which had been the main issue in the
great battle which Lincoln had fought
with Stephen A. Douglas, the year be-
fore. More came out on this fascinat-
ing subject after the speaking exercises
We're Over n the barbecue side of the
celebration with its jovial noise and
free chat ruled the roast.
"Abe"-thus was Mr.. Lincoln adj
dressed by some OF the group among
whom the writer was standing-said
one of them, II wish you had told us
more about that Freeport speech Of
yours last year." The readers of to-
day may be reminded that in that
speech Mr.. Lincoln put the query to
his brilliant antagonist, the answer to
which proved in its effect to have had
as much TO do in precipitating the civil
war as did the John Brown raid. The
Lincoln question was whether on the
popular sovereignty" theory h legal
possession of slaves in q territory
could be averted by any possible
means. His friends adjured him not
to put that proposition; hat if Doug
las answered it to the satisfaction of
Illinois audiences, he would be re-
elected to the Senate and Lincoln de-
feated in his effort to obtain h prize.
Mr.. Lincoln insisted and flung out that
challenge. He justified it on the
ground that the answer might cur
the senatorship; but that almost GER
tainly it would defeat the candidacy
of Douglas for the presidency at the
next general democratic convention,
and that that was by far the more
important object. The fertile mind of
Douglas had at once found a solution.
Whatever the theory and conditions of
territorial government, the police pow
err of that government could meet any
exigency, vas the marrow of his
answer.

went on, for believing that 0 had

forethought, she wen went so far as
to map out q special list of studies
that she could cover in two years. Tho
plan was tentative al that time, but
since then an unexpected factor made
it's appearance to urge upon Miss Taft
q return home. The new turn OF af-
fairs arose through the nervous attack
suffered by Mrs. Taft a few months
which has kept her a partial invalid
since that time. With her health thus
impaired she naturally longed moro
than ever for the presence at home Of

TWO ANECDOTES OF LINCOLN.
A Story Told in Old Wyandotts-Reply
to Rival Candidate.

to Rival Candidate.
Recorded by David Morgan Edgerton In
the Century.
In June, 1887, at a dinner given by
David M. Edgerton, formerly presidcn.
Of the Kansas tactic railroad. al
Wyandotte, Kan, John p. Usher sec-
rotary OF the interior under Lincolns
said:
when the war broke out, / knew
that the railroad from Baltimore to
Harrisburg, the Northern Central OF
Harrisburg and Northern Central OF
Pennsylvania, was bound to be good
property, for soldiers and people de-
voted to the preservation of THE union
travelling to washington would neces-
sarily be transported over II. The
stock was then worth only a few cents
on the dollar. I knew that from the
necessity of the case 1t would advance
in value to par or nearly so. l bought
large blocks of it, and told Mr.. Lincoln
that IL he would give me 100000 j
would make him all the money he
wanted
Beng asked If Mr.. Lincoln was in
clined to do it, Mr.. Usher said no. Hs
himself considered the investment
proper, but evidently Lincoln thought
otherwise.
Another arecdote related by Mr..
Usher ran as follows:
while yet a young lawyer, Mr.. Linz
coin C0nctGdCd 70 run Tor the state E
islature, and In those days anyone who
desired TO run for Office had only &c
announce himself a candidate in the
papers or at a public meeting. Mr.
Lincoln rode to an adjoining town.
where a political meeting was to be
held.
las he rode along the street. his att
tention was attracted to a new house
more pretentions than its neighbors
Erected upon the roof he noticed point
ed iron rods. At the tavern he inquired
their purpose, and learned that they
were lightning rods.
"At the meeting he found the person
then speaking to be the owner OF this
house and his rival. The latter made sc.
much sport OF Mr.. Lincoln that Lin.
coins friends became discouraged and
detected. But a. the meeting s@as
about to break UP, Mr., Lincoln rose and
said thai he would like to say q few
words. 5
Beginning modestly. he soon
gagged ana held attention, until. as ha
concluded, he added: My friends, /
am q young a and whether / shall
live a few years or amy I do not know
but I hope that while l do live / shall
so conduct myself that 1T will not be
necessary for me TO put d lightning rod
on my house to save me from the ven
geance of Almighty Cod He had
struck the key note, and he was carried
from the meeting BY his friends. and

and the deem sea" "Recanse" said
he. the slave democracy next year
will have no use for a candidate who
dares to carry water on both should
ers, and the party will be rent to the
bottom, as the northern fragment will
accepted M other man but Douglas"
With that he abruptly changed the
subject. and no n ventured 10 press
it further. With all his free and ia
miliar geniality there was that in Lin
coin which at once imposed silence
and Difference when he chose. Such,
in substance, are the main incidents
which the writer recalls.
The frTnness and resolution that lay
under the tender sympathies and kind
ness of MIR. Lincoln's temperament
were a~bundantly illustrated during
that wonderful four years which made
him such a salient figure in modern
history. Such a characteristic can be
displayed in triies as well as in crit
zeal affairs. 1t is such a trife that
came authenticity within the writer's
ken. 1t had indeed more quality in its
revelation than many incidents touch
ing big events. 1t was the experience
of a near relative, who had official
business at the White House in 1861.
He had been appointed by the gov
ernor of his state TO act as it's legal
representative in Strengthening out a
4 Vel tam ldllSit, IGldIlIlR 10 the state
! apportionment of troops under the
CONSUMPTION of that year. There had
been much correspondence with the
war department, in which the imper-
ious temper of Secretary Stanton, who
always tended TO ride rough shod over
all opposition, and who resented what
seemed to be the slightest interference
with his will, had been almost insol-
emily displayed. He had absolutely
refused TO permit any adjudication or
compromise OF the issue; refused
even to discuss Il. Governor
Buckfngham's instructions to his
commissioners were TO refer the Whole
question directly to the president. Mr..
Lincoln's strong sense Of equity was
widely recognized. 1t was also believed
that no man in the cabinet had so much
influence over his chief as the great
war minister, and Ii was with some
misgiving that the two Impressions
were balanced in the scales. The truth
seems to have been. as shown by all the
memoirs OF the war period. that Dresi-
dent Lincoln saw in Stanton the man OF
men in a most onerous position to do
things, and to get them done by others:
a man. who had no patience with fall

TO the human din.
When Mr.. Lincoln ~upheaved his
awkward length from the chair where
he sat coiled Up, it was with a tense
and active spring and q face beaming
with smiles which TRANSPORTED it.
Through the general clamor hundreds
of voices cried "Howdy-Abe" with a
more specialized welcome. The speak
er's voice at the outset was q shrill
falsetto, that cut like a knife; but after
talking a few minutes-for indeed ii
was rather an informal talk than an or
ation-it steadied into a strident, COM
polling tone that, never ceasing to be a
little harsh, obsessed attention and
transmitted ~dissonanCe into a more sub
tile music. One could wish to have re-
membered and quoted, for the address
bristled with homely epigrams and tel
ling stories. But a half century OBJ
literates detail in such matters, and
only two little episodes stand out clear.
Though the speech was largely non
political, addressed to familiar every day
interests as they had grown out of the
evolution of the nation for th~ree-quart-
ers of a century, he made some preg-
.nant illusions to Senator Douglas, many
