He tells me that 12,000 of Lincoln said to young Conwell. “But that doesn't mean anything?whe's the biggest liar in Washington, You can’t believe a word he says. He reminds me of an old fisherman | used to know who got such a reputation for stretching the truth that he bought a pair of scales and in- ted on weighing every fish in presence of witnesse: “One day a baby was born next door, and the doctor borrowed the fisherman's scales to weigh the baby. weighed forty-seven pounds. “Lincoln,” records Dr. Conwell, “threw back his head and laughed; so did 1." When Conwell spoke to the Presi- dent of his appearance on the occasion of his famous Cooper Union speech —he had forgotten to remove from be- hind his ear a long blacklead pencil— Lincoln “‘said that his absentminded- ness on that occasion recalled to him the story of an old Englishman who was so absentminded that when he went to bed he put his clothes care- fully Into the bed and threw himself over the back of his chair."* Lincoln's humor was manifest once more when he started a discussion of farming, explaining that it was his ambition in life to carry on a farm with “Tad” Lincoln as a partner “He said,’ Dr, Conwell recalls, “thet Tad and he were to have mule teams and raise corn and onions. Then he smiled as he remarked, ‘Mrs. Lincoln does not know anything About the plan for the onions,’ The President then asked me if I was a farmer's boy, and when I answered that I was brought up on a farm in the Berk- shire Hills, he burst out into strong laughter and said, ‘I hear that you have to sharpen the noses of the sheep up there to get them down to the grass between the rocks.’ “Lincoln told of a visit Hor- ace Greeley had made to the White House a few weeks before to enlighten the President on ‘What | Know About Farming.’ Lincoln said he half believed the bout Greeloy wherein it that he (Greeley) planted a long row of beans and when in the process of first growth ‘he beans were pushed bodily out of the ground, Greeley concluded that the beans thad made a blun- It Because “the devil cannot vear @ good joke.” could defeat our whole army to-morrow by looking glum ut a re- for three heart doeth good like a medicine. conveys truth in a wey easy to understand, ast p life “corresponding with the enemy"—h ® ” nse of Humor 3 x x Because “T consecutive hours.’ Because “a Because humor disciplines the brings cheer and courage laughter of the great American whose is explained in “Why Lincoln Lincoln book written by one of the few men now living ‘The author, Dr, Russell H.

Ward, not wishing to show the awkwardness he felt, stepped boldly up to an artistocratic lady and sald, “You are a very hand- some .woman!’ The woman took it to be an insulting piece of rude flat- tery and replied, spitefully, ‘I wish I could say the same thing of you!’ Whereupon Ward boldly remarked, ‘Well, you could if you were as big a liar as T am!'" Another story was of Ward's retort to little "Tad" Lincoln, Nad heard somewhere a joke Adam in Eden, a ard, ‘How did A¢ iden?” Ward had never heard the conun- drum and did not give the answer Tad expected, but he had one of his own, for he exclaimed, ‘Adam was “snaked” out!” Lincoln told of repeating to an old lady Ward's story of the lund in Towa ulck vho abou to Mr. get out of he m sv rich that when the farmer threw a cucumber seed as far as he could and started for the house on the run the cucumber vine caught him and he found another seed cucumber in his pocket. “At that,” chuckled Lincoln “the old lady opened her eyes and mouth, but made no remark. Once more | tried her by telling how Ward knew a lady@who went for a porous plaster and the drug- gist told her to place it anywhere ‘on her trunk. Not having a trunk or box in the house, she put it ‘on her bandbox, and the next day reported that it was so powerful that it drew her pink bonnet all out of shape, “That was more than the tious old saint could stand, consele nd after supper she called me aside and told me that I ought to know (hat man Ward, or whoe' it san out-and-out Har.’ And then Lincoln was reminded of what I consider by al! od best 4a the story in “Why Lincoln LA “That makes me think,” he said, “of a colored preacher who worked here on the grounds through the week and who loved the deep waters of theology, in which he floundered daily. One evening | asked him why he did not laugh on Sunday, and when he said it was because it was ‘'suthin friv lus,’ | told him that the Bible said God laughed. ‘The old man came to the door everal days after that and said, ‘Marse Linkum, I've been totin’ dat yar Bible saying ‘God larfed,’ and I've ‘cluded dat it mus’ jes’ tak’ a joke as big as der universe ter mak’ God larf.
