One or two recognized him pe Lincoln, the son of a backwoodsman of the “poor white” sort, They gathered around Abe and began to tease him. He bore their ill-treatment good naturedly until the bully of the group struck him, Then the peaceful youngster was all at once transformed into a fighte — , ing machine, In half a minute he had thrashed the bigger boy and was at the throat of another of his tormentors. The second boy and a third were beaten until they howled for mercy, After which Abe set his back tg a tree and challenged the whole crowd to fight, calling them cowards | tion iu the neighborhood was lan of the earth.
