But Hill { MaNeill had no need of a clerk. Rowan Herndon and Willian Berry—he of the morning glory shirt—had opened a general store. Mr. Herndon offered to sell his in- terest to Abe and take notes for his pay. It was not a proposition that promised anything but loss, — ‘The community was small and there were the nd a deep sense of obligation to it In his cups he acquired a notable genorosity and politeness, in the words of Juck Kelso he was thon “as placid as 4 mill pond and as full of reflection.” He had many friends und no one had questioned his hon- esty, Abe Lincoln had not been trained to weigh the consequences of a bus- iness enterprise. ‘The store would give ‘burn leisure for study and New Salem could offer him nothing else save consuming toil with the axe or the saw. He could not tink of leav- ing the little cabin village. There were Ann Rutledge and Jack Kelso and Sumson Traylor and Harry Need~ les, Every ladder climber in the vil- lage and on the plain around it was his iriend. Upon these people who knew and respected him Abe Lincoln based his hopes. Among them he had found his vision, and failure had not dimin- ished or dimmed it, He would try again for @ place in whioh he could serve them and if he could learn to verve Sangamon County he could learn to serve the State and, possibly, even the Republic.

At one place there were men in the crowd who knew Harry's record in the war. They called on him for a speech. He spoke on the need of the means of transportation in Sangamon County with such in sight and dignity and convincing candor that both Abe and the audt ence hailed him as a coming man.
