work. Burns is a Lincoln type of
man. He lived a hard life-the life
of a feudist-up until late In his
twenties. and then seeing the folly
of that sort of thing compelled his
neighhors to cooperate with him in o
work which makes about as fine a
story as one can come across in
American history. Following is an
extract:
