winter nights to shut all indoors.
But that not hardship. No set of young
people, youths, and children ever had better time
or got more enjoyment out of life than we did, and
none ever had better health, except for the ague,
which common that it said or
woman could not get into good society without the
evidence of having had it. We did not have the
public library, the academy college, the
theater and concert and opera; but had few
good books, and these formed the nucleus of Cir
culatng library, and the weekly newspaper from
New York or Cincinnati QHorace Greeleys Tribune
was the favorte) these read and cared for
until they were literally out with reading.
We worked and we played, and played just as
hard worked. We had our log school house
with its puncheon floor, its split logs for benches,
and writing desk at which took turns. We had
spelling schools debating societies,
singing schools, dances, and sleigh rides,
and did not long for the life of the city, did
envy other young people their pleasures of an
other sort. We entirely satisfied with Our own.
When the wagon box transferred to the
bob sled and filled with hay and blankets there
always room for more boy girl, no matter
how crowded the condition in that box, and don't
believe any boy or girl who participated in
such old fashioned sleigh rides found anything
else to blot out that memory of the brightest
of their life The spelling school, the debating
society, even the religious revival an excuse
for the sleigh ride and that ride just as jolly,
and just much of pleasure, as when it part
of the program for dance.

culean labor chopped and grubbed out their
civilization in the sweat of their faces.
That man loving, God fearing community,
down the Wabash, when practically the only
social distinction between the worker and the
drone Yes we all worked, the and the
children doing their share for we had child labor
compulsory school laws then. 1t was just as
much part of civilization that the children
should work and aid the parents, it is now that
the parents should protect the child and give it the
opportunity for schooling that is to qualify it for
citizenship in the future. l worked in the woods

The Same Spirit as Now

YOUTH was just as buoyant, just as hopeful just
ambitious, then now, and sometimes think
it more irrepressible, because we had
every day tasks on the farm about the household
to take up the serious side of life and school
much of recreation as is the theater now. We
went to school with enthusiasm when the oppor-
tunity came; and seized on book, matter if
it rather dull, with spirit, because it was
change from the routine of the ordinary workday.
There is nothing like complete change to add spice
to life and the boys and the girls in the frontier
settlements had this opportunity for change every
day in the year,-the change from work to play,
and the necessity for making play out of work when
they were in the fields and clearings.

They Had to Be Hustlers

TT called for energy if not enterprise
to make homes in that country, and it
was entirely different from the frontier
work on the prairies of the West, where
the richest soil in the world waited only
for the plow to turn the sod and re-
ceive the seed to produce abundant
harvests These North Carolina Quakers
were like many other immigrants from
the East who sought the timber and
summed the prairies, because they had
been accustomed to consider timber lands
the best farm lands, and they looked
upon the praires as they had upon the
swamp lands in the East and South. So

"A log rolling was a
frolic, though it was the
hardest and most diff
cult work before the
frontiersman. He and
his boys might chop
down the trees, burn
the brush, and grub up
the saplings; but when
it came to getting to-
gether the logs for burn
ing there was needed
the combination of
effort, and the whole
community turned out

a dozen families dispose of their

their children could grow up

Now only 81 years old Smith arrived

a word of English. He became a shore

His business ability soon caused him
to forge ahead and he became the pro

he established the first of the Smith
