lawyer"
+ Example Of his quick wit and
fshreNd common sense are no less nu-
merOus than OF his quaint aptness in
storytelling. As is well-known he
never felt concern about his personal
appearance Of his clothes. On one
occasion in 1886 friend. passing him
on the sidewalk. after one quick
glance turned and said solicltously:
Abe, your coat IS much too short
in the waist
Never mind. Tom" Lincoln In
slantiy answered kindly, but with A
twinkle Ia his eyes; ''i' wiu Le long
enough-before eei aaother."
Some time afterwai ! he came along
one morning just as sel eral reauaint-
ances on street corner had begun
10 wrangle about the ideal length OF
a mans legs in proportion 10 his
BODY, and they agreed TO submit the
point TO Lincoln's decision.
Abe" one of them hailed him as
he approached. "how long ought a
mans legs TO be-"
Well. gentlemen" Lincoln drawi-
ed proptly. but with an appearance
of grave consideration. II don't pre-
tent TO know EXACTLY. but il seems
TO me that they should be long
enough-to reach from his body 10
the ground"
Years after, when he was PIesi-
dent. he again made humoroLsly
shrewd use OF question o: legs in
receiving delesa Ipa VI .nen who
were tr!lng In influence him TO hurry
the passage of a petty measure by
representing that il was OF great in.-
pOrlance.
Gentlemen" Lincoln inquired
gravely, iii YOU call the tail OF a
sheep a leg. how many legs will the
sheep have?"
Five" responded the spokesman
of the delegation with conviction.
No explained Lincoln with earn
est gravity and patient kindness; "it
would have only four. Calling the
tail leg wouldn't make il one"
For a moment the delegation sazed
blankiy AT tie imperturbable presi-
dent; then. as the application of the
point sank clowly in, the members
TUNED one by one and passed dis
oai.

riyaled in our annals TO this day, We
can readily understand how he came
TO occupy the place he holds in our
history.
The fact that The anniversary of
birthday as well as Lin
coins occurs in February makes IL
especially appropriate TO quote as
specimen of Lincoln's eloquence the
brief, closing passage of the seventy
address on Washington
delivered by Lincoln in 1912.
Washington" declared Lincoln,

The time has long been here when
In solemn awe and reverence we pro-
nounce the name of Lincoln with that
of Washington, and in their naked.

The victories. the first gained in the

an almost strictly party vote and after
lively debates. The tendency of the
Republicans to follow instructions of
The state convention and make ratif q
cation a party measure was so marked
as to leave the antis in a panic to-
day.
Both votes favoring suffrage came
up upon motions to fix recess during
which the commission appointed By
Governor Townsend can prepare re.
port upon the school code. Opponents
Of suffrage insisted upon a recess Of
one month apd upon insertion in the
resolution of pledge that when the
Legislature reconvcnes no subject
would be considered excepting the

Suffrage leaders defeated both efforts
with a united Republican vote. except
ing the votes of Representatives Lord
and Lloyd. who with Bull McNabb.
the Democratic House leader, have led
the fight against ratification.
McNabb. speaking in the House in
favor of the proposal for a long re-

any anxiety to present designations and
the Republicans lined up against him
McNabb qualified his remarks by say

they would resign.
While the House was debating Sen

Senator William +. Crow Republi

role of official harmonizer. Senator
Tcnrose had agreed upon twelve men
as candidates for delegates at large,
but there was not single Ware man

In view Of the fact that they have
agreed TO support Senator Penrose for
re election, the Wares have declared
that they are entitled to representation
among the delegates at large and have
nj ged that Receiver of Taxes W. Free

Senator Penrose is said to be op-
