That feeling is common in Illinois. 1 went to Illinois | $5 the year made famous in his- | by Lincoln’s debates with Doug- the Lincoln had prz same judicial circuit where M ced for many ye: intimate friends. In fact, everybo in that part of Illinois knew Mr. coln, or knew much about him, so that no man could be with them long with- out feeling that he, too, was quainted with him. “My first meeting with Mr. Lin- coln was in June, 1860, when the Re- publican State convention was held at Decatur to select deles: to the | national convention. I lived at Tus- cola, and with a party of young chaps drove across the prairies to Decatur to attend the convention. The dis- tance was about 40 miles and we traveled in a two-horse farm wagon. Meeting With “When we drove into Decatur and through Main street one of our party, an Deven, said,” ‘There's d called out to a tall man on | lewalk, ‘Howdy, Abe,' to which | ~. Linceln- responded with like fa-| miliavity, ‘Howdy, Aveh.' - A little later one of our party wanted to send a telegram ‘and we went to the rail- road station, where the only telegraph office in the town was located. There we met Mr. Lincoln and Van Deven expressed surprise at seeing him and asked if he had come to the conven- tion. Lincoln looked at his questioner for a moment and then with a drawl replied: ‘I m most too much of a-can- didate to be here, and not enough of one to stay away. Lincoln. day in an open space or lot between 'l\vr\ burildings. Posts made from sap- lings had been set into the ground at the open ends of the lot as a support for a roof of green boughs to serve as a shade, and rough boards were placed on short lengths of logs to | form the seats. Two ends were open. The convention was practically out of doors. I went to the convention and was in the crowd outside the line of supports for the roof of boughs. Soon after the convention was opened there was a call from the platform to open a passage and let John Hanks and Dick Oglesby through, who car- ried two big walnut rails that had been split by Lincoln and Hanks. The crowd surged back and Hanks and Ogle: arried the rails to the plat- form, where they were placed, with a cotton streamer bearing the legend: “These rails were made by John Hanks and Abraham Lincoln in 1830." Passed Over the Crowd. “A little while later in the proceed- ings there was another announcement, this time from the outside: ‘Mr. Lin- coln is here’ He had appeared on the outskirts of the crowd, was in- stantly recognized and his presence announced to those on the platform. went up to bring him to the platform, ‘but “there was no‘way of getting through the crowd that filled the whole place and surrounded the platform. Oglesby was talking, but what he said was drowned by cries, ‘Make way for Mr. Lincoln.' The crowd refused to give way, and some one shouted, ‘Pass him along, boys,’ and soon 1 saw him coming in a re- cdmbent position over the heads of the crowd, his body held by scores of hands, being passed along. I had heard of such a proceeding, but never in my life had I seen'a man passed along over the heads of a crowd. Mr. Lincoln’s extreme height . and his spare figure made a, picture. that was not soon forgotten.. Straightening himself and mounting the platform where Oglesby - was still speaking, Lincoln sat down. He had hardly become seated when some one shouted, ‘Let Abe speak.’ but Lincoln refused to talk. He was asked if he had split the rails that had been brought on the platform and he replied: ‘John Hanks says I split those rails. I don’t know whether we did or not, but we have made many a better one.’ Not Spoiled by Honors. “I did not see Lincoln again until after his election as President. Al- ready there were threats of war, of secession and of ass ination, but he was the ,same cordial, unassuming, seemingly commonplace man of that day in Decatur. I was on the train going from -Tuscola to Mattoon and met Mr. Lincoln, who was also on the train, going to Charleston to pay a last visit to his stepmother, who lived at Farmington, a few miles from that place. He was, of course, the most distinguished man on the train and he was constantly surrounded by peo- ple who wanted to shake hands and | have a word with him. But he was just one of the passengers in the day | coach. He had no bodyguard, and Senator Tom Marshall of Coles Coun- [ty was his only traveling companion. I was again introduced, but exchanged |only a few words with "him, because | every one was anxious to meet him.

Water for Diplomats. {, W “Washington found it hard fo un- derstand = the innovation . in _those drinking days hefore prohibition had ever been heard of except as an im- possible joke. But Hayes, or rather Mrs. Hayes, persisted. When the time for the first state dinner to the diplo- matic corps approached there was con- siderable uneasiness, for the foreign ministers were not likely to look on water as the proper beverage. Secre- tary Evarts finally hinted to Hayes that it might be well to make an | ception to his rule in the case of this dinner. The President laughingly told him Mrs. Hayes had control of the domestic establishment, and he must exercise his diplomacy upon her. But Mrs. Hayes' temperance princi- ples were too rigid to allow her to make any discrimination, and it be- came the custom for men invited to a White House dinner to fortify them- selves for the ordeal ,somewhat as they do in these Volstead davs and take a cocktail just before going to the White House.
