In a county in southern Illinois and
less, than decade ago there still re-
manned rural section which the peo-
pie in the towns designated as the
jungle, a term of contumely handed
s down from period when this portion
of the county was isolated by impassa-
BILE roads and covered with dense tim
bers. The Jungle" fell behind in the
march of progress: The farm wagon
conveyed the family to church on Sun
days when the, people on the prairie
rode in Spring wagons or owned
buggies. There was one prevailing
style of architecture, which is still
frequently seen, the square log house
with one room and boxed-up kitchen
at the side. The lights streaming
through the one small window showed
such decorations on the walls as a
shotgun and rifle, the horn powder
flask and hunting pouch, and
q trophies of the hunt, while
on winter evenings the glow
ing freight from the cavernous
fireplace threw shadows in and, out
among the festoons of onions, a dried
pumpkin, and "middlins" suspended
from the rafters.
The house in which Hester Lane was
born stood in a small cleared space in
the heart of the Jungle" Here she
grew to womanhood with no wider ex-
perience with the outside world than
the weekday walk to the nearest vii
lage, and an annual journey to the
county seat in fair time,
Her first hardship came to her at
the age of 6, when she must trudge
each day for mile and half to the
district school. But school days in
the Jungle" were soon over, the boys
getting most of the "schoolin' be-
cause the girls married and had no
use for it. There were no bachelor
maids in the Jungle" Marriage was
certainty about which there could
be no doubt.
Hester Lane being what the natives
of the Jungle called a "good, smart
girl it was expected she would make
"a good match. If the Lane home was
more picturesque than some of it's
neighbors it was because Hester's
hand trained the morning glory vines
