The following story of the intimac
ami regard that existed between Lit
coin and Maj Gen Denle] L Sickle
*? is told by the General himself at
recent afternoon reception given b
Princess Balm-Balm in her apartment?
at the hotel (Cambridge :
"At a luncheon given by me to Prei
nient Lincoln in camp," said Genors
Sickles, "I noticed that the Presiden
was suffering from one of those mol
aiieholy mouds that sometimes attacl
men of strong purpose and abundan
native wit. After trying in^very wa;
that I could to dispel the gloom;
thoughts that weighed so heavily upoi
the Prosldent'l mind I at last propose?
to the women that they should drav
up a line and kiss him. They raterai
heartily Into the j .ko, but no one seem

if you will but intimate ever so slight
Iv your intention I am sure Lincoln will
do all in his power 11 overooBM the
difficulty.'
'? p is needle-s to say, " continu, d tin
Generad, "that the idea succeeded. In
fact, it worked like a charm, and thr
sv men were not only amply rewarded
for their charming bravery, but tho en?
tire camp fell with a renewed foreethe
power and charm concealed in a woman's
' '1 hat night the President mentioned
the kissing episode to Mrs. Lincoln.
?Who wero they?' asked Mrs. Lincoln.
?The Princess Salm-Salm and other
eli inning women, 'replied the President.
'Ah!' said she who from this moment
was a stanch enemy of the Princess,
'what could you expoct r "Tin se wo"
men are all circus riders.' "
"Hence" said the General, "the ori?
gin of the story that the Princess
Beim Salm began her carrer as a circus
rider.
''Soon after this event in the camp 1
dined with President and Mrs Lincoln,
and was greatly discomforted by the
frigid deine, nor of my hostess, thatsbe
maintained a?, inst every attempt the
President made to restore peace between
us, for Mrs. Lincoln was not yet able
to forgive me for my sin against her In
being instrumental in bringing the
camp kissing
" Finally, almost in despair, Lincoln
turned to me, and in his quiet way re?
marked, 'I am told. General, that you
are an extremely religious man. '
?? 'I am entirely undeserving of the
credit,' I replied.
? ? -I believe, continued Mr. Lincoln,
that you are not only a groat Psalmist,

IfTY \
YEARS
OLD
Why let your neighbors
know it?
And why give them a
chance to guess you are even
five or ten years more?
Better give them good
reasons for guessing the
other way. It is very easy;
for nothing tells of age so
quickly ss gray hair.
Aycp's

Vigor
Is a youth-renewer.
It hides the age under s
luxuriant growth of hair the
color of youth.
It never fails to restore
color to gray hair. It will
stop the nair from coming
out siso.
It feeds the hair bulbs.
Thin hair becomes thickhair,
and short hair becomes long
hair.
It cleanses the scalp; re?
moves all dandruff, and
prevents its formation.
We have a book on the
Hair which we will gladly
send you.
