Aa the lit drawa near the joke* are moitly dry, saya Editor Pleasant Sto vall of the 'ateamed Savannah Presa. It la a auro thing that the judge who advlaed a young man to throw his mother-in-law out could not have been married. A good-natured woman always makes a bachelor feel that her sex has been greatly maligned by the mar ried men.—Washington Post. After reading Mr. Cortelyou's state ment we are convinced that he has been near enough to the presidential bee hive to hear the buxzlng. In devising an elastic currency, says the Indianapolis Star, congress should avoid that kind of elastic that lets go and bits you between the eyea. At a banquet on her recent visit to England tbe empress of Germany wore (1.250,000 worth of jewels.— News Item. Of course, ahe wore It dress, tod. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch opines that "no blue law was ever writ in Indelible Ink.” Some estimable persons In little old New York are beginning to think the very opposite. Is It realty true that the baggy pa jamas have been removed from the legs of the eagle on the new gold coins and a tight fitting union suit substi tuted? We'll wait ahd see. JOHN JOHNSON OF MINNESOTA. President John Johnson! How does that sound? N Homely enough, doesn't It?—plain as an old shoe. In fact Hits yon honest-llke, and makes you almost feel a quick, strong hand-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 the big newspaper guns give every once In a while. They try you out at those dinners. If yon are trying to be somebody In the world, they look your credentials over mighty closely and then put you over the hurdles to bring ont the soft spots In your make-up. If you "stack up.” If you "stand tbe gaff”—this Is the way they put It In Gridiron parlance—why, you'll do—that's all. , Well, Governor Johnaon attended a gridiron dinner. He's the man, you know, that Colonel Henry Watterson hatl up his 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 Johnson was called on for a speech. He made It. and those who heard It liked It. They not only said so. but they showed It. The biggest men of the nation were there and they gave him the glad hand. Speeches made at Gridiron din ners are not reported In the newspapers—that's about tbe only mercy shown the victims. But 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 hit xtock 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 his paper of the gridiron dinner, and p|rtfculariy of Governor Johnson and his speech, he said: Governor Johnaon attended the Gridiron dinner. He made a speech. A barnyard rooster never goes through that experience' without losing his toll 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 slzxle. A new man has arrived. Cannon suw him and jumped across the. table to erect him. Foraker wrung hla hand. 'Harry New, Republican chairman that He In. ran to meet the man coming from Minnesota to greater things. Roosevelt-Tafl 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. Hero la a Democrat without demagogy. A leader whose head la not In tho clouds. A sober thlnicer with the saving grace of huntor. A i Ight-doer whose temperature Is perfectly normal. A young man of sensoned judgment. A man of the people who looks well In evening clothes. The posaecraf of that greatest gift of the gods, sense—which means Judgment and taste—but all the while a virile son of the West with every red corpuscl; Intact, This Is not one man's enthusiasm: It Is the unanimous verdict of a set of mon 'rained to slxe up other men and cold-blooded to tho point of cynicism. The Supreme bench of the United States Is not less subject to emotion thin these singed cats of Journalism. IL Is something to be a Democrat who Is a two-times whiner In a strong Republican state, hut that does not matter so much to them. They rub elbows and sit at meat with president, cabinet ministers, ambassadors and all tlie rest. But John Johnson, modest, self- poised, keen-witted, clear-minded and good to look at—coming to Washington with an official record behind him without a flaw at n rime when every eys Is straining for Democratic timber—well, they all think he’ll do. Governor Johnaon hasn't quite a national nnme, bnt It Is getting that else pretty fast Ills life’s history Is short but full of action. Here Is a brief sketch by one newspaper: John A. Johnson wss born Ht 1881 In St. Peter, Minn., where he has alwuys lived. Hie parents were bom In Sweden. At the age Ilf 12 the care of the family devolved on him. and tho triumph of Ills early life Is an Inspiration in that region. He entered a print ing office, learned the trade, became an editor and is one yet. with a leave of absence serving as governor. Keeler & Johnaon publish The St. Peter Herald, n weekly In h town about ths slxe of Griffin. Oovernor Johnson hat served seven years In the Na tional Guard, and attained tho rank of captain. In 1804 he was elected governor by over 6.000 plurality, while the Republican plu rality for president was 161,000. 'In 1906 he was re-elected by a plurality of over 76,000. Title In a state In which ordinarily the Re publican majorities run from 20.000 to 100,000. He la a Presbyte rian, knows nothing of sectionalism, and Is not filled with ambi tion to reform the universe. Tho n Yon Yonson, he Is a thorough American, and would bo more apt to carry two or three North western states, Minnesota and Wisconsin especially, than any other Democrat who could be named. Wireless messages from the fleet, which Is now oft the Florida coast, In dicate that everybody aboard Is per fectly happy, and tbnt Admiral "Bob" Is still able to cuss. Toklo papers please note. The Pensacola (Fla.), merchants evidently believe that advertising pays. The Evening News of that city is out with a Christmas edition of 72 pages, 412 columns. Just chuck full of well-displayed ads. We wish to deny, on good authority, that Sftnta Claus Is going to cut out Chicago thlx year. Some heart less scribe started the rumor, declar ing that the Windy City girl had the advantage over all other cities.' We trust that the Marquis of Queensberry rules will not be tbe fssblon In congress tbla session; but tbe little episode of Thursday leads one to Imagine that several gentle men at least are for the rough and tumble plan. In Atlanta tbe Republicans have throe factions—Formker, Taft and Cortelyotr—and they are making It hot for each other.—Jacksonville Metropolis. Yes, but Sants Claus has the call on all of ’em Just at present. * The cotton world will hear with re gret that Colonel Henry G. Hester, superintendent of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, was run down and badly bruised by an automobile In that city on Thursday night, and while his injurlee are not believed to be dangerous, his friends In all coun tries that handle cottoh will feel anx ious and wish him a speedy recovery. Colonel Hester’s connection with the Now Orleans Cotton Exchange for many years as superintendent, secre tary and expert statistician on the tnorement and distribution of cotton, has given him s world-aide reputa tion as it reliable authority on this sub ject. b -•-M i VIRTUE OF FORGETTING. The men who are making the beat success In life today are tbe men who are keeping their "forgetcrles" 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 their wrongs. Their minds are hatcheries of discontent nnd peevishness, with which none oan hope to rise to great heights. Balloonists tell ns that the higher they rise abovo tbe earth the stronger tho optic aerve seems to become, and they are better able to discover the proper relationships of things below. Tbe higher a man rlnet' In his ability to forget disagreeable things the more clearly will ho sco that life hns more sweets than bitter wrapt up within It. The ability to forget Is no less great than the ability to remember. Doubtless It Is true that nuns forget "forever and for aye," but It certain ly Is true that the remembrance of the bitter Is softened and sweetened by heroic souls, who are determined to live In today and tomorrow ratbpr than In the past. If men can train their memories so that noble verse or splendid music Is perpetually In their minds outside the hours of their business, It Is also true that thsy send to the llrabo 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 thnt have been written In Jails by noble martyrs for what they believed to be the truth. Forgetting how tbe AthenlAns < had mistreated him, Socrates, In the dingy dungeon of Athens, perfects his time-defying Doctrine of Immor tality. Resolving not to brood over tbe Injustice with which he has been treated Galileo, In prison confined, makes his prison cell a schoolroom, an astronomer's chart room, and sends forth hla theories that stand the test of the longest and latest research of modern astronomy. Forgetting the Indignities he had received at the bands of the English crown, Bunynti gives to the world his Immortal allegory, which has been translated Into all known tongues and dialects, nnd has a circulation sec ond only to the English Bible. Forgetting his blindness and his poverty, Milton gives us “Paradise IjOSt." Determined that hla life shall not be embittered by harsh treatment received at the hands of his enemies. Cervantes gives play to his delicate wit and shafts of humor, and roams with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza the world around. Epictetus, as a slave boy, was maimed for life by the cruelty of the master to whom he had 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 And fault with Owl's universe?" Is It any wonder, with a spirit like that, he should rise above sordid, morbid, memories and come to be one of the world's Greathearts? In summing up the story of that noble life, Browning, the poet, says: "This Is his epi taph: Epictetus, a slave maimed In bis body, a beggar through poverty and dear to the Immortals.” Suppose some one has slandered you, forget It. You are too big a soul tm feed your thought on rehashed slander. Suppose you have been treated with Injustice by niggardly men, who are unable to see great vistas In life, forget-tf. Man's Inhumanity to man Is proverbial. The years will reveal the true character of your work. Suppose scheming politicians have succeeded for the time In under mining your work, forget It. If you have built on foundations of truth and honestly performed your work, it will stand eternal. Ah, rtiends! Lite It too short to cherish the 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 rdsemary trees, whose perfume and flower will sweeten not alone your own remembrances, but be sent forth by tb* wild* "f T:"- !*» e-d b-sn'lfy other lives.

You know she Is not dead, and you are hiding her somewhere for your Infernal purpaaes." "I have made every allowance for your natural exasperation. Mr. Fen wick: and It was because I knew that it affected you so closely that I told you candidly nil I knew. But there are limits to my endurance. You had bet ter leave the houie." •T do not believe the atory you have told me.* •T can only give you my word. You asked me for Information about AIlss Parmenter. and I have given It to you. I assure you that both my mother and I are 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, and If I did not know that my agents had made every possi ble inquiry Into the matter, 1 would do to with the greatest pleasure. But absolutely nothing more can be done." At this the last vestige of Jack's tem. per took flight. "I will find out the truth In spite of you and will eifpose you for the scoun drel you are," he cried. "Do what you please, air; 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 his heel and went back Into the room. Jack left the house then, and Olive ran down by the servants’ stairflase to get out to follow hint. At the bottom Datvlelgh was waiting, to her Infinite exasperation. She hatl 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 taken a long- Ish time" Ye wouldn't have me put It away tvldout trying how It looked, would ye’l" she asked, smiling, and wishing with all her heart that the other serv ants would come to tell him that Mer rldew wanted him. She dared not tell him herself for fear he'd guess she hud been listening to what had passed In the hall. And you like It?” he nxked fatu ously. "But that’s nothing at all to what I'll give you—” "Whisht now. Would ye have the others all hearin' what's atwean us?" Would those loitering idiots never come? ahe thought. "Is your face troubling you again. Moilier* he asked, seeing her look of w ofry. "It's Just mad It's drlvln' me." Then the man came In search of Dawlelgh, and «tjp. was free. In another second ahe waa out of the house, scudding at full speed down the drive nnd casting anxious eyes ahead lor her lover. She saw him at length, and Just as Shttre. your honor la"- "That'll do with tho brogue," ha In terrupted. Then to hla Intense surprise ahe gave a little cry ns ahe threw her arms around him, pressed her face close to his and kissed him. * For the moment she could not say a word, and then, half-taughlnc and half In tears, she exclaimed I "Oh.

Why, they told me you were dead, Olive." "I know. I heard them. Thay think It. too. But come farther away from the drive, or some one may hear us," and clinging close to his aide as they "'"Iked, she led him to a spot where they could talk freely.
