JOHN JOHNSON OP MINNESOTA. President John Johnson! How does that sound? Homely enough, doesn't It?—plain as an old shoe. In fact. Hits you honest-llke, and makes' you almost feel a quick, strong band-clasp that might go along with It. Well, stranger things have happened! Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, went to Washington the other day to attend one of those Gridiron dinners that tbe big newspaper guns give every onee In a while. They try yOu out at those dinners. If yon are trying lo be somebody In the world, they look your credentials over mighty closely and then put you over the hurdles to bring out the soft spots In your make-up. If you ‘‘stack up," ff you "stand the gaff’—this Is the way they put It In Gridiron parlance—why, you’ll do—that's all. Wall, Governor Johnson attended a gridiron dinner. He'i the man, you know, that Colonel Henry Watterson had up hls sleeve so long as a dark horse for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. That didn't make It any easier for him on the gridiron. Governor Johneon was called bn for a speech. He made It, and those who beard It Jlksj It. They not only said ao, but they showed It. The biggest men of the nation were there and they gave him the glad hand. Speeches made at Gridiron din ner* are not reported In the newspapers—that's about the only mercy shown the victims, fiut If they were particularly good or particularly bad, echoes of them get out the next day. Governor Johnson's came under the first head, and the next day hls stock began'to go up. Charles H. Grasty was one of the biggest of the newspaper guns present. .He Is publisher of The Baltimore News, one of the successful newspapers of the nation. Writing to hls paper of the gridiron dinner, and particularly of Governor Johnson and hls speech, he said: Governor Johnson attended the Gridiron dinner. He made a speech. A barnyard rooster never goes through that experience without losing hls tall feathers A mere prairie phenomenon would have been exploded. A demagogue would have been found out. Any word of buncombe would have made the gridiron alxile. A pew man has arrived, cannon saw him and Jumped across the table to greet him. Foraker wrung hls hnncl. Harry New, Republican chairman that he Is,, ran to meet the man coming from Minnesota to greater things. noosevelt-Tnfl editors, like Nelson, of Kansas City, pressed around him. And as for Demo crats—men groaning under the Bryan yoke and looking for deliv erance—they fairly went wild, Here Is a Democrat without demagogy. A leader whose head Is not in tne clouds. A sober thinker with the saving grace of humor. A right-doer whose temperature Is perfectly normal. A young man * of seasoned judgment. A man of the people who looks well In evening clothes. The possessor of thnt greatest gift of the gods, sense—which means Judgment and taste—but all the while a virile son of tho West with every red corpuscle Intact. This Is not one man's enihustnsm; It Is the unanimous verdict of a Set of mon ’rained to sire up other men and cold-blooded to tho point of cynicism. The Supreme bench of the United States Is not less subject to (motion than these singed cats of journalism. It Is something to be a Democrat who Is a two-times winner In a strong Republican state, but that does not matter so much to them. They rub elbows and sit at meat with president, cabinet ministers, ambassadors and all the rest. But John Johnson, modest, self- poised, keen-witted, clear-minded and good to look at—coming tu Washington with an crucial record behind him without a flaw at u time when every eye Is straining for Democratic timber—well, they all think he'll do. Governor Johnson hasn't quite a national name, but It Is getting that size pretty fast. Hls life's history Is short but full of action. Here Is a brief sketch by oue newspaper: John A. Johnson was born In 1SS1 In Bt. Peter Minn., where he has always lived. Hls parents were born In Sweden. At the age of 12 the care of tne family devolved on him, and the triumph of hie early life Is an Inspiration In that region. Ho entered a print ing ofllce, learned the trade, became an editor and Is one yet. with a leave of absence serving as governor: Easier & Johnson publish The Bt. Peter Herald, a weekly In a town about the size of Griffin. Governor Johnson has served seven years In the Na tional Guard, and attained tho rank of captain. In 1104 he wae elected governor by over 6.000 plurality, while the Republican plu- 'SsS -- as- -|H. in 1*06 Ito was re-elected by a rnllty for president wee 161,000. plurality of over 76,000. This In a state In which ordinarily the Re publican majorities run from 30,000 to 100,000. Jfe Is a Presbyte rian, knows nothing of sectionalism, and Is not filled with ambi tion to reform tbs universe. Tho n Yon Yonson. he Is a thorough American, and wiuld be more apt to carry two or three North western states, Minnesota and Wisconsin especially, then any other Democrat who could be named. — " VIRTUE OF FORGETTING. The men who are making the best success In life today are thp men who are keeping their “forgeterles” In good running order. Disagreeable things remembered clog the machinery of life and pre vent progress. Men who remember Indignities and Insults Invariably become brood ers over tbelr wrongs. Their minds are hatcheries of discontent and peevishness, with which none can hope to rise to great heights. Balloonists tell us that the higher they rise above the earth the stronger the optic nerve seems to become, and they are better able to discover tbe proper relationships of things below. The higher a man rises In hls ability to forget disagreeable things tho more clearly will he see that life has more sweets than bitter wrapt up within It. The ability to forget Is no less great than tho ability (o remember. Doubtless It It true that none forget "forever and for aye,” but It certain ly Is true that the remembrance of the bitter Is softened and sweetened by heroic sonls who are determined to live Id today and tomorrow rather than In the past. If men ceu train their memories so that noble verse or splendid, music 16 perpetually in tbelr minds outside the hours of tbelr business, U Is also true that they send to the limbo of the unregarded the disagreeable experiences that they are apt to pluck with the choice fruit from the tree of life. Sterling witnesses to the truth that men can forget their grievances are the books that have been written In jails by noble martyra for what they believed to be the truth. Forgetttug how the Athenians had mistreated him, Socrgtes, In the dingy dungeon of Athens, perfects hls time-defying Doctrine of Immor tality. Resolving not to brood over the Injustice with which he haq been treated Galileo, In prison confined, makes hls prison cell a schoolroom, an astronomer's chart room, and sends forth hie theories that stand tho test of tho longest and latest research of modern astronomy. ** Forgetting the Indignities he had received at the hands of the English crown, Bunyan gives to the world hls Immortal allegory, which has been, translated Into all known tongues and dialects, and has a circulation sec ond only to the English Ulble. Forgetting hls blindness and hla poverty, Milton give* its "Paradise* Lost" Determined that hls life shall not be embittered by harsh treatment received at the hands of hls enemies, Cervantes gives play to hls delicate wit and shafts of humor, and roams with Don Quixote and Sancho Panxa the world around. Epictetus, as a slave-boy. was maimed for life by.the cruelty of the master to whom he bad been sold. Asked If be could be happy with a lame leg, he replied: "Do you think that because my soul happens to have one lame leg that I am to find fault with God's universe?” Is It any wonder, with a spirit tike that, he should rise above sordid, morbid, memories and come to be ono of tho world's Greathearts? In summing qp the story of that noble life. Browning, the tract, say,: -"This Is hls epi taph: Eplctatus, a slave maimed tn bis body, a I logger through poverty and dear tb the Immortals." Suppose some oue has slandered yo'j."forget tt. You are too big a soul to feed your thought oa rehashed slander. Suppose you have been treated with Injustlre'by niggardly men, who are unable to see great vistas In life, forget-lt. .Man's Inhumanity to man Is proverbial. The years will reveal tbe true character of your work. Suppose scheming politicians have succeeded for the time In under mining your work, forget It. If you have belli on foundations of troth and honestly performed your work, It will stand eternal. Ah. frlendB! Life la too short to cherish tho mean things. Too short to brood over unkind words. Too big with opportunity for splendid achievements to grieve over the wrongs and Injustices which seem to be your portion. In the garden of your life plant rosemary trees, whose perfume and flower will sweeten not alone your own remembrances, but be sent forth by tbe wind* of truth to brighten and beautify other Urea.

He met two .others. 'Say, Is either of you boys got change for a ISO bill?" he asked. Both denied It politely, but firmly. "What?” wa* the astonished reply. "Ain’t you niggers got any money, at all?" • • “Ise got *12," said one. "I got 62,” eatd the other. "Well, look heah,” said the alert ne gro. “You fellers gimme, dat money, an’ I’ll run right In here to my boss’ ofllce—you knows Mr. Griffin, don't you?—an' git change fer dls |60, an' come right back and pay you back." He took the money, walked Into the Washlngton-at. entrance to the Capitol, and right out of the Hunter-st. side. After standing around a half hour, hls victims became uneasy, and Anally went Into the building to make In quiries. But "Mr. Griffin's” man and their )14 were missing for fair. Traffic in Broad-st. was blocked for |en minutes Friday morning while a negro driver of the J. K.

As she came to the gallery which ran round the well of the broad stair case, ehe heard hls voice rateed in au ger. "I believe you've lied to me. Mb. Mer- rldew. You know she Is not dead, and you are hiding her somewhere for your Infernal purposes." "I have made every allowance for your natural exasperation, Mr. Fen wick; and It wae because I knew that It afTected you so closely that I told you candidly all I knew. But there are limits to my endurance. You had bet ter leave the house." "I do not believe the story you have told me." "I can only give you my word. You asked me for Information about Miss Parmenter, and I have given It to you. I assure you that both my mother ahd I arc as anxious as you can be to And out whether she Is still alive." “Then give me the name of the place where you say you saw her last." "If I thought It would be of the least assistance to you, nnd If I did not know that my agents had made every possi ble Inquiry Into the matter, I would do so with the greatest pleasure. But absolutely nothing more can be done.” At this the last vestige of Jack’s tem per took flight. "1 will And out the truth In spite of you and will expose you for the scoun drel you are," he cried. Do what you please, sir; but you had better first clear .your own name. Here, you fellows there, put this man out, and then send Dawlelgh to me,” and Merrldew turned on hls heel and went back Into the'room. Jack left the house then, and Olive ran down by. the servants' staircase to get out to follow him. At the bottom Dawlelgh was waiting, to her infinite exasperation. She had no time now for fooling, or Jack would get away before she could catch him. Have you put It safely away?" he asked with a grin.

"It's Just mad It's drlvln' me.” Then the man came In search of Dawlelgh, and sho was free. In another Hecnnd she was out of the Louse, scudding at full speed down the drlvo and cnatlttg anxious eye* ahead tor her lover.

So she Blackened speed, keeping well In the shadow of the bushes, and then heard footsteps tn the distance behind her tnmlng rapidly from the house. She darted up behind Jack, just as he reached a path which would, serve her purpose, and without a word caught hls arm and thrust Into hls hand the little note she had written. But she had reckoned without hls anger. Ready to suspect anything at such & moment and In such a place, the Instant the note was In hls Itand he grabbed hold of her dress and detained wr. The footstep* behind were drawing rapidly nearer. "You ore followed," ehe eald excited, ly, In a low tone, forgetting all about her brogue. "Hullo. The Irish girl without her Irish," said Jock In the same low tone, "No, you don't go in that way, please." and hls grasp tightened. "Come down here and let them pass, whoever It Is. Quick. I must not be seen." She let him lead her Into hiding ami together they ftood, hls hand etfll hold ing her tight, and waited until the steps came closo and a man’s figure showed Indistinctly through the gloom at the end of the little side path down which they were hidden. Olive recognised Dawlelgh. CHAPTER XLIV. Love 'Bests Resolve. Dawlelgh paused at the mouth of tbe path, and Olive thought that he had been following her nnd had seen her tum Into It. He did come two or three yards along It; but paused again, re traced hla steps, and set off running In tho direction of the lodge gates. In those few seconds of suspense Olive knew that all her carefully laid S tans were threatened with collapse. he had been very brave and resolute throughout, and wonderfully resource ful and self-reliant; her Indomitable courage had risen to meet emergency after emergency: and she had gloried In the fact that she had won through all by her own strength and independ ence. But her love for Jack was a great part of her nature; a deep, strong and living force In her: nnd now the was thrilling ami trembling with emotional delight In the mere fact of being once again In hls presence and feeling the touch of hls strong, nervous hand on her arm. On tits side he was completely pus- sled. Ke had retained hla hold of her because of hls firm resolve to get to the bottom of the strange conduct of tbts gtrt whose sudden lapse from her Irish brogue had betrayed the fact that she was not what she had ap peared. What the paper was which she had thrust so mysteriously into hls hand he knpw no more than why she had so acted, and when Dawlelgh appeared nt the end of the path and the girl was obviously frightened, he Jumped to the rough and ready conclusion that she was flying from hint and needed help. "Now. wliat does It alt mean?" he asked as soon as the sound of the man’s footsteps had ceased. That Jack should not have recognized her while she was standing there with her heart beating so wildly, paeslnn- ataly eager to throw her arms round hls neck and every love Instinct rhm- pant within her, at first astounded and then amused her. She answered In her richest brogus, "Shure, your honor Is"— "That’ll do with the brogue," he In terrupted. Then to hls Intense surprise she gave a little cry as she threw her arms around hhn, pressed her face close to hls and kissed hint. For the moment she could not say a word, and then, half-laughing and half In tears, she exclaimed: *‘Oh, Jack., you dear great stupid, do you mean you don't know me?" "Olive! My darling!” For a time which waa Just sheer ec stasy to them both, no more was said." No words were needed. He held her strained close to hls heart and show ered kisses upon her lips and eheeks and brow and eyes—any spot that was large enough to .take a kiss; and she clung to him trembling In silent rap ture, her face upturned ns tears of delight welled slowly from her eyes and great passionate Bob* of emotion con vulsed her. "— At length with a Smile she drew away. "Arrah, be alsy now, wld ye, or ye'll have me wig oft wld yhr clum sy ways. Sure It's Mollle O'Brien you'd bo afther tratln' in this way. Isn't It ashamed of yesilf, .ye are, klesln* strange i girls lolke this, whin all the toime your own colleen has been brak in' her henrt for a sight o’ your dear face an' the feel of it, too,” and again »ho kissed him, and laid her head on hls breast with a happy sigh. "Now, we must be sensible,” she said next. “Oh, Jack, tvhat do you mean by coming here and making me ao weak aa allfhla?" ' " * .T "My head Is still In ths clouds," h<? laughed, "fra Just mazed. Why, they told me you were dead, Olive.” "I know. I heard thorn. They think It, too. But come farther away from the drive, or some one may hear us," and clinging close to hls aids as they walked, she led hint to a spot where they could talk freely. “Now. my dearest. I can't stay more than a few minutes and you must Just let me tell you all I can cram Into the Ume without Interrupting to ask any questions or scold or anything. First, you are cleaiyd about that robbery of the papers. Merrldew was hilled up In It, and he brought them here: I found them, and Mr. Casement has them. But for a time you muat not do anything. Those arrests In London—that of the girl you recognised among the others— were my doing; 1 can't stop to tell you how I found out everything, but Mr. Casement will tell yon now,” and In the same brief manner she told him of Merrldew's conduct; that he believed he had murdered her, and that after het escape she had come to Sllverbeech ostensibly as a servant, but really as a spy. He listened, breathless with Intereat, astonishment and rage, and at first was for going straight back to the -Manor to have It out with Merrldew. But Olive declared that this woud rain everything and in the end calmed him,' and succeeded In winning him round to promise that he would do nothing to Interfere with her plans. He was hard to convince, hut her quiet. Arm In sistence prevailed In the end. No one hod a susptcon that she was other than Just Mollle, the Irish girl, she told him, and the fact that even he hlmrelf had been mistaken was'the proof that she waa In no danger. Be sides. both he and Mr. Casement r.ow knew where she was, and even It she were discovered by -Merrldew they would be ablo to come to her help. This was the argument which won him round, nnd when they parted he had promised her faithfully that no act of hls should betray the fact that he knew her to be even alive. "But why couldn't you have told me that?" he asked. “It has been a terrible time." "Because I couldn't warn you against Mrs. Taunton, Jack. She would hare guessed your secret In a moment, even If you had not told her.” "By Jove, 1 never thought of that. Of course, I've seen her often and ' have spoken freely of It all." "Don’t see her again. She'll notice the difference Instantly. You had bet ter not go back to London.” What a devil of a woman! I won’t go near her again,” he said, quickly. "Yes. but you must have an excuse or she'll sunpect. Talk it all over with Mr. Casement." "He'a deep. too. Never let on a word about you. Even told me there were a couple of letters for you and asked what I thought he had better do with them.” "They must be from Selma Ham mond, Jack. Tell him to open them, and If they are, to get the girl some where within reach. Sha may be neces sary. And now, dearest, I muat go or I shall be missed.”- It took some minutes 1 before Jack could tear himself away, and then Olive returned to the house, hoping to get In unseen. But Dawlelgh’s jealousy had been aroused. He had caught a glimpse hi Olive In the drive, and Just as slit slipped into a aide door ha met het and wanted to know where she had bean, blfltlng that she had been meet ing some other man.
