st are often the most difficult thingsto deal with. The judge has set about seriouslytrying to make the impression that when we JO Abraham Lincoln (Sept. 15 meet at different places I am literally in hisclutches—that I am a poor, helpless, decrepitmouse, and that I can do nothing at all. Thisis one of the ways he has taken to create thatimpression. I dont know any other way tomeet it, except this. I dont want to quarrelwith him,—to call him a liar,—but when I comesquare up to him I dont know what else to callhim, if I must tell the truth out. I want to beat peace, and reserve all my fighting powers fornecessary occasions. My time, now, is verynearly out, and I give up the trifle that is leftto the judge to let him set my knees tremblingagain—if he can.

That he did not walk off fromthat stand he will not deny. That when thecrowd went away from the stand with me, a fewpersons carried him home on their shouldersand laid him down, he will admit. I wish tosay to you that whenever I degrade my friendsand myself by allowing them to carry me ontheir backs along through the pub
