Any book about Abraham Lincoln ex-
cites interest No book about him can
fail to have some value. The latest con-
tributor to Lincolniana, for 1t is little else,
Is Mr.. Norman Hapgood with Abraham
Lincoln Man of the People," published
by the Macmillan Company. Mr.. Hap
good adds nothing new to the story of
Lincoln's life, but he does make use of
and present a large collection of facts and
anecdotes available in no other one volume.
The author seems to lay stress IN his pre-
face upon his own particular honesty OF
treatment, but Lincoln seen through Mr.
Hapgood's eyes seems no more or less than
Lincoln seen through other authors eyes.
His only advantage over other Lincoln
biographers is that he has had a larger
fund OF material to draw from, and espe-
cially from Miss Tarbell and Hernden. 1t
is a convenient, well-printed volume and
worthy of a place on the book shelf of a
lover of our greatest American.

VIII Not Rebuild the steps.

The Commissioners have dissented from the
opinion expressed in a letter from y. +. Thomp-
son, Of 6lO Twelfth Street northeast. in which he
requests and demands that the District govern
ment replace a porch which was removed from
in front Of premises l0l5 Second Street north
east by District worknen who were engaged
in regarding that street. WheE the complaint
was received the Commissioners referred it 10 the
Assistant District Engineer who was in charge
OF the grading work. lie informed them that
it was found necessary to rebuild the brick re
taining walls which abutted the alley entrance
TO square No. 7I9, which is bounded by and
L, and First and Second Streets northeast. The
property Of Thompson was involved in this pro-
ceeding and in accomplishing the work the
laboreTs found it necessary, matter OF safety,
it is said, to remove the steps in front of the
house. 1t is maintained by the District Engineer
Department that these steps were in such a rot
ten and dilapidated condition that it was i'm
possible to replace them The Commissioners
decided to inform Mr.. Thompson that. owing to
the circumstances under which the steps were
removed, and, the fact that the retaining wall
rebuilt without cost to the complainant, they
cannot replace the old steps with ones.
