FATE AND ANDREW JACKSON.
Might be Unknown if He Had Gone East,
Not West.

4'OA 'GSi.
During the young manhood of
Andrew Jackson, when he rode the
circuit in Tennessee, knowing more
law than most Of his brethren at
the bar, afraid OF nothing on earth,
ready to challenge to a duel some
trained lawyer from the older set
Elements when that lawyer tres
passed upon his own preserves and
made fun of his lgnorance-as
Warghtstill Avery did-thus hold
ing his ground against all comers,
partly by brute force and partly
by mental superiority, he was
probably nearer to happiness than
he ever was atterward.
From court to court he rode his
race horse, pistols in holsters,
carrying his gun and his pack of
hounds, ready for the court house,
ready for the deer chase, ready
for the shooting match. ready for
the horse race, ready for the house
raising aud log rolling. ready to
go out himself and drag into the
court house the desperate whom
the sheriff feared to arrest.
Rough-and-tumble times these
were in backwood, Tennessee, with
rude and lawless elements boiling
and bubbling in that inevitable
period OF unrest and struggle
which prevails in border settle
ments before the community takes
form, and everybody smugly con-
graduates everybody else on the
reign of law and order"
In just such state of society
young Jackson was peculiarly
fitted to lead, dominate and pros
per.
Had he gone eastward instead
of westward, had he cast in his lot
with the lawyers that were striving
for advancement in the cities of
the original thirteen seaboard
states, nothing is more certain
than that the world would never
have heard of him.
His lack OF knowledge of the
law would have made him easy
prey to those who were masters
of the profession; his fiery temper
would have kept him constantly
in battle array, and in fighting
those lawyers who got the better
of him in the citation of legal
authorities he would have, in the
nature of things, have met the
wrong man, sooner or later.-Tom
Watson, in his Magazine for Sep
tember.
