CARLISLE VETERAN CUT
WOOD WITH LINCOLN
Philip Beidel Was Closely AS
sociated With Martyred Presi-
dent on Illinois Farm

CARLISLE Pa, Feb 12.--To have been
intimately associated with Abraha;n Lin
coin for two years. and to have seen him
in actual life in the period during his
debates with Douglas, was the privilege Of
Philip Beidel Of Carlisle, who served thre9
enlistments in the Union Army.
MIR. Beidel's mind today - as clear as 1t
was more than half a century ago. when
as boy Of sixteen he worked on the thou
sand-acre farm near ,Macomh, ILL.,, of j. II.
simpson. a first cousin of Abraham Lin
coin. Here it was that Mr.. Lincoln came
from his busy office in Springfield to study
and ponder over the great questions that
confronted the nation, in the seCluson of
farm life, He recounts how they some
times drove to town in a big two-horse
farm wagon to meet Mr.. Lincoln,
The house in which they lived was one
story, with ground floor and the apart
ment in which Mr.. Lincoln slept was par
titoned from his by a coarse sheet or cur
tain of linen. BY o'clock Mr.. Lincoln
was always in bed and often arose at
o'clock in the morning, He erected n large
trapeze in the yard on which he exercised
and would often help with the plowing and
wood cutting. This was in lS59-6O.
When Sunday came Mr.. Lincoln always
went to the Methodist church with the
Simpson family, seated on boards across a
large wagon bed filled with straw. and on
their return would eat enormously Of the
dinner after which he would smoke his
pipe or take a long walk alone. while
cider and wine We're always around, the
future President never tasted either.
After Mr.. Lincoln was elected to the
presidency. Mr.. Beidel saw him hut once,
and that was in front of the Capitol at
Washington while reviewing troops, Upon
this occasion Mr.. Beidels company the
