stage of his life in comparison with ours. We may
picture him in log cabin, as farmer boy, wood

to trace him we know him as the same kind
straightforward, plain and easy-going man whose
personality appeals to all. While exalted there was
always that atmosphere about him that made COM

honesty and candid manner of dealing with his fell
