White House with Speaker Colfax.
They arrived about o'clock, Just
as the President and Mrs. Lincoln
were starting to the play-"Our
American Cousin" comedy playing
at Ford's Theater. Mr.. Ashmun
was chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Convention of 1860, nomi-
mated Mr.. Lincoln for the presidency
and was one of the Notification
Committee. He was a man of great
personal charm and wide popularity
and had grown fond Of Lincoln
when they were in the Congress to-
gether.
Mr.. Ashmun and Speaker Col
fax after stating their errand were
told by the President to call next
morning-Saturday-at 9 o'clock.
On Mr.. Ashmun expressing fear
that he might find it difficult to
see the resident at so early an
hour without a card or note of ad-
mittance, Mr.. Lincoln turned back
and wrote with pencil on card
the size Of a gentleman's visiting
card Of that time: ALLOW Mr. Ash
nun & friend to come in at 8 am.
tomorrow. A. Lincoln, April IA,
1885,"
He left Immediately after for the
theater, and within two hours Of
the time he signed the card the
bullet from the pistol of Booth had
killed him.
Mrs. Lincoln Recalled
Pleasure Of Last Drive.
Mrs. Lincoln afterward recalled
the unusual pleasure of that last
afternoon when she and the Presi-
dent left the White House and drove
in the direction of Soldiers Home
q favorite drive of Mr.. Lincoln. It
was the beautiful season of the
year when Washington begins to
blossom forth, and the roads were
lined with wild honeysuckle, dog
wood, ilacs and the profusion Of
wild flowers which then rioted un-
disturbed where there are now rows
of stone mansions and red brick
houses with smoothly trimmed
lawns. She often spoke of the
happiness of her husband at the
termination Of the war between the
States and how, on that drive, he
talked of his future plans after the
end OF his second term of ofice,
to which he had just been elected
He spoke of returning to his old
home at Springfield, ILL.,, or per-
haps to Chicago, to open q law
once and resume his practice. He
spoke Of the small amount of money
they had saved, and hoped to save
a bit more with which to establish
q home for their old age. Return
ing from the drive, Mrs. Lincoln
expressed a desire to see "Our Amer
lean Cousin"
1t has become the fashion to quote
Lincoln's speeches and utterances,
but it was for the English critics
to discover for America the WON
derful strength and purity and
choice of Lincoln's English as ex-
hibited In the Second Inaugural
Address and the Gettysburg Ad-
dress, which have now passed into
history as classics.

Niagara Falls Remains Greatest Tourist Lure

NIAGARA FALLS, pictured Oh the U. S. 25-cent stamp above, of the l922-23 postage series, is viewed by more than two million visitors each year Although not the highest nor the largest water fall in the world, 1t is easily ac- cessible, has long been a favorite place for honeymooners.
 Niagara is l67 feet high, is ap- proximately a mile wide. The water is free from sediment and its clearness adds to the beauty of the cataract. The scenic value depends upon the volume of wa ter flowing over the falls and upon its distribution in American and Horseshoe Falls.
 The brink of the falls is reced- ing at an average rate of 21s feet year, but scenic beauty of Niagara is to be preserved by CO., operation of Canada and United States in checking erosion, insur- ing even distribution of water
 The famous HI o n e ym o o n Bridge" across the gorge below the falls (pictured on U S 5-cent stamp of Pan American issue), was destroyed by an ice jam in 1888.
