President had gone out to Fort Stevens
l got on my horse and followed him.

his tall form standing on the parapet,
with bullets flying in every direction

seemed to be quite oblivious to the
danger of his situation. 1 tied my
horse and went as near to him as
could to render any assistance in case
of need. i saw a man hit and fall, and
for moment / thought ii was the
President, but soon realized that 1t was
not. He had been persuaded to come
down from his dangerous post just
few moments before.

The Cowboys Finery.

sTHERE is an establishment in the
west, dealing exclusively with
stockmen and cowboys, where q hat
costs from s12 TO $40 and a pair of
trousers from SIS to a figure that
would stagger even the fastidi, us east
erner. The cowboys finery is most ex-
pensive and he can spend a sum on his
outfit that seems out of all proportion
to his station in life.
Several skilled workmen spend weeks
in making a saddle, mounting 1t with
as much silver and other valuable
metals as the purchaser may demand.
1t sometimes happens that the cow
boys saddle actually costs more than
the horse under it. Regular stock sad

as SIS. If the prospective purchaser
wishes ito go in for something fancy
there is practically no limit to the price
he may pay.

for a more durable type of memorial
there was an animated controversy as
to what form it should take. and the
contestants resolved themselves into
two strong parties. One advocated
great highway from Washington to
Gettysburg, to be maintained as me-
mortal highway; the other desired some
kind of monumental structure which
would fittingly convey the dignity in
separab1e from the name Of Abraham
Lincoln.
lowing to the great first cost and the
very high expenditure for maintenance
of a highway that idea was abandoned.
Then there was a division of opinion
ture should take. The Lincoln memo
rial commission authorized two of the
countrys best architects. Mr.. Henry
Bacon and Mr.. John Russell Pope. to
suggest types of memorials which
would suit the occasion. Mr.. Pope pre-
pared designs for location on Merid-
ian Hill. for the Soldiers Home grounds
on the North Capitol street axis, and
later on for location in Potomac Park,
all of which had great merit. Mr.. Ba-
cons design, prepared for its position
on the Mall terminal where it stands.
seemed to the national commission of
fine arts and the Lincoln memorial
commission to fit in more appropriate ly
signer of the Capital City, as well as
to harmonize with the plans of the Mall
as they were expanded by the park
commission of 1901. consisting of Au-
gust Saint-Gaudens. Daniel H. Burn
ham. Charles F. McKim and Frederick
Law Olmsted.
MIR. Bacon's design was for the erec-
ton of a Greek temple on a slight ar
tificial level. placing in on line with
the Capitol and the Washington Monu-
ment, vista to be opened through the
entire length of the Mall from the
Capitol to the Lincoln memorial.
The subject was referred by the
Lincoln memorial commission. which
had the matter in charge, to the CON-
mission of fine arts, which promptly de-
cided in favor of the Mall site. Sew
eral different designs were prepared
by Mr.. Bacon, and the commission
finally selected the Greek temple OF
great size and beauty, whose super
structure today stands completed. The

1t is within the memory of none to-
day, and it Is known to comparatively
few, but it is fact. that the site
upon which the Lincoln memorial
stands was. hundred years ago, the
center of the Potomac river. With the
channels dredging this portion gradu-
ally became filled and was converted
into a mosquito infested marsh until
the government drained and filed it
in with solid earth twenty years ago,
A seemingly unstable foundation for
memorial mass of such great weight, it
has been an engineering feat Of magni-
tude to overcome the natural~obstacles
Of the position. Engineering experts
were employed to solve the problem. with
the result that no building OF its kind
and size rests on a surer foundation,
for the Lincoln memorial today stands
on solid rock hundred feet below the
level of it's marble floor.

and rode much by himself. We met him
frequently in our drives, the solitary
figure on horseback on his way to and
from the summer residence of the fam
lily, now known as the Lincoln cottage,
standing in the grounds Of the National
Soldiers Home.
But when he was walking I never
saw him pass a child without speaking.
Then his face would soften and the
weary, troubled look disappear in an ex-
preston of interest and kindness. AS
the war progressed Lincoln's attitude
stiffened and we knew that he could be
very severe upon the men of his party
who thought that they could influence
him against his own best judgment.
'In spite of the war and the fact that
Washington was filled with all sorts Of
dangerous characters, the White House

00 7HEN the traveller approaches
MAN. Washington on Lfncoln's
WV birthday this year he will
behold the completed super
structure of the nations greatest me-
mortal to Abraham Lincoln. for those
most interested in its construction have
made the effort to present this main
section of the monument complete on
February IL, in commemoration of the
112th anniversary of the birth of the
war President.
Judgment has been passed by those
in authority in matters of art that
this Lincoln memorial is one of the
worlds structural gems and that moth
ing finer has ever been created In
either the old or the new age of classic
architecture.
When it is entirely completed. within
and without, America will possess
shrine commemorative of one OF Its
greatest citizens. to which all may
come to gain W hat measure of JOY or
inspiration each may gather from
peerless specimen of monumental art.
The Lincoln memorial finds its site
at the western termination Of the Mall,
scheme outlined by the park commits
sion of Washington, on the Capitol
Washington Monument axis, which
sweep Of parking when completed will
equal in beauty anything of it's kind
in the world.
No American monument has ever
been given the consideration bestowed
upon the Lincoln memorial. 1t took
ten years to select the site, but that
which was finally chosen has met with
universal approval. Its position was
fittingly expressed by the late John
Hay, Lincoln's secretary and biogra-
pher. who said:
The place of honor is the main
