REDERICK TREVOR

T FREDERICK TREVOR HILLS s
 story of Lincoln the Lawyer" which begins in the December Century, is the fruit of many years thought and research.
 q do not know when I first thought of writing the story of MT. Lincoln's legal career" said MT Hill recently, but 1t was a long time ago. For many years I have been intensely interested in all Lin coin literature. In reading the histories and biographies connected with his name l frequently found myself thinking that was done like a lawyer, or there the lawyer in him showed to advantage.' and I began to wonder vaguely whether he might not have been an abler member of the profession than was generally sup posed. l think 1t was a close reading Of The debates with Douglas which convinced me that no one but a lawyer, and very able one at that. could have held his own in such a contest; and when I studied the questions which Lincoln propounded to his opponent in that debate l saw what I thought was a demonstration of high legal qualities. Then l began to examine his record at the bar more carefully, and was amazed to discover that he had been in active prodtice more than twenty-three years-neary half of his wnoIe life and all but few years of his maturity. Ex- cept a few stereotyped stories and com ments I could find scarcely anything in the books dealing at all adequately with his legal experience of almost quarter of a century.
 From that moment I began to gather material wherever l could find it touching upon this neglected period of development and preparation; but even Nicolay and Hays great volumes. published In ten vol umes, devoted less than two chapters to his life in the courts; and, although the distinguished authors of that work admit ted that he was a good lawyer and that his legal training was of value. their ed- mission was not supported by evidence and might be called "a judgment by de- faux Other recognized histories were equally unsatisfactory. My interest in the subject then grew so intense that, in- stead of hoping to find something bear ing upon the topic, I began to hope l would ndt find it in any published form. Meanwhile had begun to gather material from first hand. and luck was with me almost from the start.
 "One Friday morning I received a letter of introduction to Judge Lawrence Well don of the United Skates Court of Claims, and to post myself concerning him l referred to Who's Who and discovered, among other things, that he was well ad- vanced In years; and knowing him to be

STUDY OF LINCOLN BY
 FREDERICK TREVOR HILL

the last surviving lawyer who had trav- eled the old Eighth circuit with Lincoln, instantly telegraphed him, asking if he would see me the next day. He replied in the affirmative, and I immediately started for Washington, where I was received most courteousy by the judge, and for almost half day he talked to me in a delightfully."- informal manner of his ex- periences at the bar with Lincoln and of all that pertained to legal practice in those times. Later we entered into corre- spondence on the subject, and he was en- gagged in procuring data for me when he was taken Ill and died, only few weeks after he had placed me in possession of his valuable "reminiscences. I had sug gested to Judge Weldon that I might go to Illinois and see what I could discover by travelling over the old Eighth circuit, but he advised mo against this, saying that 1t would be a waste of time, as all material had been removed from the files and all landmarks destroyed; and I re- ceved equal Encouragement from other high authorities.
 T did not think could cover this sub ject, however, unless I had been over the ground in person and had at least made an attempt to get the material l wanted. So l started west, ana almost the moment I arrived in Illinois I chanced upon the right trail. Although much valuable ma terial was missing from the records I found something of interest In every town I rode through on the circuit. Not only this, but met and talked with men who had been Lincoln's clients or who had been otherwise associated with him as lawyers, witnesses. jurymen and the like. I also found that two court houses in which he had argued cases were still standing and the facilities which were placed att my disposal officially and unof- ficially made the trip In every way suc- cessful. While in Springfield I visited General Orendorff, president of the Illi- nois Historical society, who very kindly allowed me to examine and use his collec- tion of Lincoln's law papers and other documents pertaining to his legal career. I also made the acquaintance of Major William Lambert of Philadelphia, who owns what is perhaps, the finest collec- tion of Lincolniana in this country. He also cordially co-operated with the result that reproduction of some of his rarest manuscripts will illustrate the pages of the articles.
 students of Lincoln history know that he was always an ardent advocate of com pensated emancipation of the slaves. It is not generally known however. that he drew up a plan for compensated eman- |, cipation as the basis for a bill which was afterwards introduced in the Delaware legislature

2OL. MANN TOLD THEW HOW

New York, December 2.-"Fads and Fances," the book of American social celebrities which came in prominence sev- eral months ago through the announce
 ment that some of those who figure Tn
 the book had paid many thousand dol lars for the privilege, was owned by Justice Joseph M Deul of the court of l special sessions of this city according to a letter read in police court.
 The letter was written by Col w. D.. Mann publisher of Town Topics" a weekly publication. It was read by the attorney for the defense in a suit for
 libel brought by Colonel Mann against Peter F. and Robert Collier and Norman | Hapgood. Incidentally Colonel Mann tes- | tified that he (Mann) owned only one share of the stock of Town Topics" and either Justice Deul or Mrs. Deul owned thirty shares. "Fads and Fancies" was printed by the Town Topics company. Other letters purporting to show that Justice Deul was interested in the sue
 cess of "Fads and Fancies,~ were read by the attorney for the defense. Among them was one alleged to have been writ ten by Justice Deul and addressed to MT.
 Wooster, an agent for "Fads and Fan
 cies" who was at Palm Beach, Fla. The
 letter expressed a hope that Wooster would meet nice people In Florida, and continued:
 "All of them are like Davey Crockets S ! coon, so that all you will have to do is to point your gun and every hightoned citizen of Palm Beach will instantly tumble into your basket"
 Colonel Mann said he might have writ ten one letter to MT. Wooster the sub scrption agent for Pads and Fancies which was put in evidence before the counsel for the defense. It gave Wooster instructions how to secure certain names and included the following suggestions: General Fitzgerald is very pompous and vain man and very rich, and l think if approached in the right way can be captured You did not go to Boston put Thayer.

 Contact with Liquozone kills any form
 of disease germ, because germs are or vegetable origin. Yet to the body Liquo- gone is not only harmless, but helpful in the extreme. That is its main dis tinction. Common germicides are poison when taken internally. That is why medicine has been so helpless in germ disease. Liquozone is exhilarating, vital ising, purifying: yet no disease germ can exist in 1t.
