The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1905-02-17

John went out and tried silence
for a couple of days, but one morning
the old farmer found a note for him
saying: Have gone to hoe where l
a sing" So, CONFESS, l just thought
I'd let 'em sing"
The real value of the tradition lies
in it's 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 a form that every one could
grasp, it has survived.

Lincoln's

An enthusiastic supporter from Buff
falo made the trip to Washington
during the civil war to see President
Lincoln. The visitor, whose name was
Johnson, had prepared this polite
speech to address to the president, as
he reached him at the public recep.

grasp of his visitors hand, whisper

ite tenderness of heart irradiated every
lineament and made it beautiful, as
rugged scenery becomes charming in
the play of sunlight and shadow.
The fair grounds had been selected
as the speaking place of the great
gathering, and a dozen stands, per
haps, erected, for no one mans voice
could reach one-tenth of the listeners.
Senator Lyman Trumbull, Illinois, Sen
tor Doolittle, Wisconsin, and scores of
lesser lights were there to discuss at
length the grave issues with en- earn
est intensity not equaled since the re-
public was born. The defiant and
threatening mutterings of the south.
ern wing of the democracy were full
of ominous forebodings and seemed to
inspire the orators of the occasion.
About 8 O'Clock a barouche, drawn
by white horses, brought Lincoln to
the grounds. The crowd was too dense
for the team to be driven to the stand,
SO he alighted and a born upon stall

that it kept the great man waving
very much like a turkey perched upon
a slender branch in a high wind. The
sight vas somewhat ludicrous, but he
could not fall, for there were too
many hands eager to hold him up,
deeming it a privilege to but touch the
hem of his garment. His trousers were

finally reached, and, with air of heaven
caressing and tossing his locks, he
made a brief address in acknowledge

0 on this cast, and know the hand
That bore a 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 p~loughman's share,
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF fate before him unaware.
This was the hand that knew to swing
The axe-since thus would freedom train
Her son--and made the forest ring,
And drove the wedge, and toiled amain.
Firm hand. that loftier Office took,
A conscious leaders will obeyed,
And. when men sought Ais word and look,
With steadfast might the gathering swayed-
No courtier's, toying with a sword,
Nor minstrel's, laid across a lutte;
A chiefs, uplifted to the Lord
When all the kings of earth were mute!
The hand of Anak, sinewed strong,
The fingers that on greatness clutch:
Yet, 10! the marks their lines along
or one who strove and suffered much.
For here, in knotted cord aid vein,
| trace the varying chart of years;
l know the troubled heart, the strain,
The weight of Atlas-and the tears.
Again I see the patient brow
That pam erewhile was wont to press;
And now it's furrowed deep, and now
Made smooth with hope and tenderness.
For something Of a formless grace
This moulded outline plays about;
A plying flame, beyond our trace,
Breatres like a spirit, in and out
The love that cast an aureole
Round one who, longer to endure,
Called mirth to ease his ceaseless dole,
Yet kept his nobler purpose sure.
Lo, as I gaze, the statured man,
Built up from yon large hand, appears:
A type that Nature wills to plan
But once in all a peoples years.
What better than this voiceless cast
To tell of such a one as he,
Since through it's living semblance passed
The thought that babe a race be free!
