No other man can be quite like h'm to mi; he remains my master of men, as is Lee my ideal of the Happy Warrior. I understand the grim humor in his sad eyes, I love that lined face, cut from the granite of self-control; that tamed volcano face, seamed and scarred by the lava of his trials and his tears: I can see how the illuminating and conciliatory anecdotes were his relief from the pain of an aching heart; my muscles harden and my nerves tingle as I recall the puppet politicians and fancy self-advertising warriors who crucified him slowly. The country and the people that Lincoln believed in, I must believe in and fight for, too. Washington was an Englishman and baptized us, but Lincoln was an Ameri can, who officiated at our first communion as a united people —Price Collier, in Scribners Additional Locals. f.S y. S.
