Force of Habit,

Speaking of force of habit, sorle
years ago there was an iron railing
around the capitol grounds at Washing
ton. The appropriation bill provided
for a Waterman to close and lock the
gates every night at certain hour and
open them at a certain hour every
morning. In the course of time the
railing or fence was removed, but the
gates swung between their Egyptian
pillars for a long time, and all that
time the Waterman came and went reg
ularly, closing and opening the gates
according to law and drawing his sal

1t has been said that no man is hero
to his valet, and it is likely that few men
who are protected by others from per-
sonal dangers appear to their guards to
exist on so high plane as to the rest of
the world. This does not seem to have
been true regarding Abraham Lincoln.
He appears to have been held in greater
vensration. if possible, by the troops who
were engaged in his protection than by
any other members of the Federal army.
1t was popularity of Lincoln that, al
though those who were near him daily
could not help but see that he possessed
certain defects, their devotion to him
was intensified by their constant contact
with him.

LIncoln's Religion.

AS to whether Lincoln was q profess
ing Christian, men may contend with
some satisfaction, perhaps, among them
selves; as to whether he lived in favor
with God, that is a matter between him
and his Maker. There is no doubt among
those conversant with the man and the
results of his life upon this point. There
is New Testament definition of pure
religion and undefled, and the normal
life of Abraham Lincoln was very closely
modelled according to that definition. 1t
is true that he was not perfect man.
In this respect he resembled all members
of the human race. But his public and
private papers abound with passages Of
which the following, taken from letter
written Jan. IL, 1851, in which he sent
a message to his dying stepfather, is a
fair sample;
Tell him to remember to call upon eur great
and good and merciful Maker, who will not
turn away from him in any extremity nor for
get the dying man who puts his trust in him.

fore, and where the rest of US, through the

Lincoln possessed firm, well grounded
belief in God, and that he made religion

feet always appeared to'be uneasy IN
the stirrups, which were invariably too
short. His knees were usually up to
the withers of his iron gray horse. His
arms were longer in proportion than his
legs, and his elbows were always flap
ping as he rode. Sometimes he went to
the White House in barouche.
When we got into camp at night aft
er supper, it was our custom to gather
about the campfire and talk over cur
rent news, the events of the day in the
camp, our grievances and the like. Mr..
Lincoln used to leave the house, come
down near the edge of the camp and
pace up and down as if in deep thought.
Whenever he heard loud talking, he
would send In and inquire its cause. We
soon appreciated the situation, and when
we had been i'll treated we used to make
it point to talk the matter over in loud
tones.
Once the quartermaster general in
creased the price of clothing. Soldiers
were allowed $44 a year each for cloth
ing. and whatever they found it neces-
sary to draw over that amount was de-
Quoted from their pay of $l3 month.
The price Of overcoats was raised from
so to $l2, pants from $500 to 81 and so
on. Well, on the evening of the day that
this order was promulgated we all got
about the campfire and began to discuss
the situation very earnestly. Mr.. Lin
coin was sitting on the veranda, and we
knew we would soon attract his atten-
ton. After awhile Lincoln left the We
randa and came down and stood just out
side the circle. Finally he called the
sergeant out and asked what all the loud
talk was about. The sergeant explained
with great particularly of course. The
president listened very gravely.
"This is entirely wrong" he said, and
went back to his place on the veranda.
The next day the obnoxious order
was rescinded, as we knew it would be.
On another occasion one of our men
drew two pairs of socks. They purport-
ed to be of wooden, knit ribbed or seam
ed, and looked like very comfortable,
serviceable footwear. But they were
shoddy of the rankest sort. The soldier
put one pair on in the morning and was
in the saddle all day. At night his stock
ings came off in strips with his heavy
cavalry boots. The man was in his tent,
of course, but the highly original re-
marks which he made as he surveyed the
wreck of that pair of stockings were ut
tered in so high key as to be audible
for some distance from the canvas shell
ter. While he was cussing loudest the
flap of his tent was pulled aside, and
face and a voice made themselves mani
fest. Need l say they were the presi-
dents?
Corporal" said Mr.. Lincoln, don't
you think you are using rather strong
language"
WELL" was the reply, Its enough to
make man swear" ana the corporal
held up the strips that remained to the
ribbed wooden socks.
Mr.. Lincoln understood in a moment.
He asked if tie corporal had another
pair, and being answered in the affirma-

tive asked further the privilege of exam
ming them. The stockings were handed
to him, and he tore one of them into
strips and took it and the uninjured one
away with him. The next day he Sc
cured the name of the contractor who
furnished such socks for the soldier boys
and the inspector who passed them. A
fortnight later the corporal had the
privilege of escorting these gentlemen
on little journey to Albany. They had
been sentenced to seclusion of two
years in the penitentiary there, having
been tried and convicted of their offenses
in the meantime.
The last time ever saw Mr.. Lincoln
was few months later than the events
of which have told you. My regiment
had gone to the front, but was still in
Washington, where had been detailed
to do clerical work. / had been ordered
to Join the regiment, but naturally de-
sired to remain where was. A certain
general also desired me to remain, but
Secretary Stanton, to whom the matter
was referred, said that it would rest
with the president. Owing to the friend
ship felt for me by the general men
toned, was admitted to Mr. Lincoln's
presence while my request was put be-
fore him. This was very unusual, but
thought that surely l would be per-
mitted to stay. The president sat in a
window seat swinging his leg while the
talk was going on.
"Young man." he said, when the case
had been stated, you are young. You
are good fighting timber. You are strong
and healthy, and it will do you good to

HOW HE KEPT HIS vow.
When Lincoln Got His Chance, He Hit
Slavery q Hard Blow.

On the 22d day of September, 1862, the
most glorious date in the history of the
republic, the proclamation of emancipa-
ton was issued. Lincoln had reached
the generalization of all argument upon
the question of slavery and freedom-a
generalization that never has been and
probably never will be excelled.
Elm giving freedom to the slave we as
sure freedom to the free"
This is absolutely true. Liberty can
be retained and can be enjoyed only by
giving it to others. The spendthrift
saves, the miser is prodigal. In the realm
of freedom waste is husbandry. He who
puts chains upon the body of another
shackles his own soul
The moment this proclamation was is
sued the cause of the republic became
sacred. From that moment the north
fought for the human race. From that
moment the north stood under the blue
and stars-the nag of nature-sublime
and free.
In 1881 Lincoln saw iuNew Orleans a
colored girl sold at auctica. The scene
filled his soul with indignation and hor-
ror. Turning to his companions he said,
Boys, if l ever get chance to hit slav-
cry, I'll hit it hard" The helpless girl,
unconsciously, had planted in a great
heart the seed of the proclamation.
Thirty-one years afterward the chance
came, the oath was kept and to 1000, 600
slaves-men, women and children-was
restored liberty, the jewel Of the soul
In the history, in the fiction of the world
there is nothing more intensely dramatic
than this.-Robert e. Ingersoll

met a man the other day who was a
member of the Eleventh New York vol
unteers, which regiment acted for some
time in 1852 as Lincoln's bodyguard. In
speaking of Mr.. Lincoln he said:
! do not believe that the president
was ever more annoyed by anything
than by the espionage that was necessa-
rily maintained, almost constantly, over
his movements. Nearly every day we
were made aware of his feeling upon
this matter.
During the summer he lived at the
Soldiers home on Seventh street. The
house stood on rise of ground and was
a remarkably cool and pleasant one in
warm weather by reason of its broad
vsrandas. Directly in front Of the house
stood large oak tree, and from it the
ground sloped gradually to the north.
At the foot Of the slope was our camp.
It was the duty of the company serving
as the presidents guard to escort him
from his summer home, which he left at
9 o'clock in the morning, down Seventh
street and to the White House. The cap
tain rode by his side, the troops follow
ing. When the White House was reached,
Mr.. Lincoln invariably directed the cap
tain to take his company to the X street
stables and report at the White House
for return escort at 4. Mr.. Lincoln was

tary secretary came to our quarters and
asked that man be put on guard that
night in front of the house and another
at the rear. 1t was not thought safe, the
secretary explained, that the president
should be unprotected at night. Well,
the men were detailed as requested, but
do you suppose they remained at their
posts all night? Not at all. At midnight
the president opened the front door and
asked of the man stationed there:
"What are you two men doing here"
ION guard, sir" was the reply.
"Who put you hereT' was the next
question.
THE captain of our company" was
the answer.
"Well, said the president, II believe
i am commander in chief of the army.
You go back to your quarters, both of
you. give my compliments to Your cap
tain and say that | think your presence
here is quite unnecessary"
There was nothing left for the men
to do but to obey the presidents orders
The next day the guards were again
asked for, and it was suggested that the
men would do we'll to keep out of sight.
The secretary thought that all would be
well if the man stationed in front of the
house should stand behind the oak tree
of which have spoken. The man de-
tailed to be front guard that night was
sure that he did not expose himself, but
about midnight, as before, Mr.. Lincoln
became aware of the obnoxious presence
of guards and again sent them to their
quarters.
As remember him, Mr.. Lincoln was
not a graceful horseman. In fact, he |
was more ungainly when in the saddle, |
perhaps, than at any other time. His |
legs were Of exceptional length, and his
