When 1t is remembered that Abra-
ham Lincoln was not what might be
called handsome or even cookbook
ing man, in the popular acceptance of
the term, and that he lived in a period
when photography was in its infancy,
it is surprising how many times he
must have posed for the camera artist
during the seventeen years of his &C.
tive public life. He must have yield
ed with great good nature to the APP
plications for sitting from photog-
raphers, Every now and then new
unknown" photograph of Lincoln is
turning up in some old album or store
room, and although the number is al
ready large, it is hard to tell if they
have yet all been found.
While the photographer was busy
recording on the sensitive plate the
image of his distinguished subject, the
engraver was not idle, and as result
there are over 200 different engraved
portraits of Lincoln known to col
lectors. Many of these pictures are,
however, hardly worthy of cons;dera-
ton, as they are really but poor
copies, with some slight change in
costume or pose, from celebrated orig
ihals.
The wide field of Lincoln portraiture
really offers an interesting opportunity
for the careful study of his facial ap-
pearance at different periods of his
active career. Particularly is this
true since the recent discovery of
several early portraits of Mr.. Lincoln
which fill a gap and satisfy curiosity

worn expression of later life; yet it is
full of intelligence.
In the collection of Lincoln portraits
owned by Justice. James T.. Mitchell OF
the Supreme court Of Pennsylvania is
an old ambrotype of Lincoln. Here
tofore, it is believed, unpublished.
This picture is full of interest, as it
was taken just before the famous de-
bate between Douglas and Lincoln.
Lincoln was ~ years of age when
this old ambrotype was made. Only
four years older than when the Chi
cago photograph just mentioned was
taken, and yet the change in his ap-
pearance is most striking. One would
say he had aged ten years at least.
The lines on the face have multiplied
and deepened, while the gentle exa
preston of the poet has been utterly
dissolved into one of calm, unbending
determination. The rising country
lawyer has become a full-fedged man
of the world:
Another recently discovered and
exceedingly rare portrait of Lincoln
made at about the time of the Doug
| las debate was engraved by an I'M
known artist in Philadelphia. 1t is
one of the few full length pictures of
Lincoln that is not caricature, and is
interesting from this point of view

as to his appearance at the start of

as to his appearance at the start Of
his career.
Robert T. Lincoln owns what is
probably the earliest portrait of his
father. 1t is an old daguerreotype,
taken about 1S4S, probably at Wash
ington, when Lincoln was serving his
only term in congress. This portrait
is but slightly suggestive of the Lin
coin of later life. The countenance,
it has been remarked, is rather that
of poet than that of a statesman -
and not a few of those who have been
permitted to examine it have been
impressed with the striking resem-
blance it bears to the face of Emer-
son.
One of the earliest photographs of
Lincoln was owned by Geo. Schneider
of Chicago, former editor of the
Stats Zeitung, one of the most in
fluential anti-slayery newspapers in
the west In 1854 Mr.. Lincoln was in
Chicago and Mr.. Isaac N. Arnold, a
prominent politician and lawyer of
Illinois, invited Mr.. Schneider to dine
with Lincoln. After dinner, as the
gentlemen were going downtown. they
stopped at an itinerant photograph
wagon and Mr.. Lincoln had his picture
taken.
A curious contradiction, indeed. is
the Lincoln of this photograph to the
Lincoln in the popular mind. He was
then about As years of age and had
probably not lost what youthful vanity
he once possessed. Instead of being
rough and devoid of fashion, his cos
tune is almost that of an exquisite,
while his form, if stiff, is neither awk-
ward nor ungainly. The pose is even
graceful. His face is just beginning
to show few lines, but his counte-
nance is entirely devoid of the care
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1904-02-11

and patriotic soul, Hhose influence was
revealed in his confidential letters
and talks. We know furthermore
that he often took counsel of his cab
met officers before deciding matters
of moment. Certain it is that in ar
bitrary arrests Seward and Stanton
were disposed to go farther than Lin
coin. The spirit OF arbitrary power
was in the air, and unwise and unjust
acts were done by subordinates which
although Lincoln could not have cone
himself, he deemed it better to ratify
than to undo. This was notably the
case in the arrest of Valandighar.
Again, Congress did not always do
what Lincoln wished, and certain men
of his own party in Congress were
strong enough to influence his actions
in various ways. But, after all, he
was himself strong man exercising
comprehensive authority; and it is
an example of the fexibility of the
constitution that, while it surely did
not authorize certain of Lincoln's acts,
it did not expressly forbid them

the dandy, is at the same time in good
taste and thoroughly in the mode of
the period. Indeed, none of Lincoln's
authentic pictures suggest the outland-
ish garbs in which he is pictured for
some reason or other in the popular
mind. Perhaps because SO shown by
the average cartoonist.
In the collection of H. W. Fay of
De Kalb, ILL.,, is probably the earliest
portrait of Lincoln with beard. 1t
was taken early in 1861. His face was
smooth until about the end of 1860,
and when he first allowed his beard
to grow it was the subject of much
public comment. 1t seems pity that
he ever thus disfigured himself, as his
beard, instead of improving his ap-
pearance, hid his strong chin and also
added to the almost distressed express
sion which his face constantly wore
while in repose in later life.
Justice Mitchell has in his collec-
ton two other interesting portraits of
Lincoln. One is an idealized bust, now
but little known. 1t was executed by
John Sartain, the noted engraver, dur
ing the presidency of the great liber-
ator. The engraver,. being great
admirer OF Lincoln, took all the pains
of the retoucher to present the none
too handsome countenance of the
President in the most attractive man
ner possible All the lines in his face
are gone, as we'll as the hollow and
careworn expression. His beard is
carefully combed and hair neatly ar
ranged. In brief, the engraver has
done all in his power to beautify the
subject, but the result, from the stand
point of likeness, is unsatisfactory
and the picture is principally interest
ing as curiosity.
The other picture is along the same

LINCOLN AS a DICTATOR.
Restrained Always by the Promptingo
of His Conscience.

restrained Always py the FroHiptlnSo
of His Conscience.
Lincoln is inaugurated President;
the civil war ensues, and with it an
extraordinary development of the
executive power. 1t is an interesting
fact that the ruler of republic which
sprang from resistance to the Eng.
1ish king ard parliament should ex.
ercise more arbitrary power than any
Englishman since Oliver Cromwell
and that many of his acts should be
worthy of a Tudor. Lincoln was a
good lawyer who revereneed the con-
stitution and the laws; and only
through necessity assumed and exer-
cised extra-lega1 powers, trying at the
same time to give to these actions
the color of legality. Hence his theory
of the war power of the constitution,
which may be construed to permit
everything necessary to carry on the
war. Yet his. dictatorship was diff
ferent from Caesars and different
from the absolute authority of Ma
poleon. He acted under the restraints
imposed by his own legal conscience

Post sought an audience with the

MY boy" said Mr.. Lincoln, as the
lad concluded his story, IF you want
to go home to your mother, you shall.
You were too young to go into the
war, and the man who permitted you
to enlist should be dismissed from the
service. admire your courage and
patriotism, but. your place is at home
with your mother"
The President then wrote the note
quoted above, handed it to Post, and,
telling him that would put him
through his troubles. dismissed him
with God bless you," Secretary
Stanton gave him furlough and
transportation home. When he re-
gained his health and strength he re,

his regiment until the close Of the

why the Lord Made So Many.

In Lincoln's lips, the words that
often came were these-"The common
people" To those who lived with him
and talked with him, especially dur
ing the Civil War, it seemed as if he
could never cease thinking of those
who were just human beings, inlet
tered, unknown, inglorious. A Con-
gresham from a Western district ap-
preached him during his term as Pres
ident, and apologized for presenting a
petition from his constituents, because
they were very common people.
WELL" said Lincoln, pleasantly,
God must love the common people.
He's made so many of 'em."-Success.
