riOHAIiIA' not ono In ten thousand
of tho present-day admirers of
Abraham Lincoln are aware that
there Is yet standing In a perfect
Btato of preservation a modest
framo cottage which served as the
Bummer homo of the martyr prcsl
dent durlns his administration.
Many readers, no doubt, aro un
aware that Lincoln had any other
homo than the White House nt
Washington during the long period
of Etraln and strife, and yet as a
matter of fact hadMt not been for
the rest and relaxation afforded by
his sojourns at this modest subur.
ban retreat It is doubtful If Lin
coln could have met tho exactions
of that trying half-decade without
iinvine the nenalty of nervous col-
lapso long before tho close of the war.
The Lincoln summer cottaso has a certain added
significance) when considered In connection with tho
project which has several tlmeti been broached In
recent years to provldo tho President of the. United
Statea with n permanent summer home. It may bo
remombered that only last win

to havo congress appropriate
money for tho purchase or erec

and then when this schemo fell
through various summer resort
communities all over tho coun

donato summer presidential
homes, freo of expenso to the
nation, If only they bo given as
surance thnt such gift would
receive official sanction and
designation us the "summer
White Houbo."
Yet oddly enough nil tho tlmo

project for a summer Whlto

for PreBldcnt Lincoln and which has sluce Btood

though nono of our later presidents have availed
themselves of tho privilege. To bo sure, this
summer cottago Is not located in tho mountains
or at tho seashore but on tho contrnry Is pic
turesquely situated in "the environs of Washing

all of our Presidents 'have subscribed to the

tho building is a framo

n most bcutlful park, was Invested with, tho dig
nity of a i residential summer homo. It was evi
dent, of ourse, that the progress of tho war
would prcent President Lincoln from nbBcntlng
himself Pom the capital for even a brief vaca
tion, nnd yet It wns equally manifest that IiIb
health would Buffer unless he had some relief
from the tropical heat that besets the city on tho
Potomac in summer. It wns General Scott, him
aeir, who brought to tho attention of tho presi
dent the charms of tho beautiful suburban cot
tage, Bet on n hill overlooking the city nnd sur
rounded by a veritable forest. President Lincoln
forthwith fell under the ppell of tho romantic
spot and removed his family from tho Whlto
House to tho newly-discovered retreat.
From this tlmo until his untimely death Lin
coln spent each summer at the cottage on the
heights. ' It was his custom to drlvo Into Wash
ington each morning from the cottago nnd after
spending tho day at his ,Jfllcc in the Whlto House
to drlva back to tho cottago at night, but thoro
wore, of course, ..pccnslonal days when ho ro

There aro many remlndcis of tho Immortal L n
coin In this locality. Not far distant Is tho Bite

while a spectator in the trenchcB during n spirit

forces. Yet near at hnnd, in the cemetery con
nected with tho Soldiers' Home, is a handsorno
Lincoln memorial rostrum, which Is tho scene of
tho exercises which aro held at this cemetery on
each recurring Memorial Dny, and at which the
President of tho United States Is often n spenker.

coln cottago bo torn down In order to mako ubs

buildings which havo from tlmo to tlmo been
erected to accommodate tho increasing member

much sentiment has always been aroused against
such action that tho schemo has always been
abandoned nnd other sites selected.
