1 felt sorry for those farmers—sorry be
cause they had so suddenly plunged into
the d rty mad stream of politics and were
dally aud nightly and hourly besieged,
importuned and harassed by the eager,
restless crowd of lobbyists for their
votes. It is enorgh to make the clear
head of a veteran swim. How can an un
suspecting farmer stand it? If he listens
to them a 1 and trusts them all he dots
not know what to do, and yet it will not
do to hide from them, or treat them with
disrespect. With many it is lik the last
speech before a jury and no Judge to
counteraot its influence. It re mi u as me
or Jim Perkins, who was elected a justice
of ths peace away back before the war
It was anew business to Jim, and there
nevsr was a more tiusting, unsuspecting
man. He was a true gentleman himself,
and believed everything that was told
him. 1 remembor that the first case that
was tried before him, I was for the
plaintiff and made my little speech so
clear and convincing that Jim did not
hesitate s moment, but took bis pen and
said:
“Major, the court are satisfied. Ti e

Tom Alexander bounced to his feet
and exclaimed: “But hold on, your
honor. Hold on, If you please. I repre

Jim laid down bis pen and said: “I
beg your pardon, colonel. I beg your
pardon. I forgot that you were to speak.
Of course the court wiU hear you. Pro
ceed, sir.”
By the time that Tom had concluded, a
change had come over Jim’s mind—a
very great change—and be seized his pen
ana remarked: .
“The oourt will have to give judgment
against yon. Colonel Alexander is cer
tainly tni the right.” ,
“Bat hold on, your honor,” said I;

“Tnat’s enough, Major. This court are

rather small, and he has a trick of half
closing them when talking to you. His
mustache is white, ami there is not enough
of it to hide the expression of his mouth,
which looks as though lie might be terri
bly bitter iu his speech on occasion. Ilis
figure is compact, and he moves as only
those move who are physically powerful.
He is careless i u his dress, as are most men
who have siient. much time iu the free life
of the wild; he wore his gloves unbut
toned and one end of his coat collar turned
up. He is terribly earnest iu manner; he
impresses you, moves you, by tliis earnest
ness. Generally he talks in u rather low
tone of voice, but his sentences can ring
out as he becomes excited by the subject
matter of his speech. His voice is wonder
fully sympathetic in timbre; it recalls the
description of Cardinal Newman’s voice:
“There are tears in it!” As he spoke of
the men who died at Yambuya, the Arabs
and Zanzibaris, I wish you could have
henrd the pathos, the exceeding mourning,
•f the words: “These men were my men,
my officers. They did uot belong to the
committee; they were mine. Many of
Jhem were old and tried friends whom I
had trusted only to find them true. My
frieuds died there!” His voice expressed
the sorrow as well as the rage which filled
his heart ;is he thought of that long
tragedy.
The man seems to be devoid of humor.
Jokes affect him not, nor does he approach
them in his talk. lie is grim as well as
earnest, He repels and attracts at the
same time, lie has nn air of infinite pa
tience, and in his talk you are impressed
by an evident thoroughness shown in small
things.. This explains to you his success.
Nothing is so little as to be without a
-claim on liis attention, nothing so large
that he will not study it-. But the suffer
ing he lias gone through has left its mark,
for on his face there is a look as of one who
baa drawn the veil and gazed at death faoe

One Ik* told me. I had made some
:*asiml reference to shooting and fishing 1 ,
and he said with a scowl, *‘I used to be
very fond of both, before I got this cursed
limp.” Only he elt cursed rather vig

“That is hardly pronounced enough to
interfere with your pleasure,” I ventured.
“ l’he limp is not, but the recollection of
how I got it is,” lie said. Then, after a
pause, he added, “1 may as well tell you,
for I see you want Mj hear the story.”
I nodded, and Le continued: ‘‘I was the

We were busy fixing the shore line of

during the whole season, and as my duties

“I wonder I didn’t go mad; bnt I grew
cool instead. I knew we had traveled,
roughly speaking, almost parallel with the
shore line, and that that shore line was
very irregular, being deeply indented with
bays and small inlets. It might be that
the shore was within a mile or two. If I
could reach that I could escape tbe fire and
perhaps starve there.
“I don’t know how far it was. I couldn’t
gauge the distance traveling as I did on
my hands and one knee, dragging a broken
leg after me. I know I traveled all night and

nearly all the time, for I can’t recall much
of it. In fact, I never tried very hard. But
when I came toward shore I seemed to get
some better, and when I had reached the
water’s edge (for I dared not stop in the
forest, the fire was getting so near) I saw
something that steadied me.
“An Indian wns paddling near shore
toward the north. I knew that the Sur

thing told me that it was my guide, though,
before I saw his face. The rascal had found
the shore and stolen a canoe, and was mak

sible, knowing that he could hide himself
in the wilderness long before I would be
found, if I ever should be.

About this time
Mr. Boyd went to
Wood River, near
the present town of Gibbon, Neb., and
established a stock farm, remaining there
nine years. During a portion of this period
he was also engaged in merchandising at
Kearney City, two miles west of Fort
Kearney. In 1866 he secured a grading
contract on the Union Pacific and graded
over 300 miles in about three 3ears. In
February, 1808, he returned to Omaha and
invested more heavily than any other man
in the gas works, of which lie was one of
the priueipal promoters, anil during 1SCS-69
he was manager of ihe company.
In the winter of 1869-70 he organized the
Omaha anil Northwestern railroad. He
was elected its first president and built the
road to Blair. During this period he was I
largely interested in the cattle business,
his ranch beiug located near Ogallalla. In
1872 he disposed of his cattle interests and 1
engaged in pork packing in Omaha on a
small scale. The first year his men kilied
only 4,500 hogs, but with each year his j
business increased until iu 1SS6 they killed
141,000 hogs. He continued tlie packing
business until tlie summer of 1887, when he
sold his establishment. Although no longer
connected with the pork packing business,
he is still actively engaged iu other pur
suits, and is a member of the Chicago board
of trade. Iu 1881 he erected Boyd’s opera
house in Omaha at a cost of over $110,000.
In 18S9 lie sold the property, and immedi
ately began the construction of a new thea
tre, which will cost, when completed, $175,-
000.
