Lincoln wasn't handsome, and yet there
was nothing unpleasant, nothing you
wouldn't quickly like in Lincoln's looks.
He was swarthy as an Indian, with IA shock
of wiry, jet black hair which fell in all di
rections and delied combs and brushes to
the death His eyebrows carried out the
shaggy effect, while his bright, keen eyes
were gray. Lincoln's personal courage had
no limit. He was afraid of nothing on
earth He received, know as many as
half dozen letters every week threatening
assassination. He never needed them and
seldom referred to them. He went about
as freely as Grover Cleveland does now. He
would get into the saddle and canter out
TO the Soldiers home, six miles, and an
assassin could have picked him off with n
rifle at every step of the way. Lincoln
never appeared to have the slightest fear
of it. Star ton used to get scared and put
guards around Lincoln, but the latter only
laughed at it-Senator VOORHEES, in Kansas

Division Superintendent Fraser Of the
Southern Pacific who livesat Fresnoa has
charge of the compauy's lines in the san
joaquin valley, is bright, capable railroad
officer. He is comparatively new man in

Kentucky Central road.
Ten or twelve years ago an incident oc.
cured that first brought Fraser under the
notice of Mr. Huntington. The latter had
Just completed the construction of the Ken
lucky Central, and one day. happening to
be at Rockport KY, thought he would
take ride He boarded the train on which
Fraser was conductor. The latter did not
know the owner of the road and had not
the least idea what manner of man he was.
Going through the train collecting tick
cts Conductor Fraser eventually reached
Huntington. who was gazing interestedly
through the car window as the train was
crossing the high and long bridge over
Greer river.
"Tickct, please" said the conductor to
