RIDING THE CIRCUIT
How Lincoln Made the Bent of ItM
and Dlxcomforts
The custom of l Sling the circuit was
of course born of necessity for In the
early days there was not sullicieut le
gal business in any one of the small
communities to support a lawyer to
say nothing of a law firm People
who wanted to begin lawsuits usually
sought their advisers iu the largest
town In their vicinity or waited the ar
rival of the circuit judge and the at
tendant bar when they could look over
the field and pick out the most avail
able champion Frequently however
the local attorneys were retained to
prepare the papers with instructions
to select a good man for the court
work when the circuit riding bar ar
rived on the scene There was there
fore an excellent chance of securing
good business by constant attendance
on the itinerant court and the lawyer
who visited all the counties was cer
tain to be more widely known than
any of his fellow practitioners At the
time of Lincolns second partnership
with Ilerndon however such work
was more a matter of choice than ne
cessity Doubtless the firm could have
made a satisfactory Income had the
senior partner devoted himself to the
courts nearest his home and maintain
ed a branch office in the distant coun
ties as other lawyers did but he liked
the freedom of the road and the hap
piest days of his life were those he
passed on these long legal tours
Traveling the circuit was compara
tively comfortable iu the fifties but it
still lacked something of the luxuries
and at times it involved hardships
which could be surmounted only by the
best of health and spirits
The inconvenience and discomforts
of the life were at times almost un
bearable but Lincoln was never known
to join in the frequent protests and
complaints of his associates Indeed
his sense of humor often saved the sit
uation and made it tolerable if not
enjoyable for himself and others lie
saw the comic side of all that irritated
men of more nervous temperament
and he disposed of annoyances with a
laugh so hearty and infectious that
even the disgruntled victims of petty
misfortunes had to join in his mirth
In an indolent easy manner he studied
the various types of human nature en
countered on the road took a direct
personal interest In the people he met
and made friends at every stopping
place All the court clerks and county
officials were glad to see him come and
sorry to have him depart He had a
wrarm welcome at every tavern door
and all sorts and conditions of men
claimed his close acquaintance But
despite this general popularity Lincoln
was not as he has frequently been de
picted an Irresponsible hail fellow well
met familiarly known as Abe who
went about slapping people on the
back and encouraging similar saluta
tions Nothing could be further from
the truth than this Judge Weidon in
formed the writer that in all his ac
quaintance with Lincoln on the circuit
the only person he ever heard address
him by his first name was a street
urchin whose Impertinence astonished
the future president quite as much as
it amused him and there is no reason
to believe that he courted such famil
iarities after he reached maturity
Frederick Trevor Hill in Century
The Thunders Long Roll
The prolonged roll of thunder is read
ily explained by comparison with a vol
ley fired along a line of troops Sup
pose troops to be drawn up on a lino in
such numbers as to extend for a mile
and ordered by a signal that all could
see to fire at once One standing at the
end of the line would hear the report of
the musket nearest him Instantly He
would hear the others successively
Thus a report 550 feet away would
come to him in half a second and ho
would not hear the last report for five
or six seconds after the gun had been
fired This would produce a sort of
roll which would gradually Increase In
intensity If the listener stood exactly
midway between the two ends of the
line the reports from both ends would
reach him at once and the sound would
be but half as long in reaching him as
if he stood at one extremity If the
soldiers formed a circle there would be
one sharp explosion Flashes of light
ning may be considered as represent
ing three lines of troops along which
the explosions occur at the same time
Consider the variety of distance and
position of the listener and we account
for the variety of sound in thunder In
mountainous regions the rolling is aug
mented by reverberations or echoes
A Famous Massacre
The Mountain Meadow massacre oc
curred in September 1S57 at a spot of
that name in Utah south or southwest
of Salt Lake Its victims were a party
of emigrants known as the Arkansas
company bound for California The
Mormons felt that they had cause for
revenge against emigrants to the Pa
cific coast alleging that several parties
cf them in passing through Utah had
treated them badly stealing or destroy
ing their property So when the Arkan
sas company was passing through Utah
the Mormons sent out runners to gath
er the Indians residing near and incite
them to massacre The poor emigrants
were led into an ambush and men wo
men and children were brutally slaugh
tered The bodies of the slain were
stripped and left unburled for a time
and later were thrown into shallow
graves where they were soon scented
and unearthed by the wolves The
United States sent out an expedition to
revenge the atrocity and the bones of
the murdered emigrants were given de
cent burial Several of the Instigators
of the massacre were afterward arrest
ed and brought to justice St Louis

A TIP FOR TOURISTS
The Way Trannlcnt Tenant Abroad
Are Iiunoned Upon
Before going abroad It Is meet that
the unsuspecting native should under
stand one of the ways he Is expected
to add to the income of thrifty France
if he means to stay in that country
This is best Illustrated by a veritable
experionce A New Yorker engaged
an apartment that had been previously
occupied by a member of his own fam
ily When the time came for giving it
up the china was all spread out on
the table and monsieur madame and
the concierge and candles went
through the rooms looking for the
damages that would have to be settled
for before the stranger left
They found the chairs were so in
jured that they would have to be re
seatedso much There was a crack
In the mirror over the mantel a new
glass would be necessary so much
Passing their hands under each of the
pieces of china they discovered so
many nicks and disfigurements that a
new set of china must be bought so
much Very well said the Ameri
can settling the bill at once
Now I have paid for the chairs for
the new glass and the china havent
I
Yes Monsieur was very amiable
Then theyre mine I always did
want to smash china Here goes
Raising his cane he brought it down on
the table and the china flew into frag
ments
This is my mirror Ill break that
too Whack went the mirror The
group was speechless but they were
not through with this madman plying
his cane One by one he stuck it
through the seats of the chairs wreck
ing them utterly
They are all paid for you know he
said with a gratified smile For you
see his relatives had told him that
when they gave up the apartment they
too had paid for reseating the chairs
replacing the glass and for the dam
aged china
Doubtless the articles had been paid
for many times Many of the owners
of these lodgings have secondhand
stores and from these the rooms are
furnished One set of broken down
chairs give place to another decrepit
sofa succeeds decrepit sofa and each
is a constant source of Income
After a time the wary stranger learns
to protect himself The manner is tedi
ous but measurably effective One
family after a residence of nine years
has reduced it to a science When en
gaging an apartment one day is devot
ed to going through it with the owner
and locating and registering all the
blemishes
Even the stains on the walls are
numbered with descriptive attach
ments
The proprietors Invariably protest
against such minuteness Ah ma
dame between ladies between per
sons of character But the mistress
unrelentingly pursues her way When
she gives up the apartment and the
pursuit for damages begins she has
with her her register and drawn
horses could not make her pay for a
stain if it is recorded In her book
In England the matter Is not such a
personal one When a house lodging
or an apartment is given up each party
i3 represented by an agent paid at
the rate of a guinea a day and ex
penses These agents are left to them
selves One of the requirements is
that everything must be touched to as
sure by personal contact Its state A
wall cabinet filled with curios must be
opened and a finger laid on each piece
In order to keep within the law These
agents who are usually fat and easy
going have an amicable sociable time
They are full of apologies each to the
other
Now dear sir we are not going to
draw the lines too tight
We on our part are quite sure that
you are disposed to be quite fair
Thus they glide swiftly through the
piles of bed linen over the stacks of
china and make haste to go out and
have a two hours lunch together
New York Globe
The Wares of an Iron Bridge
A train always exerts greater strain
on an iron bridge when going quickly
than when going slowly but the differ
ence in the strain depends on the struc
ture of the bridge and is much more
in some cases than in others When
the train goes over the bridge it causes
a wave to travel along the structure
owing to the elasticity of the iron
That part of the bridge just in front of
the train is raised a little and the part
under the train is lowered so that each
part of the bridge is successively raised
and lowered as the train goes over it
and the more quickly the train travels
the more sudden this will be and con
sequently the more violent The strain
produced will vary with the square of
the velocity of the wave so that the
train will exert four times the strain
when it doubles its velocity and nine
times when it triples its velocity
Origin of BotvInK
The bow said an antiquary orig
inated in a cower The weak savage
to save himself from being knocked
down by the stronger one when they
met groveled upon the earth and thus
the bow arose
The lifting of the hat is of much
later date than the bow It Is derived
from the time when men wore armor
When two armor clad knights met in
those days and fell into talk they took
off their helmets as a sign of mutual
confidence They exposed their heads
to fchow that they respected and trust
ed one another to show that neither
was afraid of being brained hence
the modern lifting of the hat a saluta
tion whose meaning is
I hold you in such reverence that
without fear I place my life In your
hands New York Press
