ILlNcoLN's MEMORY.
Told Where He lac Put a Whetstons
Fifteen Years Before.

AohAn t
It is said that Abraham Lincoln never
forgot a face and was never at loss to
greet by name any person whom he had
eve known. Possibly this may be an
exaggeration, but many anecdotes are
told which 90 to prove that the great
president did have a wonderful memory.
When he was a comparatively young
man and II candidate for the Illinois leg
islature, he made a personal canvass Of
his district. While Swinging around
the CIRCLE he stopped one day and took
dinner with a farmer IN Sangamon
county.
Years afterward, when Lincoln had
become president, a soldier came to call
OIL him at the White House. At the first
glance the chief executive said:
"Yes, ] remember you. You used to
live on the Danville road. took dinner
with you when I was running for the
legislature, l recollect that we stood
talking together out at the barnyard
gate while | sharpened my jackknife."
"Ya-as," drawled the soldier. "You
did. But, say, wherever did you put tibet
MILESTONE? l looked fer it dozen times,
but | never could find it after the day
you used it. We lowed as how mebby
you took it long with you"
mo-" said Lincoln, looking serious
and pushing away a lot Of documents Of
state from The desk in front of him.
"No, l put it on top Of that g%atepost--
that high one.'' 'rrH
"Well," exclaimed the visitor, "meb
by you did, Couldn't nobody else have
put it there, and none of us ever thought
to look there fer it,"
Tho soldier was then OH his way
home, and when he got there the first
thing he did was to look for that whet-
stone. And, sure enough, there it was,
just where Lincoln had laid it Is years
before. The honest fellow wrote a letter
to the chief magistrate Of the nation,
telling him that the milestone had been
found and would never be lost again.

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.
He Enjoyed LIES Good Things, but Got
Few of Them.

He Enjoyed Life's Good Things, but Got
Few of Them.
Mr.. Lincoln was one Of the rare talk
ers who could always point a moral
with an adjoining tale taken out Of his
own experience. Everybody has expert
ences if he only knows it. Most Of US
are so much i'll the habit Of taking in
wisdom and fun through the printed
page or the story as another mar tells it
that we lack the capacity to see it for
ourselves.
The story teller is the man who finds
his own material. An old southern poll
tician was moralizing thus a few nights
ago and eulogizing the man the south
used to dislike:
"When Lincoln first came to Wash
ington, l went to see him, SO %prejudiced
against him beforehand that no man
with less genius could have overcome it.
l left that first interview his friend. No
man ever came under the charm of Lin
coins personality without respecting
him, and, if allowed, loving him.
"One day, after we had become fairly
good friends, | told him Of my early
prejudice.
"'Mr. Lincoln, 1 said, 4 had heard
every mean thing on earth about you
except one, l never heard that you were
too fond of the pleasures of life Mr..
Lincoln sat for a moment strOking his
long cheek thoughtfully, and then he
drawled out in his peculiar western
voice:
"'That reminds me of something that
q boy said to me when I was about 10
years old.
"'Once in awhile my mother used to
get some sorghum and some ginger and
mix us up a batch Of gingerbread. Ii
wasn't often, and it was our biggest
treat.
Zone day I smelled it and came into
the house to get my share while it was
hot. l found she had baked me three
gingerbread men, and l took them out
under n hickory tree to eat them.
"'Thero was a family near us that
was q little poorer than we were, and
their boy came along as ] sat down.
"'"Abc," he said, edging close,
gimme n man."
al gave him one. He crammed it
into his mouth at two bites and looked
at me while l bit tho legs from my first
one.
"'"Abe," he said, gimme that
other'n."
al wanted it, but I gave it to him,
and as it followed the first one I said:
"'"You seem to like Gingerbread"
"'"Abe," he said earnestly, "Idon't
s'pose thero's anybody OH this earth
lilies gingerbread as we'll as I do" and
drawing a sighthat brought up crumbs,
II don't s'pose there's anybody gets less
of il. 20"
And the old congressman said Mr..
Lincoln looked as though the subject
was ended. ANNA LEACH.
