HIS BIG TENDER HEART.
The foundation of Lincoln's love for
children was not, however, by any
means the amusement he got from
watching and quizzing them. 1t was
the remarkable tenderness of his
heart toward the weak and innocent.
Mr.. Conant says that after he had fin

Lincoln followed him to the door.
Having said goodbye to my little
