Lincoln's Memory

Judge Lands, of the Northern District
Court of Illinois, is fond OF telling this
anecdote of Lincoln:
In 1884, when Lincoln was candidate
for the Legislature, he called on a GER
tain farmer to ask for his support. H
found him in a bayfield, and was urging
his cause when the dinner bell sounded.
The farmer invited him to dinner, but
he declined politely, and added
IF you will let me have the scythe
while you are gone, will NOW round
the field couple of times.
When the farmer returned he round
three rows neatly moved. The scythe
lay against the gatepost, but Lincoln
had disappeared.
Nearly 80 years afterward the farmer
and his wife, now grown old, were at a
White House reception, and stood wait
ing in line to shake hands with the Presi-
dent.
When they got near aim in the line"
says Judge Lands, Lincoln saw them,
and calling an aid, toll him to take
| them 20 one OF the small parlors, where
he would see them as soon as he got
through the handshaking. Much sur
prised, the old couple were led away.
/ Presently Mr.. Lincoln came in and,
| greeting them with an out-stretched hand
and warm smile, called them by name.
+ DO you mean to say exclaimed the
farmer, that you remember me after all
| these years"
! certainly do said the President,
and he went on to recall the day he had
| moved round the farmers timothy field
Yes, that s So said the old man
still in establishment. I found the field
moved and the scythe leaning up against
