Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1914 — Something Abe Lincoln Never Did. [ARTICLE]

Something Abe Lincoln Never Did.

Abraham Lincoln never said “Hello, Central,” never dodged an automobile, never held a strap in a trolley car, never pushed a button for light, never heard a phonograph, never saw a moving picture, never traveled faster than about thirty miles an hour, never read printed matter set in any other manner than by hand, never saw men flying in the air, never received a wireless message, never posed for a modern picture, and yet Abraham Lincoln died only forty-nine years ago. Truly, the old world has been spinning in high gear for the past halfcentury.—Exchange.
