ALWAYS HAD SUPERB FAITH.
An Incident, Hitherto Unrecorded, Of
Lincoln's Trust.

As illustrative Of Mr.. Lincoln's SUI
perb faith, l will give an instance that

writer in the Century Magazine. In
the largest room in the White House.
on the second floor. were gathered
number of officers Of the army. then OF
prominence by reason of the COM
mands that they held in the field;
many civilians who held no Offices, but
who had come from the north to see
Washington and pay their respects to
Mr.. Lincoln, and perhaps get contracts
essential to running the government;
and few members OF congress.
At first 1t appeared more like a
large reception. where after shaking
hands. people stayed to chat with one
another. Not far from Mr.. Lincoln a
prominent senator, whom we may call
Senator D.. in a strong. deep voice
remarked: Il believe that. If we could
only do right as people. the Lord
would help us and we should have a
decided success in this terrible strug-
pie Mr. Lincoln. hearing the remark
OF the senator, with his clear. shrili
enunciation, cried out: MY faith il
greater than yours
Everybody turned and looked at the
president, who was head and shoulders
above all those assembled. The sena-
tor who had spoken then said: How
SO, Mr.. Lfncoln."
4 am confident, said he. that God
win make us do sufaci,ntly right to
give ns the victory"

When ABE" was % years old he be-
came clerk in the store of Denton
Offutt, at New Salem, Ind. 1t was a
general store, and his employment
was various Presently he was made
postmaster, and carried letters flor

hundred). in his hat. and hungrily
read every one of their newspapers
before he let them go. He also found
employment as deputy county survey
or. He boarded at the tavern of one
James Rutledge. grandson of signer
OF the declaration, and there he met
and fell head over heels in love with
the beautiful, blue-eyed Ann Rutledge.
the 19-year-old daughter of mine host
the tavern keeper.
Ann Rutledge had been engaged to
a prosperous young farmer, John Nc
Neill by name, but John Mcneil had
heard the east a-callin'," and had
gone thither upon business bent, prom
Using to come back and reclaim her as
his bride. His letters, at first frequent
and ardent, became on-committal and
occasional, and finally there were no
more of Mr.. McNeilfs missives for
Postmaster Lincoln to hand to Ann
from the crown Of his hat She still
was faithful to McNeill's memory. For
a long time she would not listen to
word OF love from the newcomer But
it WAS the old story of first endure,
then pity. then embrace"
Abe likewise felt sorry for the
Tilted Ann, and longed to be able to
comfort her with his sympathy. They
were thrown together three times
day at meals. and presently she let
him sit with her on the steps, and that
led to long rambles through the coun-
try roundabout. When at last she was
convinced that Mcneil was never
coming back to her, Ann Rutledge
yielded to Lincoln's imprisoned plead
ing and agreed to become his wife.
She must have realized the promise
in him which others disbelieved or
deserted but dimly, for she felt her
need Of better education. that she
might be more suitable helpmeet for
him. So it was arranged that while
Abraham went to Springfield for the
legislative session and to study Law she
should go TO Jacksonville, Ill, and
spend the winter in an academy there
In the following spring they were to
be married

SONS and the roses were laid upon her
grave.
The doctors said Ann Rutledge died
of brain fever and doubtless they
were right. 1t may have been due to
her pathetic. eager desire to learn
enough to be the wife of the future
statesman that she saw in the over.

7 Lincoln was beside himself with
grief, and his friends feared suicide
He never was again quite the man OF
irrepressible buoyant spirits that he
was necessarily before Ann Rutledge
was taken from him
Il really loved that girl he once
said after he was president. and
often think OF her now, and I have
loved the name of Rutledge to this
day
A year or so later Lincoln became
involved in a singular embarrassment
AIgirl named Mary Owens came to
New Salem to visit her sister, Mrs
Able, and spent four weeks. Lincoln
met her, and liked her for her steady
and well-balanced character, her evil
dent domesticity, and, neither last nor
least, her prepossessing appearance
After she went he jestingly told Mrs.
Able that if she would bring her sis
ter back he would marry her. Mrs.
Able reported the conversation, and
Mary Owens accepted Lincoln's of
fer as being seriously intended
Lincoln was in a dreadful predica-
ment. Go back upon his word he
would not, even If 1t meant lifelong
misery fer him. Mary Owens was a
year older than he, and when he met
her again she seemed to have lost
most of her good looks. He wrote to
her. Il am afraid you would not be

This did not sound in Miss Owens
ears like the ardent protestation OF
true love. She wrote back and gave
him a piece of her mind, saying that
he was deficient in those little links
which go to make up a woman's hap

Lincoln, not little relieved. accept

When l was a little cpdger Tin the

a man broke down near us, and while
they were fixing up they cooked in our
kitchen. The woman had books and

several hours We came to a camp and
we found it was the one we had left

" " Patten lives to-day, and at
the age of SO years is as
spry as a youngster Grizzled, bronzed
and rudy from the winds and sun
shine of an outdoor life, Patten sailed
into the editorial rooms of the Call the
other day and his smile Illuminated
the whole place.
Old man Patten has come down from
Seattle on his way to New Orleans. He
is never happy unless he is migrating
like the wild goose. He was born at
Summer Hill, Cayuga county, n. Y, on
February "a, 1911. He is proud Of the
fact that he was Lncoln's workmate
in the old days on the farm.
Il first met Abe he said. when he
was living with his father. mother and
sisters on the farm, raising cattle and
general farm products. ] took up 100
acres adjoining and helped Abe with
the work in return for the loan Of his
horses for work on my place. We were
overrun with wild deer, geese and
brant, and ii was almost impossible to
raise anything. for these pests would
come in the night and clean up every
thing except the weeds. I lived with
old man Lincoln and slept with Abe
for long time. Well, 1 take that
back mean tried to sleep in Abe's
room. but had hard time OF 1t, for
Abe used to sit up nearly all night
reading books. He had a little round
tin pan with the side about three
inches high. This he filed with wild
goose Oil Then he stuck rag in the
oil and let one end hang over the edge.
When this rag was lighted IT made .
pretty good electric chandelier, and
how he would read.
What did he read, Why, every
thing in print that he could get hold
OF. The Bible, histories, story books,
any old thing that he could reach that
had print on it. Whew. how that old
rag used to stink, It used to keep me
awake half the time, and often won
dered how Abe was able to lose 70
much sleep 1t night and do SO much
work in the daytime.
Il stayed four years with them On
the ranch, and then the old man rent
