But, my brethren," he conclude! fervently, "let us all hope for better things." I went down on the same train with Lincoln when the battlefield of Gettysburg was dedicated. The day, November 19, 1803, was overcast and dreary. The morning was spent In Inspecting the late battle ground. In the afternoon a comparatively small crowd gathered around a plank platform thirty or forty feet square, about three or four feet above the ground. There were seats on this for the delegations and speakers. Edward Everett was chosen orator of the day, and he held forth for over an hour in a most masterful oration. I remember that he had a little high table before him on which were cards containing notes, and he referred to him QThe Lincoln I Kneru 4j lold by an fig ad Westerner lo UABEL SHERMAN in Colhmr'i IflKST the saw Abraham Lincoln In 1803, when I mnde a trip to East from California via the Isthmus of Panama.

YOUNG CALVES LIKE GRAIN GROUND FINE PS Jf f J 7 f wA ,V'S - 1 The kind and amount of grain fed a young calf has much to do with Ita vigor and growth. Most calves will get Interested In the grain box when two or three weeks old. Grain is a cheaper feed than whole milk so the calf should be encouraged to eat It at an early age. About the time the change Is made from whole milk to skim milk, some grain should be placed before the calf. If grain is left In the feed box all the time, It Is likely to become stale. Calves should have only what they will clean up In one feeding. Feeding grain immediately after the skim milk will help to prevent calves from sucking eacli other. Young calves prefer grain finely ground, hut older calves like it coarse ly ground. After the calves are two or three months old, whoie grains may be satisfactorily fed. A calf will con sume two to three pounds of grain daily when three months old if fed twice a day. and usually more If al lowed grain at will. Such feeds as corn, oats, liaiiey and katir are excellent calf feeds. A good mash can be made from equal parts of round corn and oats. Wheat bran may be substituted for ground oats If oats are not available. Equal parts of bran, ground corn and outs make a good feed. Oilmeul added to the ra tion tends to keep the calves sleek and in good condition. Calves will begin to eat small quan tities of hay about the time they take n interest in the grain. For calves eight to ten weeks old, red clover or mixed hay is recommended in preference to alfalfa hay, due to the latter often causing intestinal trouble. Le gume hays are very pr.latable and contain a large amount of protein and mineral matter which are necessary for growing animals. Good quality corn silage may be fed when the calf is three months old or older. Only the finer parts of fresh sllace should be fed. Do not allow It to lie around in the manger until spoiled. these from time to time with no In-terruptlon or pause in his speech. When he had concluded the band played and then, without announce ment, Lincoln arose. He laid his coat off, but retained the familiar shawl about his shoulders. I sat but a few feet away, on his right. He began by stating facts facts with which we were all familiar. His sentences were short. and I had the impression that sometimes their briefness was due to the fact that emotion choked his utter ances. It was one of those times when he seemed weighed dowa by his re sponsibilities, and his voice was fairly pathetic In Its Intonations. Everyone listened attentively, but It then did not seem a remarkable speech, and we were all fairly surprised when he sat down. The audience broke up without expression or demonstration, but I was conscious that Lincoln's remarks had made a tremendous Impression. Discussed Possible Danger. During the last two years of the war I went In and out of tha White House at will. I usually found Lincoln In his own room on the second floor in the southeast corner of the build' lng. In warm weather the door stood open and anyone could go In unan nounced. I was accustomed to doing so. Seated at his desk In the farther end of the room, but not facing the door, more with his back to It, I gen erally found him. He always arose and gave me a cordial welcome. On one of those days when I went unannounced I saw a look of distress on bis face s"uch as I bad never seen on any human countenance. I stood still, not wishing to disturb him. Sud denly he saw me and swiftly the look of pain passed as he greeted me with his usual smile. I stayed with htm a long time that day and we went over the war maps. It was then I took oc casion to mention my fears for him I had gained access to bla room so easily and anyone else might have done the same. He listened silently, as he alwaya did, but did not seem to be Impressed with my plea. When I had finished he said : "When I Drat came here, I made up my mind that I would not be dying all the while." He was thoughtful for a moment, then continued : "I have ob served that one man's life Is as dea to lilm as another's, and he could not expect to take my life without losln his own." Then, as an afterthought "Besides, If anyone wanted to, fa could shoot me from some window as I ride by daily to the Soldiers' home. But I do not believe It Is toy fate to die In this way." This conversation took place just about a year before he was assas- well-know- n slacte't I waa one of the last to sea Preal dent Lincoln alive. It was In the afternoon of the fatal April 14th that Schuyler Colfax and I went together to Wlllard's hotel to see him to protest against an order Issued by a general the day before, Mr. Colfax had hardly launched Into the subject when Mr. Lincoln Inter rupted him with : "I have already changed the order." We departed, and that night I went to New York. While I waa on the train I was awakened and learned ! that the beloved President had beea shot.
