<h3>"SUCH A SUCKER AS ME, PRESIDENT!"</h3>
<p>When Lincoln's wife, at his prospect of being United States senator
was on the verge of realization, reminded him of her prophecy, away
back in the fifties, that he would attain the highest niche--the
inevitable feminine "I told you so!" he clasped his knees in keen
enjoyment, and, laughing a roar, cried out:</p>
<p>"Think of such a <i>sucker</i> as me as President!"</p>
<p>But presently, he said with his dry smile: "But I do not pretend I do
not want to go <i>to the Senate</i>!"--(Henry Villard, then newspaper
reporter.)
