AMERON BLOCK

ODYSSEUS.

f the Famoas Weroes of Modern Greece,

In the last years of Shelley and his friend Byron the beginning of the Greck revolu- tion turned the minds of these two poets, and of all western Europe and North America, toward the fair land which the genius of Byron had anew revealed to the civilized world. Byron, in the early can- tos of ‘‘Don Juan’’ (written in 1820, but not published till 1821), had fo adowed the Grecian revolt, and Sheer in the summer of 1821, when that revolt was in full tide of its early success, wrote his drama, ‘‘Hellas,’’ turning on those suc- cesses, and dedicated to Prince Mavyrocor- dato, so famons throughout the national history of Greece. In this poem he makes allusion to one of the most distinguished of the Greek chieftains, Odysseus (Ulysses, born in Ithaca, like Homer's hero, his namesake), with whom Shelley's Cornish friend, Trelawny. was soon aftcr to be digastrously associated:

A brighter Hellas rears its mountains, From waves serener far;

A new Peneus rolls its fountains Against the morning star;

A new Ulysses leaves once more

Calypso for his native shore.

He had a stern and frowning look that showed confidence and daring. His eyes and hair were chestnut, his nose thin and straight, his forehead prominent, his head large and his shoulders broad. It might be said with truth that Odysseus was the yery man celebrated in the popular song quoted by Passow:

A sturdy rock his shoulders broad, his locks are chestnut brown, r

His breast is like a brazen wall—no force can break it down.

‘Moreover, he was very strong handed, fleet footed and able to make long marches. They even say he outran some of the swift- est horses. Certainly he had few equals in strength, courage, sagacity and physical beauty.’’—F. B. Sanborn in Scribner’s.

I lost the entire use of my limbs, and it looked as though I was doomed tos pend the rest of wy days a helpless wreck, Mr. Young, of the Courier, who had observed the excellent reeuite following the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in other cases advised me to give them a trial, and I acted on his advice.

KNEW LINCOLN WELL,

The First Meeting Was In the Flatboat- ing Days—Served Together Afterward In the Black Hawk War—Was Lincoln

a Humorist by Nature?

Uncle Philip Clark, who died in Mat- toon, Ills., on Feb. 18, 1897, was the last person to die of those intimately associat- ad with Abraham Lincoln in the emanci- pator’s early experience in Sangamon and Menard counties. The frosts of 85 winters had whitened the old man’s locks at the time of his death, but they had not chilled his enthusiasm or weakened the interest in the man he learned to love and admire in his youth and whose memory he cher- tshed until death.

I had many conversations with Mr. Clark about Lincoln. Shortly before Uncle Philip’s death he told me that he first met Lincoln in 1831 under circumstances which were such as to live in his memory.

“The scene of my first meeting with him is as vivid in memory as my walk down town yesterday,’’ said the old man, whose cye twinkled with tho keen sense of the grotesque aroused by some features of the incident. Thisis the story as he told it to me:

‘*My father and I were living about sight miles ‘rom Springfield and were em- barking in the business of flatboating, which was a sort of craze, as you now call it, among the well todo old settlers who sought a market for their flour and pork on the lower Mississippi. We were loading on the south fork of the Sangamon when one day in the midst of our work we ob- served a tall, lank, lean stranger eoming out of the woods and toward us,

‘*He had on a ragged coat, an old droop- ing hat and a pair of tattered jean pants, the half of one leg of which was then off and the other extended down into a rough, coarse pair of gaping shoes. His appear- ance made me laugh, and I winked at fa- ther, who soon began to converse with him. Iwas 15 years old and the visitor wis then about 22. He soon toki us his mission. Hedid not smile. He was so earnest all the while that his very earnest- noss impressed me. He bore a letter to my father from Denton Offut, an old ac- quaintance of ours who had a flatboat on the other fork of the river which had caught on a snag in the stream and defied the efforts of the men to remove it. The visitor was Abe Lincoln, and the letter he brought was one asking my father for

help. Father told me to accompany Lin- coln to Offut’s boat. He was to come on later.

‘*‘Lincoln and I walked together six miles to where the boat was stuck. Ina

few moments we dislodged it and sent it,

floating down to the fork of the river.

“T have often heard Lincoln credited with joking and merrymaking late in life, and some have called him a humorist by nature. With all due regard for the opin- ions of the great men who seem to know so much moreof Lincoln’s heart and mind than we who grew up with him, I must deny the correctness of this, for he was the saddest and most earnest man I ever knew, und had my acquaintance with him ter- minated and had I never heard of him after that flatboat event, I would never have forgotten the impression of sorrow he made on metben. If Abe Lincoln learned anything, he learned how to joke, for the nrt was not bred with him, but came to hiia in after years to oil the great machine of mind straining under the burdens that God chose to put upon him.

‘*He told me in my conversation at that first meeting that he was working for $8 a month. He talked freely, but deliberately, and had a faculty of impressing those around him. You would call it mesmer- ism nowadays.

‘‘Mr. Lincoln and Offut waited for us two days at the fork of the river, and at the end of that time my father, myself and William McLease, with the boat steerer, Sam McKee, joined them. There was danger of the snags, and we all tied up at night and built a fire and enjoyed our- selves socially. Lincoln told me he thought he could better his situation, as he had no liking for the flatboat business. He thought seriously of settling at Walnut Hills, a place not farfrom Beardstown. But we did not agree as to the enterprise, and Lincoln abandoned this idea.

‘‘The trip to Beardstown required seven @ays. We had a man of the name of Ward who did the cooking, and had a skiff to take us ashore when we wished to land at any place. During this trip I became as well acquainted with Lincoln as one young man well could with another. His conversation was such as to draw out in- formation fromm his companions. He was always, even in those cheerless times aspiring to better knowledge and better position.

“*T returned to * home near Springfield after parting wi my new friend at Beardstown. Idid not go farther down the river at that time, and he went to New Orleans. Neighborhoods then were nota few miles across as now, but they covered immense spaces. People spoke of others living 30 or 40 miles away as neighbors, though the country was beginning to fill up. ‘‘I saw Lincoln occasionally, but was not again associated with him until the spring of 1832, when, with a number of others, I enlisted for the Black Hawk war, and by my own choice in Mr. Lincoln’s company. I was surprised and glad to see him an officer, We went together to Beardstown, where, on account of my ability as a boat steerer and my knowledge of the waters, I was transferred to another company and went to Fort Armstrong, near Rock Island. Lincoln secured me the position, and it wasa great improve- ment on the duties of a private. soldier on the march. I was given the choice of row- boats and many other nice privileges.

‘*Lincoln rejoined us at the fort, and the army proceeded up the river. I was with Lincoln every day now, and made the ac- quaintance of several other men whom I did not then think would figure in history. There were Jeff Davis, a second lieutenant in the Seventh infantry, and Joe John- ston, captain. I got to know them both. Davis drilled my company. I met and knew Zach Taylor, who walked round over the boats every day in an old rough blouse, making him look like anything but a commander. But beneath his gruff and short wordeI learned to know that’ old Zach had a kind heart.’’—Chicago Times- Kerzid.

“ Why didn't you keep to your own side of the road

! & You Blooming Idiot”

Well, perhaps it war my fault, but never mind, I have a pot ot *“Ouickeure’™ Ie my kit and it will cure , our bruises before we get home. You never saw any~ thing like the way it will heal a cut or a bruise of any kind, and for sprains and strains ic is—well, it is just ** out of sight.’’

Henry levers, L.D.S., Quebec, writes:

“One of my children sprained her ankle, which

became much swollen and discoloured. Some ‘Quickcure’

was spread on linen, and applied; the pain ceased at once, the

swelling was gone the next day, and on the fourth day she walked

to school as usual. I have also proved it to be a wonderful remedy for cuts and bruises.
