Captain Paine Celebrates Lincoln Birthday

Among those who make spe-
cial celebration on Lincoin's birth
day, none will have more incl
dents to recall than Captain
Phelps Paine of Omaha, who was at
one time the boy who drove Lincoln
around in his coach. The captain
was born in Monmouth, ILL.,, and when
he was IA years OF age, in 1858. Lin
coin was running for United States
senator against Stephen A. Douglas.
As his father was local campaign
manager for the Wing candidate when
the latter came to Monmouth to meet
Douglas in a joint debate, young
Paine was called upon to assist in en-
tertaining the guest. And his part Of
the entertaining was TO drive Lincoln
around in the family vehicle, After
the debate in his home town the
young man drove Lincoln to the next
town, Springfield.
It was on this trip that the captain
became quite well acquainted with the
future president. The next time they
communicated was when Mr.. Phelps
Paine wrote asking for a captains
commission in the army. He had
been in the service since the year
1868 and had been promoted to a
lieutenancy by the year 1864. When
a captains vacancy occurred in his
regiment he aspired TO the position,
but his father, General f. A. Paine,
would not recommend his own son,
and so his desire was crushed tenn
porarily. Finally he wrote letter
to the Mr., Lincoln he had known.
No one knew what he had done, not
even his father, until it was pub
lished in the Chicago papers that he
had been promoted to be assistant adj
jutant general with the rank of cap
tain. The promotion paper was signed
by Abraham Lincoln.
Captain Paine took part in the bat
ties of Nashville, New Madrid and
others. He was wounded several
times and once his horse was shot
under him, while he himself came out
unhurt His wounds seemed to heal
quickly, though, and he attributes this
fact to his desire to be on the job.
The captain has number of relics
which he accumulated during the war.
When his regiment was operating
around Island Number 10 it fell upon
his company to watch a number OF
prisoners on that island. The prison.
crs tried to escape, and in doing so
