Culiom. Samuel ShellenDarger and
Richard Yates. Senator Cunom Of
Illinois, whose name appears as one
OF the incorporators, said recently
that he didn't remember any thing
about the association and couldn't say
why the project was not carried out
or what became OF the 100000 col
lected in one-dollar subscriptions from
all over the country.
From the record it appears that on
June %, 1868, little more than a
year after the association obtained its
charter, Congress passed a joint reso-
luton authorizing the Secretary of
War 10 place at the disposal of the
association damaged and captured
bronze and brass cannon and ordnance
out of which to cast the principal
figures surmounting the pedestal. The
act provided that no such allotment
OF ordnance should be made. however
until the voluntary subscriptions to
the monument fund should reach $780,,
600.
While no record can be found to
show just Row much money was col
lected. it is probable in view of the
above law that the amount was in eX-
cess of 100000, as the records Of the
War department show that under the
act twelve brass cannon were issued
to the association.
The last Congress record of the as
ISOLATION is an act passed in 1882, pro-
yiding that five trustees should con-
stitute a legal quorum of the asso-
citation: and it is believed that this
provision was enacted owing to the
dying out of interest in the project
and the difficulty that had been eX-
perienced in securing attendance at
the necessary meetings.
Recently q number of the engraved
subscription receipts of the association
have been found. They were executed
at the bureau of engraving and bear
the signature of Gen. F. e. Spinner,
treasurer of the association and at
that time treasurer of the United
States as well. In view of this fact
It has been suggested that If the
books Of the treasury department were
carefully examined the 100000 or
more subscribed by the people and
placed in Gen. Spinners care would
be found on deposit.
The following description of the
monument as designed by Clark Mills
and accepted by the association, was
published at the time:
"The pedestal to be of granite. end
figures bronze. the whole structure to
be 70 feet. surmounted by thirty-five
colossal figures It's construction tri-

John went out and tried silence
for couple Of days, but one morning
the old farmer found a note for him
saying: Have gone to hoe where |
can sing" So, CONFESS, just thought
I'd let EN- sing"
The real value OF the tradition lies
in its clear assertion of the fact that
Lincoln was one of the humble peo-
pie who grew to high estate. That is
true. and because the tradition put the
truth in form that every one could
grasp, it has survived.

HELD GREAT RIVALS FAT.
Stephen A. Douglas at the Inaugural
ton of Lincoln

Stephen A. Douglas at the Inaugural
ton of Lincoln.
When Lincoln was inaugurated the
first time there was one little Incl
dent that impressed those who saw it.
The president-elect came forward
upon the platform prepared at the
east front Of the capitol, with his
natural .awlSwardness increased by the
momentous circumstances Of the &C.
casion, and by a gorgeous wardrobe,
in which it was evident he felt ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable. The stiff
dress coat, vest and pantaloons OF
black broadcloth were enough OF
themselves to disturb his mental and
physical equanimity, but to these
shape of brand new silk hat and
ponderous gold-headed cane.
The cane he managed TO put away
in corner, but the disposition of the
hat perpleXed him greatly. 1t was too
good to throw away, too fine, as he
thought, to rest upon the rough
boards. SO, for a minute OF least,
poor Lincoln stood there in the gaze
of assembled thousands, grasping the
hat desperately and seeking in vain
for safe place to deposit it. Doug
las, who sat Immediately in the rear
saw the embarrassment CT his rival,
and rising, took the shining beaver
from its sorely bothered owner and
held it during the delivery Of the in
augural address.
Probably had Stephen A. Douglas
been told, five years before that he
Charlevoix county herald., 1905-02-25

was destined to hold the hat of Abra-
ham Lincoln while that individual
was appearing for the first time as
president Of the United States the
Little Giant would have laughed at
the very idea.

OOk on this cast, and know the hand
That bore nation in it's hold;
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large of mould
The man who sped the woodlands team,
And deepest sunk the ploughmans share
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF late before him unaware.
This the hand that knew to swing

And drove the wedge, and toied amain.

And, when men sought his word and look,
With steadfast might the gathering swayed.
No courtier's toying with sword,
Nor minsrels, laid across lutte;
chiefs upfted to the Lord
When all the kings OF earth were mute!
The hand of Anak, sinewed strong,
The fingers that greatness cutch

Of one who strove and suffered much.
For here, in knotted cord and vein,
trace the varying chart of years.

The weight of Atas-and the tears
Again see the patient brow
That palm erewhile won't to press;
And it's furrowed deep, and now
Made smooth with hope and tenderness
For something of formless grace
This moulded outline plays about;
A plying fame beyond our trace,
Ereathes like spirit, in and out
The love that cast aureole
Round one who. longer to endure,
Called mrth TO ease his ceaseless dole,
Yet kept his nobler purpose sure

Built ND from yon large hand, appears:
A type that Nature wills to plan
But once in all peoples years.
What better than this voiceless cast
To tell of such as he
Since through its living semblance passed
The thought that bade race be free!
