teTrupt@d by the civil war One of his
best friends was student named w.
w. Warner. In August, 1861 while
| the wa still young, Henderson and
Warner spent a Sunday evening with
Warmers sisters Later in the night
Henderson told Warner he was asham-
ed Of himself because he had not en-
listed as a volunteer in the army of the
north. It would be a pity to leave
school, lie said, but the country needed
young men just then. The friends talk
ed Ions and earnestly over the situa-
ton and the result was plan the cul-
mination of which occurred at Fayette
on September 10. Henderson was then
twenty-one.
On the morning of that day, just af-
ter prayers, young Henderson, who,
with Warner AMI another student nam
ed Burr had been working quietly
among the students at their "conspira-
cy," arose and asked permission to
say q few words ION a subject of vital
interest. to every one present. He had
no complaint, no protest to make, he
said, buT he wished earnestly to be
heard This was an entirely novel pro-
position, and the faculty hesitated, but
permission was finally given. Then
floor and made his first war speech"
He dwelt upon the government need
for the services of its strong young
sons, aDd declared il to be the duty OF
all who could to rush to the front. His
effort eliminated in whirlWind of pas
sion aud patriotism, and when he had
finished he read a series of resolutions
setting forth the situation in sober
phrase, and concluding with this para
aph:
I'VE therefore drop our books to
fight our country's battles
To thiS was appended a muster roll
bearing the names of twenty-five stu
dents, The flower Of the schools stu
dent b.<iy.
Before he went 10 the front Hender
son enlisted 104 more volunteers. and
thus tGa career Of this typical Ameri-
can solder, professional man and
statesman was begun. HIS war record |
is known to all the world. Though
offered a captains place. he said he
was to- young, and 50 was made sec

HIS FIRST SAFEGUARDING.

That fall D. B. Henderson entered
the Upper Iowa University as fresh
man. There he studied for three years,
working on the farm in summers and
living with the greatest frugality in
winters. He and a chum rented quar-
tiers and kept house for themselves,
cooking their own food, sweeping tneir
own floors and making their own beds.
Young Henderson got special stand
ing among his fellow students through
an incident which had a feature sug-
gestive of the episode in which his
father and the Earl of Buchan were
principals. His skill as a debater was
as great as his superiority as a wrest-
Ter. He had begun when he was only
years old, his eldest brother George
being his opponent generally and his
father the judge. His reputation IN
this line had preceded him at Fayette,
and he had not been in the college q
week before he was chosen to lead
discussion before one Of the debating
societies. On his first appearance he
was Interrupted by a senior who asked
a fIippant question. Henderson
stopped and looked at the fellow, but
soon resumed. Three or four minutes
later came another interruption mucn
more fippant in tone-insulting even.
turned again and looked a.
the fellow This time the young man
from HendersOn's Prairie spoke up:
Mr. Chairman" quOth he, IF you
cannot preserve order in this room,
will"
Then he upset the senior and piled
him up in the wOOdboX. There were no
more interruptions at Upper Iowa Uni
versity when David Bremner Hender-
son was making remarks.
