a te a d *
In the early rum m er of 1881 Sam-
eon T ra y lo r and hie w ife, Sarah, aad
two children le ft th e ir old home n o ir
the village o f Vergennes, Vermont,
mid began th e ir travels toward the
retting sun with four chairs, a bread
lioard and rolllng-ptn, a feather bed
and blanket«, a small looking-glass, a
skillet, an ax, a pack basket wttb a
pad of sole leather on the same, a
w ater pall, a box o f dishes, a tub of
salt pork, a rifle, a teapot, a sack of
meal, sundry small provisions and a
violin, in a double wagon drawn by
oxen.
I t is a pleasure to note that
ihey had a violin and were not dla-
posed to p art w ith It. T he reader must
not overlook its fu ll historic slgnlfl-
cance.
T he stern, uncompromising
spirit of the P u ritan had le ft the
house o f the Yankee before a violin
could enter It.
Hum or and the love
of play had preceded and cleared a
way for It.
W here there was a fiddle
there were cheerful hearts.
A young
black shepherd dog w ith ts w ry points
and (he name of Sambo followed the
wagon.
If we had been at the Congrega­
tional church on Sunday we might
have heard Che m inister saying to
Samson, a fte r the aervtce, that it was
hard to understand why the happiest
fam ily In the pariah and the most or
loved should be leaving Its ancestral
home to go to a far, new country of
which little was known. Wa might also
have heard Samson answ er:
“I t s aw ful easy to be h^ppy here.
We slide along In the same old groove,
that our fathers traveled, from Ver-
genneg to Paradise.
W e work and
play and go to lueetin' and put a shin
piaster in the box and grow old and
narrow and stingy and mean and go
up to glory and are turned Into saints
mid angels.
Maybe that's the best
thing th a t could happen to u * but
Sarah and I kind o' thought we'd try
a new starring place and another route
to heaven."
Sarah and Sampson had been raised
on adjoining farm s Just out of the
village. He had had little schooling
b it his inlnd wss active and well in­
clined.
8a rah had prosperous rela­
tives in Roetoo and had bad the ad­
vantage of a year's schooling In that
city.
She was a comely girl o f a
taste and refinem ent unusual In the
place and tim e o f hei birth.
Many
well favored youths had sought her
hand, hut, better than o th e r* she
liked the big, m asterful, good-natured,
humorous Samson, crude as he was.
N aturally In her liandg his tim ber had
undergone aome planing and smooth
ing and his thought« had been gently
led Into new- and pleasant ways.
Let ns rake a look at them a t they
slowly leave the village of their b irth
The wagon Is covered w ith tent d oth
drawn over hickory archea. They are
sitting on s seat overlooking the oxen
in the wagon front. Tears are stream ­

resting on his knee«; the hickory
handle of his ox w hip lies serosa his
lap. the lash at his fe e t He seems to
be looking down at bis boots, into the
tops of w hirl, his trousers have been
folded
He is a rugged, blond, bearded
man w ith kind ly blue eyes and a
rather prominent nose.
There Is a
striking expression o f power In the
head and shoulders of Samson T ra y lo r
The breadth of his back, the slxe of
his wrists and hands, the color of
his face be’ oken a man of great
strength. This thoughtful, sorrowful
attitude Is the only evidence of emo­
tion which he b e tra y *

minutes he begins to whistle a lively
tune.

had gone fa r oot of their way for a
