LIkCOLN'S PECULlARiTlES.
Some Anecdotes of the Great Emancipa-
tor Told by Artist Conant Who
Painted His Portrait.

A. J. Conant, the artist, recalls some
interesting stories about Lincoln,
whose portrait he once painted for the
first exhibition of the Western Acad-
envy of Art in st. Louis. 1t was his
custom he said, in painting this to 20
to Mr.. Liucoln's office in the old State
building, Is Mr.. Lincoln was at that
time (lSGJ) busted with political at.
fairs and could not find time for for
NAL sttings. Thc first time MIR. Co
nant visited Mr. Lincoln for this pur
pose he found the expession upon hi-
face quite the reverse Of the melancholy
and serious one he supposed he wore.
1t was 50 bright, animated and genial
that Mr.. Gonaut at once made up his
mind to depict il if he could. With this
in view, it was his custom to tell
humorous stories, which. when they
touched Nr. Lincoln fancy, made
him forget for the time his absorbing
affairs. One day Mr.. lincoln told
how, when running as he termed It,

cn-doWu horse and a wagon filled with
household ''pundcr,N and asked him

half dollar. The man Went of and
Lincoln stored the stuff. some weeks
after the purchase Lincoln had occa,
