Soon she aald: "Theres a bitter wind blowing and theres no hurry about the rail, I guess. You alt here by the fire and read your book this forenoon. Maybe It will help you to find your work." So It happened that the events of Harry's morning found their pluce In the diary which Sarah and Samson kept, Long afterward Harry added the sentences about the rator. One evening Sarah and Samson, with llarry, went to a debate In the tavern 00 the Issues of the day. In which Abe won the praise of all for an aide presentation of the claim of Internal Improvements. During that evening Alexander Ferguson declared that he would not cut his hair until Henry Clay became President. the news of which resolution led to a like insanity in others and an age of unexampled hairiness on that part of the border. For Samson and Sarah the roost notable social event of the winter was a chicken dinner at which tliey and Mr. and Mrs. Jaiues Rutledge and Ann and Abe Lincoln and (Vtctor Allen were the guests of the Kelsoa. That night Harry stayed at home with the children. Kelso was In hla best mood. Come," he sold, when d.nner ws ready. "Life Is more than friendship. It Is pertly meat" "And mostly Kelso." said .

This bo hoped to accomplish by doing something which would make him worthy of It. He had been thinking of tho county. A railroad would do more for It than anything else, but a railroad would be too costly. The Improvement of the Sangamon river waa the next best thing. He favored a usury law and said, la view of the talk he. had just heard, he was going to favor the Improvement and building of schools, so that every one could learn how to read, at least, and learn for himself what is In the Bible aud other great books. It was a modest statement and we all liked It." "Whatever haptens to Sangamon, one statement In that platform couldn't be Improved, said Kelso. "What Is that ? Abe asked. Its the one that says you wish to win l he regard of your fellows by serving them." Karly in April an lndsau scare spread from the capital to the reroot-ge- t 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. whose address to the voters .
