'That pre-eminent figure tinetivbly American character the country has produced-bas been so covered over with speethes and es says, and books and writings and jutterances of every kind, that he has come to be mimost like a Russian ikon, where the representation of Jesus is subordinated and almost extinguished by the layers of om» mentation. Notwithstanding the mass of verbiage which might well on the popular imagination and his 4 influence upon our national charmcter jare greater than ever they were, and grow steadily all the time. As are sult there is today a very earnest j desire on the part of all Amer tcans to know just what kind of a person Abrabam Lincoln really was. So It is that Min. Irving Bachelfer's 'i new novel, \A Man for the Ages.\ is 'l exceedingly welcome. This brilHant volume answers the general demand for a true and engaging description of Lincoln as a fellow-buman. Et is just «this that we must know if we are to comprehend why he was able .to do the mighty work he accompEBish \led and why we who live today aro [so attracted to him. For the source *I of Lincoln's power and tho basic rea- son for the amazing vitality of his in fluence are to be found in the marener of map he was. Mr.' Bacheller bas brought us £nto personal contact with him. Thro®gh [bis charming pages we walk side by side with Lincoln, and take part in bis dally life. We are made to do this in such fashion that, in the most natural manfer possible, and utterly without effort, wo feel that we know bim as intimately and fmm lHariy as did the men, women and children among whom he spent those formative years with which Chis bad fits novel deals so vividly. so entranct1g \No.\ replied the boy: \them's ly. syunastics.\ The pertod of Lincoln's life thus \Ab. how sad.\ said the mani depicted wore the two decades fron \How long's she bad 'om'\-Lo#-fhis twenty-second to bis forty second doo Ideas. * 'Fyear The story begins with the migration of a typical New Engtamnd prairies,. and the description of the Fjourney of this plonser fammily is of bistortc interest Too much emphasis cammot be laid upon this feature of Mr. Bacheller'a book. since this pion eer family, consisting of Sam Tray lor, bis wife and two childrens, wras typical of those who built up this couniry apd formed, through the gears, our peculiarly and distinctive ly Awericun character.

From this time forward in the story the bony, awkward giant continuous Iv appears, alware doing something holpful; always sympathetic. always stanch, always keenly intelligent. F, in any other narrative, the humorous stories which Lincoln told and neat Jy all of which he invented have been set out in so natutal and captivating & manpber we do not at the moment re. li such a narrative.\ ** Completely as Lincoln dominates the story, other characters are at. set forth.

Lincoln becomes a candidate for the legislature and is elected. The description of the young legislator buying a new suit of clothes in Springfield gives us more of the real Lincoln than many chapters which history has filled with heary ae In this conmection it should be re marked that, for historical fidelity with brevity of statement, a single page of Mr. Bacheller's novel gives ong of the best delineations of Springficlé in the middle thirties to be found any where. Throughout the entire book the motes of sadness and humor sound constantly together as they did in Lincoln's life. It is with pathos of the finest, purest quality that the story of Ann Rutledge is told. Her hopslesa love for the handsome, worthless young McNéfl, Lincoln's devotion to her which, thinking him- self unworthy, be concealed until he was certain that Aon's lover never would come back to her and that she was dying of a broken heart; his mojest, self-deprecatory. and - yet frank and forthright declaration of bis feeling; the young woman's grate ful appreciation and earnest effort ta conjure In ker heart such an affec tton foy him as she felt a woman must hold for the man she takes for mer husband; and.

It Is of course possible-but only ba rely possible-for Europeana to compre. hend the character of Washington; bust It in out of the queition for any but an American to understand ather John Marshall or Abraham Lincofn.
