Two Stories
Of Lincoln
Sidelights on This
Wondrous Man.

Il have read several Lincoln ami
versary speeches." said Mr.. Charles
Frederick, "and have been struck with
the statement contained in some of
them TO the effect that Mr.. Lincoln sell
dom got mad and that when he did get
mad he did not allow himself to get
very mad. If these speakers spoke
from their personal experience. 1t is all
right but my personal experience with
him one night satisfied me he could get
up a terribly good sized ease of mad
mt times.
Il was n boy ut the time and was a
messenger for the old American Tele-
graph company. which In after years
was absorbed by the present Western
Union Telegraph. For several days
there had been number of kilograms
for the president from army officers,
and among them remember two or
three from General Mcclellan. don't
remember now why they did not come
over the military telegraph lines. Well,
one night | started over to the White
House with telegram that | knew
came from General Mcclellan. 1t was
for the president
IN those days there was always u
guard of soldiers stationed ut the two
avenue gates. as also at the other
gates. but messenger boys We're gener-
ally well known, and they were admit.
ted day or night without any question,
at Least to the front door, where an-
other soldier guard was also stationed.
4Eerc was always an officer about the
door, who receipted for kilograms.
This night, however, ! saw Mr.. Lin
C.!l coming toward the outer gate, and
thought | would personally hand him
the telegram, which | did. He smiled
pleasantly enough as he opened it, but
change suddenly came over him.
Have you the other telegramsF he
demanded of me. replied that had
but the one, though | informed him
that knew there had been one or two
others that day from General McClel-
| Ian.
"'That is what he says added tho
president, and what annoys me Is that
| have not received them
Then, turning to the sentry, he said
Send up TO the door for the officer IN
charge and tell him that when tele
grams come here addressed TO me they
should and must be delivered TO me
Tell him Also aud by this time the
| president was very mad, that If hC
sends any more of my kilograms over
to Mr.. Stantons house I'll drive hin
away from here. Mr.. Stanton has
enough kilograms of his own and
should not have mine
Though | was but Il boy" said Mr.
| Frederick, Il could see that Mr.. Lin
coin was mad all the way through ant
| that for the moment, at least, he wa
! dlspleased with his war minister, Sec
rotary Stanton. and that he intended
exactly what he said. The president

OF young birds were left over from last
season and that they stood the winter we'll
