his enduring friendship Cartwright himself Is authority for the statement that, although he had heard a great deal about Mike during his travels throughout the Mississippi valley, he had never met the faboat man, SO naturally no such encounter ever took place.
 Another such story has to do with Andrew Jackson It relates how Jackson attended a meeting at which Cartwright was preaching. Seeing "Old Hickory" enter the church one of the elders whispered to the circuit rider: Broth CT Cartwright, you must be careful how you preach tonight. General Jackson has just come in" Thereupon Cartwright replied In loud voice: What do you suppose care for General Jackson? If he don't repent his sins, he will go to hell like any other man." This produced great consternation In the minds of the congre- gation, for they believed that the fery-tempered Jackson would cane the preacher at the first cp- portunity. Instead Jackson is said to have met him the next morning, greeted him cordially and said: "Slr, you are a preacher after my own heart. If had regiment of such men as you I'd conquer the earth"
 | It seems shame to spoil such a good story, but here is what Cartwright has to say about 1t | There is no truth in that story. It is true l had preaching place in the neighborhood of the | Hermitage (Jacksons home near Nashville, Tenn) The General occasionally came to our meetings, and I had been invited to the Hermi. tage. We were always on friendly terms" | Cartwright Is also said to have been the orig lnal of the story, told by Edward Eggleston In his book "The Circuit Rider" of the preacher who worked a turbulent audience up to a pitch of fury by his fearless denunciatlOn of their wckedness, and then just as they were making rush toward him, he blew out the candles on the pulpit-the only light In the church-and escaped unharmed while the members of the crowd, milling around in the darkness, were clawing, scratching and belaboring each other in their frenzy.
 Religion in those days was frequently strenu GUS affair." as Cartwright himself has testified. | "A new exercise broke out among us, called
 the jerks" he says, which was overwhelming
 in its effects upon the bodies and minds of the people Whether saints or sinners, they would be taken under a warm song or sermon ant seized with convulsive jerking all over, whicf they could not avoid. I have seen more thar
 800 persons jerking at one time. To obtain re lief they would rise up and dance. Some would

him Is he handled a band of rowdies who had bOasted that they would break up revival meet ing which he was holding In a little Illinois church. They gathered in the back of the church and began causing a disturbance while Cart wright was praying He continued praying but opened one eye to locate the troublemakers Sud denly he sprang over the pulpit, strode down the aisle and seized the two ringleaders. Bearing them down to the floor he sat astride of them and began pounding their heads on the floor Well, boys, .. if can't beat

 Because of such picturesque feats as this, 1t was only natural the legends should cluster around the name of Peter Cartwright some of them having a slight basis of fact and some no such basis at all. Of the latter class was the yarn of Cartwright's encounter with Mike Fink the renowned King of the Mississippi Flatboat Men" and the terror of that river and of the Ohio It was Fink's custom to challenge a new acuuanance to a knock kdcwn-anddrag-o out en- counter to see if-r1r- r-rrs7rcoffer worthy of his friendship According to the story, Cart wright was so challenged, promptly accepted and gave Fink a .sound thrashng thereby winning
