LINCOLN GOULD eET ANGRY.
As, For Example, When His Telegrams
Were Delivered to stanton.

As, For Example, When HIS Ielegrams
Were Delivered to stanton.
''I have read several Lincoln ami
versary speeches, said Mr.. Charles
Frederick, 'and have been struck with
the statement contained in some of
them to the effect that Mr.. Lincoln sell
dom got mad, and that when he did get
mad he did not allow himself TO get
very mad. If these speakers spoke from
their personal experience, it is all right,
but my personal experience with him
one night satisfied me he could get up
terribly good sized case of mad at times.
81 was boy at the time and was a
messenger for the old American Tele-
graph company, which in after years
was absorbed by the present Western
Union telegraph. For several days there
had been a number Of kilograms for the
president from army officers, and among
them l remember two or three from
General Mcclellan. don't remember
now why they did not come over the
military telegraph lines. Well. one
night started over to the White House
with telegram that knew came from
General Mcclellan. 1t was for the pres
ident.
Sin those days there was always a
guard of soldiers stationed at the two
avenue gates, as also at the other gates,
but messenger boys were generally we'll
known, and they We're admitted day or
night without any question, at least to
the front door, where another soldier
guard was also stationed. There was
always an officer about the door, who
reoeipted for kilograms. This night
however, saw Mr.. Lincoln coming to-
ward the outer gate, and 1 thought l
would personally hand him the tele-
gram, which did. He smiled pleasant
ly enough as he opened it, but a change
suddenly came over him.
." Have you the other telograms?' he
demanded Of me. replied that had
but the one. though l informed him
that knew that there had been one or
two others that day from General Nc
Clellan.
d" That is what he says, added the
president, and what annoys mo is that
have not received them.
'Ihen, turning to the sentry, he
said: Send up to the door for tho Off
Ger in charge and tell him that when
kilograms come here addressed to me
they should and must be delivered to
me. Tell him also, and by this time
the president was very mad, that if he
sends any more Of my kilograms over TO
Mr.. Stanton's S houseI'll drive him away
from here Mr.. Stanton has enough tel
egrams Of his own and should not kave
mine.
Though was but boy, said Nh.
Frederick, Il could see that Mr.. Lin
coin was mad all the way through, and
that, for the moment at least, he was
displeased with his war minister, Secre-
tary Stanton, and that he intended cx-
actly what he said. The president, then
directing himself to me, continued
Boy, tell your folks that I must have
my kilograms and that if these soldiers
about the door interfere any more III
drive every one Of them away. / DOM

The little Toe to 60.

A comparative anatomist says that
the little toe has got to go; that it is a
useless appondage, already showing
signs Of degeneration or whitening
away. It is proved that the horse, IN
the course Of several centuries, has
dropped four toes and now travels on
one, and some think that mans pedal
extremities are bound TO follow sim
liar line Of evolution. In the horse 1t is
tho middle digit which has survived as
the fittest IN man it will bo the first
or great toe.
