How the Hardy Explorers Reached
This Land Is n Mystery.
How paleoIithic men got to this land
for it does not seem likely that the
genus homo was indigenous here-is a
question that has puzzled the wisest;
perhaps by way of Greenland, over the
bridging ice field which probably con.
nected Europe and America. However,
we know that he did get here, and, as
the first wandering bands of these old
hunters came, we know, too, that they
found a land of snow and ice, of great
rivers and many lakes. 1t seems prob.
able, from the finding of occasional i'm.
PIGMENTS in the older gravels, that the
earliest immigrants arrived while the
glacier was at its maximum.
One unbroken field of ice had spread
over all the north, covering Manhat-
tan island 1000 feet and reaching to
within so miles of Philadelphia. AS the
years passed, more bands of these hardy
explorers reached this land, and as the
second and later ~recessions of the ice
occurred, with accompanying flooded
rivers, it is likely" that a fairly dense
paleolithic population peopled our
river valleys. 1t was a long time since
the first of their race came over the
ice; a far distant past it must have
seemed-as it truly was to these later
day men.
To us the founding of Egypt is so fay

JoHNsoN.s YOUTH.

How the President Began Life in =
south Carolina Taflor's shop.
Three-quarters of q century ago In
the little village of Laurens, in the stato
Of South Carolina, there lived and la
bored at the tailor's trade ayoung man
who was destined to play an important
part in the affairs of the nation. OF
humble origin, and having had prac-
tically no educational advantages, he
had in his character the elements OF
true manhood and by force of brain
power and ability attained the highest
position of honor and trust in the re-
public.
Andrew johnson left his home Ia
North Carolina by reason of trouble
with his employer, and went to tho
then ultra-exclusive and a~ristocratiC
village Of Laurens. He had no infuen-
tiaI family connections, and was as
poor as the traditional church mouse,
his worldly possessions consisting only
of the clothes he wore. To one &c
quainted with the social conditions OF
the ante-bellum south, the difficulties
incident to obtaining recognition by a
man handicapped as johnson was a
readily be imagined. The sterling
worth Of the young tailor, however,
made itself felt, and demanded the adj
miration and respect soon accorded
him even by those who were wont to
consider one not to the manner born de-
serving Of but condescending notice.
Soon after reaching Laurens johnson
secured a position in a tailoring estab.
Iishment, and this he held with perfect
satisfaction to his employers until his
return to his North Carolina home. He
was q painstaking laborer, and took
~commendable pride in doing his work
as perfectly as possible. A coat cut, it
ted and made by johnson is still 10 Ell.
istence. 1t was made for Col. Henry C.
Young, a prominent lawyer and poll
tician of upper California, and is now
treasured by his descendants as one OF
their most precious possessions. The
fact that the coat is still in a good state
of preservation may possibly be taken
as an evidence of the excellency and
durability of the work.

the time, and now draws a princely
salary. He will draw his salary as long
as he lives.
Gen. Howard, Gen. Ruger, Gen.
Brooke, and many other men, have been
gallant soldiers; but they do not aspire
to an expensive junket, for their own
personal qualification, glory and re-
nown. They are contented to be good
soldiers, to receive their salaries, and
end their days in dignity and honor,
without taxing the people whom they
have served in the military branch of
the government. Why should one man
have the privilege of an expensive 1un-
ket through Europe, because he has
been a good soldier?
Many a good soldier went on foot
through all the campaigns of the civil
war. and also fought through Indian
campaigns. Every one of them was ex-
posed to shot and shell, and offered his
life for his country. Every one of them
is a hero. In this republic, where ali
men are free and equal, every private
soldier who went into battle is as much
entitled to a trip through Europe as the
man who wore shoulder straps, and re-
eeived a splendid salary. Now, honor
bright, isn't that so?
