May 80, 1861-President Lincoln Was Living Simply and
Working Hard the Only Calm Man Among Excited
ThongS-A Glimpse of His Daily Life in the White House

Fifty years ago today Abraham Lin
coin. president of the United States, was
living in the White House a simple. un-
ostentatious life. with more hours of la
Dor to each day than the hardest-work-
ed clerk in Washington
In one respect it was the happiest
time in his presidency. Since the firing
on Sumter he had been freed from the
rush of office-seekers who had so har-
raised his first weeks in the White
House. while the horrors of real war,
the long daily tale of dead and wound
ed. had not yet come to bring into his
eyes lat expression of deep sorrow
that afterward was never absent from
them.
Though he felt keenl ythe responsible
titles of his position. though he could see
beyond the glitter and parade of the
camps about Washington the din and
carnage of war, he could still appear to
cast off some of his load of care.
He was getting into the routine Of
work. too. and he could feel his way
about now without cropping. 1t was a
period Of transition; a new man was
coming into being. man the north

White House on the south side, with a

altered since the presidency Of Andrew
Jackson, "Old Hickory's" favorite arm

meetings, and between the windows was
another table at which the president sat
and wrote. A tall desk with pigeon
holes for papers, a few odd chairs and
two plain hair covered sofas completed
the furnishings.
The only books always TO be found
there were the Bible, the Federal stas-
utes and copy of Shakespeare; but vol
umes of military history treatises on
the art of war and the like from variou'
libraries continually came and went.
There were also two or three map
frames from which hung military maps
on which the movements of the armies
the location of each force could be tyao
ed and marked and in the course of
time also folios of maps were leaned
against the walls or hidden behind tho
sofas.
