A SHREWU DEVICE.
There Was "A Time When Banking In Ar.
kansas Was Rather Exciting.

Banking In the northern part of Arkan-
sas was hazardous business In the early
days, and i'm some Of the towns where
there are no railway connections 1t Is SO
still.
when we borrowed money for our
bank, said banker TO a representative |
OF The Free Press with whom he was talk |
ing over old times, Il used to go to the |
neighboring town and get the gold. Then
l had TO carry it by stage over the noun
tains 10 our place. OF course l took
mighty good care that no one should
know, if could help 1t, just when was
to make these trips. l also kept it as secret
as possible what my reasons were for go
ing to the other town, talking about mort
| cages, investments, business matters and
everything except transporting gold,
"At first l would take the bag Of gold,
just as it was given me in the bank, put 1t
on the seat of the stage, place IA rug over
1t and use it for pillow, endcavoring to
snatch a little sleep during that long night
ride. One day somehow l got nervous. l

A Playmate Who Saved Him From Death

The child's life during the time the
family lived In Kentucky appears 10 have
been entirely uneyentful. He helped his
mother after he was years old I'm the
simple household duties went TO the dis.
trict school and played with the children
OF the neighborhood The only one of
young Lincoln's playmates now living is
an old man, nearly 100 years old, named
Austin Gollaher whose mind is bright
and clear, and who never tires of telling
OF the days Lincoln and he "were little
tikes and played together" " This old man,
who yet lives in the log house in which he
has always lived a few miles from the old
Lincoln place, tells entertaining stories
about the presidents boyhood.
Mr. Gollaher says that they were togeth-
er more than the other boys in school, that
he became fond of his little friend, and he
believed that Abe thought great deal of
him
In speaking of various events of minor
importance in their boyhood days Mr.. Col
laher remarked, Il once saved Lincoln 8
life. " Upon being urged to tell of the oc-
currence he thus related it: "We had been
going to school together one year, but the

were SO few scholars to attend, there be
