The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1921-02-11

A recent writer on Lincoln as a
"lover of mankind" has likened him
to two other great men who have be-
come common possession of our
AngloSaxon race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself,
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked a comparison
apparently so remote. These are the
qualities of lover of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them in depict
ing, with sympathy for all, the group
of widely various characters who made
their immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage
together Scott displayed them not
only through the creatures of his i'm
agination. but also in his recorded re-
latiOns with all his fellow beings. In
that respect Chaucer is at a disad-
vantage, because he lived long before
biography had attained anything like
its modern abundance. Lincoln, later
thar Scott, and more tempting to BIZ

Lincoln and Sumner.

Lincoln was modestly proud of his
stature and of the effect of the physical
man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments, He used to speak
of his height to every tall man he
met, and to propose measuring-an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
ton. The only refusal he is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
of his height. Sumner was worrying
the President, as he often did, about
some perplexing matter, when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure,
Sumner declined" said Lincoln, ''mak-
ing a fine speech about this being the
time for uniting our fronts against
the enemy, and not our backs. But
guess he was afraid though he Is a
good piece of a man have never
had much to do with bishops where
live, but, do you know, Sumner is my
idea of a bishop. '-Harper's Weekly.

Cut Lincoln OFF His List.

General Hudekoper in 1862 detailed
two companies of his regiment tc
guard President Lincoln's summer resi-
dence. He saw the President constant
ly and they became real friends.
The first time the general met the
President, Lincoln, who had heard that
the Huidekopers came from Holland
inquired: "What is the difference be.
tween an Amsterdam Dutchman and
any other damn DlitchmanT"
And the general, who admired Lin.
coin above all other Americans, adds

CUPID'S OWN DAY
Fourteenth Of February Belongs
to Him Alone.
Anniversary Brightens the Drab Month
With Memories of the Past and
Joy of the Present.

Frightening the dull, drab month Of
February and doing their very best
to cheer up and bring love into our
hearts, the valentines-the valentines
smile at US with their lace-and-forget-
me-not daintiness from the shop win
dows.
There are elaborate "Inillionaire"
valentines Of celluloid and blue ribbons
that come in big lace boxes, like
French dolls; there are valentines that
when pulled out like an accordion be-
come Cinderella coaches of cardboard,
Cupids. Others resolve themselves in
to airy pink-and-blue palaces-you
never know-peopled with delightful
goddesses and doves.
But the best and most sincere, per-
haps, are the old-fashioned valentines
-vistas of foany paper lace, through
which you look upon hearts redder
than lovers lips, in a prospect of vio-
lets and forget-me-nots. And hidden
away, like billet doux In bouquet,
a little verse:
This heart sweet love, I send to you,
Together with these violets blue:
And If you like this heart of mine,
l pray you be my valentine.
Could anything be more simple or
direct to the point? AS unerringly as
Cupid's darts or beau's rapier, the
verse carries It's message home. 1t
may be that the Elizabethan lyrics,
the love songs Of Herrick and Love
lace and Sucking, survive today only
In the valentine.
And, ali, what memories these har-
bingers of love bring with them They
lead us back along the columbine-
bordered road to yesterday, over the
asphodel meadows Of Youth and First
Love and Childhood Fancies, and we
meet and kiss our first sweethearts
again-alas, they have gone out of
our lives these many years.
And so, dear little Valentine, accept
these violets and forget-me-nots, and
hug this message close to your heart
for surely sweetheart is the sweeter
for valentine, and, as all wise men
know, it's love that makes the world
go round.
