7 FIRST saw Abraham Lincoln ii
L March, 1868, when 1 made a trip tt
the East from California via tn,
Isthmus Of Panama. 1t was at thu
Presidents levee, and, of course,
wrote to my family in the West, tell
ing them my impressions. This letter
proves that I, like many others of the
time, misjldged the man and surely
moderated his Abilities:
Last night I was at the Presi-
dents levee and saw many of the
dignitaries. A few moments ago
l saw Burnside and at first view
was satisfied of his incompetency
to command the army. 1t is
strange hat our President and
others have so little perception Of
character. Lincoln is a good
natured Westerner.
Later at one of the White House re-
ceptions Mrs. Cole and 1 waited in
the long line to be received. She some
how dropped one of her white gloves
and was not conscious of it until we
had moved up and it was our turn
to greet the President and Mrs. Lin
coin. She stood looking about her In
dismay for the missing glove, and the
President, seeing what had happened,
watched her with an amused smile.
In a moment he said: "Neyer mind,
Mrs. Cole, 1 shall have a search made
for it tomorrow, and shall preserve it
as a souvenir"
This remark, coming from a man to
whom book etiquette was a thing I'M
known, proved him to be an Unborn
gentleman. His department never
missed, because it was the expression
of his friendly feeling for all. He did
not offend because in his heart he felt
no animosity for anyone.
Always in consultation he was argu-
m~entative, but not dictatorial. He
was one of the best of listeners and
was always open to conviction, yet If
his OWL reasons were well founded,
and no one had a better reason to
offer, he could not be moved. But he
was never extensively o~pinionated.
His Use of Anecdotes.
His profuse use of anecdotes is, of
a matter of history. 1 remem-
Der one day that Mr.. Shannon and I
went to see Mr.. Lincoln regarding
legislation that concerned Cali
He could not comply with our
in the matter, and in order to
let us know hat conversation on the
had terminated, he told is
his story:
In the early times in Springfield,
were three churches, all ortho-
1ox, a Methodist, a Baptist, and a
Presbyterian. A young fellow came
here very unexpectedly to preach the
Jniversalist doctrine and to establish
church of that faith. That particular
reed was very unpopular at that time,
md these three orthodox preachers
determined to get together and preach |

but to be operated upon, and of purse
that would cost US a great deal. My hus-
band heard about Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound at the factory and
one night he stopped at the drug store
and bought me a bottle of it. l had be-
gun to think there was no help for me,
but l took three bottles of it and now
l feel like myself once more. The price
for three bottles wasn't so much as the
doctor had charged. 1 cannot praise

these from time to time with no In.
terruptiOn OF pause in his speech.
When he had concluded the band
played and then, without announce
ment, Lincoln arose He laid his coat
off, but retained the familiar shawl
feet away, on his right.
He began by stating well-known
facts-facts with which we were all
familiar. His sentences were short,
and l had the impression that some
times their briefness was due to the
fact that emotion choked his utter.
ice 1t was n of those times when
he seemed weighed down by his re.
sponsibilities, and his voice was fairly
pathetic in its i%ntonations. Everyone
listened attentively, but it then did
not seem a remarkable speech, and we
were all fairly surprised when he sat
down. The audience broke up without
expression or demonstration, but /
was conscious that Lincoln's remarks
had made a tremendous impression.

and gave me a cordial welcome.

unannounced / saw a look OF distress
on his face such as I had never seer

The Imaja palm, growing in South
America, has leaves reaching a length
of fifty feet and are often ten feet
wide. Another palm, a native of Cey-

eighteen feet broad, from which the
natives make tents and shelters.

(By Carl B. stow


Last week the writer visited the
Greeley agricultural district and
talked with q number Of the potato
growers about their crop prospects
and also spent several hours driv-
ing through that farming section
looking over their growing crops.
The farming section known and
referred to ~ the Greeley District
covers an extensive area OF excep-
tionally good agricultural land. and
includes the cities and towns OF
Greeley. Eaton. Auit. Pierce. Wind
sor. LaSalle. Gilcrest and Kersey.
Greeley was one OF the first big
potato shipping districts in the en-
tire Rocky Mountain region. and
up to . few years ago nearly all
potatoes grown in the mountain dis
tricts of the west we're known and
advertised to consumers in the east
and south As Greeley potatoes.
Greeley district Is yet Z big producer
OF spuds. but 4 much smaller acre.
age 10 grown than In years gone
by. The cobler is the variety grown
in that district now. but In the earl
fer days the Pearl variety was grown
almost exclusively. Those large.
mealy Pearls Of superb quality
grown under irrigation did more to
advertise Greeley and build-up that
now famous agricultural district
than all other advertising combined
and from this beginning the potato
growing industry has developed and
expanded until Colorado is now rec.
ognized as one of the big potato
producing states.
The Greeley district produced
very few cars Of early variety pota.
toes this year. and most OF these
are now being shipped by trucks to
Denver. Fort Collins. Loveland.
Longmont and Boulder. all nearby
cities supplying their demands-th,

$500 n hundred pounds for these At
the field. The Coblers which com
prise the large acreage in that dis
trict were planted late this year and
are not as far advanced as the
Brown Beauties grown In this val
ley. In fact. their late potatoes were
not far enough advanced last week
to Judge with any assurance Of ac-
curacy as to the yield. because sew
eral conditions might arise that
would materially affect the produc-
tiveness Of this crop. The stand
was good. the plants thrifty. and
every field free from weeds and ap-

locality has not had rain. but all
