A POSITIVE and PERMANENT CURE FOR anecdotes and jokes. He was not unaware of the oddity of his figure and the characteristics of his face. He came of a lanky race, gaunt, powerful people, and capable of great endurance. Their hard lives were not conducive to grace of figure or motion and their faces were often seamed and strongly marked. Climate, toll and improper or insufficient food had much to do with giving to the western and southern pioneers the peculiarities of form and action and the facial markings which Identified them geographically as easily as did their speech. Lincoln never was ashamed of these things at least he never changed his habits when he came Into national prominence, but his continuance of them did not arise from affectation. They were natural to him and he was not willing to have one set of manners for Washington and another for the people back In Illinois. That he was careless of his appearance there was no doubt. When he sat for a photographer he never straightened his tie or smoothed his unkempt hair, but, like Cromwell, told the picture man to take him as he was. He knew that a portrait of a "slicked up Lincoln, as he would have said, would not have been recognized in Springfield, and he didnt want them to think he was putting on airs because they had elected him to the presidency.

Sunken blue eyes; his nose long, large and blunt, the tip of It rather ruddy and slightly awry towards the right hand side; his chin, projecting far and sharp, curved upward to meet a thick, material lower lip, which hung downward; his cheeks were flabby, and the loose skin fell In wrinkles or folds; there was a large mole on his right cheek and an uncommonly prominent Adams apple on his throat; his hair was dark brown in color, stiff, unkempt, and as yet showing little or no sign of advancing age or trouble; bis complexion was very dark, his skin yelIn leathery. low, shriveled and short, to use the language of Mr. Herndon, "he was a thin, tall, wiry, mail," - 'looking grisly, His countenance was haggard and careworn, exhibiting all the marks of deep and protracted suffering. Every feature of the man the hollow eyes, with the dark rings beneath; the long, sallow, cadaverous face, Intersected by those peculiar deep lines; his whole air, his walk, his long, silent reveries, broken at long intervals by sudden and startling exclamations, as if to confound an observer who might suspect the nature of his thought showed he was a man of sorrows not sorrows of today or yesterday, but long treasured and deen bearing with him raw-bone- snake. Tall, strong, lithe and smiling, Abe tolled on as a farm laborer, mule driver, sheep feeder, deer killer, woodcutter, and, lastly, as boatman on the waters of the Wabash and the Mississippi. Another English writer in describing the president Is still more realistic than his countryman when he says: "To say that he Is ugly Is nothing; to add that his figure Is grotesque is to convey no adequate impression. Fancy a many six feet high, and then out of proportion; with long bony arms and legs, which somehow seem to be always In the way; with great rugged, furrowed hands, which grasp you like a vise w'hen shaking yours; with a long enaggy neck and a chest too narrow for the great arms at Its side. "Add to this figure a head cocoanut shaped and somewhat too small for such a stature, covered with rough, uncombed and uncombable hair, that stands out in every direction at once; a face furrowed, wrinkled and Indented, as though It had been scarred by vitriol; a high, narrow forehead; and sunk deep beneath bushy eyebrows two bright, dreamy eyes that seem to gaze through you without looking at you; a few irregular blotches of black bristly hair in the place where beard and whiskers ought to grow; a close set, thin lipped, stern mouth, with two rows of large white teeth, and a nose and ears which have been taken by mistake from a head twice the d size. "Clothe this figure, then, in a long, tight, badly fitting suit of black, creased, soiled and puckered up at every salient point of the figure (and every point of this figure is salient), put on large, boots, gloves too long for the long, bony fingers, and a fluffy hat, covered to the top with dusty, puffy crape; and then add .to this an air of strength, physical as well as moral, and a strange look of dignity coupled with all this grotesqueness, and you will have the Impression left upon me by Abraham Lincoln." Ward Lamon, who knew him intimately, goes more into details. He says: Mr. Lincoln was about six feet four Inches high, the length of his legs being out of all proportion to that of his body. When he sat down in a chaih he seemed no taller than an average man, measuring from the chair to the crown of his head; but his knees rose high in front, and a marble placed on the cap of one would roll down a steep descent to the hip. He weighed about 180 pounds, but he was thin through the breast, narrow across the shoulders, and had the general appearance of a consumptive subject. Standing up, he stooped slightly forward; sitting down, he usually crossed his long legs or threw them over the arms of the chair as the most convenient mode of disposing of them. His "head was long and tall from the base of the brain and the eyebrow; his forehead big and narrow, but inclining backward as it rose. The diameter of his head from ear to ear was 614 inches and from front to back eight inches. His ears were large, standing out almost at right angles from his head; hla cheek bones high and pain. He was a plain, homely, sad, weary-lookinman, to whom ones heart warmed involuntarily, because he seemed at once miserable and kind. James B. Fry, who became intimately acquainted with Lincoln early in the latters political career, says: Lincoln was tall and thin; his long bones were united by large jolrfts and he had a long neck and an angular face and head. Many likenesses represent his face well enough, but none that I have ever seen do justice to the awkwardness and ungainliness of his figure. His feet, hanging loosely to his ankles, were prominent objects, but his hands were more conspicuous even than his feet due perhaps to the fact that ceremony at times compelled him to clothe them In white kid gloves, which always fitted loosely. Both in the height of conversation and in the depth of reflection his hand now and then ran over or supported his head, giving his hair habitually a disordered aspect. His expression in repose was sad and dull, but his humor, at short intervals, flashed forth with the brilliancy of an electric light. I observed but two well defined expressions in his countenance; one that of a pure, thoughtful, honest man, absorbed by a sense of duty and responsibility; the other, that of a humorist so full of fun that he could not keep it all in. His power of He strengthened every analysis was wonderful. case he stated and no anecdote or joke ever lost force or effect from his telling. Apropos of his large feet there is an anecdote told of Lincoln when he was in the legislature: He had walked his hundred miles to Vandalia, In ' 1836, as he had in 1834, and when the session closed he walked home again. A gentleman of Menard county remembers meeting him. and a detachment of the long nine on their way home. They were all mounted except Lincoln, who had thus far kept up with them on foot. If he had any money he was hoarding it for more Important purposes than that of saving leg weariness and leather. The weather was raw and Lincolns clothing was none of the warmest Complaining of being cold to one of his companions, this Irreverent member of the "long nine told his future president that it was no wonder that he was cold there was so much of him on None of the party appreciated this the ground. homely joke at the expense of his feet (they were doubtless able to bear it) more thoroughly than Lincoln did. We can imagine the cross fires of wit and humor by which the way was enlivened during this cold and tedious journey. The scene was certainly a rude one and seems more like a dream than a reality, when we remember that It occurred not many years ago, In a state which now contains hardly less than three millions of people and 7,600 miles of railway. Cassius M. Clay In describing an address which .he delivered at Springfield in 1856 says: "Lincoln and Browning lay upon the ground whittling sticks and heard me throughout with marked attention. Hurrying on to my appointments, I saw him ihen no more. I never shall forget his long, ungainly person and plain but even then sad and thoughtful Unjustly Accused. Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in New York, talked about the Scotch dialect. "Its a hard lingo to understand, he said. It often causes awkward mistakes. Once an American divine spent Christmas in a Hilghland inn. On Christmas morning he gave the maid a tip of a sovereign, and he said, looking earnestly at her for she was a pretty maid; Do you know, Kathleen, you are a very good looking lassie? Of course Kathleen was pleased, but, being modest, she blushed like a rose and answered; Ah, na; ah, na! . But my kissln, sir, is beautiful! The divine frowned. Leave the room, you wicked young baggage! he said sternly. "He didnt know', you see, that modest Kathleen had been simply praising in her Highland dialect the of her cousin Janet of -- Peebles.7' m He Knows His Time Table. and waited for a car in a Boston suburb and no car came.

City woe-struc- suaded the people that he was one of them the moment he made his appearance on the platform his homeliness and his intimate and apt use of the simple speech they could understand. There are anecdotes which are Intended to show that even la a community of persons not noted for manly beauty he was considered the reverse. Yet, although this was the subject of Jests at his expense, no one thought any the less of him for it. This homeliness -- call it ugliness if you will of his face, the awkwardness of his form, and the ungatnliness of his gestures and attitudes seemed to the people to go naturally with his goodness of heart and the simplicity of his nature. In their eyes when advocating the cause of the oppressed and when opposing the forces which would destroy the nation he became to many positively handsome. As years afterward one old man who knowed him said: Lots of 'em will tell you he was homely. Seems to me thats about all some folks around here has to tell about Abraham Lincoln. Yes, I knowed him. they say. He was the homeliest man in Sangamon county. Well, now, dont you make no mistake. The folks that dont tell you nuthln but that never knowed Mr. Lincoln.

The month after his first election the publication Once a Week in London printed the following personal sketch of Lincoln: "Abraham Lincoln Is a gaunt giant more than six feet high, strong and long limbed. He walks slow, and, like many thoughtful men (Wordsworth and Napoleon, for example), keeps his head Inclined forward and downward. His hair is wiry black, his eyes are dark gray, his smile la frank, sincere and winning. Like most American gentlemen, he Is loose and careless in dress, turns down his flapping white collars, and wears habitually what we consider evening dress. His head is massive, his brow full and wide, his nose large and fleshy, his mouth coarse and full; his eyes are sunken, his bronzed face Is thin and drawn down into strong corded lines, that disclose the nmehinery that moves the broad Jaw. This great leader of the Republican party this abolitionist this terror of the Democrats this honest old lawyer, with face half Roman, half Indian, so wasted by climate, so scarred by a lifes struggle, was born in 1809 in Kentucky. Hts grandfather, who canto from Virginia, was killed by the Indians. His father died young, leaving a widow and several children. They removed to Indiana, Abe being at the time only six years old.
