' When Samson paid Mr. Gollaher, a "detector" came with the latter to look at the money before it was accepted. There were many counterfeits and bills good only at a certain discount of face value going about those days and the detector was in great request. Directly after moving in, Samson dug a well and lined it with a hollow log. He bought tools and another team and then he and Harry began their fall plowing. Day after day for weeks they paced with their turning furrows until a hundred acres, stretching half a mile to the west and well to the north of the house, were blaek with them. Fever and ague descended upon the little home in the early winter. In a letter to her brother, dated January 4th, 1832, Sarah writes: "We have been longing for news from home, but not a word has come from you. It don't seem as if we could stand it unless we hear from you or some of the folks once in a while. We are not dead Just because we are a thousand miles away. We want to hear from you. Please write and let us know how father and mother are and all the news. We have all been sick with the fever and ague. It. is a beautiful country and the soil Is very rich, but there is some sickness. Samson and I were both sick at the same time. I never knew Samson to give up before. He couldn't go on, his head ached so. Little Joe helped me get the fire started and brought «ome water and waited on us. Harry Needles had gone away to Springfield for Mr. Offut with a drove of hogs. Two other boys are with him. He is going to buy a new suit. He is a very proud boy. Joe and Betsey got back with the doctor at nine. That night Abe Lincoln ceme and sat up with us and gave us our medicine and kept the fire going. It wa'# comical to see bim lying beside Joe in his trundle bed, with his long legs sticking over the end of it and his feet standing on the floor about' a yard from the. bed. He was spread all over the prace. He tallied about religion and his views would shock most of our friends In the East. He doesn't believe In the kind of Heaven that the ministers talk about or any eternal hell. He says that nobody knows anything about the hereafter, except that God is a kind and forgiving father and that all men are His children. He says that we can only serve God by serving each other. He seems to think that every man, good or bad, black or white, rich or poor, is his brother. He thinks that Henry Clay, next to Daniel Webster, is the greatest man in the country. He is studying hard. Expects to go out and make speeches for Clay next summer. He is qtfite severe in his talk against General! Jackson. He and Samson agree in politics and religion. They are a goodNieal alike. He is very fond of Samson wid Harry-- calls them his partners. We love this big awkward giant. His feet are set in the straight way and we think that he is going to make his mark In the world. "You said yon would come oat next Wring to look about Please don't disappoint us. I think it would almost break my heart I am counting the days. Don't be afraid of fever and ague. Sapington's pills cure It in three or.four days. I would take the steamboat at Pittsburg, the roads in Ohio and Indiana are so bad. You can get a steamer up the Illinois river at Alton and get off at Beardstown and drive across country. If we knew when you were coming Samson or Abe would meet you. Give our love to all the. folks and friends. "Yours affectionately, "Sarah and Samson." It had been a cold winter and not easy to keep comfortable in the little house. In the worst weather Samson had used to get-up at night to keep the fire going. Late In January a wind from the southeast melted the snow and warmed the air of the midlands so that, for a week or so, it seemed as If spring were come. One night of this week Sambo aw&ke the family with his barking. A Strong wind was rushing across the plains and roaring over the cabin and wailing in its chimney. Syddenly there was a rap on its door.' When Samson opened it he saw in the moonlight a young colored man and woman standing near the doorstep. "Is dls Mlstah Traylor?" the young man asked. . "It is," said do for you?" "Ma**r. de good Lord fane fetched - ' 1. • 'VA, . .. . as here to ask yon td>* help," said the negro. "We be nigh wane out with cold an' hungah, suh, 'deed we be." ISgmson asked them in and put wood <fc' the fire, and Sarah got up and made some hot tea and brought food from the clipboard and gave It to the strangers, who sat shivering In the firelight. They were a good-looking pair, the young woman being almost white. They were man and wife. The latter stopped eating and moaned and shook with emotion as her husband told their story. Their master had . diet! the year before and they had been brought to St. Louis to be sold in the slave market. There they had escaped by,, night and gone to tlie house of an old friend of their former owner who lived north of the city on the river shore. He had taken pity on' them and brought them across the Mississippi and started them on the north road with a letter to Elijah Lovejoy of Alton and a supply of food. Since then they had been hiding day* in the swamps and thickets and had traveled by night. Mr. Lovejoy had sent them to Erastus1 Wright of Springfield, and Mr. Wright had given theth the name of damson Traylor and the location of his cabin. From there they were bound for the house of John Peasley, in Hopedale, Tazewell county. Lovejoy had asked them to keep the letter with which they had begun their travels. The letter stated that their late master had often expressed his purpose of leaving them their freedom when he should pass away. He had. left no will and since his death the two had fallen into the hands, of his nephew, a despotic, violent young drunkard of the name of Biggs. Samson was so moved by their story that he hitched up his horses and put some hay in the wagon box and made off with the fugitives up the road to the north in the night. When daylight »*• "• "Whet MB I Up the Read to the North in the Night came he covered them with hay. About eight o'clock he came to a frame honse and barn, the latter being of unusual size for that time and country. Above the door of the barn was a board which bore the stenciled legend: "John Peasley, Orwell Farm." As Samson drew near the house he observed a man working on the roof of a woodshed. Something familiar in his look held the eye of the New Salem man. In half a moment he recognized the face of Henry Brimstead. It was now a cheerful face. Brimstead came down from the ladder and they shook hands. "Good land o' Goshen! How did you get here?" Samson asked. Brimstead answered: *' "Through the helppf a feller that looks like you an' the grit of a pair o' horses. Come down this road early in September on my way to the land o' plenty. Found Peasley here. Couldn't help it. Saw his name on the Used to go4crachool with him in O well. He offerea^o sell me some landf with a house on Iran' trust me for hi# pay. I liked the looks o' the country and so I didn't go no further. I was goin* to write you a letter, but I hain't got around to It yet Ain't forgot what you done for us, t can tell ye that." •"Weil, this lodes better than the sand plains--a lot better--and you look better than the flea farmer back in York state. How are th* children?" ^ r "Fat an' happy an' well dressed. Mrs. Peasley has been a mother to 'em an' her sister is goin' to be a wife to me." He came close to Samson and added in a confidential tone: "Say, if I was any happier I'd be scairt. , I'm like I was when I got over the tooth* ache--so scairt for fear It would come back I was kind o' miserable." Mr. Peaaley came out of the door. He was a big, full-bearded, Jovial man. "I've got a small load o' hay fer you," said Samson. - "I was expecting It, though I supposed 'twould be walkln'--In the dark o' night," Peasley answered. "Drive In on the barn floor." when Samson had driven into the barn Its doors were closed and the negroes were called from their place of hiding. Samson writes: "I never realized what a blessing it is to be free until I saw that scared man and woman crawling out from under the dusty hay and shaking themselves H£e a pair of dogs. The weather was not cold or I guess they would have been frozen. They knelt together on the barn floor and the woman prayed for God's protection through the day. Peasley brought food *oe them and stowed them away on uie top of hip haymow with a pair of buffalo skins. I suppose they got some sleep there. I went into the house to breakfast and while I ate Brimstead told me about his trip. His children were there. They looked clean and decent. He lived in a log cabin a little further up the road.

She '.'h: 'i. t . <:m joke and hat ljto ahswer time.** * For details of the remainder of the historic visit of Samson Traylor to the home bf John Peasley we are Indebted to a letter from John to his brother Charles, dated February 21, 1832. In this he says: • ' "We had gone out jto the barn and Brimstead and I were helping Mr. Traylor hitch up his horses. All of a sudden two men came riding up the road ata fdst trot and turned in and come straight toward us and pulled up by the wagon. One of them was a slim, red-cheeked young teller about twenty-three years old. He wore top boots and spurs and a broad-brimmed black hat and gloves and a fur waistcoat and purty linen. He loked at the tires of the wagon and said: That's the one we've, followed.' "'Which 0' you la Samson TrtylorTV he asked. •"I am* said Traylor. "The young feller Jumped off hU horse and tied him to the fence. Then he went up to Traylor and said: "'What did you do with my nlggers, you dirty sucker?' "Men from Missouri hated the lilt-* nols folks them days and called 'em Suckers. , - , '"Hain't,you a Uttle reckleasryoung feller?' Traylor said, as cool as a cucumber. He stood up nigh the barn door, which Brimstead had closed after we backed the wagon out "The young feller stepped close to the New Salem man J and raised his whip for a blow. Quick as iightnln' Traylor grabbed him and threw him ag'in the Iparn door, keewhack! He hit so hard the boards bent and the whole barn roared and trembled. The other feller tried to get his pistol out of Its holster, but Brimstead, who stood besidq him, grabbed It, and I got his hoss by the bits and <we both held on. The young feller lay on the ground shakin' as if he had the ague. Ye never see a man so spylt in a second. Traylor picked him up. His right arm was.broke and his face and shoulder bruised some. Ye'd a thought a steam engyne had blowed up while he was puttin' wood in It. He was kind o' limp and the mad had leaked out o' him. " 'I reckon I better find a doctor,' he says. ' "'You get into my wagon, and m take ye to a good one,' says Traylor. "Just then Stephen Nuckles, the circuit minister, rode in with the big bloodhound that follers him around. "The other slaver had got off his hoss in the scrimmage. Traylor started for him.| The slaver began to back away and suddenly broke into a run.; The big dog took after him with a klrid of a lion roar. We all began yelling at the dog. We made more noise than you'd hear at the end of a hoss race. It scairt the young feller. He put on more steam and went up the ladder to the roof of the woodshed like a chased weasel. The dog stood barkin' as if he had treed a bear. Traylor grabbed the ladder and pulled it down. " 'Xou stay there till I get away an' you'll be safe,' said he. "The man looked down "and swore and shook his fist and threatened us with the law. "Mr. Nuckles rode dose to the woodshed and looked up at him. "'My brother, I fear you be not a Christian,' he said. * "He swore at the minister. That settled him. 'I reckon he better stay thar till he gits a little o' God's grace in his soul,' says the minister. "Then he says to the dog: 'Ponto^ you keep 'im right thar.'

NOCTURES ON THE GANGES Scavenger Birds Perform Function That la in High Degree Repulsive to Westerners. C On December 2, 1820, writes a correspondent, I was in th£ vicinity of the Massacre Ghat of evil repute In the Mutiny of 1857, and saw a vulture over the Ganges. This scavenger bird was apparently on the surface of the * water, and was flapping Its huge wings, for all the world as if "a small crocodile had gripped its talons and was trying to drag it under. Then I observed a white object come to the surface momentarily and bob under again. My Interest was aroused at the strange proceeding^ which followed. The vulture flapped its wings as the weight of the flotsam told on Its strength. Again the white broke the surface and aa it did so the huge bird, with fully opened wing, appeared to be using Itself In the manner <8f a sail, and, with the help of the breeke, which was blowing, stirred its prey out of the mid-stream, flopping every now and then, till at last it ran the white object right up on a gently sloping shelf of sand on the near bank. By this time the air was thick with birds, and no sooner Ifed the vulture in questton beached Its capture than a cluster of like birds swooped down, and the whole commenced an orgy of feasting and fighting. The next day a hqra»%,ffcel»top 'remained. Practical Bible Warning. "There are extraordinary sarcasms in coincidences," says Alexander Black, author of "The Seventh Angel" and 'The Great Desire.*' "One night a thief made off with my overcoat from a restaurant It was not the sort of restaurant In which one is admonished to be alert. Moreover, I had never been robbed of anything In my life. I had had no admonitory experience. Naturally the incident made a rather profound impression. The weather deepened that Impression. 'That same night J happened to open y Bible to verify the location of the erse from which I took the title of e Seventh Angel.' And in the verse mmedlately preceding I read these artllng words: 'Blessed Is he tefretb and lfrsepoth his ganaentv (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Thousands of-dollars' worth of good hog feed goes every year to the feeding of mange mites and lice, it is shown by reports to the. United State? Department of Agriculture. That is to say, after the hogs have fed on the corn and other forage and put it in the way of becoming hams, bacon or side pork, the parasites swarming over the animals' bodies take the!* toll and reduce the victims' flesh through discomfort and disease. These parasites are more numerous and active in cold weather, when the hair is thick, but summer is an excellent time to exterminate the pests that remain over tite season. ^ Hogs Like to Wallow. The instinctive habit of the hog to wallow In water when the weather is warm may be taken advantage of in applying treatment for external parasites, department experts say. B/ medicating the water in properly constructed wallows, remedies for lice and mange may be applied In a satisfactory manner with a mlhimum expenditure of money, time and labor. If the results from the use of medicated wallows are to be satisfactory, however, it is necessary to consider the nature and habits bf the animals to be treated and plan accordingly. If conditions are such that hogs may exercise, choice in the matter, they invariably select shallow water in which to wallow. If the nostrils can be kept above the surface easily, me hog will lie down on its side and roll, then get up and repeat the operation on the other side until the entire body, la wet. The proper depth of liquid in the wallow depends upon the size and number of hogs using the w^Jlow>sFor pigs weighing from 40 to 80 pounds, the warllow should be charged w^tli liquid to the depth of about 3 indies. For hogs from 80 'to 150 pounds, 4 inches is sufficient. . The medl liquid shbuld never be so deep hogs ate afTald to lie In it. For a number of hogs of varied sizes, a depth of* from 3 to 4 inches is most practicable. No medicine should be added until the hogs have had three or four days to get accustomed to the wallow. It should not be kept medicated for more than about 48 hours at a time, as the hogs can get tflell soaked In that time, and constantj application is liable to Irritate the/skin. Aftej that, medicaments may be added Intervals of a week^or ten d^ys. Simple Remedy as Effective. Crude petroleum Is one of the simplest remedies that can be obtained for the purpose, and Is the only one that will eradicate both lioe and mange with one treatment. No heating equipthat ment is necessary and any kind of reasonable good water can be used. The oil apparently does not injure the animals if thq, freshly oiled hogs receive proper care and attention. Unprocessed crude oil, as It coine* from tfre wells, is probably the most effective crude oil dip. However, processed crtide petroleum, known to the trade as fuel oil, which is the residue from manufacturing gasoline and other light hydrocarbons, is' commonly used and is effective in eradicating lice and mange/ As a rule, the thinner tfce processed crude oil, the better it 18 for a dip or wallow. . In using oil in wallows, about/One pint for each pig or one quart foj/?ach grown hog Is recommended. This can best be determined by observing whether the pigs use the wallow and whether their bodies Decome weJl coated with oil. If all arevnot well coated, add more oil to the wallow. The oil will make the water distasteful enough so the hogs will not try to. drink It. . Hog wallows are comparatively easy of construction. For best results, they should be of. fonprete, sufficiently large to accommodate the number of pigs in the inclosure, and with one side sloping to give easy'access. The oil floating on the surface of the water limits or prevents evaporation, and the water if exposed to the sun during t'he day soon becomes so.warm that hogs will not lie in it. If the wftllow is exposed to the direct rays of the sun during summer months so that the hogs will not lie In It, it is advisable to construct a shade over it and the oil should be a<lded in the evening. Oil added after sundown is usually carried out on the bodies of the hogs before noon the next day. A shady, well-ventilated place should be provided for freshly oiled hogs. All wallows should be drained and cleaned as often as necessary to keep them and the surroundings in good sanitary condition. It is very important that the wallow be properly constructed and cared for; otherwise it will soon get into a filthy and insanitary condition. Hog lice do not live long when separated from the animal, but as a precautionary measure all small lncloseures which have contained lousy hogs Should be cleaned and disinfected before being used for a new lot of hogs. The litter apd manure should be removed and the floors cleaned, after which the wbodwork and floors should be/^prayed with a good disinfectant. '•^Farmers' Bulletin 1085, "Hog L.ice and Mange," 'gives much useful information about the pests and methods of eradication. -It will be sent on request to' the division of publications, Department of Agriculture, Washington. .SOWING TURNIPS TO fOLLOW • VEGETABLES No Better Crop to Utilize Vacant 5 They Are tfteful for the Tsrtjfe, and to a Limited Extent Will Supply Place of Potatoes--Reasona- * ¥ ? W y R i c h S o l i N e e d e d . ' • • (ptfpared by the United States De#a«e« ' ment of Agriculture.) As a crop to utilize garden space after early vegetables have been harvested, nothing Is better than turnips. Turnips should be planted in most parts of the country about July 25, but in the extreme South as late as the last of August and can be left In the ground until after several light frosts or all winter in the South. They are useful as a table vegetable, and to a limited extent will supply the place of potatoes. It Is the general opinion of specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture that the American public could consume many more turnips than It does, a fact of particular interest this year when thereuseems every indication jA® curtailed potato crop. . ,<*•*" For field sowing, turnips are^sually broadcasted. The particular^ requirement is a reasonably rich soil finely raked and leveled off to avoid water collecting in pools. The seed should 4* be sowed sparingly. One homely rule is to take the quantity which seems sufficient and divide it in half. After .the seeds have been scattered on the Surface of the ground, they should be raked in. This may be done by dragging a piece of brush over the ground. Th* surface should be well smoothed. It is a good plan to sow turnips Just after a rain, glying them opportunity to sprout before a crust forms. After sowing, they wkl need little attention until harvest V.v ' Appreciates Good Seed Bed. ^ Millet, like any other crop, appreciates a good .seed bed. After plowing the ground use the disk or harrow until there is a Ann seed bed and a mellow surface.

CANDLE AND GRADE ALL EGGS Department of Agriculture Ervdeavor- - bHfcts Teaeh Women Beat Ways of Marketing. Farm women frequently have entire chafge of the marketing of eggs, butter and poultry. In some states they form what are called "egg circles" for marketing their eggs to large quantities. The eggs are collected regularly by one of the members or by some one hired by the circle. Efforts are being made by marketing agents of the United States Department of Agriculture to teach these farm women the value of properly candling and grading the eggB so that only the best are marketed.
