'b, General. General Wallace has
sn,ot several hours Il day at the harri'
silence talking with the General
or ,be subject OF his life, examining
G,,iIy m rcprls, and giving shape to the
pniminary work.

l,,.i.pa.,ionatcly fond of the national

A;s. n contest II he could possibly be
%n.ant Notwithstanding the eXtraor-
S.co,y demand for rushing his work, the
,ii,inrishr,I author regularly every af-
,S,Uo6n al 8 O'clock tells his steno'
s,,nbrr lla, enough has been done for
,,1t Inv and together they go off to the
I@,.s @ lgI' grounds. The illustrious war
,io,and author watches game with the
@v, ,D,,gyst that he would probably
cYorr in viewing the movements OF an
any in battle. 1t is said that at
ii, home, Charlottesville, Ind, he
!. the principal patron Of an
amateur club, which ranks as one OF the
best in the State League, and he has
never been known to miss game on the
home grounds. General Wallace's plan
Of work in preparing General Harrison,s
biography is somewhat original. All
The information that he can gather in his
hlks with General Harrison or in his
researches for data he has taken down
by his stcnographcr at the time, and
each evening these notes are written
out, He reads these reports through two
or three times, and then, satisfied that
he has in his mind all the facts, with an
idea Ms to Just where and how he will
make use OF them, he throws the steno-
graphic report aside, not TO be taken up
lyain unless it is found that there is un-
ayoilabc need for it. He has already
begun debating the biography and he
expects to have the work completed in
about two weeks.
With the biography out OF the way,
General Harrison willpermit only three
things to occupy his time as matters OF
duty afterwards. These will be his cor
rrspondeucc, his callers and general at
tention to some features OF the campaign
that it will be necessary for him to per-
sonaIIy keep an eye open. He has de-
tcminpd to not permit himself to be
oyerbariehcd with work. In speaking
Of the matter he said: al have been
under extraordinary restraint during
the last few days, and | have been
doing great deal OF work, but |
am now at poiWt where | can see my
way clear, and shall not allow myself
to get more on my hands than can
easily do. ! shall be UP with my cor.
respondencc in u day OF two more, and
then think | may take things a little
easier see the newspapers say | have
been working until II o'clock every
night. That is not true. l never work
