TAD LINCOLN'S FAST DAY
PICNIC.

If there was ever a boy in danger
of being "spoiled, it was the young
est son of President Lincoln. Much
of the time it was impossible that he
should not be left to run at large.
He was foolishly caressed and petted
| by people who wanted favors of his
father, and who took this way of
making a friend in the family, as
they thought; and he was living in
the midst of q most exciting epoch
in the country's history, when a boy
in the white house was in a strange
and somewhat unnatural atmosphere.
But | am bound to say that Tad, al
though he doubtless had his wits
sharpened by being in such strange
surroundings, was never anything
else while | knew him, but a bolster
Gus, rollicking, and absolutely real
boy.
Great was Tad's curiosity, IN 1864,
to know what was meant by the pres
ident's proclamation for a day of
, fasting and prayer. His inquiries
were not satisfactorily answered, but
from the servants he learned, to his
great dismay, that there would be
nothing eaten in the white house from
sunrise to sunset on fast day. The
/ boy, who was blessed with a vigor
GUS appetite, took measures to escape
} from the rigors of the day. 1t hap
