ABOUT TOM JOHNSON.
How CIeveland's Mayor Became ,
Disciple of Henry George.

Disciple of Henry George.
Leslie's Weekly contains an inter-
esting sketch of Mayor Tom Johnson.
Of Cleveland. who is more and more a
national figure. The following ex-
tracts from the article are interesting:
In person Mayor Johnson is about
five feet. seven inches in height. His
figure is rotund, almost rolypoly. His
curly iron gray hair is usually care
lessly brushed back from his rather
low, but broad forehead. He is smooth
shaven, and his smooth round face has
been lightly touched in the matter of
wrinkles. Many of his pictures give
him a rather boyish appearance. which
is belied, however, by the firm, aggres-
sive chin and wide, strong mouth, with
lips which compress firmly, and an un-
der lip which protrudes just enough to
indicate the tenacity of purpose so
strong a feature of his mental makeup.
He dresses plainly, usually in single
breasted frock coat Of generous pro-
portions, and of dark mixture. He
is unostentatious and though always
neat, hardly suggests a fashion plate.
Tom Johnson had an opportunity to
attend school until he was 16 years of
age. Then family reverses compelled
his giving up efforts to obtain an edu-
cation to assist in keeping the wolf
from the door. He began work in a
Louisville rolling mill office as an err
rand boy. His alertness soon attract
ed the attention of one of the officials
of the Louisville Street Railway COM
pany. and he was given clerical po-
sition at s. week. Two years later
he was superintendent Of the road.

was worse than folly. The young man
came to America, where he remained
until he was ''cured" of his love for

as Lord Reyelstoke in 1897. Several
times since then his name has been
coupled with that Of Princess Victoria
