He opened an office near Atchison. His law library was mado up of three books, and the whole of his furniture was a chair and a table. His first client was a carpenter, and his fee y.t paid in kind. He got a table and a high dfesk for his legai services, and this desk painted green is kept In the Ingalls In-galls family today as one of its most precious pre-cious pieces of furniture. It belongs to Ingalls' son, Ellsworth, who carried it with him to college and who probably now uses it ne a part of his office furniture furni-ture in tho starting of his law practice. Cor.
