For some reason they stopped within our 'view for several minutes, and as we watched -them, Mr. Lincoln laughed softly, and he told me story that has been often related. I This reminds me of he said. He was always eager, when he saw marching troops, to know what state they came from- Once as we were driving In Washington, our carriage was stopped by a body of troops crossing a corner.

It's a Regiment le I In his eagerness to know from where they hailed, father opened the door and stepping halfway out, shouted to a group of workmen standing close by, What is that, boys," meaning where did they come from One short little red-haired man, with a typical Irish face, affixed him with a withering glance and retorted, It's a regiment, you damned old foot" 'In a Et of laughter, father closed the door, and when his mirth had somewhat subsided, turned to me and said, Bob, it does a man good sometimes to hear the truth."
