For this is Lincoln's birthday. llut let ns go back to another Lincolns birthday . , . to February 12, UGl. A short, little locomotive with a flat topped smokestack. Is pairing along the single track that winds among the hills of Ohio. Hack there in one of the .wooden coaches a tall, gaunt man sits by a window gazing out over the bleak winter landscape. Yesterday he had stood on the rear platform of a train at the brie k railway station in Spring-fiel111. A crowd of nearly a thousand people, silent, bareheaded in the cold, drizzle of rain, tad listened to these words: Friends, no one who has never been placed In a like position can understand my feelings at this hour nor the oppressive sadness I feel at this parting. For more than a quarter of a century I have lived among you, and during all that time I have received nothing but kindness at your hands. Here I have lived from my youth till now I am an old man. Here the most sacred trusts of earth were assumed; here all my children were born; nnd here one of them lies buried. To you, dear friends, I owe all that I have, all that I am.

V'fio tin Yes, he is of America of the United States or should he say the Disunited President-elec- t ... States"? Six weeks after his election South Carolina had passed its ordinance of secession. During the next month Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida had followed the Palmetto states lead. On February 4 representatives from these states had met at Montgomery. Ala., and organized the Confederate States of America. Dive more, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas, were almost certain to Join the six that had already departed from the tnion. The future course of three border states," Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, as 'ell as the northern slave state of Delaware, as doubtful. And always In the background loomed the threat of a fratricidal war between the North and the South. So much depended upon what he said and how be said it that he had toiled, night and day, for three weeks over his inaugural address. He wrote it as a composer writes a symphony, says Don Giassman in the Washington Star. He marshaled all the melody In words, all the rhythm of speech and euphony of language to build a monument out of cold syllables He weighed every one on a musical scale, lie employed them as full notes and half notes. He pronounce each word separately and feel convinced of its necessity both as to thought cd style By the time he finished a sentence It would harbor no contradictory thought or coarse note. The words were riveted together, o that to strike out an adjective or syllable oud upset the thought and leave a gaping hole la tne sentence." Ever s r.ce his e!e tion, his mail had been full of letters bearing southern postmark. Some ere s gnM wph the names and ad iresses of the others were anonymous.

And still another declared: "This is to Inform you that there is a club of 100 young men In this place who have sworn to murder you. It was hard for him to believe that anyone should desire his death. But conviction came at last. More disturbing, though, were the rumors of men in high places who were about to turn traitor to their country and who might hive guilty knowledge of plans for reducing it to a state of anarchy. So he sent the adjutant general of Illinois to Washington to sound out Gen. Winfield Scott, head of the army. Scott was a Virginian and his loyalty was suspected. Back came the reply from that doughty old fighter: Tell Mr. Lincoln that, if necessary. I'll plant cannon at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue, and if any show tholr heads or even venture to raise a finger. I'll blow em to hell But not even such reassurance could bring peace to Lincoln'8 troubled mind. As the train bore him nearer and nearer to the capital and to the day when he would take the oath of office, his despair deepened. To the anxious, listening country his speeches on the journey to Washington were disappointing. writes Nathaniel W. Stephenson in The Chronicles of America."
