Al Good Lincoln story.

A Characteristic anecdote Of Lincoln
dates back to the time when there
were so many fires at the national
capital that suspicion OF incendiarisi
was entertained, and various northern
cities began to offer the services Of
special fire brigades. The authorities
of Philadelphia in particular were most
urgent and sent a special committee
to wait on the President and urge him
TO accept the services Of such brigade.
The committee was tedious and long
winded, and the President was anxious
to get back to the public business
which demanded his attention. Fin
ally, seeing no prospect Of . tsrutina'
ton Of the interview in the usual way
he interrupted one Of the orators u
the midst Of q grandiloQusnt flight BY
saving:
An, yes, gentlemen, but 1t 10 . mis-
take to suppose that I am the head OF
the fre department In Warrington ]
am merely the President Of the United
