[Mr. Whitney was an intimate
friend of Lincoln from 1859 till the
latter's death. His Life on the Cir
cult With Lincoln" and "Lincoln's
Last Speech" are among his best
known works. He is lawyer by pro-
fession and has held several political
Offices Editor.]
On May II, 1855, Mr.. Lincoln and
l we're staying over night at Decatur,
and in the evening we walked out to
the public square, and when we had
{ reached particular spot, after veri-
flying it, he said, partly to himself
and partly to me, Here, on this ex-
act spot, twenty-six years ago, stood
alone by our wagon, which contained
all that my father and / owned in the
world" This incident, and his man
ner of viewing it, was typical and
symbolical of his entire career; for,
although his life was largely hedged
in by crowds and his career and des-
tiny wrought out in cooperation with
others, yet his essential self, the
thinking part, was passed in social
isolation.
When he had a difficult case to de-
yelop and mature he would be miss
ing; this was more especially true of
his life on the circuit, or when he de-
sired to make an extra effort he
would hide somewhere, and in
silence isolation and secrecy, by re-
Election and self-introspection mature
his plans. Nor would he have any
stated or especial place to conceal
himself; the unused Darkroom of
law Office, or an obscure corner of
clerks, treasurer's or sheriff's Office
--or lonely bedroom of some of the
travelling bar-the obscure streets Of
the village, or the. woods or country
roads; each and all were alike and
serviceable, and equally put in requi-
sition by him; and by lonely drill and
mental discipline, he would grasp
and comprehend the whole scope and
plan, and all essential details of the
case within the compass of his mind
in an orderly manner.
AS law student (if his sparse
efforts in that line may warrant such
designation), it was the same; he
would perch himself on top of
wood-pile in the shade, and, as the
sun intruded, would grind around
in the shade One day Russell God
by, an irreverant farmer (whom Lin
coin used to habitually help in hog
killing time) saw him on top of a
wood-pile. with book in his hand.
He was astonished at the spec

When the attendant heard chorus
of gibes all aimed at little Rosie, she
saw that the girl was wearing pair
of shoes of large size. Then the at

had a new pair of shoes, and the lit
