for during the long summer days the
farmers were busy and he had few
customers at the store. Never IN my
whole life was my mind so thoroughly
absorbed" he once declared, Il read
them until / fairly devoured them"
A few months later in the summer OF
1894 his friends decided to send him
to the State Legislature. During his
campaign he frequently met Major
John l. Stuart, with whom he served
in the Black Hawk War. Stuart was
an Attorney at Springfield and when
Lincoln confided his ambition to him
Major Stuart promptly offered to help
him and after much study Lincoln, al
the age OF twenty-eIght became a full
fledged attorney. His rigid honesty,
perseverance and knowledge of hui
man nature at once attracted atten-
ton and business began to come in.
An Honest Lawyer
Somehow Lincoln could not make
up his mind to defend people whom
he knew were guilty. At one time he
tried to settle case by arbitration but
failed. The client decided to take the
case to court VERY well, Jlm," said
Lincoln, Il will take the case against
you for nothing" 1t was unnecessary
for jim settled The case at once. Truth
predominated with Lincoln in his en-.
tire law practice and led to many
queer incidents and some remarkable
encounters with opposing lawyers
Lincoln cared little for money and
saved practically nothing during hi,
entire life. His fees were small and
frequently If his client were poor ne
refused to take anything for his work
/ When he was elected to the Pres
dency he owned his home in Spring
field, Illinois. and had about three
thousand dollars.
Lincoln was always a politician. not

Troubles At White House
He had little homo life and few
amusements and one night after read
ing a scurrilous attack in one of the
papers he lifted his tired, wan face
from a paper and said to one of his
secretaries, Il wish George Washing
ton or some other patriot were here
to take my place so that l could have
little rest" In vain his secretaries
tried to relieve him from seeing peo-
pie, but ne never excused himself from
! seeing callers during the busiest period
of the war His greatest travail of
soul was caused by parents of desert

cupled so unique a position as Abra-
ham Lincoln. In his Intercourse with
his fellow man he showed a deeper
sympathy with their trials and tribula-
lions and u better grasp Of the prob
lens confronting them than any other
man in our history This was due in
part TO opportunity, for in his early
days up to his mature manhood his
experience was with conditions on the
middle west and then a broader field
az the bar in Springfield opened up a
contact with other phases Of personal
and business conditions which broad
ened his sphere of observation.
But amid all these various aspects
in life his keen sense of Justice and
HIS almost intuitive conception of the
real points a issue always led him to
right conclusions. with these natural
powers was combined a courage Of
conviction and desire TO serve and
help his fellow man I'm trouble, which
