Knox, presi-dent of the Bowery Savings bank, read In a New York paper tlmt Miss Nannette I'revost, nineteen, of Denver, who coliupsed from cold und hunger one night at West Uroadway and Chambers street, was going to stil'k it out in New York even if she starved to death doing It. Anyhow, she wasn't going back to Denver. "That's the sort of girl I like to hear about," said Mr. Knox. So he culled John Macl'herson, head of the hank's personal service department, and told him that he thought somebody ought to do something about it. Mr. Knox and Mr. MacHierson ngreed that It would be a good Idea to see that the girl got a home where she could rest, with good food and plenty of sleep, until she was strong enough to get a Job. Get Her a Job. "And we'll do more than that," suld Mr. Knox. "When she does get strong again we'll see that she gets a job in this bank. There's always a Job for a girl with that nerve." Mr. Macl'herson hurried over to Rellevue hospital, where Miss I'revost pale and thin but pretty, In spite of it, lay on her cot vowing that she would never go buck to Denver. At the hospi-tal they told Mr. Mncl'hersou thut yd) Atifsf SS, km r A Policeman saw Her. two other banks hud beaten him to It and had offered to take care of the, girl. But he outbid them. He got Mrs. Macl'herson on the telephone and she ngreed that their home at 410 Riverside drive was fully big enough to accommodate Miss I'revost for us long as she cared to stay. "Bring her right up," said Mrs. Mac-l'herson. Miss I'revost, however, must stay In the hospital several more days, probably a week, before she can go to Riverside drive, l'hysicians explained that anybody, particularly a woman, who goes without food for three days and wnIRs the streets hunting a Job all thut time, needs a little time to re-gain strength. Was Full of Hops. Miss I'revost, an orphan, came to New York soon after she was gradu-ated from high school In Denver. She left the I'ennsylvaaiu station with $00 In her purse and statements saying thut she was a capable stenographer. She was full of hope. But the $U0 went fast and it seemed that New York had more stenographers, with ex-cellent references, than could be used. The last cent went for a cup of coffee and a roll Sunday morning, and from then until late Tuesday night, when a policeman saw her keel over In n doorwuy she went on her nerve the same nerve that hns gut her a home on Riverside drive and a job when she Is strong again. "I know pretty well how It Is," said Mr. Macl'herson last night, "for I came here from Scotland twenty-eigh- t years ago, when there wasn't a cent more money coming from home. A Broad-way hotel manager they're supposed to be the coldest propositions In the world with the exception of a bank told me I needn't hurry about paying my bill, but to go out and make good. New York won't let anybody starve If It knows It, but the trouble Is that lots of times, as in Miss I'revost's case, New York didn't know about It until It was almost too lute." X Sj v u - I ,.

When It came to the turn of the Methodist preacher he began by telling them how happily situated they were, both In temporal and spiritual things, and then remarked that "there now comes among us a stranger to preach a new doctrine, to establish a new church In which the doctrine will be taught that all men will be saved. But, my brethren," he concluded fervently, "let us all hope for better things." I went down on the same train with Lincoln when the battlefield of Get-tysburg was dedicated. The day, November 10, 1803, was overcast and dreary. The morning was spent in Inspecting the late battle ground. In the afternoon a compara-tively small crowd gnthered 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 The Lincoln IKneiu As told by an Aged Westerner to , MA1.BEL SHERMAN in Collier 't I FIRST saw Abraham Lincoln In March, 1803, when I made a trip to the East from California via the Isthmus of Panama. It was nt the President's levee, and, of course, I wrote to my family In the West, tell-ing them my Impressions. This letter proves that I, like many others of the time, misjudged the man and surely underrated his abilities: Last night I was at the Presi-dent's levee and saw many of the dignitaries. A few moments ago I saw Burnside and at first view was satisfied of his Incompetency to command the army. It Is strange that our President and others hsve so little perception of character. Lincoln Is a good-nature- d Westerner. Later at one of the White House re-ceptions Mrs. Cole and I waited In the long line to be received. She some-how dropped one of her white gloves and was not conscious of It until we hnd moved tip and It was our turn to greet the President and Mrs. Lin-coln. She stood looking ubout her In dismay for the missing glove, and the President, seeing what had happened, watched her with an aroused smile. In a moment he said: "Never mind, Mrs. Cole, I shall have a search made for It tomorrow, and shall preserve It as a souvenir." This remark, coining from a man to whom book etiquette was a thing un-known, proved him to be an Inborn gentleman. His deportment never missed, liecause It was the expression of his friendly feeling for all. He did not ofTend because In his heart be felt no unltnoslty for anyone. Always !n consultation he was argu-mentative, but not dictatorial. He was one of the best of listeners and was always open to conviction, yet If his own reasons were well founded, and no one had a better reason to offer, he could not be moved. But he was never offensively opinionated. His (Jsa of Anecdotes. His profuse use of anecdotes Is, of course, a mutter of history. I remem-ber one day that Mr. Shannon and I went to see Mr. Lincoln regarding some legislation that concerned Cali-fornia, lie could not comply with our wishes In the matter, and in order to let us know that conversatlmi on the subject had terminated, he told us this story : In the early times In Springfield, there were three churches, all ortho-dox, a Methodist, u Baptist, and n Presbyterian. A oung fellow came there very unexpectedly to preach the l'ni ersallsf doctrine and to cs'iihllsh a church of il.at faith. Th.it particular ( d w as ei y in. opi.dar at that time, lei ll'e-- e three iitlicdo preachers leteniiined to p.-- t er and preach these from time to time with no In-terruption 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 begun by stating well-know- n facts facts with which we were all familiar. Ills sentences were short, and I had the impression that some-times their briefness was due to the fact thut emotion choked his utter-ances. It was one of those times when he seemed weighed down 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 ull fairly surprised when he sat down. The audience broke up without expression or demonstration, but I was conscious that Lincoln's remarks hud made a tremendous Impression. Discussed Possible Danger. During the last two years of the war I went In and out of the White House at will. I usually found Lincoln In his own room on the second floor in the southeast corner of the build-ing. In worm weather the door stood open nnd 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 his fuce such as I had 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 pussed as he greeted me with his usuul smile. I stayed with him a long time thut day and we went over the wur ninps. It was then I took oc-casion to mention my fears for him. I hud gained access to his room so easily nnd anyone else might have done the same. He listened silently, as he always did, but did not seem to be Impressed with my plea. When I had finished he said : "When I first 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 dear to him as another's, and he could not expect to take my life without losing his own." Then, as an afterthought: "Besides, if anyone wanted to, he could shoot me from some window as I ride by dally to the Soldiers' home. But I do uot believe It Is my fate to die In this way." This conversation took place Just about a year before he was ossns-slaute- !. I was one of the Inst to see Presi-dent Lincoln ullve. It was In the afternoon of the fatal April 14th that Schuyler Colfax and I went together to Wlllard's hotel to see Il m to protest against un order Issued by s general the day before. Mr. Colfax hud hardly launched Into the subject when Mr. Lincoln Inter-rupted him with: "I have already changed the order." We departed, nnd that night I went to New York. While I was on the train I was awakened and learned that the beloved President had been shot. I t I 77ie Painless One Dinah made up her mind to go to the dentist.

Didn't you see my advertisement outside?" "Well, Bah," said Dlnuh, "yo' may be painless, but Ah Isn't." Had Seen It Before He took her hand In ids und gazed proudly at the engagement ring he had placed on her linger only three days before. "Did your friends admire It?" he In-quired tenderly. "They did more than that," she re-plied, coldly, "two of them recognized If." The Countries j First Tribute j Aw vll ; vim 1 jupJartl MaOtl.ii -- 4 I.
