DIDN'T FORGET HIM.
Uncle Jerry RuslS and the Farmer From
the Kickapoo.


Major w. A. Curran of Wisconsin
tells the following story to writer
for the Chicago Times-Herald:
During Rusk's first term as gov
ernor he attended a reunion at Bos-
cobel. / was on the outskirts of the
audience while Uncle Jerry was
making a speech. An old farmer,
appareled with the vintage of many
years before, wearing a slOuch hat
tanned and retained until it looked
like part of a scarecrOw's uniform,
and with long gray whiskers, sham
bled to my side. Il suppose you
know who that is talking, don't
you2"
''Yes, sir. That's Governor Rusk. "
well, you needn't tell me. I
knew Rusk long before you did, but
l don't reckon he'd know me now,
and if he did he wouldn't care to be
seen talking with me-"
/ told him that he was mistaken;
that General Rusk never went back
Oh acquaintance. Then he told me
this story:
lone winter night, pretty early
in the fifties, l heard an OK driver
loudly urging his team down by the
crossing near our house. l was then
living near Kickapoo. 1 said to my
wife: i believe that's some poor
fellow who's got stuck. I'll go and
help him out. When l got there, l
saw young fellow standing in the
water pulling the logs off the sled
to tighten the load so his two yoke
of oxen could pull it up the bank.
I Ioffered to go and help him.
"'Oh, no, he said, 'one of us is
enough to get wet such night as
this. I'll get along all right.
'It was about 9 o'clock when his
load was landed on the bank, and l
said to the driver, You better put
your oxen in my shed and come to
the cabin and stay overnight
''I took care of the cattle and he
went into the house, and when en-
tered there he sat, a great, strap
ping fellow, before the big blaze in
the old fashioned fireplace, warm
ing and drying himself The first
thing he said was: My friend, be
lieve I'm the happiest man in the
United States this minute. I'm glad
accepted your invitation
My wife trotted around and got
him a nice warm supper, and we
gave him the best bed in the house.
That was my first int Ioduction to
Jerry Rusk, who was then the driv-
er of oxen at the munificent price
of 80 cents per day. used to see
him once in while when he was
driving the -Stage from Prairie du
Chen to Viroqua after that, but we
haven't come together for a long
time"
I told the old gentleman that the
governor would know him the min
ute he saw him. He wouldn't be-
heve it. After the meeting was over
number of prominent citizens of
BoscObel and elsewhere were gath
cred about the governor discussing
various questions. l told the old
gentleman to walk past the crowd
and try to catch Uncle Jerry's eye.
/ stood back and watched the prog
ress of events. He did as directed.
The governor suddenly looked up
and saw him and broke forth in that
hearty manner so well known to
his friends: why, there's my
friend of the Kickapoo-the man
who took me in one cold winters
night long ago. Why, how do you
do2"
Then he and the governor monop-
Olized the balance of the time be-
fore dinner. About the happiest man
at that reunion was the old farmer
from the Kickapoo valley.

Barnabas II. Roberts.

Stockton Springs has lost another of Its
most prominent citizens. Hon Barnabas
NJ Roberts passed on to the better life Dec.
20th, IS years of age. He was the of DIR,
Jacob Roberts Of Brooks d physician of wide
practice and earnest and influential
Quaker. Mr.. Roberts came from Brooks, his
native town, to Stockton, forty years ago and
engaged in trade with the late Hon n. G..
HichbOrn under the firm name of Roberts
& Hichborn. Mr.. Hichborn was a large
ship builder during his life. Since his death
Mr.. Roberts has carried on business at the
stand known formerly as Hichborn's Corner
In the early breaking up and reforming OF
political parties, Mr.. Roberts was among
the active and influential men who made
State history. Among the first ant-slavery
workers. he was also an earnest temperance
worker. He was identified with the enact
ment of the first Maine Law, has been al
ways faithfully active in keeping this law
intact, and through all the years has favored
its practical enforcement. Not an extremist
IN this or other public measures, his wide
view of things took in the ultimate public
good and to this view he remained stead
fast. member of the legislature, both of
House and Senate, his influence was felt at
time when strong men and strong, judi
clous measures We're most needed. Ad-
vancing years and business cares have taken
him, later on, mostly out of public life His
energy and industry were untiring. He
worked through to the end. Always hope
full and genial he had kind word for all.
There was pessimism in the man. He
had entire faith in the progress of events
here, and most exalted view of the great
Hereafter. His charity extended to all.
He held no revenges. He had a kindly heart
for the poor. The heavy financial losses of
later years did not much lessen this feeling.
Sympathetic and generous, family in want
never applied at his store for help to go
away empty. This generosity was. perhaps,
his misfortune; it, indeed, such quality can
be called misfortune. Fifty years of faith
attested by all who knew him. OF family
of seven children, one son and daughter, one
daughter-in-law and one grandson remain
The services were held at the family resi-
dence, attended by Rev. R. G. Harbutt of
Searsport. S. A. RENDELL.
