Of adult guests the bedstead was

travellers had q night Of refreshing

After riding two days with the
Doctor, samson bought the claim OF
one Isaac Gollaher to q half section
Of land q little more than a mile from
the western end OF the village. He
chose q site for his house on the
edge Of an open prairie.

made. He's the best man with an
AK and q saw In this part OF. the
country. He clerks for Mr.. Offut.
Abe Lincoln Is one Of the best fellows
that ever lived--a rough diamond just
out Of the great mine Of the West, that
only needs to be cut and polished.
Denton Ohut's store was q small
log structure about twenty by twenty
which stood near the brow OF the
hill east OF Rutledge's tavern. When
they, entered 1t Abe lay at full length
on the counter, his head resting on q
bolt Of blue denim as he studied a
book In his hand. He wore the same
shirt and q suspender and linsey
trousers which he had worn in The
dooryard of the tavern, but his feet
were covered only by his blue yarn
socks.
1t was q general store full Of exotic
lavors, chiefly those Of tea, coffee,
tobacco, muscovado sugar and molas-
SEES. There was Z counter on each
side. Bolts Of cloth, mostly calico,
were piled Of the far end Of the right
counter as n entered and the near
end held q showcase containing .
display Of cutlery, pewter spoons,
jewelrys and fishing tackle. There
were double windows on either side
Of the rough board door with its wood
en- latch. The left counter held a
case filled with threads, buttons,
combs, colored ribbons, and belts and
j~ew's-harps. 4 balance stood In the
middle Of this counter. A chest of
tea, q big brown jug, a box of an
dies, a key and q large wooden pail
occupied Its farther end. The shelv-
ing on It's side walls was filled by
straw hats, plug tobacco, bolts of
cloth, pills and patent medicines and
p~aste-board boxes containing shirts,
handkerchiefs and underwear. At the
e a end of the store was a large fire
place. There we're two chairs near
the fireplace, both Of which were oc-
cupied by q man who sat in one
while his feet lay on the other. He
wore a calico shirt with a fanciful
design Of morning-glories on 1t print
ed in appropriate c~olors, a collar OF
the same material and a red necktie.
Abe laid aside his book and rose
to a sitting posture. .,..
