substitute who served as
a defender of the Union
through the bloody and
epoch-making period Of
the Civil war. This asser-

Now, for the first time, evidence is
here presented that the story of Lin

in the unassailable shape of an official
acknowledgment from the federal gov

The exemption Of the president of
the United States from the taking up
Of arms, or serving on an actual field
of battle, is provided for by a special
statute drawn up to meet such con
tingency. But there is nothing to
prevent the nations chief executive
from sending forth a substitute 10
fight in his place, although Lincoln
was the only occupant of the White
House who ever took advantage OF
this fact. The man who represented
in his person that of the martyred
president was John Summerfield Ste
pies, whose body now lies at rest in
a little cemetery at Stroudsburg, Pa.
The tombstone above his grave, pho
tograph of which is here reproduced,
testifies not only to Staples war

the fact of his having served as Abra-
ham Lincolns substitute. The inscrip-
ton in question reads as follows:
