one of the two or three greatest men OF
the nineteenth century; of one of the
rail splitter, this hoy who passed his un-
calmly youth in the dire poverty Of the

| was by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people through the burning
flames of struggle from which the ma
ton emerged, purified as by fire. born
| anew to a loftier life. After long years
| of iron effort. and of failure that came
1 more often than victory, he at last rose
to the leadership of the republic at the
| moment when that leadership had become
| the stupendous worldAtask of the time.
| He grew to know greatness, but never
ease. Success came to him, but never
! happiness, save that which springs from
doing well painful and a vital task.
Power was his. but not pleasure. The
| burrows decpened on his brow, but his
| eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed,
but his steel thews never faltered as he
bore for burden the destinies of his
| people. His great and tender heart
shrank from giving pain; and the task
| allotted him was to pour out like water
the life-blood of the young men, and to
| feel in his every fiber the sorrow of the
women. Disaster saddened but never dis

| went by they found him ever doing his
| duty In the present, even facing the fu-
ture with fearless front. high of heart.
and dauntless of soul. Unbroken by ha-
tired, mistaken by scorn, he worked and
suffered for the people. Triumph was his
at the last; and barely had he tasted II
