The career of General James Shields forms a fascinating chapier of American history It combines the ever-charming incidents of pioneer life, the thrilling record ot Jndian warfare, the dash ana reckless enthusiasm of a Custeror a Kearney in the Maxican war, supplemented and rounded out in the war of the rebellion. Add to this his record as a senator from three states and as a law- yerand jurist ot notable attainments, snd We have a career as rare as it is heroic, ad- mirable asa whoie, inspiring patriotisn: by its unseifish devotion, ana model in public and poivate rectitude. The fighting quali- ties which were the marked characteristics of General Shields m the batilefield, and forum had their inception in his ative land—Ireland. Born in Tyrone county he imbibed vhe lessons of resistance to Lyraany on soil hallowed by the daring exploits of Owea Roe O'Neill in hisworic Dungannon Coming to America in 1526, at the age of 16, he settled in Kankaskiz, IlL. then an out- t of civilization. Later he moved to lleville. There in the early '40s heran for congress. Lyman Trumbull ran against him. There was s third man in the field. His pame was Bob Smith. Beb had only four votes.

But Trumbull, supposedly learniag of it, turned his fodowing over 0 Smith and elected him, The Liocoln-Shieids “Duel,” hortly after this Shields was elected audilor. According % varying accounts Shields and Lincola were rivais for the hand of Mary Todd,and a challenge to mortal combat was the outcome, Shields being tne challenger. Ex-Congressman Morrison of Iltinois gives this version of the absurd affair. illustrating Lincoln's appreciation of the ridiculous: I don’t remember the details,” the colonel said, “but somehow or other Shieids and Lancoln got into a row. Some one tola Lincoln that he would have o fight Shields. Dueling was the proper thing in those days, and, although 1 don't fancy that Lincoln took much stock in the code, he made a wvirtue of aecessity or of custom, and after being told that there was no help for it, said 'Oh, well, 1 wil! fight bim.* “Some oue asked Linceln his choice of ‘weapons. *Is it my choice?
