honest person, for an autograph Of
Lincoln always commands q big
enough price to prove tempting. and
the autograph Of Lincoln's signature
attached to his emancipation procla-
nation is particularly clear and char
actertistic.
The issuance OF Lincoln's enamel
patton proclamation was, of course.
one OF the most important events of
his entire administration and the cir
cumstances of the submission of this
document for the approval of his cabi-
net are. as history relates them,
among the most dramatic of the en-
tire war period. AS the story goes.
Lincoln. on this occasion. sent word
to the members of his cabinet that he
wished to see them. Secretary Chase.
the first member to arrive at the
White House. found Lincoln reading a
book. Chase. did you ever read this
book" inquired the president "What
book is it?" asked Chase. "Artemus
Ward" rejoined Lincoln. "and Just let
me read you this chapter on Wax
Wurx In Albany" He launched into
the amusing volume and read on and
on as one after another OF the cabinet
members Joined the circle. Finally, as
there appeared to be no prospect of
the president concluding. several OF
the members began to fidget and I'm
ally Mr.. Stanton intimated rather
testify that he had work to do and
that IL the object In calling the meet
Ing had been to transact any business
he would like to have the business
presented at once so that he could re-
turn to his Office. Thereupon Lincoln
laid down the open book. opened
drawer, took out n paper that proved
to be the emancipation proclamation
and prepared to read It to his official
family. But before beginning on the
contents he looked up for n moment
and said: Gentlemen. ! have called
you together to notify you what
have determined to do. I want no
advice. Nothing can change my mind"
After tho reading the members fled
out In silence. but one. looking back.
saw that Lincoln had resumed the per-
usal Of Artemus Ward.
For all that Lincoln seemed thus to
take SO lightly the significance OF this
edict there is abun-
dant evidence that in reality not only
the consequences but the act itself |
held large place In his mind. both then
and later. The artist. Carpenter. who /

OF staying the ravages Of time. the
secretary Of state has had the docu-
