Of IndlvIdualIsm In the New Capital,

Mary Todd.
Samson, with "Mr. NImble" on q
pad stuffed with straw In front of
him, logged across the prairles and
waded the creeks and sloughs on his
way to Springfield. The little lad was
in his fourth year that summer. He
slept and talked much on the way and
kept Samson busy with queries about
the sky and the creeks and the great
flowery meadows.
They camped the first night In a
belt OF timber and Samson writes that
the boy 'slept snug against me with
his head on my arm. he went to sleep
crying for his mother" He adds:
ut reminded me Of the old days Of
my young fatherhood. Mr.. Nimble'
wanted to pick all the flowers and
splash his bare feet In every stream.
In the evening he would talk to the
stars as If he were playing with them.
He is like some OF the grown folks in
Chicago. He would sit hanging on to
the reinso and talk to the horse and
to God by the hour. He used to tell
me that God was friend OF his and
think he was right. It was good
luck to get back to Sarah and the
children. They took the little stran-
ger into their hearts. Heart room,
house room Is the motto OF this part

Wherein Abe Lincoln Reveals hIls
Method Of Conducting Lawsuit In
the Case Of Henry Rrlmstead OF aI.,
vs.. Lionel Davis.
They found many OF Davis notes
In Tazewell county. Abe Lincoln's
complaint represented seven clients
and a sum exceeding twenty thousand
dollars.
With the papers In his pocket Harry
went on to the Honey Greek settle
ment There he found that the
plague had spent itself and that BIN
had gone to a detention camp outside
the city Of Chicago. He was not per-
mitted to see her, the regulations hav-
ing become very strict. In the city he
went to the store Of Ell Fredenberg.
The merchant received him with en-
thusiasm. Chicago had begun to re-
cover from the panic. Trade was
lively.
Harry spent the afternoon with Mrs.
Kelso and Bins baby boy. He wrote
a very tender letter to BIN that day.
He told her that he had come to Chi
cage to live so that he might be near
her and ready to help her IL she need
ed help. 'sThe same old love is in my
heart that made me want you for my
wife long ago, that has filed my let

life and ill the spaces between your
words. It will help you to choose and

AS to the details Of the tragic scene
that followed next day, the writer
has little knowledge. Samson was
not the type Of man for such a chron-
icle. The diary speaks Of his part In
1t with shame and sorrow and re-
morse. We know that It was at day
break when he and Harry rode to a
point on the prairie something more
than mile from the city limits"
There he tells us they met Davis and
one friend OF the latter and two sur
geons. 1t is evident, too, that great
secrecy had been observed In the plan
and its execution and that, until some
time after the last act, Lincoln knew
nothing OF the later developments in
the drama OF Davis downfall. For
the rest Of the deplOrable scene the
historian must content himself with
the naked details In the diary of a
puritan pioneer.

d A large white cedar post, about
thirty feet above ground, which had
for many years been serving It's func-
ton in helping to benr the trolley line

up its job Sunday morning simply be-
