Feb. 12.—Abraham Lincoln is shown again as one of the ' plain people at the Chicago Histori- | this week To its already fine Lincoln tlon, the society has added on this anniversary, for the first time, some remarkable bits of Lincoln's environ- ment that give glimpses of his life. Most illuminating perhaps among theso Is the pew that Lincoln occu- pled. in the Presbyterian church at Springfeld, before he left Illinols’ capital to to the White House. The rough bench looks as if it might have made from the rails that he split in youth. No plainer, com- moner, more substantial bench could be bullt for a church. The pew probably was never paint- ed. At any rate it shows no sign of paint today, but stands like a product of the carpenter that had gone ! straight to the church. It % a bench that without regard to looks. could be doing its duty for several more hall centuries. Nearby is a chair that Lincoln used while he was reading law. It is one of those bleak office chairs of long ago, n sure enough companion piece to the pew, simple, worn and still good f long term of hard service. lose at hand stands a bookcane abroad for Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. Rath- o ornately carved, it seems quite un- like Lincoln’s home bookcase, which Viso display here today. This i« another of the plain pleces com- | mon in the duy, and now sought after, }ut that there wias comfort and ele- gance of a qulet nature in the Lin- household may bLe attested by handrome mahogany and hair- couch from Springfield.
