A certain doctor, who is, on his own

the case, which the doctor. with grim
appreciation, preserved.

Strong hopes were entertained OF

LINC0LN'S ARMCHAIR.
II Had Ono Great Charm Despite Its
Forlorn Condition.


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 seven
~ years ago, and Lincoln never got
over it,
Very fond of the ease he found in old
slippers, he would often meet his Off
cial family with them on his feet and
during cabinet meetings he would
sometimes sit with one or both legs
dangling across the chair. gti .9g
In the cabinet room was an arm
chair which from the constant batter
ing of the presidential legs had grown
weak and seemed almost ready to
shake to bits A few days aftcr LIN
coins second Inauguration there was
cabinet meeting, and one of the cabia
net ministers noticed the old chair and
remarked on its rickety appearance
ut seems 10 me" he said rs he gazeil
down on the old wreck TINT stood at
the head of the table, that the United
States ought TO furnish the president
with better chair than that"
Lincoln screwed up his face into q
comical smile.
What Is the matter with that chair?"
he asked. Shabby as it is, there are
thousands of men in this country who
would be delighted to occupy it,
