Several years after Mr. Lincoln's death, the incident, by many people considered a myth, became known in detail, and was found to have an exceedingly substantial basis. The little girl in question was Grace Bedell, who lived in Westfleld, Chautauqua County, New York. Her father, who was a stanch Republican, was a great admirer of his party's choice for president in 1860, and one day carried a big campaign poster home with him. On the poster was a picture of Lincoln and Hamlin, around whose faces was an appropriate border of rail fences. Little Grace examined the picture carefully, and then exclaimed: "Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good looking if he had /^Mskers like you, papa"—over whichvopinion the family had a he&rty laugh.
