MAN THE NATiON REQUIRES.
John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant of
the Presidential Chair.
As president Governor Johnson would
have the qualities that might be de¬
scribed as logically and historically
needful at this time, representing both
in thought and by concrete' aehieve
rnent all of the progressive reforms to
which the American people are now
thoroughly committed, Ills personality
and his methods are such that, coming
into oflice after the strenuous and even
terniymg ... . political and financial ex pc
rlences , of , recent he , would , , . be
rears,
prepared , to hold , ....... all that has been , gain
ed, restore an 6ra of good foaling ami
smoothly and comfortably prepare the
way for such additional advanced legis
lotion as the times require. In a word.
r, Governor Johnson , , is precisely the kind ,
of „ , leader the nation requires . at this ...
1
tlme. ready for new legislation to
new needs, but careful and
tire in his methods. The same
donee inspiring, vote getting attributes
that have made Governor Johnson so
popular in Minnesota that there is ab¬
solutely no question that lie could car¬
ry the state as the Democratic presi
dential nominee will make him equally
popular with the voters of the nation
once they have an opportunity to be
come acquainted with the man.
Every political campaign has its in
flividunl conditions. It is found in ihis
conb*st that Governor Johnson pos
sess a strength peculiar to him alone
and by which he is certain to bring to
the Democratic party upward of a mil¬
lion votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi¬
tion insures beyond a reasonable doubt
victory for Democracy and Governor
Johnson in the following states: Min¬
* nesota, North and South Dakota, Illi¬
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne¬
braska, Colorado, Montana, Washing¬
ton ami Michigan.

Famous Anagrams.
Of all the extravagances caused by
the anagrammatic fever when many
years ago it was at its height, none
comes up to that of a Frenchman

in his name the anagram Pendu a

the province of Auvergne), felt hound
to fulfill his destiny, committed a crime

Trapping an Elephant.
<* Elephants are easily trapped,” said
a zoo keeper, “very easily trapped and
very easily tamed. The trapper, chooses
a spot popular with elephants and digs
a hole live feet deep and twenty’ feet
square. He surrounds this hole -.vKh a
higli board fence except iu one place,
where ho hangs a swing gate. Next he
finds a herd of elephants, chooses the
animal he wants, maddens it and
makes it chase him. The man tears
along on his nag, the elephant thun¬
ders close after, and just at the gate¬
way the man swerves to the right, but
the elephant, too heavy to swerve,
bangs right on through into the hole.
He’s mad at first, terribly mad. But
they give him no food or drink, they
build around the pit fires of damp
wood that almost suffocate him with
smoke, and they daze and stupefy him
with shouts and banging of brass pans,
The elephant is completely broken and
subdued In three or four days. lie
comes forth and follows the trapper
humbly and timidly, with tears in his
eyes.”
A Boy and a Thousand Dollars,
A New York judge gave his son
$1,000, felling him to go to college and
graduate. The son returned at the end
of freshman year without a dollar and
with several ugly* habits. At the close
of the vacation the judge told his son
that he had done all he could for him.
If he had wasted the money that was

“W* ^ well leave home and make his
