"LITTLE JAMES"
THERE were three James Brewster Stimsons. The third
James had a great denl to live up to. Not only was he
the grandson of New Concord's only ex-governor and
most eminent citizen but, as Judge Holcomb so frequently
pointed out, the son of the one entirely satisfactory husband
Kansas had ever produced. The Judge usually added, "or
any other state.
Everyone in New Concord sus
pected, and all the women knew
positively, that this paragon, Dr.
Jim Slimson, the second James, had
refused to be vaccinated during the
smallpox epidemic In 1883 because
ha could not bear to go on living
after the death of his wife, Molly.
Molly died In giving birth to the
third Jumea.
Dr. Jim at the time was not yet
thirty, handsome, talented, an only
sou and heir to a forlune. Appar
eutly nothing counted but Molly. He
died murmuring her namo and was
canonized ovornlght. His Utile son
was then six months old.
Tho women were entirely respon
sible for Dr. Jim's posthumous
ealntship. The men had liked Jim
well enough living. They grew fear
fully tired of him dead. Judge Hoi
comb, a bachelor, claimed that
whenovor a New Concord husband
caught his wlfo looking at him with
a peculiar gleam in her eye he knew
that he was being compared to Dr.
Jim and that the comparison was
hideously unsatisfactory.
The women sniffed at these Jokes
or me iwigo. uke a certain royal
contemporary they wore not annsed
and made no bones about allowing
it. moy actually seemed to feel a
vicarious prldo In Dr. Jlm'a almost
deliberate death and never aeemcd
to tire of discussing It.
Beyond irritating their husband
this would have been harmless
enough. If the Interest In the father
had not inspired them to an Interest
In his son. It was the third Jamos
Stimaon's grent misfortune that the
women of New Concord, nartlcular
ly the Intimates of his Aunt Sarah,
maintained for moro than twenty
years an actively and possessively
maternal concern In his develop
ment, nis career, and most of all, tn
his mnrrlnge.
i-rannmy no utile orphan was
ever more tenderly loved and cher
ished. The night of his father's fu
neral Sarab, hla grandmother, said
to her husband, "The tenderness of
God has left ns little James."
The Governor made no answer.
In bis heart was the bitter cry that
a god capable of tenderness would
have taken him and spared his son.
Later, when Time had softened thst
bitterness, he remembered and was
comforted.
"The tenderness of God," he would
whisper, watching the child asleep
In his cradle or playing by his side.
Sometimes as the boy grew oldor
he seemed both son and grandson.
He was called James to distinguish
him from his father. But more often
thnn not the Governor thought of
him as Jim.
'T'HB Governor was a born roman
1 tic. James was to carry on the
name, continue the family tradition

would have been unbearable to both
old James and old Sarah it they had
not little James.
"The Governor was born In Massa
chusetts. In the early fifties, while
he was still studying law at Har
vard, he had been fired with an am
bition "to go West and grow up
with the country.' However, young
Stimson had neither the ambition
nor the desire to go West and grow
np with the country alone, so he
married pretty Sarah Stockwell
nlmost before the ink was dry on
his sheepskin.
Their honeymoon was their Jour
ney Westward. They had no dellnlto
Intention when they set out of sot
tUng In Kansas. They planned
vaguely to take a look at Snlnt Jo
seph, Missouri, or possibly go on to
a place In the wilds of Westorn Kan
sas known as Denver.
It was by merest chance that
their paddle-wheeled river steamer,
on Its way to Saint Joseph from
Saint Louis developed engine trou
ble and tied up for three days at
the wharf of a struggling trading
post on the left bank of the Mis
souri rtlver. Tho young homoseok
ers relieved the tedium of the three
days' stay hy climbing the heavily
wooded hanks on the Kai.sas side
and exploring the fertile wooded
country boyond.
Thrushes and meadow larks sang
their clear yearning love songs hour
after hour. The young Stimsons
stopped to listen hand in hand at
the top of a high bluff overlooking
the Missouri, Just where the river
began a magnificent mile-wide bend
"We'll stay and build a home on
this very spot," they decided. They
stayed, but It was many years he'
fore thoy had their heart's desire
and hullded the mansion of their
dreams on tho river bluff.
They wero at first happy years,
even gay years. New Concord fulled,
alas, to become the metropolis of
James dreams and developed In'
stead Into a pleasant little residen
tial city of sixteen thousand souls.
James soon extended his interests
boyond local affairs.
He was one of those instrumental
In making Kansns Into a free state.
Later he fought to keep It free and
lost an arm at the second Battle of
Dull Run. Somo years after the olose
of the War he was elected gover
nor and might have gone to the
United States Senate. But his health
had never been good after the loss
of his arm. He returned to New Con
cord and bis law practice.
The two James Stimsons used to
ride together almost every fine aft
ernoon, the Governor astride Dan,
bis Kentucky pacer, and James III
on Bird, his pony, named after Miss
Bird Strong, one of bis neighbors
and closest friends.
The start of their dally ride was
an event In the rather dU routine
of tha Stimson household. Mrs.
Stimson used to claim proudly as
the two rode off bowing and wav
ing, that they were the two hand
somest men in the entire state of
Kansas which meant, of course, In
hero fund commission. He will use
the money as prt payment on a
ranch ha now la renting.
On .October 8, 1033, Robert I.
Lanrtdownt, 39, was working on ft
ladder In a well. He was overcome by
carbon monoxide gas and fell Into
tha trater. KJlnskl descended In a
bucket lowered by a windlass.' He
tied a rope around Lanadowne and
both were drawn to the surface. Both
were 111 for several days from ef-
fert of the bis. KUnskt married

the whole world and as far as hei
husband was concerned Mrs. Stim
son was not far wrong.
ALL the countryside knew ana
was Interested In the two James
and their rides often partook ol
something of the nature of a M
umphal progress. The Governor, ai
owner of several fine farms, wni
keenly interested In the crops and
the weather and all that pertains
thereto so that he and his farmer
friends had a great deal to discuss,
It was small wonder then that
little James preferred tho Rivet
Road where It was lonelier and
there were fewer long talks about
manure, the condition of the wheat
and other uninteresting things not
designed for the entertainment of
small boys. Jnmes was a born chat
terbox, hut his grandfather was very
strict about not letting him Inter
rupt when his elders were talking.
James liked It better when his
grandfather took blm fishing.
Dressed In their oldest clothes they
would scramble down the river bank
Just below the Mansion and fish In
a slough a mile or two further ou
near the Leavenworth Road. It
would be Impossible to explain just
why James always caught a little
fish and his grandfather a big one,
but this seemed natural and fitting;
to both.
The Governor had become mora
and more silent as he grew older,
but on these Ashing trips he often
talked to his grandson tor hours at
a time. "Did It hurt an awful lot
when they cut your arm offf" James
would ask anxiously as If for tha
first time. The Governor would re
ply that It had hurt pretty badly,
though he spared the child the
hideous details of an amputation
without anaesthetics. -
Perhaps the story James liked
best waa the one nbout tbe swarma
of grasshoppers which in 1SGS set
tled over Kansas like a plngue oC
Egypt and literally ate up every
spear of grass and blade or leaf of
green.
The account of the grasshoppers
appearing as his grandfather said,
"like a cloud between us and tha
sun," covering the streets and side
walks of New Concord to the depth
of a foot and being shoveled by the
citizens Into enormous hogsheads
and dumped Into the river by the
ton, was to James a tale so delight
fully awful that he fairly shivered
with Joy every time he heard It.
He could not look with equnnlmlty
upon even a lone grasshopper until
he was quite a big boy, .
Almost, but not quite as thrilling,
were the stories of the dark days
after the Civil War when settlers
came flocking In expecting to find
new Utopia only to face years of
heart-breaking drought. But as
these tales made Junes sad tht
Governor cheered him up by telllni
of the discovery of alfalfa and dr
farming In tha Western portions ol
the state, emphasizing the stupen
doits strides forward Kansas had
made In consequence.
So like a bard of old the Srsl
James Brewster Stimson sang till'
sagas of long ago to an enthralled
and enraptured audience of one.
And deep In the heart of hla small
grandson was planted a love for hli
state a reverent admiration for hli
grandfather and an unconscious de
sire to make both proud of him,
This was to Influence his entire Ufa
