LlNCOLN'S QUESTION. -

Of the famous Lincoln-Douglas de-
bates in Illinois My friends father
was Lincoln man. but the place in
which that particular debate took
place was Douglas stronghold.
douglas spoke first, and he was
frequently interrupted by veciferous
applause The cheering and the hand
clapping at the end lasted four or i've
minutes. When T.!lcoln We intro
duced the crowd broke out into cheers
for Douglas and kept 1t up for several
minutes. Lincoln meanwhile waited
patiently.
when at length the enthusiasm had
subsidized Lincoln extended his long
right arm for silence. When he had
partly got this he said in an impress
sive tone, what an orator Judge
Douglas isv
"Thls unexpected tribute to their
friend set the audience wild with en-
thusiasm.s When this applause had
run its course Lincoln. extending his
hand again. this time obtained silence
more easily.
"'What fine presence Judge Dou-
las hast exclaimed the speaker ear
nestly. Again tumultuous applause fol-
lowed the tribute.
"'How well rounded his sentences
are! How well chosen his language
is! How apt his illustrations are!
ending up with, What splendid man
Judge Douglas isp
"Then when the audience had again
become silent at his call Lincoln lean
ed forward and said:
"'And now, my countrymen, how
many Of you can tell me one thing
Judge Douglas saidY
"AIy friend told me he searched his
own heart for an answer and found
none. Afterward he asked his father

Douglas had said. and the latter re-
membered practically nothing. But
