ing from dust and oil liable to fall
from the torches, had prepared capes
of black cambria, which they wore In
connection with the glazed caps COM
monty worn at the time.
Colonel George P. Bissell, who was
marshal, noticed the uniform, put the
wearers In front, where the novelty
of the rig and its double advantage
Of utility and show attracted. 1t was
proposed at once to form a campaign
club Of fifty torch bearers, with glazed
caps and oilcloth capes instead of cam
brio. A meeting to organize formally
was appointed March &, but before the
new uniforms were ready Abraham
Lincoln addressed meeting In Hart
ford on the evening Of March 8. After
his speech the cap wearers Of the pre-
vious meeting, with a number Of 9TH
ers who had secured their uniforms,
escorted Mr.. Lincoln to the hotel.
The club was definitely organized on
the following night. Just one year
thereafter this club attended the In
auguration of Lincoln in body. The
Wide Awakes were organized by both
political parties in later campaigns.

Lincoln In a
Historic Minute

In "Reminiscences of a Wartime
Statesman and Diplomat" Frederick
W. Seward, son Of Lincoln's secretary
of state, wrote;
Thursday, Jan. /, 1863, was marked
by an event that will always be men,
orable in history. Slaves in all the re-
gions remaining in rebellion were to be
on that day declared entitled to free
dom. The emancipation proclamation
had been duly prepared at the state de-
partment and was ready for President
Lincoln's signature.
"At noon, accompanying my father, l
carried the broad parchment In a large
portfolio under my arm. We, thread
ing our way through the throng In the
vicinity of the White House, went up
stairs to the presidents room, where
Mr.. Lincoln speedily Joined US. The
broad sheet was spread open before
him on the cabinet table Mr. Lincoln
dipped his pen in the ink and then,
holding 1t a moment above the sheet,
seemed to hesitate. Looking around,
he said;
81 never in my life felt more certain
that l was doing right than l do in
signing this paper. But l have been
receiving calls and shaking hands since
8 o'clock this morning till my arm is
stiff and numb. Now, this signature is
one that will be closely examined, and
If they find my hand trembled they
will say, He had some compunctions."
But anyway it is going to be done
80 saying he slowly and carefully
wrote his name at the bottom Of the
proclamation. The signature proved
to be unusually clear, bold and firm
even for him, and a laugh followed at
his apprehension. My father after ap-
pending his own name and causing the
great seal to be affixed had the impor-
tant document placed among the ar
chives. Copies were at once given to
the press"

A Tribute to Lincoln

A ND so they buried Lincoln?
"A Strange and vain!
Has any creature thought of
Lincoln hid
In any vault, meath any cOf-
fin lid,
In ali the years since that wild
spring of pain?
TITS false-he never in the
Il grave hath lain.
You could not bury him al
though you slid
Upon his clay the CheOps
pyramid
Or heaped it with the Rocky
mountain chain.
THEY slew themselves; they
Il but set Lincoln free.
In all the earth his great heart
beats as strong,
Shsii beat while pulses thrOb to
chiyalry
And burn with hate of tyranny
and wrong.
Whoever will may find him any
where
Save i'm the tomb-nOt there, he
Is not there.

Rsbu L<sd BY Lincoln.

DR.. Grenville NJ. Weeks of Newark,
n. j., who was wounded on the Mont
tor. went TO Washington to apply for
appointment on the medical staff of
the army. Secretary Stanton gave him
no encouragement.
DR.. Weeks heard that President Lin
coin was holding a reception and
crossed over TO the White House TO
pay his respects. AS he was about to
enter the room where Lincoln was
standing an officer gruffly told him TO
fall In at the end of the line
Lincoln overheard the order He re
called DR.. Weeks and, turning to the
officer, said:
Hereafter. whether the caller is an
officer or private, major, be a gentle
man." separating the syllables of the
last word and emphasizing the first
two.
Then. turning TO DIR. Weeks, the
president said:

place for you. however. II you can use

Lincoln wide
AWakes' of 1860

~ NE of the peculiar introductions
into the first Lincoln political
campaign was the Wide Awake
marching clubs, which, 1t has
been claimed went very far toward
winning for him the election. These
political marching bodies met with so
much success that the custom was con-
tinued for more than score Of years
thereafter, says the Philadelphia Press.
The uniform of the Wide Awakes
consisted of a cap and large cape of
enameled cloth, and each one carried
torch. The capes were Of variety OF
colors, and naturally a procession of
Wide Awakes was picturesque and
striking. Many of the clubs had Wide
Awakes' stamped upon the capes as
well as other insignia. The torch was
a small tin fount with a burner and
wick for kerosene fastened to a stick
about the size and length of a broom
stick. Toward the end Of this cam
palgn a few companies came out with
a swing torch.
The Wide Awakes were carefully
drilled by their captains, and many of
them on parades would go through In
tricate evolutions. These clubs were
organized all over the country, and II
an outlying town or village had pro-
cession or flag raising the clubs Of the
vicinity were supposed to turn out and
frequently marched several miles In
doing so. 1t has been estimated that
there were more than 100000 voters
In duly organized Wide Awake clubs.
Some historians have made the as
sertion that 1t was the Wide Awakes
that elected Lincoln, and this Is prob
ably not very far from the truth. The
movement seemed to be a spontaneous
outburst of the people from one end of
the north to the other. Every town,
village and city had its company Of
Wide Awakes, marching, drilling and
maneuvering.
The Wide Awakes organization grew
out of the first campaign meet
ing in Hartford, Conn, on Feb. 25,
1S6O-the state election campaign.
Hon Cassius NJ. Clay was the speak
er, and after the meeting was escorted
to the Allyn House by torchlight
parade. Two of the young men who
were to carry torches-D. G. Francis
and n. P. Blair being dry goods
clerks. in order to protect their cloth

Tha GettYsbura Speech.

Mr.. Lincoln was not the "orator of
the day" upon the occasion OF the
dedication of the soldiers cemetery at
Gettysburg. That honor belonged TO
Edward Everett, who fulfilled his du-
ties there by delivering one Of his
elaborate orations that kept him on
his feet for more than two hours. 1t
is said to have been a splendid ora
ton, and yet it is clean forgotten.
while Hncoln's little speech, prepared
on his knee as he was travelling in the
cars TO Gettysburg, is known all over
fhe world.
