First, are all who know from comparisons or through the experiences of friends that Chevrolet provides the utmost dollar value in modern, economical transportation of people or merchandise. Second, the large group of people with modest incomes who have the false impression that so good a car as Chevrolet is beyond their means. They do not realize that due to engineering excellence and full modern equipment, Chevrolet operating and maintenance costs average so low that during the life of the car, it delivers modem, comfortable, fast transportation at the lowest cost per mile, including the purchase price. Third, the smaller but very important group of car owners of ample means, only a small percentage of whom as yet realize that Chevrolet as an extra car virtually costs them nothing, due to the reduction in their transportation expenses effected by it. We respectfully suggest consideration, investigation and comparison of Chevrolet with any other car at any price.

The meeting was the regular monthly session. The Lincoln lKneuj As fold by an Aged Westerner to MA1JBEL SHERMAN in Collier 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 at the Presidents levee, and, of course, I wrote to my family In the West, telling them my Impressions. This letter proves that I, like many others of the time, misjudged the man and surely underrated his abilities: I Last night I was at the Presi- dents levee and saw many of the dignitaries. A few moments ago saw Burnside and at first view was satisfied of his incompetency to command the army. It Is strange that our President and others have so little perception of character. Lincoln Is a Westerner. I good-natur-ed Later at one of the White House receptions Mrs. Cole and I waited In the long line to be received. She somehow dropped one of her white gloves and was not conscious of It until we had moved up and It was our turn to greet the President and Mrs. Lincoln. She stood looking about her In dismay for the missing glove, and the President, seeing what had happened, watched her with an amused 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, coming from a man to whom book etiquette was a thing unknown, proved him to be an Inborn His deportment never missed, because it was the. expression of his friendly feeling for all. He did hot offend because In his heart he felt ho animosity for anyone. Always in consultation he was argumentative, 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. gentleman. His Use of Anecdotes. His profuse use of anecdotes is, of course, a matter of history. I remember one day that Mr. Shannon and I went to see Mr. Lincoln regarding some legislation that concerned California. He could not comply with our wishes In the matter, and In order to let us know that conversation on the subject had terminated, he told us this story : In the early times In Springfield, there were three churches, all orthodox, a Methodist, a Baptist, and a rresbyterian. A young fellow came there very unexpectedly to preach the Universalis doctrine and to establish a church of that faith. That particular creed was very unpopular at that time, and those three orthodox preachers determined to get together and preach him down. They consolidated their congregations and determined to take turns addressing them. 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 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 'WSWWWWWWWSfll, The Countries First Tribute j Salt Lake, 'Senator Reed Smoo has been Governor requested by Charles R.

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 generally 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 face such as I had never seen on any human countenance. I stood still, not wishing to disturb him. Suddenly he saw me and swiftly the look of pain passed as he greeted me with his usual smile. I stayed with him a long time that day and we went over the war maps. It was then I took occasion to mention my fears for him. I had gained access to his room so easily and 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 observed that one mans life Is as dear to him as anothers, 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 daily to the Soldiers home. But I do not believe 1. Is my fate to die In this way."
