Al church sat within her pew,
Oh Pew,
But there | heard
No piOus word
| saw alone her eyes OF blue.
saw her bow her head so gracious,
Oh Gracious!
The choir sang,
The organ rang
And seemed to ill the building spacious.
could not hear the gospel lore
Oh Lore!
My future bride
Was by my side
| found all else mighty bore
And when pealed forth the organs thunder
oh Thunder!
fixed my eyes
In mute surprise,
On her whose beauty was wonder.
To me that maiden was most dear,
Oh Dear,
And she was mine,
JOY too divine
For human words TO picture here.
Her love seemed like prayer TO bless ne
Oh bless Me-
Before she came
Nv life was tame.
Nv rarcst joys could but Cypress me.
The service done, we sought the shore
Oh Shore
And there we walked
And sadly talked
More sadly talked than e'er before.
I thought she was the type of goodness
oh Goodness
But on that day
heard her say
Plain words whose very tones was rudeness.
We strayed beyond the tide-mil's dam
Oh DAM
She Tilted me
And now see
That woman's love is all sham,

out of his trouble. He always appeared for
the defence, always succeeded IN winning his
case but never charged for his services. 1t
has been said frequently by the best lawyers
he ever came in contact with, that he would
have stood IN the front rank of the ablest
members of the bar of this state, had he made
the practice IA litc.wOrk. The Sycam ore
TyWe ReDUb!ic0H once sand Of him that he
was one of the first men N the State. having
the brain of "a philosopher and the energy OF
Il steam engine.
Mr. Steward has managed his farms and
carried on other extensive business affairs
with rare skill and success, and now is one
of the wealthiest men in the state. lie has
ALWAYS prospered and has always been liber-
al in his benefactions. Hundreds OF young
men have been "set on their feet" by him,
and his home has always been open to well
come the deserving, whether Of high or low
degree His money is always free TO sustain
schools, churches and other Commendab!e
public enterprises.
Mr.. Steward was Democrat previous to
the rebellion, but entered into the war with
great yigor and earnestness He was ready
10 assist IN the equipment OF soldiers, with
his practical advice and means, and be has
no more earnest friends in the country Than
the soldier boys.
In 1865 he was appointed drafting commits
sioner for Kendall county, by Gov. ates.
He was elected supervisor from his town as
often as he could be induced to accept, al.
though the Republicans had Il majority OF
over four to one in that township. lie has
been importuned for years to stand as can
didate for the Legislature and for Congress,
but would not consent to be candidate,
though his election was assured.
He is pre-eminently OF the people in all his
sympathies, acts and aspirations. His nom
ination came TO him unsolicited and in spite
of the politicians, not one of whom worked
to bring it about. If elected, he goes into
Office untrammelled, and will be free to carry
out Just such measures as will best subserve
the interest of the masses. While he was
connected with the manufacture OF the Marsh
Harvester he always tried to do away with
agencies that stood between the manufaCtur
er and the farmer, and to sell direct to the
latter from the shows, and at a great saving
to the purchasers While he had controlling
interests in the Plano shops, lie sold machines
$50 less than others, and would almost make
new machine by repairs on an old one
without extra charge. Mr., Stewards connec-
ton with the railroad is fully explained In
his interview published in the Chicago Times
of Feb. 2lst, and the pamphlet 10 which
he therein refers, being a movement entirely
in the interest of the producer and consumer,
and opposed to the present railroad monopo-
lies.
Mr.. Steward stanas above reproach among
his neighbors and acquaintance, without
respect 10 politics or religion,

Lewis Steward was born in Wayne County,

ers side of John Rodgers, the martyr Is of
revolutionary stock on ms fathers side; his
father Marcus Aurlicas Steward, was a ma
tive OF Connecticut, and died two years ago
AT Plano. Lewis is the eldest of seven chill
dren, five of whom were boys, all Of whom
are now in active business life and men of
high character and ability. Lewis learned
his alphabet before he was 20 months old,
and attended school in log school house one
mile from his home, before he was tour years
of age. \ lady once met HIM on his way to
school alone ana carried him back to his
home, being unable to believe that he was
out with the consent of his parents, while so
young.
He got very little schooling previous TO his
parents removal to Illinois, thirteen years
after his birth, being compelled to work in
the house at knitting, sewing, AID cooking,
while very young, and afterwards kept in the
fields blowing, etc. His grandfather was an
associate of Daball, author OF the once popu.
lar arithmetic, and once beat the author IN a
contest of figures Mathematics came easy
To all his descendants, Lewis being AT home
in any branch of that intricate science.
In 1888 the Steward family moved 10 Hi
noIs, where the father bought claim Of Da
yid Matluck, now pastor Of a church at st
Charles, Kane county, Ill. The clam cover
ed most Of the present site of the village OF
Plano and included portion of the magnif
cent farm and park now occupied by Mr.
Steward. II was on this farm that the wheat
was raised that Mr.. Steward helped TO stack
and haul to Chicago, and which, he says, 10
his speech before the Cheap Transportation
Committee, al Chicago, last December, wa:
the first wheat that left the Chicago market
for the East Mr.. Steward worked on his
fathers farm and in his aw-mill, alter com

attended school for a few months; became
however, very proficient IN the common
branches then taught, having mastered Da
balls arithmetic in two months nj the age OF
70 years. He mastered surveying, geometry
trigonometry and other branches of science
without an Instructor while working In his
fathers saw-mill.
At the age of seventeen he commenced the
study Of law, upon the earnest solicitation OF
the late Judge Helm, and became conyesant
with that entire course of study, while run
ming the saw-mlll. Judge Helm furnished
him the books. lie was afterwards admitted
10 the bar of Illinois, bpt never entered upon
