Samson's diary briefly describes this
appeal as follows:
He said that he wanted 10 win the
confidence and esteem Of his fellow
citizens This he hoped to accomplish
by doing something which would make
him worthy OF 1t. He had been think
ing of the county. A railroad would
do more for 1t than anything else, but
n railroad would be too costly. The
Improvement Of the Sangamon river
was the next best thing. He favored
usury law and said, In view Of the
talk he had Just heard, he was going
TO favor the improvement and build
ing Of schools. SO that every one could
learn how to read, at least, and learn
for himself what is i'm the Bible and
other great books. 1t was modest
statement and we all liked it."
"Whatever happens to SanRamon.
one statement In that platform
couldn't be improved" said Kelso.
What Is thatf'' Abe asked.
IT'S the one that says you wish to
win the regard Of your fellows by
serving them"
Early In April AN Indian scare
spread from the capital to the remot-
est corners OF the state. Black Hawk,
with many warriors. had crossed the
Mississippi and was moving toward
the Rock River country. Governor
Reynolds called for volunteers to
check the invasion.
Abe, whose address to the voters
had been printed In the Sangamon
Journal, joined volunteer company
and soon became its captain. On the
tenth Of April he and Harry Needles
left for Richland to go into training.
Samson was eager to 60, but could not
leave his family.
BIN Kelso rode out into the fields
where Harry was at work the day be-
fore he went away.
I'm going away" the boy said, in
a rather mournful tone.
Il hate to have you go. just love
TO know you're here, II don't see you.
Only I wish you was older and knew
more"
There was half moment OF silence.
She ended it by saying:
"Ann and i are going to the spelling
school tonight"
Can | go with your
Gould you stand it to be talked to
and scolded by couple Of girls TIL
you didn't care what happened TO
you?"
Yes; I've got to be awful careless
Wen be all dressed mp and ready
at quarter OF eight. Come to the tay-
ern I'm going to have supper with
Ann. She is just terribly happy. John
Mcneil has told her that he loves her
IT'S secret. Don't you tell.''
Il won't. Does she love him.
"Devotedly; buts she wouldn't let
him know it--not yet. l reckon he'll
be plumb anxious before she owns up.
But she truly loves him. She'd die for
him.
Girls are awful curious-nobody
can tell what they mean," said Harry.
Sometimes they don't know what
they mean themselves Often / say
something or do something and won
der and wonder what it means. Did you
ever ride horse sitting backwards
when you're going one way and look
Ing another and you don't know
what's comingT' she asked.
What's behind you is before you
and the faster you 60 the more danger
you're in3" Harry laughed.
isn't that the way we have 70
travel In this world, whether we're
going to love or to milf" the girl ask
ed. with a sigh, I'VE cannot tell what
is ahead. We see only what is behind
as. 1t is very sad"
Harry locked at BIN. He saw the
tragic truth OF the words and suddenly
nor face was like them. Unconscious.
