General Daniel Sickles told story
illustrating the tenderness of President
Lincolns heart as well as his faith In
Providence and his beautiful optimism.
After Sickles had been wounded at
Gettysburg he was removed to Wash

at the hospital. When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter, Lincoln wept like u child"

shoulders, and from that moment
never had doubt as to the result. We
shall hear good news from Grant, who
has been pounding away at vicksburg
for SO many months. / am in pro-
phetic mood today, Sickles, and l say
that you will get WELL"
''The doctors do not say so."
II don't care, Sickles, you will get
WELL" persisted the president.
And that afternoon, General Sickles
goes on to say, telegram was receiv.

listened intently as he sat In his office
and for a minute could not decide
whether 1t was a bill collector, the
agent of the building or the tailor to
whom he owed So. He at first decided
to leave the door locked and take no
chances, but as the steps finally re-
solved themselves into those of q
stranger to the stairs he unlocked the
door, sat down at his desk and seemed

Gated in the center Of an old buryina

knew not the cares or worries of ris,

ground his corn and wheat for his
neighbors and lived contentedly ON his
small profits.
Chiseled on the back of the monu
ment Is this poem:
A MILLER'S MONUMENT.

Beneath this stone miller lies,
Who left the world before the rise
OF modern ways Of making -four
And hence passed many happy houss
lie was not forced to speculate
Nor on Chicago's movement wait.
He did not care for foreign trade,
But sold his neighbors all he mads.
Cables and kilograms were rare;
The markets did not make him swear.
Small was his mill, his profits round;
Clear was his head, his slumbers sound.
DO He envied none, he was envied not
And died contented with his lot.
