AN ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN.

Pennsylvania Town.
In the course of an article in st.
Nicholas Mary Lillian Herr relates the
following characteristic anecdote oi
Lincoln:
Once while on his way to Washing
ton as president the train stopped III
tie time in the town of Allegheny, ia.
Around the station a great crowd gatn-
cred, eager to see the new president.
They shouted and cheered until Lincoln
had to appear OH the rear platform OF
his car. He bowed and smiled, but tne
crowd was so noisy he did not try 10
speak to them.
Very near TO the platform stood a
miner, wearing a red shirt and blue
overalls and carrying a dinner pail.
Like the rest, he had stopped hoping 10
soc Mr.. Lincoln. The workman was al
most a giaut in size and lowered heau
and shoulders above the crowd.
No doubt he had heard that Lincoln

the friendly face, the workman sudden
" waved his bare arm above his heao
and called out: n
"Hi, there, Abe Lincolnl I'm taller
than you-yes, sight tallerP'
This loud speech silenced the Grove
by it's boldness, and laugh arose Blu
MIR. Lincoln, leaning forward with
good humored smile, said quietly:
my man, doubt tin fact, In
sure am the taller. However, come ~

The crowd made way and the workman
climbed to the platform and stood bac

Low browed woman that stole my love.
Fairer than /, less true,
You fooled him first with your willy tongue
And your eyes deceitful blue.
You looked in his till you made him swear
His first love was all dream,
While you let him toy with your yellow hair
And baslI in your smiles false CLEAN.
Welladay for your eyes so bright
Weeping has made mine dim.
You would smile on, though he lay i'm his
grave
could have died for him.
