Ellis was in the Union army in the
Civil War and treasures as his most
valuable experience, one of which he
never tires telling, a meeting which
he had with Abraham Lincoln while
the latter was President.
According to Ellis, he and the 'Rail
Splitter' together chopped down a
'large tree when Lincoln made one of
his few visits to the union army. El-
lis served under General A. Smith,
who commanded a brigade in Grant's
forces.
"During a lull in the fighting," El-
lis said, "some of us were assigned to
cut down trees for firewood. I had not
heard that Lincolnn was witfhi us. I
was busy chopping when a tall, gaunt
man wearing whiskers came up to
me, accompanied by several officers,
including General Smith. I rested my
axe a momment and saluted, still not
knowing the man in civilian clotihes
was Lincoln. I was amazed when this
tall man came smiling to me and
said.
"Would you mind letting me have
that axe for a minute? 1 haven't cut
a tree down in six years."
"I handed over the axe and the tall
man got busy at once, sinking the
blade deep into a large tree, afew feet
away. I could see he was an expert, for
he made his chips fly and was soon
half through the wood. Then he hand-
ed the axe back to me, thanked me
quietly and remarked that he hadn't
forgotten his old trade after all.
When the party turned to go, Gen-
eral Smith called me to him.
"Do you know Who that man was
who borrowed your as? he asked.
"I .xlm'lMd that I did wot k: '<-<? the
gentleman.
"Well, you have something to re-
member then, for that man is none
ofher than our President, Abraham
Lincoln."
"In a moment they had gone and
left me standing there dumbly with
an ax in hand, so I decided the best
thing I could do would be to finish
Lincoln's job. So I went to the other
side of the tree and cut through until
it fell. Abraham Lincoln and Charles
Ellis cut down the tree. I never saw
Lincoln again."
«Ed Ellis says his father has not
aged any in the last thirty years.
When asked as to what he attributed
his long life and good health the elder
Ellis said:
"I do not feel so old. Rheumatism
has left me somewhat crippled, but
mentally and spiritually I am young.
I can only tell you that I have lived
106 years, probably due to pure food,
pure air pure water and pure thoughts
1 believe nearly all men could reach
my age if they wanted to, but so ma-
ny of tthera prefer to indulge them-
selves in excesses that never bring
them any pleasure, that they die off
at the tender age of 60, 70 and 80.
Don't laugh, there is no excuse, for
not living to be at least 100 years old
and enjoying every minute of it, too.
The centenarian has two amuse-
ments, playing ith his great grand-
children and whittling.
served free coffee and tea with the
pies. Dancing and other games were
played throughout the evening, and
everyone left at a late hour saying
the pie supper was a decided success.
On Thanksgiving eve the club mem-
bers and their families, about 60 in all
met for a good time at Nick Rausches
the evening was spent in games, par-
ty games and dancing.
Refreshments of sandwiches, cake
and coffee were served and there cer-
tainly was sandwiches and cake ga-
lore. It was an evening long to be
remembered by all that were there.
The club met in a regular meeting
on Saturday afternoon, instead of
Thursday afteroon at Mrs. Joe Bug-
ners. Ten ladies answered roll call.
This being the time to elect new offi-
cers the following were elected: For
President Mrs. R. B. James; vice prea
ident, Mrs. A. Frye, for Sec-tneas
Mrs Silven Brown and for reporter,
Mrs. Nick Rausch. Plans were made
for a Xmas tree on Xmas eve at the
Roy Games home. After everything
went so nicely having the pie supper
in the basement at this place it was
decided that would be the plaoe to
have the Xmas tree.
Mrs. Gugner served dainty refresh-
ments of Pumpkin pie with whipped
cneam, tea and coffee. The meeting
adjourned to meet with Mrs. Brown
next Thursday Dec. 7.

NOT GUILTY
D. N. Owen, of Clmarroi| county
tried in the district court last week in
Guymon, charged with murder, was
acquitted in the local court. The
defendant was represented by John L.
Gleason, Ross Rizley and W. G. Hugh-
es of the local bar and Judge Pugh of
Marlow. The prosecution was by
County Attorney Hill, of Cimarron Co
and Judge Hillyer of Denver and Mark
Adams, County Attorney. The defen-
dant, an aged citizen of Cimarron Co.
became mixed in the tragedy at a sale
several years ago in whioh two of the
Tanner men and a young man by the
name of Green was killed. The defen-
dant in battle, entered a plea of self
defense and the jury took that view of
the ease. The defendant was greatly
pleased bythe verdict, but a feature
that he appreciated more than all oth-
ers was when the former widow of
Jess Tanner, who was killed by the de-
fendant and friends, took the. defen-
dants proffered hand, and by the act
wiped out a bitterness of long stand-
ing and indicated that she bore no ill
will toward the aged man whom the
jury had just released. The old Mo-
siac law that demands an eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth is gradual-
ly giving way to the nobility of hu-
man charity.—Guymon Tribune.
