taken soon after the convention at
which Mr.. Lincoln was nominated,
and that the original photograph was
taken at the request of Mr. Medlll OF
Chicago, for campaign purposes. He
said further that when Mr.. Lincoln
went in to the photographer 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 so smooth as that. and
ran his hands through it, giving 1t the
disheveled appearance Of the por-
trait.
He said further that in making the
enlargement for the lithograph 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 idealiZed, as will be seen
from the copy, the portrait, while re-
tanning the essential features which
are so well known, nevertheless max
ing him a far handsomer man than
he is currently reported to have been.
And yet Mrs. Read, who has seen
him often as a young man always
said that it was an excellent like
ness, and that it looked just as Mr..
Lincoln did at the time he made his
speech at Quincy, in the course Of the
famous debates with Stephan A Doug
las on October IS, 1858.

terms that the United States is the
owner of the Panama canal. and has
the right to annex such conditions as
