and by her own g~entleness and cour-
age instilled in him a chivalry toward
women, that became part Of his nature.

One can imagine the long evenings in
the Indiana cabin, to which they
moved when Abraham was four years
Old, when the days chores were finished
and the little child of the hungry eyes
and awkward frame sat hugging his
knees, listening to lines from the pre-
ceptor, or the fables, or the little old
worn Bible Lincoln never forget those
early lessons.
And then-she died. One day she
called Abe and his sister to her bed
side. Joined their hands and said: BE
good to one another and the burden
rolled from the tired shoulders.
Long years after, on the day of the
funeral of his son Willie, Lincoln asked
the nurse and some friends to pray for
him. He spoke of his lack of the chilli

to others.
Then his mind reverted to his mother
and the great simple belief that helped
so much to make her days bearable. II

Sweet Woman's Teachings Made

a CENTURY ago today, in a rude

born an infant who was to be-
come the greatest man his country ever
Knew. The sight that met his baby
eyes was enough to discourage any
little soul that had just come from the
infinite, hardly had time to put the
visions of his previous existence be-
hind him.
-Four walls he saw fashioned OF
rough logs, joined one on the other,

come to be filed and another body to
be clothed.
All these things the little newcomer
observed, for babies are wise. so they
say, with the wisdom of other worlds,
that goes from them as they become
better acquainted with this poor sub
stitute. That is why we so often sur
prise the dreamy, PARKWAY, sometimes
decidedly sarcastic expressions on their
infantile co%untenances.
Who knows but what when a babv

Indignation at the fates that landed
him on this undesirable planet. and
who can tell the cause of the little
smile that hovers round his lips when
he's asleep? They're wonderful, Won

know how TO clasp their chubby fingers
round our hearts the very minute their
pudgy little -countenances come within
our line of vision.
Nancy Hanks wept, thai February
day, as she looked from the rude in
terror of her home to the little bundle
at her side. She prayed for mercy as
she caught sight of the half-clothed
little girl, sister of the little bundle,
playing on the floor. The little bundle
stirred, bowling a last protest lat his
vanishing friends in the other world,
and as she drew him to her love en-
tered her heart. Once more her bur-
dens were shouldered and she was the
all-enduring pioneer woman, ready to
fight hand to hand with poverty and
encouragement, with hope so faint
that it hardly seemed worth fostering.

WOODROW WILSON
IN LINCOLN TRIBUTE
At CHICAGO FETE
Princeton President Delivers
Principal Address in Home
State of Emancipation,
WINDY CITY A MASS OF
FLAGS AND DECORATIONS
"GOd Send Us Another Lincoln"
Says Educator in C0nclud=
ing His Address.

CHICAGO, Feb. FIFTY public
meetings. a city fairly buried beneath
flags, bunting and portraits of Abraham
Lincoln, show-windows filled with Civil
War relics and Lincoln mementoes, and
streets crowded with marchers and mill
tary bands-this is the spectacle which
Chicago presented today in the cele-
bration of the Tooth anniversary of the
birth of President Lincoln. The Fed
eral, county and municipal departments
and many branches of business were
closed to max the holiday a proper
climax to Lincoln centennial week.
At the principal demonstration of the
day, held in the auditorium, the orator
was Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton University. This was fol-
lowed by the firing of a presidential
salute by civil war veterans at a spot
near Lincoln monument in Lincoln
Park. A feature of another meeting
was the arrangement of members of a
chorus to represent a gigantic Ameri-
can flag.
In part President Wilson said:
IT was a very full century that mas gone
by since Abraham Lincoln was born, a cen
fury crowded for all the world. but particu-
larry for America, with significant events
which men could never turn back from nor
forget. And Lincoln seems for US the epit-
ONE of much that It contained. The ninth
teenth century hurried the world forward
with giant strides. and that far year lSoy.
which day, almost at its beginning; saw
many a man of genius born into the world
who was to add lustre to its annals: Alfred
Tebnyson, our own Poe, Chopin, Mendels-
sohn, Charles Darwin. Gladstone, Lincoln.
Every sother man OF that great roll had
some characteristic gift of his own the
music and Interpretation of perfect speech,
Or of the perfect harnonies OF voice or M
of nature. But the man Lincoln had no
special gift. He was of general use. He
was like some great instrument of human
ity.
He seemed slow Of development, waited
upon circumstances to quicken him, but al
ways responded upon whatever scale the
challenge came. There was something nat

obey should arise again to renew. the intes-
iity and development of the nation, can be
derived and matured only from the common
stock, only from the stock which no par
ticular experience has specialized and no
particular interest set apart. Lincoln was
in the profoundest sense a man OF the
people.
! A great nation is led. not by the men
who merely speak what it speaks every day
at the street corners and in the columns OF
it's newspapers. but by the men who lend to
these things new light and Interpretation
These are men who have come, indeed. out
from among the people, but who have been
elevated to a plane of vision to which the
people can themselves come only as they
show them the way. And as Lincol1
brought new things NO consciousness as he
moved among his fellows and spoke to them.
as Webster did, when, in his reply TO
Hayne, he formulated what many men had
CROPPED after. but no man had yet adequate
ly expressed.
A man of the people is a man who sees
as the people sees. and not as the man of q
class or a profession sees. He thinks. not
IN the terms OF any particular interest. but
He is n man diseugaged from his environ
ment, free to move In whatever direction
his nature hmpels him, unsubdued by the
stuff OF the life he lives in. seeing not one
thing, but many things. lending an ear to
many voices and needing them, not as if
they were the discorded voices of a mob,
OF a chorus; a man to whom they are all
familiar voices conveying many meanings
which are really only one.
W Need 81 Lincoln Now.
God send us such men again, We are
confused by a war of interests, a clash Of
classes, a competition of powers an effort
at conquest and restraint, and the great
forces which war and toll amongst us can
be guided and reconciled only by some man
who is truly a man of the people, as Lin
coin was, not caught in the tolls of men,
familiar with many aspects of life, and led,
through many changes. to a personal ex-
p%erience which unites him with the common
mass. He must not be too hot or intense.
must be large and genial and sailed with
humor. but as certain and definite as the
ver.est tool of~precision in his penetration
and in his exposition Of all that he sees and
Knows, a man who speaks as fearlessly as
he looks upon the affairs about him. and
who never withholds himself from any use
or declines the challenge of any call of duty,
a man of universal sympathy and universal
use, whom rev men call approach in power
but to whom all men can feel akin and with
whom all men can dare to be familiar.
