FOR sending censored news, and forbidden

as a spy I am destitute, exhausted, hun
CRY, and we'll nigh desperate. Do with me
as you please"
Everybody that knew Gen Johnson
knows what he did He gave the fugitive
food, dry clothing and comfortable quar-
tiers for the night. The next morning he
furnished him horse and permitted him
thereafter during the march to ride with
his staff. When certain objective point
was reached Willard telegraphed his pa
per, received help and further instruc-
tons and babe adieu to JohnSon's divis-
ion, giving its commander thanks in pro-
fusion for his kindness and benefac tons
But in few days came the Cincinnati
paper containing, as the work of MI.
Willard, a caustic criticism of the Union
army and the Union campaign in Ten
nessee and roasting the generals right
and left. Of Gen. Johnson the article
said he lacked head that he had ''too
much heart" and was too easily i'm
pressed" to ever become a successful
general, etc, etc. Gen. Johnson used to
say that at first, upon reading this article
he thought the author an ungrateful
scoundrel, who ought to be permanently
banished from the country and from we'll
bred society. But, on due reflection, he
concluded that the writer had only given
his opinion from a newspaper mans
standpoint, and the general was wont
to say naively that he was afraid to
make fuss about it lest the CORES
pondents criticism might prove to be cor
recti
Years afterward, when Willard came to
St Paul to attend the great Northern
Pacific celebration of 1888. Gen. Johnson
was presented to him in the parlor of the
Merchants hotel Recognizing at once
he former Union commander who had
fairly rescued him from prfvation and
peril in the time of the war, the railroad
magnate greeted him warmly and effus-
lively He related the Incident to the
group of notable personages present and
concluded by saying: Gen. Johnson, you
gave me a flesh and blood horse to ride
once, when I was very poor; now I can
give you an iron horse to ride when
ever you want it, and I can hitch him
to a palace car if you prefer. When you
want to take a trip to the Pacific coast
let me know"
Sometime later Gen. Johnson desired to
visit the coast with his wife and wrote
to Mr.. Willard, reminding him of his
promise. Il think my letter must have
miscarried,' the general used to say;
'at any rate it was never answered.

HOW MAUDE VOTED.

Maude Miller rose on election morn
AS proud as a kid with a new tin horn.
For she was to cast a vote, and she
was filled with angelic ecstacy!
She felt that men were common clay
And she, on that glorious woman's day!
That she was the equal before the law
OF any old hemale She ever saw.
She dressed herself with unusual care
From her dainty feet to her fluffy hair
In party carriage she would not ride.
Shed walk to the polls in her mannish
pride,
She started forth with a dashing swing
AS gay as a jaybird on the wing,
4 nilliner5's window caught her eye,
AND you know she could never pass that
Stepped into the waiting spiders net.
10 Try on hat; 1t was early Yet.
She spent an hour mid the fairy show
Then happened to think she would better
60
Some gowns in a window lay in wait
For girls who would bite at such a bait.
She glued her nose to the polished pane
And studied the styles again and again.
She wondered how she would look if she
Were dressed in such dreams of fnery!
She entered the store and for half the
day
Inspected the goods in crazy way.
As the day was waning she stood before
The flashing gems in a Jeweiry store;
Passed on to a window filled with hose.
And mghties and other sacred clothes,
Went into an ice cream joint to get
plate or two of the frozen wet
She met friend on the street, and they
SWapped talk till an hour had passed
away.
Then again she FASTENED in a graceful
To make a shy at her sacred right.
But alas! as you no doubt have supposed,
She found that the mean old polls had
closed
They might have known, the condemned
OF men, that She hadn't voted yet.
They did it on purpose! It wasn't fair.
They were perfectly hOrrid old things!
So there!

STORIES OF THE STREET.

Many interesting incidents in the re-
markable career Of Henry Willard are
now current and the recollection of more
of them within the memory of certain
citizens of st. Faul has been revived Mr.
Willard was we'll known in this city, and
at one time, when prominent in the
affairs of the Northern Pacific, had con-
Guided to take up his residence here.
Perhaps the late Gen. r. w. Johnson
whose grand military figure was so long
familiar on our streets and whose spleu-
did military services in behalf of the oldl
Union cause are vet so gratefully re-
menfbered-was- the first St Paul man to
become personally acquainted with MF
Willard The old general often related
the particulars. According TO his version,
it was during the War of the Rebellion,
while Gen Johnson was in command Of
a division o. Union troops in Tennessee
and Henry Willard was the war CORES
pendent OF a Cincinnati paper, when they
first met.
At the close of a long toiisome days
march through river and mud in Central
Tennessee the provost guards of Gen.
Johnson's division brought to headquar-
ters a prisoner who had been arrested
because he had been found within the
lines without pass. Confronted with
the general, in the latter's tent, the
prisoner, who was worn, weary. wet and
mud-bedra cgled, said dejectedIy: "My
name is Henry Willard. I have been ex-
pelled from Gen. G-s division lines
