TIME stone walls of the White
from his fellows, from their hopes
and sorrows and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
In the cabin home of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was in
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed In
surprise: He is very common look
ing man." Whereupon he answered.:
"Friend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept in touch with the mass. He did
not have TO take the word of politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senator's and the big-wigs, he plunged
with Zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion bath" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over its arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
in through the wide open door of his
office. Those who approached him in
awe found themselves at ease In the
presence of friend, whose manner
said TO every one what he said in
speech 10 a regiment: II happen tenn
porarily to occupy this big White
House. / am Il living witness that
any one of your children may look to

The man fairly eXhaled democracy,
fraternity, equality. Frederick Doug
las said that Lincoln was the only
white man he ever met who did not
show consciously or unconsciously that
he recognized his color.
sympathy flowed in constant
stream from its fountain in this great
heart. A mothers tears, baby's cry,
fathers plea, crutch or an empty
sleeve never failed to move Lincoln.
IF he has no friend, I'll be his friend"
he said as he stopped the shooting of
Il soldier, under sentence of court
martial.

brother, 'you have come here with no
governor or senator or member of
congress to speak in your cause; you
seem honest and truthful and you
don't wear hoops, and I'll be whipped
IL 1 don't pardon him."
Lincoln's office was almost his prison
cell through four terrible years. The
shouts of his two little boys at play
always were welcome notes Of joy to
their care-weighted father. He never
objected to their noisily bursting In

upon him, and often he joined the
children in their boisterous games in
the White House grounds.
In the dark days when the nation
itself was at deaths door, one of the
boys died. For weeks the grieving
father strOve in vain to win a spirit of
resignation, dropping his work for a
day Mt time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fortitude he
gained ut last In that wrestle with
himself became part OF the heroic faith
which lifted him above the general
despair when the fortunes of the
Union sank lowest.
After Willie's death, the other boy
received double share of paternal af-
lection. Tad was in the habit of going
to his father in the evening and maxi
ing a report of all that had happened
since morning, usually falling asleep
In the midst of his prattle. Laying
the little fellow on the floor by the
side of his desk, Lincoln returned to
his heavy tasks until his own long day
was done, when he took his sleeping
boy on his shoulder and carried him
off to bed.

In the balloting for its candidate for
vice president in 1856, and its candi-
date for senator in 1853 against Ste
phen A. Douglas, the author of the re-
peal.
While Lincoln made ready for that
campaign, as always in every hour of
decision, he retired within himself. He
consulted no one and gave no hint of
his line Of attack until he called to-
gether dozen friends and read to
them his opening speech, which began
with those immortal words: "a house

Douglas carried n few more legisla-
tive districts and was reelected, but
Lincoln led in the aggregate popular
vote.
Lincoln had met his Bunker Hill.
The great unknown, who had dared to
cross swords with the foremost cham
plon Of the repeal, piqued the curios-
fly of the country. Accepting an invi-
tation to speak In New York, his
Cooper union address established his
intellectual and moral right to lead
the nation.
Nevertheless, when jealous neigh
bors had first entered him as a candi-
date for president, he protested that
he was not fit for the place. Until the
convention of 1860 actually met in Chi
cago his name seldom was mentioned
for the honor outside his own state.
Two-thirds of the delegates really ia
vored the nomination of William ii.
Seward. but as so often happens in
politics, the very pre-eminence of the
New York senator made him unavaIl-
able. In the end Lincoln was nomi-
mated largely because he was the least
known man on the list Of candidates.

TIME iron-throated cannon Of the
Il Washington navy yard, breaking
the stiffness of a March dawn in 1854
with its 100 exultant rOars over the
repeal of the Missouri compromise,
awakened Lincoln to the great mis-
sion for which his whole life had been
an unconscious preparation. After a
single term in congress, where his crit
icism of the Mexican war in the midst
of that conflict had left him unavail-
able for a second term, and after
provi lentially failing to obtain the snug
berth of commissioner of the general

PROVIDE ENGINE
WITH LUBRICANT
Liquid in Crank Base Sometimes
Trimmed Out With Gasoline
and Disaster Follows.
MAKE CERTAIN Of RIGHT OIL
Old Material Should Be Drawn Out
and New Supply Put in for Every
1000 Miles Of Driving-Keep
Close Watch on Gauge.

The wise car owner obeys his in
struction book explicitly. He fills the
base of his engine with lubricant when
oil is necessary, as indicated by the
gauge, but the instruction book does
not always advise him further regard
ing the oiling system. At the present
high cost of lubricant more instruc-
tons are necessary.
You may have liquid in the base Of
your engine, but is 1t a lubricant?
Many times this liquid is a combina-
ton of cylinder oil and gasoline. Its
lubricating properties are poor and
should the bearings burn out through
lack of oil the owner Is apt to blame
the oil for the trouble. Then he i'm
mediately buys oil of another grade,
without knowing the real reason for
his trouble.
Make Sure Of Right Oil.
The best way to make sure Of hav-
ing the right grade Of oil is to use re-
ligiously the oil recommended by the
manufacturers of the particular car
you drive. Depending upon the type
of engine, crank-case oil should be
changed regularly. Old lubricating oil
should be drawn out and new oil put

driving. In special cases II is advis-
able to renew the oil much oftener.
but this is the usual length of time 1t
may be left in the engine.
If the engine doesn't get sufficient
amount of oil ii will run hot. If the
driver does not notice that his oil
gauge is failing to indicate, II is doubt
full that he would know the engine was
hot until 1t stopped and wouldn't run
any more. In such a case he would
probably find that one or two, perhaps
all, OF the bearings are burnt out.
Something Wrong.
When the engine is not getting
enough oil II is usually because the
oil supply has been allowed to run
low or there is something wrong with
the circulating system-either the
pump is not forcing the oil to the bear
ings properly or the pipes are plugged
or the connections are loose or the
strainer is INSTRUCTED with foreign
matter.
Whenever the gauge does not func-
tion properly the trouble should be
Investigated at once. Make sure, first

crank case. Then take careful look
at the oil pipe connections TO make
sure that they are not leaking. If
these are tight take out the oil strain

pipes and stick wires through them or
blow them out with the tire pump.
Finally. better adjustment of the oil

Don't fail to keep an eye on your

Drain your engine oil every 500 to
1000 miles. 1t may seem cheaper to
