iO expressions of a natural Im
patience Mr. Lincoln opposed a
placid front, writes Colonel W. IL
Crook In Harper's Magaslna.
Mare than that, he wa. placid.
He knew Secretary .Stanton'. Intense, Ir
ritable nature. He knew how the excite
ment of the time tried men's tempers, and
shattered their nerves. He himself, ap
parently, was the only one who was not to
be allowed the Indulgence of giving way.
So Mr. Stanton's Indignation passed un
noticed. The two men were often at vari
ance when it came to matters of discipline
in the army. On one occasion, I have
heard, Secretary Stanton was particularly
angry with one of the generals. He was
eloquent about him. "I would like to tell
him what I think of him!" he shouted.
"Why don't you?" Mr. Lincoln agreed.
"Write it all down do.'..
Mr. Stanton wrote hla letter. When It
wa. finished he took It to the president.
The president listened to it all.
, "All right. Capital!" he nodded. "And
now, Stanton, what are you going to do
with it?"
"Do with It? Why. aend it, of course!"
"I wouldn't," said the president "Throw
It in the waste paper basket."

Cox was an uncompromising free trader,
and one of the most Interesting figures In
congress, writes Ida Tarbell In McClure's.
A graduate of Brown, he had first taken
part In public life a. the editor of tho
Statesman of Columbus, O. Here at the
rery start he earned his sobriquet of "Sun
set Cox" by an editorial, which went all
over th. country. "A Great Old Sunset"
it wa. called. It opened, "What a stormfut
sunset was that of last night! How glo
rious the storm and how splendid the set
ting of the sun." Perhaps his most
successful sally at his opponents
waa his resolutions against free sunshine
made when there was a fight on against
lowering the duty on coal:
"Resolved, That all window., skylights,
Insldo and outside shutters, curtains and
blinds shall be permanently closed, as also
all openings, holea, - chinks, clefts and
fissures through which the llsht and heat
of the sun have been allowed to enter
houses to the prejudice and Injury of mer
itorious miners and dealera In ga. coal to
protect domestic Industry."
"For the sun Is a foreigner," explained
Mr. Cox. "He comes from abroad, and
we must shut out the light of the sun In
order to gratify these Pennsylvania gen
tlemen who have a monopoly of thl. ar
ticle of coal."
