Which Tells OF the Settling Of Abe
Lincoln and the TrayIors In the VII
laae Of Springfield and Of Samson's |
Second Visit to Chicago.
Bins Judgment of her old friends
was i'll founded. 1t was a slow time
In which she lived. The foot Of the
horse, travelling and often mired in a
rough muddy highway, was its swift
est courier. Letters carried by horses
or slow steamboats, were the only
media OF communication between peo-
pie separated by wide distances. So
it is easy to understand that many
who had travelled far were as the
dead, In measure, to the friends they
had left behind them and that those
separated by only a hundred miles
had to be very enterprising to keep ac-
Quainted.
In March Abe Lincoln had got his
license to practice law. On his return
from the North he had ridden to
Springfield to begin his work as law
yer in the office OF John T, Stuart.
His plan was to hire and furnish q
room and get his meals at the home
of his friend, Mr.. William Butler. He
went to the store Of Joshua Speed to
buy q bed and some bedding. He
found that they would cost seventeen
dollars.
''The question is whether you would
trust man owing a national debt and
without an asset but good intentions
and a license to practice law, for SO
much money" said Honest Abe. Il
don't know when could pay you"
Speed had heard of the tall repre-
sentative from Sangamon county.
II have a plan which will give you
a bed for nothing If you would care to
share my room above the store and
sleep with me-" he answered.
I'm much obliged, but for you it's
quite contract"
you're rather long," Speed laughed.
Eyes, / could lick salt off the top
OF your hat. I'm about man and a
half but by long practice I've learned
how to keep the half out Of the way
Of other people"
I'm sure we shall get along well
enough together" said Speed.
Mr.. Lincoln hurried away for his
saddle-bags and returned shortly
'@rhere are all my earthly posses
sions," he said IS he threw the bags
on the floor.
So his new life began In the village
of Springfield. Early in the autumn
Samson arrived and bought small
house and two acres of land on the
edge OF the village and returned tt
New Salem to move his family anG
furniture. When they drove along the
top of Salem hill a number of the
houses were empty and deserted, theil
owners having moved away. Two Of
the stores were closed. Only ten ,fami
lies remained. They stopped at Rut
ledge's tavern, whose entertainment
was little sought those days. People
from the near houses came to biz
them good-by.
