Dealers were not inclined to purchase
Wenatchee apples at the prices quot

them and the prices seemed extreme

WHY LINCOLN GREW A BEARD
Amusing and Pretty Little Story of .
Wee Miss Who First Suggested
1t to Him,

There are thousands of authentic
portraits and pictures of Abraham
Lincoln in existence today When he
was a young lawyer in Illinois, rid
ing the circuit in the country dis
tricts of that state, he was photo
graphed by local photogra piers hun
dreds of times, and gradually. as he
became famous in politics, his picture
was taken many more times by expe-
rienced and skillful photogra aphers in
the larger cities, each one of them at
tempting to excel the other in the
best likeness, of the man who was
occupying so much attention through
out America and Europe, says q writer
in Pittsburg Dispatch. Naturally, too,
during mis- administration, and as a
successful close, he was not only
snapped, but caricatured at every pos
sible phase-from the sublime to the
ridiculous.
During Lincoln's presidential cam
paign he received letter from a GER

CAPTURE SMALL GRlST MILL

Make Raid and Bag Lot Of
Rebels and Horses,

Our three years service expired
Aug. 8, 1864, and on the 18th Lieut.
Groves, in command of IA men of Co.
A and IL of Co B, 7th Mo Cav, left
Pine Bluffs. Ark, at daylight on a
secret march of 80 miles south to a
grist mill, which Gen. Clayton was
anxious to know whether the rebels
were operating. We were guided by
Columbus Mari, who lived in the
neighorhood of the mill He was loyal
and brave.
About noon we stopped back of a
field, where the guides mother, a wild
ow, lived, and about three miles from
the mill. AS soon as our horses were
rested we started for the mill through
the timber. We had not gone far until
we could hear the throbbing of the en-
gine, writes w. H. Craven, sergeant
Co A. 7th Mo. Cav, of Milton, Iowa,
in National Tribune. We went within
80 rods of the mill, when the lieuten-
ant concealed the command in a
thicket and gave us orders to remain
quiet until his return. He and the
guide left
In about an hour they returned, hav
ing gone inside the rebel camp to a
house which was not more than 200
yards from the mill, occupied by a
Union family. AS our guide was per
sonally acquainted with the family and
knew he could trust them, he had one
of the girls go to the mill under the
ruse of having some milling done, and
get all the information she could in re-
gard to the location of their camp and
the number of soldiers there, which
she did.
The lieutenant called us around him
and said: Gen. Clayton sent me to
find out whether or not the rebels
were running the mill, which they are

and 80 on scout between here and
Pine Bluffs, and have started since
noon. Two miles south of the mill is
their main camp, occupied by 1900
infantry and cavalry, with two sec
tions of artillery. I have fulfilled my
mission It is up to you If we go any
farther"
A tall, lank fellow by the name of
Nichols Strengthened himself up, and
said: Lieutenant, we don't want to
use ourselves up like we did today
without getting one shot. "All right"
said the lieutenant; mount your
horses"
We were now about 80 rods north
east of the mill, and their camp was
300 southwest. We made a circuit un-
til we were almost west of their camp
and about 200 yards from it, when we
halted, and the lieutenant told Sergt
Smith of Co. B, to take IL men of his
company and charge the camp, and he
would take the IA from Co. A and
charge the mill, and gave me orders
to take those left of Co. A and not
come into the mill yard until all of the
men were in.
The rebels were surprised, and did
not discover our presence until Sergt

Smith with his squad rode into their
camp, and demanded their surrender
and opened fire on them. Those that
did not surrender took to the woods
and left their horses. and those run

the commotion was. only to find the

frankly the opinion that she thought
he would look much nicer with "whis-
kers" The child's naive simplicity
evidently appealed to him, for he at
once began to cultivate" them
Several years after Mr.. Lincoln s
death, the incident, by many people
considered myth, became known in
detail, and was found to have an ex-
ceedingly substantial basis. The lit.
tie girl in question was Grace Bedell,
who lived in Westfield, ChautauQua
County, New York Her father, who
was a stanch Republican, was great
admirer of his party's choice for pres
ident in 1860, and one day carried a
big campaign poster home with him
On the poster was picture of Lin
coin and Hamlin, around whose faces
was an appropriate border of rail
fences. Little Grace examined the
picture carefully, and then exclaimed:
"Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good
looking if he had whiskers like you,
papa" a"-over which opinion the family
had a hearty laugh
But the child was mortified at their
mirth and at the fact that her remark
was in dead earnest about the matter.
In the privacy of her room she deter
mined to write to Mr.. Lincoln herself
feeling sure that he would not mis-
understand her, even though her own
family had.
Imagine her astonishment, when, in
the latter part of October, a letter
came to the village postof1ce for
Grace Bedell, with signature which
said, Your very sincere well-wisher,
A Lincoln" The letter was as fol
lows:

never having worn any. do you not
think people would call it a piece of
silly affection If l began wearing them
now?
Your very sincere well-wisher.
A. LINCOLN.
The letter didn't exactly promise he
would follow her suggestion, but ap-
parently he took it to heart and acted
on it shortly afterward. He evidently
kept the girl in mind all the time. too.
for when he arrived in Westfield on
his campaign tour he asked from the
platform whether there was a small
miss in the audience named Grace
Bedell When the surprised girl was
brought forward Mr. Lincoln climbed
down off the platform, took her up
in his arms and, kissing her, said:
You see, Grace, I've let my whis-
kers grow for you"
And thus it has gone down in history
that it was on account of a child's re-
quest that Mr. Lincoln grew whis-
