came to an end.
 This was merely 2 prelude to the work he was to do in after life, when he became the commander-in-chief of the Army that was to save the nation. Even in the Black Hawk War his sense of justice and kindness was shown when an Indian fugitive took refuge in his camp. Knowing the treachery of the Indians his men were for killing the red skin at once. but Lincoln's whole being revolted at the thought of killing this helpless creature and at the risk of his own life he saved the Indian. The same proved true in the Civil War, when his magnanimity and justice saved the lives of many Confederates when Union officers were clamoring for the lives of the "rebels."
 Against Slavery.
 Early in life he became an enemy to slavery. On several occasions he had taken flat boats to New Orleans and while in the South he had seen cruel overseers ill-treating the helpless blacks and he made up his mind to fight for the abolition of slavery wherever end whenever it was pos sible. He held various positions in his early life and studied law at night. His honesty, truthfulness and extreme sense of justice won him friends who gave him the sobriquet of honest Abe" name which chung to him all through his life. He was finally ad- mitted to the bar and shortly after ward elected as 2 member of the Illinois Legislature.
 He rose rapidly in his chosen pro- fession and also took an active part in politics, never losing an opportun- itv to fight against slavery. Finally in 1860 he was elected to the highest office in the gift of the people. In his inaugural address of March 4, 1861, he made his position clear by denying the right of any State or number of States to so out of the Union.

1918, The International Syndicate

Black Hawk, the celebrated chief of the Sac Indians, repudiated his treaty with the, white men and precipitated a war. Lincoln joined the volunteer company and was elected captain A man named Kirkpatrick enlisted at the same time and was a candidate for the captaincy. This man ran a saw mill and Lincoln worked for a time at the mill The proprietor promised to buy the young man can't hook with which to move the logs. Lincoln, however, offered to move the logs with his own cant-hook provided
 Kirkpatrick would give him in cash the two dollars which cant-hook
 would cost. Kirkpatrick agreed to this, but after the logs were moved
 he failed to keep his promise and
 Lincoln, who had q high sense of hon. or as to keeping promises, always bore him grudgc. When the vol unteers assembled and Lincoln found l that his debtor was a candidate for chief officer of the company he said 1 to one of the men, "Say, Bill, believe I can make Kirkpatrick pay me that two dollars he owes me on the cant
 hook or I'll run against him for cap-
