Brief Sketch of the Life of Andrew
Johnson.

Andrew johnson was born in North
Carolina in 1908, and if he had lived until
December next would have been sixty
seven years old His father was porter
and the city sexton of Raleigh At ten
years Of age young Johnson began active
life as an apprentice to a tailor, and at
eighteen removed with his widowed moth
er to Greenville, Tenn, where he worked
at his trade. He never ceased to be proud
OF his gradual but sure ascent to political
prominence, and never tired of referring
to his service as Alderman and Mayor
OF his native village as he called Green
vile, or of his subsequent election to
nearly all the public positions in the gift
OF his constituents. There seems to have
been no back-set to his ascent and his
tireless nature kept him in public lifeeven
to the day of his death. He was elected
an Alderman at twenty and Mayor at
twenty-three. He was a member of the
Legislature at twenty seven, and a presi-
dental elector at thirty-two When thir-
ty-two he was elected to Congress, and
served for ten years. Then he became
Governor of Tennessee and after a four
years term was elected to the United
States Senate. From that time his life be-
came familiar to the whole country In
1864 Mr.. johnson was elected Vice Presi
dent, and, on the death of Mr. Lincoln,
became President. Last year he was
elected to the United States Senate by the
Tennessee Legislature after heated can

The principal interest which attaches to
therecent death of ex.Emperor Ferdinand,
of Hungarv and Austria, pecuniary owing
to the fact that, under private arrange
ment with the present house OF Austria,
mace in 1915, he shared half the imperial
pnvy purse with Francis Joseph. The
present Emperor has always paid over the
one half regularly. although it left him
rather Shor, He viii probably not mourn
much over the old acntleman'S decease.
