Lincoln took off his hat, and produced a crumpled and not too immaculate scrap of paper from the multitude therein. "Now, Joe," said he, "here are the four questions I intend to ask Judge Douglas. I am ready for you. Fire away." "We don't care anything about the others," answered Mr. Medill. "But I tell you this. If you ask that second one, you'll never see the United States Senate."
There was never sufficient reason for its being. It was both a vanity and a fad. In Hopkinson Smith's "Col. Carter of Cartersville," its real character is hit off to the life. When very early, rather too early, I found myself in the saddle, Bennett and Greeley and Raymond in New York, and Medill and Storey in Chicago, were yet alive and conspicuous figures in the newspaper life of the time.
And I didn't know that I had committed social manslaughter until the colonel exclaimed when we were in the corridor: 'Oh you republicans you republicans, how you do like to show royalty its place!" Medill has another version. He declares that Henry stood the king's obvious ennui as long as he could, then he rose and cried: "O King! live for ever, but Medill and I must pull our freight!"
To this she gives all her time, aided by an executive secretary who takes charge of the routine work of the association. She has thus made it possible for me to give the greater part of my time to the field in which such inspiring opportunities still confront us campaign work in the various states. To Mrs. Medill McCormack also we are indebted for most admirable work and enthusiastic support.
"'Well, no, admitted Sykes; 'I see plenty of pieces, but I guess that dog as a dog, ain't of much account.

It did not fall to me because of an illness, but a few days later it fell to Henry and Medill to see a real king at Udine.
He has a domestic roadster now, will have a French roadster if he lives long enough, and doubtless a Chinese tank if it comes into fashion. He looks like the advertisement of the young man rubbing his sunset-colored chest with liniment and goes East every other year to his class reunion. I want you to meet his Love. Her name is Betty Medill, and she would take well in the movies.
"And the Republican party in this state will have had a blow from which it can scarcely recover," added Mr. Judd, chairman of the committee. Mr. Lincoln did not appear to hear them.
