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.

my dears, she was not a happy woiumi,
ami no wonder; for no one took any Inter

GOSSIP FROM THE HOTELS
AND THE STREET CORNERS
A brisk-moving, slert-lnokln* negro
started across the capttol (rounds
Wednesday nftornoon. 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. Orr Shoe Com
pany picked up an assortment of la
dles’ shoes that had been sown broad
cast In the middle nf the street when a
street car struck ths wagon loaded with
shoes.
The negro driver paused In collect
ing the shoes long enough to explain:
"Dat ote mule Sal got skittish and
wouldn’t git out of the way of de car.
De car kept coming end she kept stand.
In' and de cat- kept coming and she kept
sfandln’ anil de car kept coming and
she kept atumlln' till de car alde-awlped
de wagon and busted de box of shoes.”
While coupling cars on the Central
of Georgia railroad at East Point
Thursday afternoon, Frank McLeskey,
a train hand tn the employ of that road,
had hls hand mashed. He was brought
to the city and given medical atten
tion. Altho hls hand was badly lacer
ated, It was found amputation wouM
not be necessary.
Marian M. Jackson, a well-known
member of the Atlanta bar, will deliver
an address Sunday afternoon at 3:30
o'clock at the Young Men’s Christian
Association on "Citizenship In the
Kingdom." Music for the service will
be furnished by the association or
chestra. with a violin soto by George
Collins. Mr. Jackson Is an Interesting
speaker. An Invitation Is extended to
all men to be preeent.
"The Ten" will be the guest of Gov
ernor Joseph M. Terrell at hls apart
ments In the Lenox on Friday. The
paper for the evening will be by Sam
D. Jones, on "Christian Science," be
ing the tenth In the series of “Studies
In Comparative Religions.”
WHAT HE WOULD DO.
To the Editor of The Georgian;
That wise and tender editorial In
Wednesday's Georgian prompts me to
say:
“if I had a million dollars" I would
haiard a part of It In giving employ
ment lo men who are "down and out.”
I would put them to work at what they
could do and would pay them a fair
price for their time and their skill, and
give them another chance lo provide
for themselves. J. L. D. I11LLYER.

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'* taken a long-
Ish tint#"
"Ye wouldn't have me put It away

him herself for fear he’d guess she
hud been Ifstonlng to what had passed
in the hall.
'And you like It?" he asked fatu
ously. “But that's nothing at all to
what I’ll give you—" ,
"Whisht now. Would ye hav* the
others all hearln' what's atween us?"
Would those loitering idiot* never
come? she thought.
“Is your face troubling you again,
Molller he asked, seeing her look of
tt orry.
"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.
She saw him at length, and Juat oa
she caught eight of him he paused,
stood a moment and halt turned as If
about to go hack to the house, then
clenched hls fist angrily and resumed
bis walk.
He wait In a part of the drive where
thick laurel hedges ran on either aide
and ofTered her no chance of getting
away from him Into the shrubbery. 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.
