Pew have had great er sympathy for those in distress, and his tender heart was constantly | getting him in trouble with the red tape of governmental traditions. One morning he heard a woman cry ing in the hall of the White House. He asked Major Eckert, who was on duty, why she was crying. Major Eckert said she had come to Wash ington expecting to visit her husband, who was in the army, but that a recent order had forbidden any wo | men to visit the army. Lincoln said "Let's send her down, Eckert. You write an order.'' Major Eckert said he had better refer the matter to Col Hardie. Col Hardie was afraid sending her to see her husband would establish a bad precedent. I Lincoln thought a moment and said, "All right, write an order for her husband to report to Washington to see her." General McClellan had great contempt for President Lincoln on account of what he thought was Lincoln's lack of dignity. He referred to him as the "snooping President browsing around to interfere with my plans." When Lincoln would call at MeClellan's headquarters McClellan would frequently keep him' waiting- in his anteroom while he talked with subordinates. The news paper correspondents noticed Mcclellan's contempt and discourtesy and finally one of the newspaper men mentioned it to President Lincoln. Lincoln said. "Yes, I have noticed it; but I will hold McClellan's horse if ha will j only bring1 us victories." On one occasion an officer called at the white house to get some war rants for the execution of a large j number of deserters. Linloln had not signed the warrants and when ! the officer remonstrated by saying | the men should ho made an example of, Lincoln said: "No 1 won't sign them. For God's sake, don't urge me to. There are too many weeping j widows alieady. I won't add to their number." The day after Lincoln was renominated, in lh(>4, a delegation of | Republicans from Philadelphia called j L>n him and introduced an artist who had just finished an oil painting of j the President, by saying. "Mr. Lin- ; ?oln, this gentleman has just paint- j ?d a most beautiful portrait of you." j President Lincoln shook hands warm \y and said, I presume, sir. m painting- your beautiful portrait you took your idea of me from my prin- 1 :ipTr\s ami not from my person.'' When the Rev. Drossier* on Nov. 4, IS42, performed their majrriago ceremony, Lincoln placed the ring jrr his brfcfes finger and sit id.

Lincoln had his own way of inves tigating the records of courtmartiaU j Two men who had; always born a-. j high reputation for integrity, Frank1 lin W.

BY "AMERICA FIRST' "America First" as a slogan is | disturbing to many thoughful EuI ropeans because it sounds the spirj it of "Deutsehland ueber Alles," j which used to come across the 1 Rhine, according to the Rev. j Charles S. Macfarland, General i Secretary of the Federal Council o?' I I the Churches of Christ in America, | who has just returned from a series of religious conferences in Switzeri latld and from a speaking tour covering the larger cities of WestI em Europe. "The American slogan does not carry the same sence of aggressive, rtess," Dr. Macfarland said, "but it j seems to have something of the t same selfishness. It has a bad i sound over there, and for an American to be in Europe at this time is humffiating an?l sometimes almost disheartening. The people of Europe do not know what to make of Americans a-foofness, an attitade in sharp contrast to that we maintained during' the war.
