Out Lincoln on III. List.

General Huidekoper in 1862 detailed
two companies Of his regiment to
guard President Lincoln's summer resi-
dence. He saw the President constant
~ 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 Dutchman?"
And the general, who admired Lin
coin above all other Americans. adds

Why Lincoln Helped a Bug.

President Lincoln was walking with
friend about Washington and turned
back for some distances to assist a
beetle that had got on its back and
lay on the walk, legs sprawling in air,
vainly trying to- turn itself over. The
friend expressed surprise that the
President, burdened with the cares of
warning nation, should find time to
spare in assisting bug.
"Well," said Lincoln, with that
homely sincerity that touched the
hearts Of millions Of his countrymen,
"do you know that If had left that
bug struggling THERE on his back 1
wouldn't have felt just right? wanted
to put him on his feet and give him
an equal chance with all the other
bugs of his class"

old Love TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had =
Personal Touch.
Much Of the Romance Of the Day Hae
Passed, Though Sentiment 10
the Same 40 Ever.

Three hundred years ago young men
and women wrote their own valen-.
tines, which consisted then only Of.
love notices, or declarations of affec-
Ation, written in verse from a very full
heart and on plain paper. Many Of
our great-grandmothers saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines, old and yellow and
decaying, packed away in lavender In
the bottom Of dusty trunk up in the
attic. Yet when these valentines were
first penned and put in her hand how
grandma's heart did palpitate> and the
bushes rise to her cheeks! No mat
ter how halting the sonnet, or ana
gram or triolet, 1t was the music OF
love to her. Heart" dart and "art''
did rhyme sweetly!
The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per-
sonal touch, though perhaps some Of
them have gained from an artistic
point Of view. Today it is only the
school children and few open-hearted
interested grown-ups who find the Gus
tom of valentine making and valen-
tine giving the fascination that it used
to be-. Why, even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to. a
Now the modern young man drops
In confectioner's or florists shop and
orders candy or flowers sent to Her.
He scorns the valentine sonnet
whereby the girls of today are missing
heap of romance. 81
This was the day when young man
might accuse some young woman he
admired of being a coquette without
insulting her. In those days "co-
quette" had just such a naughty
meaning as "vamp" has today. It
meant heartless trifler.
- If she thereupon sent him a hand
made valentine on which were two
bleeding hearts made as one, it was
her answer to his accusation. It meant
that conquering the hearts of other
men than he, meant nothing to her;
that only his heart and hers in all
the world counted, that her heart was
bleeding for him just as much as his
was suffering for her.
The comic valentine is an outgrowth
or burlesque of the super sentimental
valentine and has almost died out. In
stead of pointing out the recipients

able skinniness or avoirdupois are u.s.
ually the jocular themes. Because
valentines are sent anonymously, it is
possible with impunity to remark
scathingly on the physical character
istics or disposition of ones friends or
foes.

A. Lincoln l. Remembered.

The work he did, the sum Of his
deeds and their great fruitage, may
inspire the chronicler Of our national
life and the recorder of Gods hand
writing in the annals Of His world !;
but to the rank and file, who know
but vaguely the details Of his heroic
achievements, the memory Of Lincoln
takes the form Of a warming, loving,
saddening personal presence, latter
day reflection Of the everlasting Man
Of Sorrows.
