I'iti great battle with monopolists in
the city of Tacoraa, though Taconia
was only a small village at the time,
lie had arrived lu Tacoma with a
wife, a baby, and $35 in cash.
He was born back In Illinois

put on his shoes at that age, walk
ed into Springfield and studied law
witlj Gen. John M. Palmer, after
wards a senator iu congress and, In
1S9C, the candidate of the Gold
democrats for president.
He slept in a back room of the
office, and on a bed of his own
manufacture. Ho swept the floors,
kindled the fire, and washed the
windows—occasionally. Gen. Palmer
paid him 35 a month. Ho lived on
