the tablet reciting events at the State
house (nOw Court house), where his
great speeches were delivered and
where his body lay in state and from
where it was borne to the tomb. The
fourth tablet marks the law office
which Lincoln occupied the last seven
teen years he was in Springfield. This
is to me the most appealing and sacred
Of all in memory's retrospect.
Lincoln's Law Office.
The first three mentioned l will not
further refer to here, as they were
fully described in my Personal Recol-
lections Of Abraham Lincoln"
OF the Lincoln law Office some more
intimate recognition of the part 1t had
in Lincoln's life deserves mention at
this time. This office was the center
of Lincoln's legal, political and literary
activities in Springfield. Volumes might
have been written of what took place
here, had there been such a compe-
tent, gOssiping scribe as Boswell al
ways present to take notes of what
TRANSFERRED.
1t is now more than sixty years
since 1 passed daily under the swing
ing sign, "Lincoln & Herndon," and up
and down the stairway, into and from
a back room, located in what was then
a two-story building. This had been
the last seventeen and most strenuous
years he spent in Springfield.
1t was my privilege, for several of
those later years, to share in that Of
fee its routine as a student, and to
enjoy the personality and instruction
of this most remarkable man of his
century.
The end of his presence at the law
office came the evening of February 10,
1861. 1 recall seeing Abraham Lincoln
passing that night, for the last time,
out of his Office and down the narrow
stairway to the street. On the fol-
lowing morning he departed from
Springfield on his mission into the
strange, strenuous sacriicial life that
has embalmed his memory forever to
endure in the heart of the ages.
Foresaw Coming Events.
No place in Springfield, not eve his
tomb, throngs with memories such as
this office brings to the students of
Lincoln's history. Lincoln's most
studiOus years were spent here, as
well as the most aspiring ones. 1t

passes all other States, produc-
ing about one-third of the total
output of the entire country. In
fact, its real history starts in
1858, when gold was first dis
covered.
Prior to that time there had
been but little settling in this
region. Spanish explorers had
traversed the country in the lat
ter part of the Eighteenth CEN
fury, and laid claim to it. As a
part of the Louisiana Purchase
it came into the possession of
the United States in 1903. Off
GERS of the United States army
were sent out to explore this
wilderness among whom were
Lieutenant Pike in 1906, and it
was after him that Pixies Peak
was named. In 1919 Colonel
Long made extensive explora-
lions and he was followed in
1912 by Fremont, whose activi-
ties in the Mexican war brought
him into much prominence. At
the close of the Mexican war,
Mexico coded her rights to this
territory to the United States.
but it was considered a barren
waste and unattractive for set
tiers.
Then in 1853 came the dis
covery of gold in the bed of Dry
Creek, a few miles south of
where Denver now stands. The
following spring tens of thou
sands of men focked into what
was then called the Pixies Peak
country. In 1859 Denver became
a town of one thousand inhabi-
tants, and by the next year had
: grown into a big city with news
/: papers, theaters, and a govern
: ment mint.

!. Colorado was admitted as the
t~hirty-eighth state of the Union.
Its area is 103,94S square miles
and its population entities the
state to six presidential cleo
tors.
The name is taken from the
Colorado river, and is a Spanish
adjective meaning "colored red"
Colorado is often called 1.-THE
Centennial State, as it was adj
mitted to the Union just one
hundred years after the Declara-
ton of independence.
