<h3>WHY SO MANY COMMON PEOPLE.</h3>
<p>Like another Daniel, Lincoln interpreted dreams. He said that he had
one in this guise:</p>
<p>He imagined he was in a great assemblage like one of his receptions
multiplied. The mass described a hedge to let him pass. He thought
that he heard one of them remark:</p>
<p>"That is a common-looking fellow!"</p>
<p>To whom Lincoln replied--still in the dream:</p>
<p>"Friend, the Lord loves common-looking people--that is why He made
so many of them."</p>
<p>(NOTE.--Another current saying substitutes "the poor" for "common.")
