LIncoIn's Goodness.

Thomas +. Prendle, for 80 years a
doOrkeeper at the executive mansion,
used frequently TO accompany Presi-
dent Lincoln on his walks about town
and has many interesting things to tell
of that great man, whom he believes to
have been one of the bravest men the
world has ever known.
On one occasion Prendle was walk
ing with the president down a fight of
steps at the navy department when
they came suddenly upon man who
was evidently endea voring to hide him
self in Il dark corner at the bottom of
the staircase. Observing the stranger
and fearing he meant harm to the
president, Prendle essayed to place his
body in a position to protect his COM
panion.
Mr.. Lincoln, however. brave and
fearless as always, stepped forward
and closely scrutiniZed the man, who
ran rapidly up the steps and, turning
sQuarely around when he reached the
top, looked down upon the president,
who did not falter, but continued to
gaze sharply at him. On their return
to the White House Mr.. Lincoln said
quite calmly, 'Prendle, do you know
/ received a letter last night warming
me against n man who exactly an
swered the description of that man
we met on the stepsT-Leslie's Week
