Vainly did the servant who had fol-
him to desist. No. Master Tad. the
pet of the White House, was not to be
prevented from adding to the loyal
demonstration Of the hour.
To: his surprise, however, the crowd
viewed it differently. Had it fiolteG
from any other window in the capital
that day, no doubt it would have been
the target of contempt and abuse;
but when the president, understanding
what had happened, turned, with a
smile on his grand plain face, and
showed his approval by gesture and
expression, cheer after cheer rent the
air. 1t was, surely enough, the ex-
preston of peace and goodwill, which,
of all our commanders, none was better
pleased to promote than the command

Tad, as he was called at home, was
his fathers idol and constant compan-

trlst to the presidents tall, lank form.
In these walks they had chats which

WAVED A CONFEDERATE FLAG

Little Tad Lincoln Thought He Would
Help in the Big Demonstration.
One Of the prettiest incidents in the
closing days of our civil war occurred
when the troops marching home
again passed in grand form, if with
well-worn uniforms and tattered bunt-
ing, before the White House, says Har-
per's Young People. Naturally an i'm
me1lSe crowd had assembled on the
streets, the lawns, porches, balconies
and windows, even those Of the execu-
tive mansion itself being crowded to
excess.
A central figure was that of the
President, Abraham Lincoln, who. with
barred head, unfurled and waved our
nations flag in the midst of hlsty
cheers. But suddenly there was an I'M
expected sight. A small boy leaned
forward and sent streaming to the air
the banner Of the boys in gray. 1t was
an old flag which had been captured
from the confederatnS. and which the
urchin, the presidents second son. Tad.
had obtained possession of. and con-
sidered an additional token of triumph
to unfurl on this all important day.
