It is the moest Ineonspicuous of the many national shrines In Washington, located on a side street, with only & simple sign near the door telling the stranger that here surely 1s holy ground. On every recurring Febru- ary 12, the birthday of President Lincoln, the littfe bullding Is open to the public Yfres of charge, and hundreds of pcople avail themselves of the privilege. A curl: ous, motley crowd, throngs the bufiding, relates the Washington Post, the weil-to-do citizen touching elbows with the shabby he old-time negro who comes in once mors to show hig grandchildren the plotured face of “OI' Marse Linkum dat gib us our free- dom,” and the gray-haired old veteran of ‘6l standing aside for the more dapper “‘veteran' of the Spanish war. At times the place 18 mo crowded by the race un- shackled by the great liberator as ta re- semhia an emancipation day parade. Ford's Theater, Ford's theater, the scene of that fatal tlagedy, Is still an object of Interest to all sightseers at the national capital. Its exterior remains much the same in appear- ance as on that direful night, although the Interfor was long ago remodeled for office purposes, leaving no trace -of the old auditorium In which weve assembled the wealth ang fashion of the time on the night of Apri) 14. The house to which the wounded presi- dent was taken, and in which he dled at 7:20 the, next morning, is just across the eet. Tt s a plain, three-stery bric iding, and was occupled at that time as alprivate residence. Sixteen years ago the Lincoln Memorial association rented the bullding and installed the mementos of the mertyr. 1t seems like treading on holy ground to stand within sight and touch of so much that ia sacred to the home-life of the bo- loved Lincoln. Here is the old family cook stove—Royal Oak No. 9, the last one used by tHe Lincolns in their Springtield home, and pald for, three days before leaving hat elty for Washington, February 8, 1861 Two. old-fashioned ‘“haircloth” sofas I £ood proservation, a small walnut stand, a very high back haircloth armed rocker, sald to have been Mr. Lincoln's favorite chalr, and a small desk with pigeonholes, bought when thé family began housekeep- ing, are among the interesting relies ot that early hotne. Upon this desk is laid the framed copy a letter from the donor, an old-time /ghbor of Mr. Lincoln, who quotes the Jatter as saying, when he appeared at the friend’s door with the desk in pleces, “I We've Been Making TOPS for...

In one of the rooms are displayed 1,000 blographies of Lincoln, 260 sermons touch- irg upon the assassination, 500 magazines, from 1843 to 1865, containing articles rela- tive to the great war president; 3,000 news- paper clippings, numerous pamphlets and | many burlesques and political caricatures clrculated during his campalgns—one of the cartoons showing Mr. Lincoln wear- ing a crown and entitled “Abraham Afri- canus 1. » The candle used b the physi clans in man, wreaths from the casket, the sheet music of ninety different funeral marches dedicated to the dead president and bits of funeral paraphernalia taken .from the oatafalque are all treasured within these walls. Many of the original theater bills an- nouncing the play, “Our American Cous on that fateful night, are hanging by the fireplace in the front parlor, while the picture of Lincoln signing the martyred McKinley's brevet as major, attracts the attention of all visitors. The only object in all this vast memo- rial collection that would provoke a smile is'a crude, highly colored print represent- ing the murdered president rising on very substantial looking clouds into the upper realms, robed in long, loose garments, deco- rated with a long, blue scarf, and being met by “angels” garbed In equally gaudy and gorgeous greens and reds—some bald, others with flowing hair, and wearing enormous wings that would almost seem to solve the problem of aerial navigation.

SCULPTOR'S VIEW OF LINCOLN Gutzon Borglum Discusses the Beauty | of the Martyr President. FIRST GREAT GIFT OF THE WEST t His Great Nature Re- flected in His Face—Profile of Pare Middle West Pla man. Accompanying a notably impressive por- trait bust of Abraham Lincoln by Gutzon Borglum In Everybody's Magazine, the dis- tinguished sculptor draws a pen plcture of the martyt president, in part, as follow: Whether Lincoln sat or stood, his was the case of movement of a figtre controlled by direct and natural development, without hint of consclousness. There are but two possible explanations of this—either he was a consummate artist and appreciated the power of absolute directness, or else he wes by nature wholly unconsclous. His ease was that of & man of power. He sat in chalrs a litile too low for him. Of course, chairs were not made for him— nothing in this democratic country of ours is mado for anybody in particular; every- thing 1s made for everybody. And so Lin- coln scomed when he sat down to sink farther than was quite easy or graceful, and that left his knees pushing unnaturally high. Again, when rising, he would grab both knees as if to help himself; he would lean forward to find the center of his quilibrium—a movement we all go through, but in dear old Abe, because he was a little out of scale with his smaller com- panions, they called it awkward. Pecullarities of Movement. His walk was free, and he moved with a long, but rather slow, swinging stride; he looked down as he walked, like & man pick- Ing his way carefully over a newly har- rcwed fleld, lifting his feet quite clear of the soft ground. It was this movement that gave the long fold In the thigh part of his trousers, straining the garment—an effect often commented upon. His arms hung free, and he carried his hand open. Anyone wearing an eight and a half glove could take his hand casily In his. His hands were not disproportionately large; but the cut of his sleeve was gener- ous, as of his period, and in the swinging use of his arms so much of his wrists came through that they seemed large. In his early life hard labor had developed the palms of his hands, and the thic muscle part of his thumb was full ar strong; but this shrank later to the thun of the lterary man, and, strangely, con sidering his early life, he carried it closely into his hand, as becomes the habit, or is the nature, of literary men. He was erect. He did not stoop at the shoulders, as nearly evervbody states. There are no wrinkles in his coat, forward, between the lapel and the shoulder, nor is there a corresponding strain In the back, to show the garment's yleld to the stooping tenant. On the contrary, there is evidence of an erectness, definite and purposeful. And Here I want to register a statement that Abraham Lincoln was a man of ac- tlon. It takes most human beings from three to five gemerations to get within speaking dlstance of the circle this man ralsed himself to and commonded, in & short Ilifetime, without the shoulders of predatory interests to creep upon; and many of his photographs show to me a spirit hunting and hunted as by some soul- stirring motive, His neck does not *‘rest' on his shoulders. It rises from them with @n ‘eractness, an alertness, as of one alarmed, that is unique, Raising a Beard. In 1861 he tried to ralse a beard—through the suggestion of a little girl that by doing 80 he might look “less ugly.” For a year and a half he was quite undetermined how to cut that beard. He trimmed it short, then shaved it low, then cropped it quite clore. - Not until 1863 does he seem to have become quite used to it. About 1382 he began definitely to change the parting of his hair from the right side to the left. And though he did this chiefly with his tingers, he seems to have acted with a definite purpose, for it caused a radical change In his appearance, and he persisted in it His face was large in its simple mass Nature seems to have intended him to be ten or twelve feet In helght, and as he failed to grow to that, the free skin settled back to fit the natural man. His head was normal In size; his forehead high, regular, and classical in shape. He was wide through the temples; his brow projected like a clitf. The Lollow of the_eve was large and deep, and the eve seemed to lie in a kind of ravine; it would hardly have been perceptible if you had passed your hand over the ball. His cheek bones were not high; they seemed high because of the careworn flesh that shrank sharply be- reath. Below this, again, the face lost the splendid regularity of the upper part Tle nose ylelded to the constant actlvity of the right side of his face, and was In that direction. The line of the mwouth ran up toward the right side, This becomes very perceptible looks at any of his good, full-face poriraits. Eyebrows and Mouth. His eyebrows were very strong, and hung out over his face like the huge cornice of | 4 mountain bungalow.

Little can be determined about s man by the structure of his nose, nor can his character be fixed because he has a smal) eve or a full one, high cheek bones or yractically none, a full mouth or a small one. But the use he makes of those fea- tures, and the record that use makes dally upon the features and tha whole face, can be read as easily as the headlines of o New York paper. And so I found that the storm center of Lincoln's face was about his right eye. He world peer out at you for an fnstant with this right eye half closed; then would follow that uplift of | eranking | This spring when le | conventent to the operator's foot.

The eye always glves the first evi. dence of humor fn a merry soul; and Lin. coln, I believe, had naturally a merry soul But sadness changed this, and I found evidonce that he smiled very, very often with his mouth alone when his nature took no part in it. Tt was the saddest feature that he had, and yet about the right corner there always lingered a little memory of a smile. The left eye was open, noncommittal, dreamy. The brow seemed ever to ques- tion, and all this side of the face scemed primitive, unfinished. The expression was sad, undetermined, and 1 believe he knew this and that it explains why he managed 80 often to get the photographer to the right side of him. This right side was as cautlous as Cassius, and In profile remark- ably like that of Keats. The profile from the left was pure middle-west plainsman. All expressions of pleasure, when they reached this side of his face, seemed to lose their merriment, and ths habitual lowering of the line of the mouth on this slde accentuated the sadness. Expressions on his face seemed to begin about the left upper brow, travel across to the right eye, down the right side, and stop at the upper Up, or lose themselves over the rest of his tace. Briefly—the right side of this wonderful face Is the key to his lite. Here you will find the record of his development, the centuries-old marks of his maturity, All the man grew to seemed engraved on this side. It guards his plan—watches the world, and shows no morc of his light than his wisdom deems wise. The left side is Immature, plain—and physically not impressive. It is louk, drawn, and in- decisive; and this brow Is anxious, ever slightly elevated and concerned. You will find written on his face literally all the complexity of his great nature—a nature seeing at once the humor and the pathos of each situation as it presents it- self to him. You see half smile, half sad- ness; half anger, half forgiveness; half determination, half pause; a mixture of ex- pression that drew accurately the middle course he would follow—read wrongly by both sides. We see & dual nature struggling with a dual problem, deliver- ing a single result. 1 Along Auto Row || ‘What Dealers Say of the Chicago Show, and What They Expect the Omaba Show, Next Week, to Be The Automobile show is next in order. The dealers have returned from the Chi- cago show and pronounce it the best which has ever been held in this country. About every dealer attended and they have some- thing of interest to say to their customers who will attend the Omaha show next week. Colonel Deright was there and was about the Husiest member of the Omaha delegation. It Is reported that he made a big sale. In the bootlrs where cars represented in Omaha were exhibited were found Omaha deplers. They seemed to be about as im- portant to the place as anyone else. They were endeavoring to sell cars. Last year Fredrickson sold the highest priced Plerce s0ld at the show. Guy Smith was anchored at the Frank- | lin booth, and recelved as many good words about the swell Torpedo cars as the man- ufacturers, Smith only smiled and thanked them. Huffman showed himself at the lner- state booth and declared that the new Tor- pedo cars of that company are the niftiest in the world. He will bring on to the Omaha show the prettiest painted iunch that ever were, he sald. J. T. Stewart represented Omaha in fhe Rambler and Mitchell booth. The Velle people had on exhibit a Mich- igan car, and a very pretty one. Hosford was found there, Freeland & Ashley were at the Midland booth, Corkhill at the Apperson, Louk at tha Marmon, Doty at the Maxwell, Reim at the Cadellas, Wallace at the Stearns, Edwards and Nestman at the Moon, Huff at the Buick and Wilcox and Merz at the National. The Packard people had a beautiful dis- play. Barkalow was there. Drummond was one of the bizzost men that mixed with the throng in the White booth. Henry H. VanBrunt was at the Dvarland booth.

The motor, clutch, transmission and all connections are highly and freecoed in such a manner as to bring out the design, workmanship and material of all Impgriant parts. This affords an opportunity for even the most exacting motorist to determine the quality of ma- terial and workmanship of the most im- portant part of a motor ear—the chassis.
