LINCOLN THE MAN v MAKE FRIENDS WHEN YOU CAN tameless mil down tie kouse ofanoiher.fotkt ma labor 4uienuuj to build one or himself. n A recent writer on Lincoln as a "lover of mankind" has likened hlni to two other great men who have be come a common possession of our Anglo-Saxon race. Although they seem almost as fur 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 a lover of mankind. Chaucer displayed them In depict , log, with sympathy for all, the group of widely various characters who made their Immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage together. Scott displayed them not only through the creaturesaof his Im agination, but also Id his recorded re lations with all bis fellow brings. In that respect Chaucer Is atTi disad vantage, because he lived long before biography h:iO attained anything like its modern abundance. Lincoln, later thai: Scott, and more tempting to bi ographers because of his high place, Is the most fully recorded uf them all although there Is no single book about him that seems so sure to per sist as the "Life of Scott," by Scott's son-in-law, Lockhurt It is In the very variety and extern of the studies of Lincoln's character that the strength of his bold on the Imagination of the world Is shown. Fifty-sis years have passed siuce he met his tragic death. Through nil that period the interpretations of his character historical, analytical, po eticalhave steadily Increased In num ber. The bare facts of his unique, yet strangely typical and slgnltlcunt career, arrange themselves In per spective like the acts of a great up liftlug tragedy. If he bad lived in the days when myths were made, it Is easy to Imagine that In the process of time he would have grown Into a great mythical figure, a King Arthur of the New. World, a half-dlvlne hero like those that we associate wltb the most distant antiquity. But he belonged to no such period. His age Is one of the most amply re-, corded In all history, and the records of bis life are so Intertwined wltb those of men and events quite with out poetic or heroic suggestion, that bis feet can never be wholly removed from the earth. Indeed. It Is much better that no such possibility exists. We need to know that out of oar com mon life can spring so extraordinary an example of the development of which our human nature Is capable. When all Is said and done, when his wisdom, his patience, bis sacrifice are fully remembered, we shall delight pre-eminently to recall blm as the friendly, humorous, accessible lover of mankind.

He used to speak of bis height to every tall mun be met, and to propose measuring an other guileless habit of self-gratification. The only refusal he la 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 somu perplexing matter, when Lincoln abruptly challenged blm 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 I guess he was afraid, though he Is a good piece of a man. I have never bad much to do with bishops where I live, but, do you know, Sumner Is my Idea of a bishop." Harper's Weekly. Why Lincoln Helped a Bug. ' President Lincoln was walking with a friend about Washington and turned back for some distance to assist beetle that had got on Its hack 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 a warring nation, should Bud lime to spare in, assisting a bug. ' Well," said Lincoln, with that homely sincerity that touched the hearts of millions of his countrymen. "do you know thr.t If I had left thai bug struggling there on bis bark I wouldn't have felt Just right? I wanted to put him on his feet and give Mm an equal chance wltb all the other bugs of bis class." As Lincoln Is 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 God's hand writing In the annals of His world: bnt 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, a latter day reflection of the everlasting Man lOf Sorrows. I ' Cut Lincoln Off His List ' General Huldekoper In 1802 detailed iwo companies or nis regiment to 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 hod heard that the Huldekopers came from Holland. Inquired: "What Is the difference be tween an Amsterdam Dutchman and any other damn Dutchman?" And the general, who admired Lin coln above all other Americana, adds: "If I had had ony awe of the Presi dent it was then and there forever gone." Gh-ard. In Philadelphia Ledger. With a Nation's Tribute Funeral Train of the Martyred President Leaving Washington Under Escort. . . From an Old Print J The splendor of the ceremonials ! which aggrandize living royalty as much as they glorify dead heroism was wholly wanting In the obsequler of Mr. Lincoln. No part was taken by the government except the provl slon of suitable military escort. All beyond was the spontaneous move ment of ' the people. For seventeen hundred miles, ' through eight great -states of the Onion whose population wai not less than 15 million, an al most continuous procession of mourn ers attended the remains of the lie loved President, There was no pag eantry save theli presence.

They bowed before the bier of him who had been prophet, priest and king to his people, who had struck the shackles from the slave, who had taught a high er ser.se of duty to the free man, who had raised the nation to a loftier con ception of faith and 'hope and charity. North Dakota Indians Raid Caches of Delicacy, but Always Leave Com In Its Place. In the northern pnrt of North Da kota (here grows a bean which is re lated to the peanut and of which the Indians of that section are very fond. As each plunt bears but a single beun. the labor of gathering them would be very great, but the field mice of that section gather the beuns and hide them for winter consumption lu under ground storehouses. The Indians know how to locate the caches and In the autumn they go forth and rob them, but the supplies are Invariably replaced with corn or some other grain which the Indluus have In plenty, so that the little har vesters are not starved out. The beans huve a delicious flavor and are highly prized. In the course of a few days' hunt one .Indian may gather two bushels, a few quarts being secured from euch of the underground storehouses. I The Indians say that this method of gathering food from mouse hoards dates buck to prehistoric times, hut the traditions of the tribes protect the mice In that it is taught thul dire pun ishment fulls upon those who take the beans without replacing them with corn.
