into an immense receptacle, where
they are broken, and by centrifugal
operation the white and yolk are sep

liquid honey is separated from the

heat, by patent process, and the dried
article is left resembling sugar; and II

circumstances. l had small room
attached to my store-room, where l
had bed, desk, and stove, and he
spent his evenings and lodged with
me. We had formed lyceum that
fall, and met every week in the school
house. In this lyceum Douglas made
the first speech he ever made in 1lll-
noise. In the spring Of 1884 he went
to Jacksonville and was admitted to
the bar. Samuel D. Lockwood, Judge
told him he would sign the certificate,
but he must apply himself closer to
the study Of the law. AS he would
not commence the practice of the law,
he wished him to help him to a posi-
ton in company, with Josiah Lamborn
a prominent young lawyer then there,
afterwards Attorney General for
| Illinois under Governor Carlin or Ford,
Lamborn refused to take him i'm COM

not know enough law to write out a
declaration, and he wanted some one
familiar with law books. told Lam

rented a room and chung out his shin

l thought he would. Jacksonville
then had as able bar as now. In
politics they were all, or nearly all,
Wings, while majority of the voters
of Morgan county (Scott and Cass
counties were then in Morgan) were
Democrats, and they were without a
leader. Douglass saw his opportunity
and it was not long before he had the
party so organized that it looked tc
