his fat little legs in all directions.
So mamma and pappa Miller

Junior was in papa’s automo­

, CHICAGO---- Some new side­
lights on Abraham Lincoln were
divulged . by one o f , his former
neighbors, Mrs. E. L. Capps, fe5,
while she was here recently visit­

country lawyer, gave twenty-five
cents to a small boy for a bed for
a friend, and how Lincoln, the
great - hearted, wept over aome
orphans. ’ *
"I can see him padding across
a yard, bear-headed and in his
shirt-sleeves, wearing carpet slip­
pers, shovel in hand, to borrow
a few life coals to start thé morn­
ing fire.”
’ :
It was after the Capps family
moved to Mount Pulaski that the
incident of the rented bed took
place. .
"Mr. Lincoln — no one called
him Abe in those days — would
come to Mount Pulaski for court
twice a year," Mrs. Capps said.
"He would stay with us. I used
to wait on the table, and I can
remember keeping the flies away
with a peach bough while Lincoln
and his family were eating.
"He had the front room, with
a great four-poster bed, and my
