He was not ir1sensible to feminine
charms.
charms.

all his heart attacks came before mar.
rage, which is not invariably the case
in these days of affinities and divorce
courts.
There must be no mistake made in
one regard. Abraham Lincoln was a
society man. In Springfield his name
was ON most of the committees that
got up functions, and he was a well
come guest at all houses. The same
was true in Washington the two years
he served in congress. While he was
not exactly a ladies' man for the rea-
son that he was forever telling stories
and so got all the men around him, he
was not insensible to feminine charms
and was as ready TO fall in love as any
young man with strong passions and
an eye for beauty.
This seems so much matter of
course that it is strange Mr.. Lincoln's
biographers should dwell on it at such
length. It is on a par with referring
SO constantly to his height, to his
LONELINESS and to the fact that he
told broad stories. 1t is as though we
should say that Abraham Lincoln is
chiefly noted for his uglinesS, his love
affairs, his risque anecdotes and his
great length and not that he is cele-
brated for liberating a race, for saving
a nation, for being merciful, demo-
cratic, truth loving and white of soul.
In other words, we put forward his
nOnessentials at the expense OF his es-
sentials. We emphasize those things
in which he was not distinguished
from his kind to the exclusion of those
things in which he was so distin-
guished. Other men have had love af-
fairs not essentially different from
those of Lincoln; others have been as
ugly or as tall, and others have told
as many stories, but nobody else ever
issued an emancipation proclamation;
no one else ever held together the
worlds greatest republic in the hour
of her supreme trial; no one else, with
one exception, ever combined such
meekness and greatness. and few 9TH
ers have been more tender hearted.

bly, he had ten fingers, two ears and
the usual number of bones found In
the human body. But why obtrude
these facts? Tom Smith and Jim Jen-
kins are equally endowed in this re-
gard. There are a billion and q half
of human entities now living, nearly all
with ten fingers, two ears and the full
complement Of bones. Most Of them
likewise have had love affairs or will
have them when they arrive at the
susceptible age; most of them old
enough to talk at all have told stories
or have tried to do SO; most of them
are plain of face, especially If they
are of the male gender, and all of
them have linear dimensions of some
sort or other. Yet there is not a sim
gle Abraham Lincoln in the whole
billion and a half. Why spend so
much time on describing a mans hair

rather, is a soul, so supremely worth
study?

| life OF any man are beautiful and are
cherished according to the degree of
his development. With a man of Lin
coins tender heart and sensibilities
such things would be sacred and holy,
not to be profaned by light references
or prying eyes. A mans public life
belongs to the public. His private and
domestic affairs are his own. The
mere fact that one is prominent does
not make him the legitimate prey of
the merely curious. Many great men
have had unhappy home lives. Poor
Lincoln was none too fortunate In this
regard. But he is at least entitled to
respect, even though he was denied
his full measure of happiness. Such
respect would shield him from a pry-
ing scrutiny after death that would
never have been given his affairs dur
ing life. With all due respect to
Messrs. Lamon and Herndon, who,
having been his law partners, should
have been his devoted friends. it must
be said that they have dragged his
purely private affairs to light in very
tactless if not an indicate manner.
Moreover, many of their conclusions
rejecting on his parents and some re-
garding his wife have been shown by
thorough investigation to be untrue.
For example, Herndon says that Lin
coin absented himself on his wedding
night. AS careful biographer as Ida
NJ. Tarbell denies this and gives the
word of numerous personal friends OF
both Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln to prove
her statement. In the same manner
several Of Herndon's allegations con-
corning Thomas, and Nancy Hanks
Lincoln have been proved untrue by
the actual records brought to light
The simple facts are that Lincoln's
parents, his early life. his education,
his courtships and his domestic life
were about such as fall to the lot or
the average man born, reared and Nv
ing his adult life in a similar environ
ment. His stories were about such as
were told by other frontiersmen, law
yers and politicians in his day, .~eAEs
