Emerson on Lincoln.

The president impressed me more
favorably than I had hoped. A frank
sincere, well-meaning man, with a
lawyers habit of mind, good, clear
statement of his fact, correct enough,
not vulgar, as described; but with a
sort of boyish cheerfulness, or that
kind of sincerity and jolly good mean
ing that our class meetings on COM
mencement days show, in telling our
old stories over. When he has made
his remark, he looks up at you with
great satisfaction, and shows all his
white teeth, and laughs. He argued
to Sumner the whole case OF Gordon.
the slave trader point by point, and
added that he was not quite satisfied
vet. and meant to refresh his memory
by looking again at the evidence. All
this showed fidelity and consci'
entiousness very honorable to him.
When was introduced to him, he
said, ooh, Mr.. Emerson, once heard
you say in lecture, that Kentuckian
seems to say by his air and manners,
Here am l.; if you don't like me, the
worse for YOU DIARY of R. W. EN-
erson in the Atlantic.

western state applied to him for some
minor offices. The president was dis.
gusted at their opportunities, but
finally told them story.
Zone time king went hunting. On
his way to the forest he met subject
riding donkey. Hello, king said the
subject. Hello subject said the king.
Where are you going. king?' I'm 60
ing hunting, subject Better not, it's
going to RAIN No, 1t isn't said the
king, my court astrologer said that 1t
would be fair weather. No, it's going
to rain,' persisted the subject, but the
king laughed at him and went hunting.
1t rained hard and the king returned
to his castle wet and bedraggled and
ordered that his astrologer's head be
cut of. He sent for the subject who
had foretold rain and made him court
astrologer. But am no good at fore.
casting said the subject But you told
me it was going to rain said the
king. 4 knew that because my jackass
hung his ears down. replied the sub
ject. Every time he does that it is
going to rain Then will make your
jackass court astrologer.' said the king
and he did.
I Lincoln stopped there and his visit.
>ors laughed q little, but limited that
they did not see much point in the
story. Then the president added:
ever since that time every jackass in
the kingdom has wanted Job"

scant fare which greeted us at many
of the dingy taverns we struck Lincoln
said nothing"
His forbearance in this regard well
warrants the observation he is said on
one occasion to have made. that he
never SO completely felt his "own un-
worthiness as when he stood face to
face with real, live hotel clerk. ;" How
he appeared on the circuit may be
cleaned from this sketch Of him drawn
by Henry c. Whitney, one of his col
leagues in central Illinois:
Ellis hat was brown, faded and the
nap usually worn or rubbed off. He
wore short cloak and sometimes a
shawl. His coat and vest hung loosely
on his giant frame. His trousers were
invariably too short. In one hand he
carried faded green umbrella with
"A. Lincoln in large white cotton or
muslin letters, sewed on the inside.
The knob was gone from the handle
and a piece of cord was usually tied
around the middle OF the umbrella to
keep 1t from flying open. In tie other
hand he carried a carpet bag, in which
were stored the few papers he used In
court and Undertaking enough to last
till his return to Springfield. Jesse
w. Weik In the Century.
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1905-02-10

Finally he got one, a good, hard
working fellow, who was a great help
to him, and who stayed longer than
any, OF the others. This fellow had
only one fault, he used to love to sing
He sang all the time about the house
and when the was working In the
field.
"By and by the old farmer got SO
that the singing disturbed him con-
siderable. So he called up the man
and said: look here, John, you must
stop this singing. It's really more
than I can stand. Don't let mo hear
you again"
"John went out and tried silence
for couple o: days, but one morning
the old farmer found a note for him
saying: Hare gone to hoe where |
can sing" So, CONFESS, just thought
I'd let 'em sing" s'
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.

LINCOLN ON CIRCUIT.
Welcomed by All tho Other
Lawyers and by tho
y Landlords.

Following the court about on the
circuit was, no doubt, the Joy OF LIN
coln't life. He was so fond OF 1t that
he declined flattering offer to enter
lucrative law partnership in Chica-
go because, as he contended, it would
necessitate more or less confinement
in the Office and therefore keep him OH
the circuit.
Seated in one-horse buggy, behind
a sorry-looking animal, he would set
out from Springfield to be gone for
weeks at stretch. The lawyers, as
he drove into each successive place,
eagerly anticipating new stock OF
stories. gave him cordial welcome
and the landlords hailed his coming
with delight, for he was one OF the
most patient and accomplishing OF
guests. III every other fellow" relates
one Of his colleagues, "grumbled at

Can You Improve This?

It Is not very we'll known that in
the hall of one Of the great colleges
of England there hangs frame in
closing a few sentences of which
Abraham Lincoln is the author. They
are considered the best English that
was ever written. You or might
read them over and call them very
simple indeed. And they are so sim
pie that any child who reads at all
can read and understand them. That
is one thing that makes them great.
It was his being simple and plain that
made Lincoln himself great. u
Now, here Is little paragraph by
Lincoln which he made a rule of his
conduct. Suppose you try to write 1t
over and see how much you can i'm
prove it. See If each word is the right
one, and try to find better word for
the place. Notice how simple this Is;
all but two are words of single
syllable:
II am not bound to win, but ! am
bound to be true, am not bound to
succeed, but am bound to live up to
the light l have. must stand with
anybody that stands right, stand with
him while he Is right, and part with
him when he goes wrong"

TREASURES PAIR 81 GLASSES
Spectacles Worn by Lincoln the Night
Of the Assassination.

SpeCtaCIeS WOVH Wy .'''SS' 49, S''
Of the Assassination.
A cherished treasure of Mrs. Andrew
B. Carter Of WATERFOWL, N. =, Is a
pair of spectacles formerly worn and
owned by Abraham Lincoln. Ihey
were found in his pocket at the time
he was shot by John, Wilkes Booth
in Ford's theater in Washington April
IA, 1865.
Mrs. Carriers father, William Fl. II.
Reyes, was a private in one OF the
regiments quartered in Washington
then. and was on duty at the theater
on the night of the tragedy. .
He was one of the detail that guard
ed the passage through which the dy'
ing president was carried from the
theater. AS Lincoln was placed in the
carriage the spectacles slid from his
pocket into the gutter, and before
Reyes could restore them the carriage
had driven away.
Reyes afterward sent them to his
