Lincoln's Armchair.

There is an interesting story OF
Abraham Lincoln's quaint humor
that turns on his habit of sitting
With his long legs thrown over one
arm of his chair. That was habit
common among country lawyers
sixty or seventy years ago, and Lin
coin never got over it,
Very fond of the ease he found in
old slippers, he would often meet
bis official family with them on his
feet, and during cabinet meetings
he would sometimes sit with one
or both legs dangling across the
chair.
In the cabinet room was an arm
chair. which from the constant bat
tering of the presidential legs had
grown weak, and seemed almost
ready to shake 10 bits. A few days
after Lincoln's second Inauguration
there was a cabinet meeting, and one
of the cabinet ministers noticed the
old chair and remarked on its rick
ETY. appearance.
lit seems 10 me-" he said. as he
gazed down on the old wreck that
stood at the head of tho table,
that the United States ought to fur
nish the president with a better chair
than that
Lincoln screwed up his face into 2
a eomical smile.
What is the matter with that
ehair?" he asked. shabby as ii is.

country who would be delighted to
occupy it."-Youth's Companion.
