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. Youth's Companion.

LOOT STORES OF FIELD MICE
Lincoln and Sumner,
Lincoln was modestly proud of bis
Stature and of the effect of the physical
man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments. 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

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,
