JOHN H. LAhGTOA.
One Of the Popular and Rising YOUNG
Men Of st. Paul.
HE WEARS MANY DIAMONDS,
But He Can't Be Blamed for Doing So,
as They Are the Gifts of
Friends.

Among the popular young men who
are well known in st. Paul. none has
more friends than Johnny LangtOn.
Johnny has a middle name that begins
with II, but what it is when spelled out
he hasn't yet divulged to only his most
intimate friends.
Johnny was born in the somewhat
noisy city of New York early in the
morning, Aug. 9, 1850, and up
to the present time he is
twenty-seven years of age, though
one to look at his fresh young face
would think he had hardly passed the
eighteenth milestone of his existence.
He is refreshing example of a self-made
man, for he pulled himself up from
clerk in shoe house and general utility
boy in barrel factory to one of the
brightest and most affable hotel clerks
who ever stood behind register and i'll
weighed prudish customers into believ-
ing that room on the fifth floor is Just
as safe as chair in the office in case of
fire.
Early in life Johnny made two
tied Europe in company with his
parents. His father was prosperous
shoe merchant, and had factories in this
country and Ireland. His tastes did
not turn to books, and he left school at
the age Of eleven years under the I'M
preston that he had stored away as
much general information as any Ordi-
nary professor could give him. That
was tliS last of school life he ever saw.
He gradnSted from barrel factory to a
wholesale grocery house, where he
gradually developed into bill clerk
and bookkeeper. This was in Bradford,
Pa. Later on Johnny drifted into pol
itics, and when the Evening Telegram
was established fn Bradford for the
purpose of boosting Col. Egge into.
the Office of state treasurer, he assumed
the management of that sheet, which
eventually resolved itself into the Even
ing Times and the Sunday News. Three
years Johnny was connected with the
newspaper business, and at the end Of

MY LITTLE LAD,

Oh! happy the home oAt
Where hearts are made glad rs
By the noisy mirth mr.,
Of dear little lad. 10
Up in the morning bright as bird,
Coming his lessons word by word
That's my little lad.
Down through the meadow
And over the hill,
Home for q luncheon
And never quite still
That's my little lad.
Filling his pocket with tops and string,
Bringing home turtles,
Or some horrid thing
That's my little lad.
Making me work from morn till night.
Yet saving me steps so CHEEKY and bright
That's my little lad.
Full of his mischief,
Yet never real bad,
How could he be,
When he's my little lad.
Pride of my heart
Source of great Joy,
And for his sake love
Every boy-my dear little lad. NH.

Will Suffer a Serious Loss.

Rev. S. G. Smith. of St. Paul-for-
merly of Decorah-has withdrawn from
the Methodist church and will preach
in the opera house. The church was
too far behind the age to suit him. AS
DR.. Smith is admitted to be the ''finest

Methodist organization will suffer a
serious loss-although it will survive
for time, it will feel the privation of
such large installment of its brains.

but we resolved to put oars to
account and start toward the island.
We made very little progress the first
day, as we felt kind of fascination to
see what would happen to the burning
ship, for it had not broken out yet into
general cOnf1agratiOn, and we also
hoped the fire would attract passing
ship. At about 10 o'clock at night the
still air and the ocean reSounded with
terrific explosion, followed almost i'm
mediately by another, and before the
echoes had ceased (for there are echoes

living flame burst from every part of
the vessel, and for the rest of the night
she burned with wonderful brilliancy.
Just along in the gray twilight of the
morning we saw dim, ShadOwy some
thing rise ON the horizon. Soon we made
it out to be a sail. The breeze had
freshened during the night, and few
hours after sunrise we were rescued
from our perilOuS position and on board
the Spanish bark Santiago. We had
been rescued from the sea to be made
the victims of far greater horrors. The
Santiago was Smuggler, for all know,
as she was afterward adjudged, but,
worse than this, ten of her crew were
lying sick with the fever. OF the month
that followed will not speak in detail.
Suffice it IT, mot a we'll man remained
on the ship, I'D that many of the dead
lay about the fOrecaStle and even on

night and l sat beside his bed. His
daughter, beautiful Spanish girl of
eighteen, knelt beside the bed also with
her beads in one hand, and in her other
she held her fathers hand. She was
praying. Poor child, she was the most

Nothing was in shape. The top gal

about the same condition. The vessel
was bounding on dead before the wind,

The Wheel in the British Arm y
London Letter,


We are just beginning to feel our an
nual military fever. Easter is upon us
again with its volunteer marching col
umnS, its tactical experiments, its Mon
day reviews. The lessons to be learned
from them are occasionally of impor-
lance, even to the best regular soldiers.
For example, last year the experiment
of scouts on bicycles and tricycles,
unsatisfactory as it was In the
eyes of most intelligent critics, has
led to the formation of body of men
that in a settled country will be found
most useful by any army, and will
under certain conditions be indispenSa-
BILE in every army. There can be no
doubt that, seeing how mobility has
entered into the conditions of warfare
in way our grandfatherS and even our
fathers little dreamed of, all sOldleS
ought to be trained as cyclists. L con-
feSS that last year, watching i'll COM
pany with German officer the
antics of some of the volunteer
wheelmen, l came to the conclusion
that they would be useful merely for
communicating along the lines of a
force. That opinion l now recant. Cy-
clists will play great part i'll modern
warfare in harassing the enemy, as
we'll as in watching his move
ments. They and mounted infantry
will decide many contest i'll
the coming time. And as cycle costs
less than pony, either at first or to
keep, cyclists may to large extent sup
plement if not SuperSede mounted in
fantry in countries that have good main

MUSICIANS BENEFIT TODAY.

On last Sunday afternoon Prof. Frank
DAM, the popular musician and leader
of the well-known DAM orchestra, was
rendered a grand testimonial benefit by
his many friends at Harmonic hall.
Every seat in the hall was occupied and
standing room was at premium. To-
day the members of the orchestra will
be given benefit, and it is hoped that
the marked success of last Sundays per-
fOrmance will be repeated The people
in the city should feel proud to think
that such an excellent combination of
eminent musicians resided in the city,
and should manifest their appropriations
by patronizing the boys this afternoon.
1.-THE Mayors Patrol'' will be rendered
by request and is sure to make de-
cided hit. The program is especially
good, and several local artists have vol
unteered their services to add to the at
fractions of the event.
