Of their journey they drove through
rolling, grassy, Towering pralries and
up a long, hard hill to the small log
cabin settlement of New Salem, IlIi7
nOis, on the shore of the SangamOn.
They halted about noon in the middle
of this little prairie village, opposite
a small clapboard house. A sign hung
over its door which bore the rudely
lettered words: "Rutledge's Tavern"
long. slim. stoOp-shOuldered young
man sat In the shade Of an oak tree
that stood near a corner Of the tavern,
with a number of children playing
around him. He sat leaning against
the tree trunk reading a book. He
had risen as they came near and stood
looking at them, with the book under
his arm. Samson says in his diary
that he looked like ian untrimmed
yearling colt about sixteen hands
high. He got up slow and kept rising
till his bush Of black tousled hair was
six feet four above the ground. Then
he put on an old straw hat without
any band on it. He reminded me Of
Philemon Bakers fish rod, he was
that narrer. For humliness I'd match
him against the world. His hide was
kind O yaller and leathery. l could
see he was still in the gristle-a little
over twenty-but his face was marked
up by worry and weather like a mans.
I never saw anybody so long between
joints Don't hardly see how he
could tell when his feet got cold"
He wore a hickory shirt without a
collar or coat or jacket. One suspen-
der held up his coarse, linsey trousers,
the legs of which fitted closely and
came only to a blue yarn zone above
his heavy cowhide shoes. Samson
writes that he fetched a sneeze and
wiped his big nose with a red hand
kerchief' as he stood surveying them
in silence, while Dr. John Alien, who
had sat on the doorstep reading a
paper-a kindly faced man OF middle
age with a short white beard under
his chin-greeted them cheerfully.
~Where do you hail fromg" the
Doctor asked.

"All the way in that wagon?"
Eyes, sir
Il guess you're made O. the right
stuff" said the Doctor. where ye

Don't know exactly. Going to take

There's no better country than
right here. This is the Canaan of
America. We need people like you.

stood close together at the western

Derivation of April.

OeFIFalIoH OF April.
Authorities on derivation Of words
state that the word april, the name OF
our fourth month. was derived from
the Latin verb. ''aperio," l open, and
that the month was so named because
it is the time when the buds OF trees
and flowers open. IF this were the
case, it would make April singular
among the months. for the names OF
none of the rest. as designated in
Latin, have any reference to natural
conditions or circumstances"
