"JOHNNY ON THE SPOT"
A New Phrase VIII ich Has Suddenly he
come Popular.

Current additions to contemporary
slang find their way into popularity by
odd means. An expression once made
and often repeated gets finally sort
of vogue, especially if it seems peculiar.
The grammatical genesis of Johnny
on the spot" cannot be traced very
clearly, but the phrase certainly origin
ated from the longer and less expressive
one, Johnny is always on the spot
when wanted" A Johnny on the
spot" is man or youth who may be
relied upon to be at a certain stated
place when wanted, and on whose as
sured appearance confident expecta-
ton may be based. It is not sufficient
that an alert and trustworthy indi-
vidual, to be thought deserving of the
name Johnny on the spot" should
restrict his benefcent activity to the
matter of being at certain place when
needed. He must, in addition, render
such service and attend to such busi-
ness when there as the occasion may
require, and such Johnny" must be
be on the spot not merely to attend to
the business of others, but also to look
after his own. Hence an individual
who is prompt and farseeing, alive to
his own interests, and keenly sensible
of means for promoting his own adj
vantage, is "Johnny on the spot The
expression is, to some extent, a varia-
ton or rather continuation of that
other phrase che gets there"
The expression, Johnny on the spot, !"
has come into popularity very suddenly,
and it will probably go out of populari-
ty after some pretty hard usage in
paragraphers' columns, variety theaters,
campaign speeches and cheap plays,
in an equally unconventional way, but
until successor is found it is likely to
be in pretty general use hereabouts.-

MONSTER WALNUT LOG.


Worth . Small Fortune-Tree Said to Be
49, tho Largest Ever Known.
The largest walnut tree or log in east
ern Kentucky, and, perhaps, in the
world, still lies on the mountain side
four or five miles from this place and
is as yet unsold, though thousands ct
the same kind have been taken from
these parts. The tree, indeed, is quite
a giant and is worth a good sum of
money, and would have been marketed
long ago but for the location, being far
upon the mountain side above the cell
ebrated yellow rock" cliffs, almost out
of reach of anything. Fifteen years
ago, before the worth of walnut lunt-
Der was known in this country,
thoughtless bee hunters located
a swarm of bees far up in
its massive branches. and OH
tanned permission from the own
er to fell it to the ground. 1t took
good axmen one whole day to loosen
it from the stump. The bees were
found to be pouring from large limb
or branch 100 feet from the ground, the
branch itself being almost as large as
any Of the trees growing around in the
forest. Seventy-eight pounds Of choice
honey was taken from the limb. Then
the men proceeded to measure the tree,
and from actual measurements found it
10 be nine feet in diameter at the place
where it was cut from the stump AMI
exactly 100 feet to the first limb. Tho
bark on the log is six inches thick, and
now the only appearance of decay ia
in the falling off of the bark. Some
years ago Philadelphia capitalists un-
dertook to purchase the log, and offered
the owner fine farm in the blue grass
part of this state for it, but from un-
known reasons they did not trade.
Now, it is said that lumber company
from Washington city will soon pur.
chase the log and will pay a handsome
sum of money for it. If they should
buy it it. is a question how they will
move it from its long resting plac,.
above that impenetrable ledge of yeL
low marble.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

MAUsoLEUM IN AN OAK.

Recently Discovered In Germany In .
Venerable Tree.
One of the most curious mausoleums
in the world was discovered the other
day in an orchard at the village of
Noebdenitz, in Saxe-Altenburg. A gil
gantic oak tree, which storm had
robbed of it's crown, was up for public
auction. Among the bidders happened
to be Baron Won Thummel, scion of
family of ancient lineage, that has
given the world of literature one charm
ing poet and the Fatherland many dis
tinguished statesmen. The baron,
who lives in neighboring estate, had
ridden to the auction place quite acci-
dentally. Finally the tree was knocked
down to him for 200 marks. Upon his
arrival at the castle he told an old
servant of his purchase, describing the
tree and it's situation. The old servant
said he remembered attending thefuner-
al of a Baron Thummel 20 or so years
ago, and that the body had been buried
in a thousand-year-old oak, belonging
to the parsonage.
Investigation clearly proved that the
VI Sh1Ah Aou NASO DCSu luC VI
I the village church, and that at one side
of the old oak was an iron shutter,
rusty and time worn, that the people OF
the town had always supposed to have
been placed there by some joker or
mischievous boys. The iron shutter
proved to be the gate to the mausoleum
of Baron Hans Wilhelm Won Thummel.
: at one time minister of state of Sake
Altenburg, who died in 1s4. and wished
to be buried Sin the eone-thousand-year
old tree he loved SO well.' In the hoi-
low of a tree Baron Hans caused to be
built a sepulcher of solid masonry,
large enough to accommodate his coffin.
The coffin was placed there, as the
church records show, on March 3, 1924,
and the opening was closed by an iron
CRATE. In the course of time a wall Of
wood grew over the opening, which had
been enlarged to admit the coffin and
the workmen, and for many years it has
been completely shut, thus removing
the last vestige of the odd use to which
the old tree has been put. The tree
has still some life in it. The coffin in
which Baron Hans reposes has on one
side grown to the tree, the dead and
the live wood joining together in eternal
embrace.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Spread of Disease.

In view of the fact that there has
been a great deal of agitation on the
subject of spreading disease by burial,
the following statement from an en-
inent physician will be found interest
ing: "Carcasses of animals infected
with different diseases were buried as
nearly as human bodies would have
been. Bacilli of cholera could no
longer be found in the remains after
% days; those OF typhoid fever disap-
peared after SO days; those of tubercn-
losis after 1913 days; those of tetanus
were very violent after 2S4 days, but
disappeared after S61 days, while the
anthrax bacilli continued in force tc
the end of the year of investigation.
In none of these diseases, save that Of
anthrax, did the germs find their way
to the surrounding water" N. Y

prepared for a seductive gambol with
the wolf, another boy, clad in another
calico dress, climbed over the fence and
approached the pear tree. But the wolf
was not to be deceived. He made
rush for the one nearest him and caught
the dress in his sharp teeth He tore
the garment into shreds before the lad
could escape. And then he went after
the one who tried to beguile him into
play. This boy was little less for
tunate, for the wolf bit him rather Sc
verely; so the Lake View man sold him
to the park commissioners, and now he
frowns at boys and girls alike from be-

A MYSTERIOUS RoADBED.

Phenomenon Not Accounted For ON .
North Carolina Railway.
While a representative was on his
rounds the other day in search of items
he met Capt. T. D. Meares, general
agent of the Seaboard Air Line, and
put the usual query of newspaperdom:
whats the news?'
"Not thing" he replied, unless you
want to make an item of mystery OH
the Seaboard Air Line that up to date
has not been solved"
Capt. Meares then went on to say thst
between the ~ and IS miles posts on
the Carolina Central railroad there is a
piece of track for distance of nearly
six miles that presents asingular con-
dition that so far amounts to an mex
plicable mystery. All trains going and
coming, go to grinding and start terri
bic squeakirg when they get on this six
miles of track. The noise comes from
not only one car, but every locomotive,
every coach and every car of whatever
kind sets up grinding as if turning a
curve.
The noise is something like the
screeching of an OK cart that has no
grease on it, and it is made by every
truck in a train. The track is perfect
ly straight, and, as there is no curve at
all, the cause of the grinding and
squeaking has mystified the railroad
people.
Every effort has been made to ascer-
tain the cause of the difficulty. The ]o-
comotives have been examined, the
coaches and cars have been scrutinized,
every cross-tie and every rail has been
inspected, every joint has been looked
at, and every foot of the track has been
regauged, but no explanation could be
found. The section master has almost
crawled over the six miles on his knees
in search of the cause; the road master
has tried his best to ferret out the mat
ter, and the superintendent has been
over the track and inspected it--all of
them making repeated efforts time and
again to find out what is the matter
but they have given it up as bad
job. They have not only not been able
to discover the cause of the noise, but
have been unable to discover any theory
to explain the mystery.
It is one of the railroad mysteries of
the age, and has been going on for 90
years. During that time the cross-ties
and rails have been replaced several
times with new ones, but without ef-
feet. Who can explain the mystery p
