The original of MY name is Marks.

circumstances in Chicago at the age of
eighty-three. His name is Abraham
Marks. He says that Mrs. Stowe wish
ed to localize Uncle Toms Cabin"
and some one told her he was the only
attorney in the vicinity. Judge Marks
he was made probate judge by
Sam Houston-has had checkered ca
reer. Graduating from Union College
in 1882, he studied law, was admitted
to the bar, and went to New Orleans.
From there he went to Monroe. La,
where he established the Standard.
His conduct of that paper drew him in
to several duels and he was indicted
half a dozen times for libel. In 1887
he met fire-eater named Alexander on
'the field of honor" and escaped with
a bullet through his coat. After this
duel he started for Texas on horseback.
At Houston he met the famous Sam
Houston, then president of the Texan
Republic. Houston made him judge of
the Probate Court at San Antonio. He
remained in Texas a number of years
and then returned to Arkansas. All
his life Judge Marks has been an ac-
tive politician. He was at first a
Whig, but afterwards became Repub-
lican, to which party he has belonged
since it was born, in 1856. He says
that when he was very small child
his parents, who lived at Pensacola.
were intimate with Gen. Jackson's fam
fly, and that he remembers seeing Mrs.
Jackson sit in the chimney corner and
smoke a pipe. He asserts that Henry
Ward Beecher once told him eonfiden-
TALLY that if he could see the man1-
script of Uncle Toms Cabin" he would
see that he (Beecher) had written a
large part Of the book.
