With the demolition of the old Kelley tavern, torn down recently to make room for a barn, there passed one of the famous old hostelries of Illinois. Built In 18"9, the old tavern became the stopping place of all west bound travelers, it three years .

"Oh. you mean! well, all right." returned the friend, visited the scornfully, "but when place the other day I found that about ten families were raising cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes in the bath tubs." Built Building Near Urbana, III., in 1837 and Conducted as Hotel During War Days, Is No More. being the only hotel between Danville and Urbana, on the state road. For years it enjoyed great popularity, especially during its ownership by Joseph Kelley, who operated it from 1849 until 1804. During the 50s it was the regular stopping place of the old time circuit-ridinlawyers, among whom were Abraham Lincoln and Both Lincoln Judge David Davis. and Davis were warm friends of Kelley, whose ready wit and great fund of stories made- - him a favorite with both men. Kelley was a great story teller, and during the months intervening between the April and September terms of court he searched assiduously for "new stories to tell Abe." When Lincoln and the retinue of circuit-ridinlawyers and judge arrived Kelley was in his glory. Out on the long porch of the hotel or before the immense fireplace he and Lincoln would sit for hours "swapping stories" to the delight of the other of Judge lawyers and particularly Davis, who was never so happy as when listening to his old friends at their favorite amusement. Often Lin- coln's coming, being heralded about . the surrounding country, drew scores of farmers to the hotel, and not infrequently residents of Urbana drove down to enjoy the contest between the two great story tellers. However well equipped with new material was Mr. Kelley he always found himself van quished by Mr. Lincoln, whose fund of anecdotes seemed inexhaustible. Old residents say that the two champions frequently told stories almost all night.

The old chair is still in the possession of the Kelley family, one of its most Davis cherished heirlooms. always lay on the floor, seldom speaking, but drinking in every word of the narratives, his hearty laugh ringing out Misunderstanding. Apropos of a misunderstanding on the canteen question, Gen. Frederick D Grant said at a dinner in Washington: "It. Is like the case of my friend Maj. Green said to his Maj. Green servant one morning: " 'James, 1 have left my mess boots out, I want them soled.' "'Yes sir,' the servant answered. "The major, dressing for dinner that night, said again: " suppose. James, that you did as I told you about those boots?' "James laid 35 cents on the bureau. " 'Yes, sir,' said he, 'and this is all I could get for them; though the corporal who bought 'em said he'd have given half a dollar If pay day hadn't beeu so far off.' " i Sympathy Not Needed. Nansen, Norway's famous arctic explorer, now minister to Gerat Britain, makes light of the sympathy expressed by many persons enent the "hardships" of travelers. He says: "There never was such misplaced sympathy as commiserating a man who has lived in the wilds. Most men who travel in parts of the world do so because they like ft. People who live in the center of what Is called civilization do not cannot realize, the spell that getting close to nature, battling with He does nature, has on the heart." not believe in the use of alcoholic beverages, holding that while liquor will raise the temperature for a few minutes, after that It falls lower than before.
