Two Little Known Stories of Lincoln

Here are two'sweet stories of Abraham Lincoln that have seldom been told.

A delegation of folks from Illinois, good country people, called on Honest Abe at the White House, and the spokesman said:

"\ille want you to know that down our uray we believe in Almighty God and Abraham Lincoln."

"My friends," said the grave Lincoln, "I am sure you are at least half right."

*rl.*

Secretary Stanton, the man who uttered those famous words when Lincoln died-"Now he belongs to the ages" ras a strong-minded person himself, and through the dark days of the Civil War he often disagreed most vioIently with the opinions of Lincoln.

One day Lincoln sent an aide to Stanton with a cpmmunication, and the aide returning, said to Lincoln: "Mr. President, I wouldn't permit any m:rn to talk about me the way Mr. Stanton talks about you."

"Did Stanton criticize me?" asked Lincoln.

"He did, most severely," said the indignant aide.

"And what did Stanton say?" asked the President.

"fle said, 'Lincoln is a damned fool for signing this paper,"' replied the aide.

"Well," said Lincoln with great humility, "If Stanton said that, I must be one, for Stanton is usually right."
