Lancaster, Pa, Dec. 1s.--"I have
kept the promise / made to Abraham
Lincoln, and that promise was that
would never smoke or chew tobacco,
never touch liquor and never tell an
untruth, and / have never had a sick
day in my life" said Simeon Woodrow
King, who was appointed judge of the
United States Court for the Northern
District of Illinois by the martyred
President, and who is now a visitor in
this city. For years Judge King has
served the nation as a judge OF the
federal court and has managed to
make trip about every five years to
visit his kinspeople in this section of
the country. He has been the guest of
his sister Mrs. Rachael S. Suter, here,
for some time.
Judge King was SO years old August
last and he is the personification of
health.
Young King left the farm of Edwin
Haines, at Rising Sun, Md, when a
boy and went west. In Chicago he
found employment at No. SO Clark
street, in the hotel where Abraham
Lincoln made his headquarters when
he came to Chicago from Springfield
to try cases. Mr.. Lincoln was an early
riser and it was young Kings practice
to be in the office exceedingly early,
for it was his duty to dust the desks
and prepare the hotel office for the
days business. Thus came about
my first meeting with Abraham Lin
coln," said the judge.
'''Are you a pretty good boy?' Mr..
Lincoln asked me one morning, laying
his hand on my arm.
II try to be- l answered"
Dear boy, said he, I want to OBJ
tain a promise from you. 1 want you
to promise me truthfully that as long
as the dear. Lord will permit you to
live you will not smoke or chew to-
bacco. will never touch liquor and
never will deal in untruths.'
''I gave that promise truthfully and
I have kept it,
Judge King was a member of Gov
ernor Yates staff and was at the bat
tie of Shiloh. Shortly after that
Colonel Ross, who then was United
States commissioner, was killed at the
front and Judge King was appointed
to the vacancy by President Lincoln.
In speaking of the Lincoln funeral,
Judge King said
"A few minutes before the body ar
rived on the Illinois Central 1 was in
formed that I was to be one of the
pallbearers. l had not originally been
selected. but one of the men resigned
in my favor. because, he said: Lin
coin loved King like a son and he did
more for him than my father ever did
for me- We walked up Michigan ave-
nue. to the courthouse and all during
the march l never heard a sound save
the tramping of feet and the sobs of
men and women. The body remained
there for the day and then we took it
to Springfield and to the grave. I'm
the sole surviving pallbearer of Abra-
ham Lincoln"
Prior to the great fire of 1871 in
Chicago Judge King had accumulated
a handsome property, but came out of
that calamity with nothing
