army Of raw troops was outnumbered four to one. But he ,spurned Santa Annals demand for his surrender, and. with a little more grape" from Cap tain Bragg's battery, he defeated the Mexicans.
 The commanders in the two Mexican campaigns, Zachary Taylor and Win field Scott, were as unlike as their. popular nicknames would indicate .'Old Rough and Ready" and "Old Fuss and Feathers" "Old Rough and Ready" remained throughout his army service a simple American soldier. capable officer in peace and a resource ful one in war.
 Obedient always to the civil author ity, he retained truly American dis like of military ceremonial and man. ners. t
 He was as plain in his private life and with wife as unaffected as him. self. This devoted companion made her home with him in military stockade and tents, sending her children as they came along back to the care of relatives, but refusing to be parted from her husband.
 Like every man who has heard the seductive suggestion of his name for the presidency, Taylor was not long ln yielding to it. Revising his own poor opinion of his qualifications in the light of their higher. appraisal by others, he came to regard himself as the peoples candidate and he an- nounced that he would run as such even if no party should nominate him. The party preference of the old sol- dier was in doubt, with no other clue to it except his brothers Illuminating remark that Zachary liked Henry Clay and American-made clothes. The Whigs nominated him without knowing where he stood on any question and they made no platform for him to stand on, It was a merry game with he great problems that confronted the nation.
 | After they had nominated Taylor, | the Whigs became fearful for a time | that the joke was on them. While ehey waited and no word came from their nominee at Baton Rouge. they | took alarm lest he would not accept the honor from their party. But he had not received their letter of botifl- cation. For they had neglected to pre- pay the postage on it, and "Old Rough and Ready" was refusing to receive all unpaid mail.

1T AMES KNOX POLK was the first J dark horse to win the presidential race and his figure remains among the pale shadows in the procession of presidents across the pages of history.
 When he was yet boy the family of James K. Polk moved from North Carolina to Tennessee, where he was too frail for frontier farming and was put to work behind the counter of crossroads store. After time in that excellent preparatory school of life he returned to his native state to enter college, and he graduated from the University of North Carolina.
 Becoming a country lawyer, he was sent to the Tennessee legislature; mar ried Sarah Childress, daughter of well-to-do man of business, and went to congress for 14 years, in the course of which he became first the Jackson leader of the house and finally speaker. Next he took his seat as governor of Tennessee for a term. After having been twice defeated in his effort to obtain second election to the gover- norship, those defeats were immedi-

ately crowned with the Democratic nomination for president.
 It was in the first year of the tele- graph, and when the name of Clay was ticked off as the nominee of the Whig convention at Baltimore those wiseacres of Washington who still re- garded Morse as an impostor said that the trick was easy, since anyone could have guessed who the Whig nominee would be. Three weeks afterward, when the inventor at the capital spelled out the name of Polk as the Democratic nominee the doubting Thomases were convinced that he was a fraud. They scoffed at such an ab- surdity and were not persuaded of the truth until the arrival of train from Baltimore.
 The obscurity of "Jim" Polk, which that snug, unsmiling, uninspired little man of respectable abilities had pre- served on the eminence of the speak CTS chair, was deepened by the shin ing fame of Van Buren, whom he had displaced at the convention, and of Clay, against whom he was matched before the people. Those two states men had taken it for granted that they were to be the champions of their respective parties. History suspects that they concocted in a friendly visit two letters which appeared suspicious ly close together and which were sus- picfously alike in discouraging the an- nexation of Texas at risk of war with Mexico.
 Van Buren stood by his guns against annexation, going down in the Demo- cratic convention under the displeas- ure of the southern shareholders and the alarm of northern doughfaces. Clay faltered in the campaign. Quibbling, qualifying and taking a back track, he went down at the election under the indignation of the abolitionists, who boiled enough votes for their third ticket to cause his defeat.
 Polk lost Tennessee at the polls, and is the only man, with the sole excep- ton of Wilson in 1916, who has been elected without his own state. For several days the national election was | in doubt, with the result hanging on a complete count in New York. At 1 last it was found that Polk had car ried the state by 5,OO01thanks to the Liberty party, which had drawn away more than that number of votes from
 ''the great compromiser." Henry Clay
 had compromised his last chance for
 the presidency.

The Country of the Sangamon. The
latter was a word of the Pottawa-
tonnes meaning land of plenty. 1t was
the name of a river in Illinois drain
ing "boundess. flowery meadows Of
unexampled beauty and fertility, belt
ed with timber, blessed with shady
groves. covered with game and mostly
level, without a stick or a stone to
vex the plowman" Thither they
were bound to take up a section of
government land.
They stopped for visit with Elisha
Howard and his wife, old friends of
theirs, who lived in the village of
Malone, which was in Franklin county,
New York. There they traded their
oxen for team of horses. They
were large gray horses named Pete and
Colonel The latter was fat and good
natured. His chief interest in life
was food. Pete was always looking
for food and perils. Colonel was the
near horse. Now and then Samson
threw a sheepskin over his back and
put tuC UOy VII oiOhS
within arms reach Of Joe's left leg.
This was great delight to the little
lad.
They proceeded at a better pace to
the Black River country, toward
which, in the village Of Canton, they
tarried again for a visit with Captain
Moody and Silas Wright, both OF
whom had taught school in the town
of Vergennes.

had gone far out OF their way for a
look at these old friends of theirs.
Samson's diary tells how, at the top
Of the long, steep hills he used to
cut a small tree by the roadside and
tie it's butt to the rear axle and hang
on to it's branches while his wife
drove the team. This held their
load, making an effective brake.

they had been doing for weeks, while
the day waned. they looked for a

and while Sarah and the children
built q fire and made tea and biscuits,
he was getting bait and catching fish
ia the stream.
I'm few minutes from the time l
wet my hook mess of trout would be
dressed and sizzling, with a piece of
salt pork, in the pan, or it was a bad
day for fishing" he writes.
After supper the wagon was partly
unloaded, the feather bed laid upon
the planks under the wagon roof and
spread with blankets. Then Samson
sang songs and told stories or played
upon the violin to amuse the family.
Often if the others were weary and
depressed he would dance merrily
around the fire, playing a lively tune,
with Sambo glad to lend a helping
foot and much noise to the program.
BY and by the violin was put away
and all knelt by the fire while Sarah
prayed aloud for protection through
the night. So it will be seen that
they carried with them their own
little theater, church and hotel.
Soon after darkness fell Sarah
and the children lay down for the
night, while Samson stretched ont
with his blanket by the fire in good
weather, the loaded musket and the
dog Sambo lying beside him. Often
the bowling of wolves in the distant
forest kept them awake, and the dog
muttering and barking for hours.
Samson woke the camp at daylight
and merry song was his reveille
while he led the horses to their drink.
When they set out in the morning
Samson was wont to say to the little
lad, who generally sat beside him ::
