GOV. TOM JOHNSON.

A Stubborn Patriot to Whom This Coun-
try Owes Great Debt.
In storied burial ground in Fred
erick, ''in his narrow bed,'' sleeps one
whose name never fails to stir the heart
of the old Marylander with lively emo
tions of admiration and affection-Gov.
Tom Johnson, that audacious and stub
born patriot, of whom John Adams
said that he was one of four citizens
of Maryland and Virginia without
whom there would have been no revo-
lution;" although, in affected scorn of
him, q British officer, writing to his
people at home, had assured them
there is no need to-be alarmed by all
this noise in the colonies, which is main
~ made by a boy named Tom Johnson -
''That pestilent rebel of the British
war office, writes John Williamson
Palmer in Century, was the trusty,
loving friend of Washington, whom he
nominated to be commander-in-chief
of all the armies of the united colonies; /;
member of the first congress, and OF
the convention which adopted the con-
stitution of the United States; first
governor of Maryland, and an associate
Justice of the supreme court; and he
was twice urged to accept the portfolio
of secretary of state. He was in his
day the first citizen of Maryland, and
in all the colonies the revolution dis
closed no wiser, stronger, sweeter char
acter than his who joined the fortitude
of the warrior with the foresight of the
statesman in the temperament of an
eager, dauntless boy.

FAlTHFuL HERpER.
A Dog That Kept Flock Together for
Two Years.


Two Years.
A dog in New Mexico, returning one
evening with his sheep to the fold,
discovered that his master was still
in his shanty and kept very quiet, says
the Christian at Work. The next even
ing it was the same. But after pen
ming up the sheep the dog smelled about
the door, scratched, barl1ed, and even
howled, as he was getting very hungry.
But his master did not move. The dog,
true to his appointed duty, went out
with the sheep on the third day, but
that night when he drove the flock into
their pen, the last one to attempt to
get in became the victim of the dogs
appetite. This method of providing for
his own wants became a part of the
faithful dogs daily duty. Every even
ing the last sheep to try to enter the
fold was seized by him and served for
supper, and breakfast, and dinner the
following day The ranch to which the
dog belonged was in a solitary part
Of the territory, and out of the track
of travel or visitation.
For two years from the time of
the masters death, as ascertained by
data left by the latter, the faithful
dog attended the flock committed to
his charge, and had fresh mutton Tor
his supper every night. The flock was
not decimated by this steady drain
upon its resources. On the contrary, it
increased i'll numbers, and when, at
the end of two years from the time
of the death of the proprietor, the ranch
was visited and the remains of the own
er were found, the dog was still at his
post of duty, jealousy guarding his
flock and driving them to the best pas
lures every day and to the fold at
night, before which he slept to keep
the wild sheep-eaters of the plains
at safe distance.

now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-leeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invgorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the

Water Three Dollars a Quart.

In speaking Of the PapazO Indians,
Mr.. MeGee said: "They iahabit a
country Of broad plains, with noun
tain ranges between. The mountains

plains live the Indians. The country
Is one Of the most arid regions on the
face of the globe, a whole year passing
sometimes without a drop of rain-
GeOlogically, it is a curious place. The
streams rise in the mountains, but
never reach the sea, and the debris
carried by the rivers, instead of ind
ing its way to the ocean, isspread upon
the plains, the rivers drying up before
they reach the sea. Semland, in the
State of Sonora, was never seen by a
white man until about two years ago,
when the Bureau of EthnOlOgy sent
out an expedition to explore that
region. The natives are constantly
vigiIant every moment, from day to day
week to week, month TO month, year
to year, expecting and dreading the ap-
prOach of an enemy. They were al
ways prepared for any emergency The
dearth OF water was the greatest obsta-
Gle to the exploration. Every drop We
used was carried from twelve to fifteen
miles by men under heavy guard.
Water there is more valuable than gold,
and often we measured it out in spoon
fuls. In counting the dangers and Ia
bor of securing water we estimated its
worth at from s. to 81 a quart. - Bditi-

My DEAR Bob: For the sake of the

coming event which will make me the
happiest man in the country. You
may not know that soon after we land

How is that for the fellow you all

so. / had given my love and fullest

thought | Possessed in return. We
were 10 have been married three years
| ago. My faith in her was implicit,
but it was misplaced and l was most
cruelty awakened from that dream OF
bliss, as it only needed the appearance
of a wealthy suitOr, twice her age, to
make her throw me over at the
eleventh hour. 1t was a hard blow
then, but thank her for it now, as
she never loved me, and from the first
moment that / looked into the clear,
soulful eyes of my brave darling, who
faced death with her helpless father
rather than leave him To die alone, |
have known that the love | felt for
| the woman who sold herself for gold
was but passing dream, and that IL
was not so much the loss of love as il
was wounded pride that hurt, when
she made me the object of sympathy
or jest by her desertion.
Il suppose you will feel immeasur-
| ably bored if 1 write one-half the senti-
ment feel, for am very much in love,
and since the moment | plunged into
the seething waters, through a flame of
fire, with my beautiful love in my
arms, my whole life has been changed.
When you see me again | shall be a
Benedict and an object of envy TO you
all, for | shall have my tyrant with
me. She wishes me to give her love
10 the handsome lieutenant" so here
it is, but you need not think it at all
necessary to exchange nor return it to
her when you meet, rs shall allow no
trespassing by such heart-smashers as
! yourself, old fellow.
Come down and act "a best man for
me. The captain and Aline send you
n pressing invitation to their hospitable
Virginia home and several pretty girls
will be here to help entertain you
Let Us know when to expect you, at
your earliest convenience. Regards
