humor to resent it, In consequence l
had to take the law into my own
hands and shake him up in lively style,

his revolver and placing it out of his

efforts on the horse, simply dismount-

used him in what one would think a
rather rude and rough manner. In fact,

my apparent discourtesy to their Off

IN HONOR OF LINCOLN
The Centennial of the Great
Emancipators Birthday
Will be Duly Hon
Ored in Canton.

On Friday February II, the nation
will celebrate the Tooth anniversary
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and
Canton will do her part in honoring
the memory of one of the greatest
men born in the last century. The
celebration program will be held in
G. A. r. hall under the direction of
the G. A. r., w. r. G. and Canton
High School management. Il male
quartet and the Apollo orchestra will
furnish the music and County Super
intendent Lawrence will give an ad-
dress covering the life and character
of Abraham Lincoln.
The exercises will be very interest
ing and the public should take part
in hOnoring man who did so much
for the preservation of the Union.
The writer first saw Abraham Lin
coin in 1860 in New York City, short
ly after his nomination at Chicago.
He in company with William Fl.
Seward, who was Lincoln's compet-
itor for the Chicago honor, rode down
Broadway in Ell oldfashioned barouche
and was cheered by the multitude as
they alighted In front Of the old
Astor House. He was hailed as the
"Great Rail Splitter" of the west.
Mr. Lincoln delivered his first speech
in New York City that evening at
the old Cooper Union hall. It was
one OF his greatest efforts and won
him fame and friends in New York
where Seward had been backed by a
unanimous delegation against Lin
coin. The Wideawake marching
clubs were organized soon after and
the campaign began in earnest.
The next time we saw Mr.. Lincoln
was in the fall of 1861 at Camp Ham
ilton near Fortress Monroe. He came
down from Washington to review the
troops under General Wool who held
an independent command in that
part of Virginia. Gen. Wool was one
of the heroes of the Mexican war and
stood high in the estimation of Mr.
Lincoln but he was past 60, neverthe-
less he was one Of the best horsemen
in the army and a splendid organizer.
Gen. Wool was proud of the soldiers
under him and was especially proud

man who was travelling along
some of the vast eXpanSeS of the west,
where for hundreds of miles there was
no one to see but himself, his horses.

blue Sky above, with its sun by day
and its stars by night At first the
question seemed strange. but | soon
underst Ood how a man who has lived
all his life in daily touch with Broad
way might go melancholy mad in Il
single day in 4 region where he could
see and hear absolutely nothing but
the wonderful panorama of nature and
its voices. There was a multitude Of
things around him to arouse interest,
which to the plainsman meant safety
or danger. life or death, but which
would mean to such man. indeed, no
more than so many blades OF grass.
This silent excitement of the solitary
ride over the broad prairie, where the
city man would see nothing but dull
monotony, was something more eXcit-
ingly fierce than anything l had seen
in Il town, and l had seen Wall street
craZed. l have watched street riots. /
have witnessed royal pageants, and l
have seen men lynched. These things
stir the blood, but they all seem pale
to what l have felt when out alone on
scout.
Consequently the scout on duty was
compelled to invent ruseS Of his own
to assist him in emergency. And
when some extremely dangerous mis-
sion had to be undertaken the scout
often puzzled the commander by re-
fusing aid in the shape of a squad or
any chosen number of soldiers to ac
company him. But actually it was the
part of discretion to do so, as going
alone or with one or two chosen COM
radeS whom you knew to be true blue
was Il precaution that favored your
own safety, as every scout naturally
picked the very best mounts and rode
one and had what is called lead
horse'' we'll trained, to follow and
stand by him in every emergency. He
had only himself to look out for, and
with a good lead horse in race for
life had a fresh remount. Therefore
l always kept myself well provided
with we'll trained steeds. who became
wonderfully proficient in scenting dan

your horses were unshod was another
puzzle to a trailing Indian. as shod
horse print gave him a clew to a white
mans presence or the proximity of the
military. One of my ruses was to
take with me a bugler of the Fifth
cavalry named Kershaw, who devel
oped a capacity for comradeship in
such adventures. Kershaw, after re-
firing from the army, beca me chief Of

one gap which would furnish descent
into the valley, and that had to be
reached by careful attention to direc.

Starting early and getting the point

fore old Boreas began his revels. Gen.
eral Carr, Of course, gave. orders to
! the commanding officers of companies
in regard to preventing drowsiness of

any Of them succumbing to the cold.
I shall long remember that trip for 1t
was necessary for me to go by the
wind and not finch from it, for in the
binding blizzard we would all soon be
lost. The direction brought the wind

black horse could not be seen ten feet
from the picket ropes, lariat lines were
scattered along to guide the men, who
kept so close almost as to touch each
horses tail. But I dared not change
my position for fear Of losing the di-
rection, so for eight hours l held my
left cheek and ear against the storm
and, of course. suffered greatly from
frostbite. / dared not dismount, as
did many Of the others, General Carr

my ear with piece Of saddle blanket,
but Notwithstanding that the eardrum
was frozen, and for time it gave me
intense pain and suffering, and up to
the present day it has quite affected
my hearing on that side. But by this
pertinacity we reached the gap, and
when 1 had made the point success
fully and the descent down into the
canyon became assured there were
never 1900 men who let out such
yells and paeans Of joy.
On another occasion had very try
ing experience when General Penrose's
command had been sent to reconnoiter
the surrounding country by General
Sheridan and were known to have been
somewhere in blizzard. Not hearing
from them for several days, we knew
they We're up against It, but as all
trails were covered and oDliterated by
the drifting snow it was a serious
problem to find them. General Carr Of
course, consulted with me in the mat.
ter, and he relates the incident in de-
tail in "Carr's Campaigns" Of my sue
cess in finding the men. In this in
stance knowing in what direction they
had gone, had to travel fifteen miles
to find ridge that they would cross
and that the storm would blow the
snow away from and leave bare. Fol-
lowing this ridge for five miles or
more, I found the trail of their horses
and wagons where they had crossed
and by the hoof tracks located the d.
rection in which they had gone sue
ceeded in reaching them, showed in
and in a terrible condition, for every
thing had been eaten up to such an
extent that the horses and mules had
eaten the names and tails off each
other. Returning the next day, relief
was sent, and the commands became
reunited.

In the afternoon Of the day that

A few minutes before the sham
battle began Gen. Wool and Presi-

looked the regiments over. Our colo

line officers and men to pay close at
tention to orders. My regiment was
assigned the night Of the attacking

was given we started on the double

President was watching him. The
various movements we're carried out
to perfection and when the sham
battle was over we returned to our

President Lincoln's attention had
been called to us by General Wool, no
doubt, for as soon as the line was
formed the General and President
rode down the line. stopping in front
of each company to say few words.
My company was on the left and
there both stopped. The President
wore that wonderful smile that made
him seem handsome, smile that
