which Mr.. Lincoln was nominated

taken at the request Of Mr.. Medill Of
Chicago, for campaign purposes. Ho
said further that when Mr.. Lincoln
went In TO the photographers to sit
for the picture he had Just come from
the BARRIERS, and his hair was plaster
ed smoothly down upon his forehead,
but that happening to catch sight OF
himself in a glass, Mr.. Lincoln re-
marked that no one would know him
with his hair 30 smooth as that, and
ran his hands through 1t, giving 1t the
disheveled appearance OF the por-
trait.
He said further that In making the
enlargement for the Autograph the
portrait was somewhat idealized, and
much OF the natural ruggedness Of
Mr.. Lincoln's features were smooth
ed out.
Whether this man was correct In
his belief as to the origin Of the por.
trait, It is undoubtedly true that It Is
considerably localized. as viii be seen

Lincoln did at the time he made his
speech at Quincy, in the course Of the

Purchasers and sellers of small homes
often grumble at what they term excess
sive charges of real estate agents, but if
they knew the trouble incidental to the
sale of piece of property they would not
complain, says the Jamison Magazine.
No other line of business is SO exact ng
as the transfer of real estate. Sometimes
weary weeks are spent to bring the pur-
chaser and Sc Ter together. and then at
the final moment something occurs to up
set the deal, and the patient agent has
nothing to show for his abor.
There is nearly always vast chasm be-
tween the price of the man who wants to
SELL and that which the purchaser wants
to pay, and skill and adroitness are neces-
