[chosen senator from maine"
rally be the center of interest when he
'reaches Washington to supplant Senator Eugene Hale. He has had less expe
dience as a legislator than his distinguished predecessor, but he has had long
iexperlence in public life.
The newly elected senator was born 52 years ago in the old town of
Winslow, on the Kennebec. He was sprung of New England stock on both
aides, his father being a harness maker, not a poor man, but by no means
affluent. Young Johnson was educated in the country schools and went in
due time to Bowdoin college, entering with the class of 1879.
I After his graduation he studied law, teaching school in the meantime
to bring in some money. He was admitted to the bar in 1886 and has con
tinued to practice since then in the town of Waterville.
GOVERNOR-ELECT OF GEORGIA
Interest throughout Georgia, especially in view of the fact that very recently
the experts of the country gathered at Atlanta to make plans for combating
Ikis insect.
Governor-elect Smith is a native of North Carolina, but studied law In
Georgia and was admitted to the bar in Atlanta, where his home has been
since 1872. He has been a delegate to two national Democratic conventions
and was secretary of the interior under Cleveland from 1893 to 1896.
HANDLES BIG EDITORIAL JOB
ing the Issuing of this edition is the
fact that for the first time in its history the encyclopedia is to be printed on
India paper as well as on the ordinary stock. The India paper edition will
occupy so small space (28 Inches in all) that the entire 28 volumes and index
can be lifted at one time. Mr. Chisholm has been in charge of this work for
eight years. He came to it from the position as leader writer on the London
Times and he expects to go back from it to his newspaper work.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS EXPERT
handling its millions of residents are entirely Inadequate and patrons of Its
subway, surface and elevated lines are crowded into cars like cattle. It Is
doubtful if any other community in the country would submit to the con
ditions which are declared to prevail in the metropolis.
No climate in the country has been
regarded as less encouraging to the
growth of Democratic timber than
that of the Pine Tree state, but since
the thaw of last September the mete
orological conditions have been al
tered.
It was admitted by some political
Jeremiahs that a Democratic gover
nor might slip through the breach in
the Republican lines and Intrench
himself at Augusta, but the most en
thusiastic visionary hardly dreamed
of a Democratic legislature or a Dem
ocratic senator. Not since 1856, when
Hannibal Hamlin crossed the Kenne
bec, had a Democratic senator been
sent to the national capital from
Maine, and not for thirty years had
any New England state elected a Dem
ocratic senator.
So, as Democratic senator from
Maine, Charles F. Johnson will natu-
Governor-elect Hoke Smith of Geor
gia, who exposed a plot of New York
cotton speculators to infect the cot
ton fields with the boll weevil for the
purpose of cutting future crops short
and enabling the speculators to win
a fortune by going “long” of the cot
ton market, was a member of Presi
dent Cleveland’s cabinet. He was last
fall elected governor of Georgia.
The first information of the plot
came in a letter to Mr. Smith from a
man whose name he refuses to give,
but in whom he places entire confi
dence. At Mr. Smith's request the
writer came from New York for a per
sonal visit with the governor-elect.
Convinced by the evidence offered
by this informant, Governor-elect
Smith gave prompt warning to the
farmers and the planters of the south
that two plotters have in their posses
sion at least 1,000,000 live boll wee
vils, and are waiting their opportunity
to scatter these disastrous insects
over Georgia and South Carolina.
The exposure created the liveliest
Hugh Chisholm gave a dinner re
cently to the American contributors
to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
There are 1,500 contributors to this
stupendous work in England and
America. They have written 40,000 ar
ticles, comprising 50,000,000 words.
Editing all this is an enormous under
taking and even the proof reading is
a stupendous job.
The issuing of the encyclopedia is
the greatest undertaking in modern
literature. Even the binding of it may
create a panic in the market for fine
leather. The binding of 1,000 copies
requires 15,000 skins. What makes
the task of producing the work more
serious is the fact that it is brought
out in 28 volumes simultaneously,
whereas the last previous edition was
published one volume at a time and
took 14 years to complete.
Mr. Chisholm has 64 editors work

There is now a movement In New
York for the building and operation
of a new subway to relieve the con
gested traffic conditions, and one of
the prominent bidders for the work is
Frank J. Sprague, whose portrait is
shown. Mr. Sprague is one of the
best known and most highly success
ful electrical engineers In the coun
try. At one time he was an assistant
to Thomas A. Edison and is known
as the pioneer of the modern electric
railway. He founded an electric rail
way and electric companies and has
been engaged in electrical work in
navy yards, torpedo stations and bat
tleships.
The other bidders are William Mc-
Adoo, who constructed the Hudson
river tubes; John Bradey, a large con
tractor, and the management of the
present subway.

IN CONSTANT PAIN.
Little Rest and Less Peace for the
Kidney Sufferer.
Mrs. N. U. Miller, 1509 Jackson St,
Baltimore, Md., says: “There was
scarcely a moment I was not suffering
from kidney trouble. Every move
ment caused misery and at night I
could not sleep owing to the Intense
pain. Dizzy spells
were frequent and
obliged me to sit
down to keep from
falling. Kidney secre
tions were generally
profuse, then again
scanty and deposited
heavy sediment. My
feet and ankles were
so badly swollen that mornings I could
not wear my shoes. Today I am free
from kidney trouble. Two boxes of
Doan’s* Kidney Pills effected a com
plete cure.”

ASTONISHED THE “OLD MAN”
His 'Rah 'Rah Son by No Means the
“Dude” He Had Hitherto
Seemed to Be.
The new governor of a western
state has two sons. One is big and
husky like his*father, but the other Is
more slight; and at time he rather
vexes his father by his affectation of
‘rah-’-rah-boy clothes and a general air
of lassitude and dudlshness.
The two sons and the father were
in the library one night and the name
of a prizefight referee came into the
conversation. The 'rah-’rah boy had
been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs,
but his ears pricked up at the lean’s
name and he drawled: “I rather like
that chap. He’s all right.”
"What do you know about him?"
the other brother asked, rather con
temptuously.
“Oh, he gave me a shade the best
of it one night.”
“Gave you the best of ft?” both
father and brother shouted.
“Yes; you see, I fight under the
pame of Young Ryan and he counted
pretty slow one time when I was
down.” —Saturday Evening Post
COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKFN ERUPTION
"I have been- using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. It began by my no
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think any
thing of them until they' began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until I could not stand the suffering.
Then I began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn’t seem to do
any good. I went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. I lost many nights’ sleep in con
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
ing till I drew tho blood on my face
and head. Then I started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months I was entirely relieved of that
awful pest. I am so delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that I
shall be glad to tell anybody about
it” (Signed) G. M. Macfarland, 221

Farmer’s Rather Humorous Explana

“Tall” Story.
Irving Batcheller once told a story
of a farmer on the Connecticut hills.
“Pretty steep land for planting, isn’t
it?” a visitor asked the tiller of the
soil.
“Pretty steep,” the farmer assented.
"I suppose It’s quite difficult to
plant your corn?”
“Quite difficult,” came the echo.
The visitor was Interested, and
would not be put off with short re
plies.
“Eh —how do you manage to plant
on this hill?” he persisted.
The farmer gazed at him pltylngy.
“We have to shoot It all Into the
earth with shotguns, stranger,” he as
sured his guest.
The visitor gasped. "Really?” he
ejaculated. “Really now? Is that ac
tually true?”
The farmer sighed and turned upon
his guest a look of withering scorn.
'"No, that Isn’t true,” he answered.
"I’m trying to make conversation.”
