TOM JOHNSON TAKES OFFICE,
Puts Mayor Farley Out Ahead of the
Regular Time.

h"C.
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, last
night says: Tom l.. Johnson surprised the
people of this city by walking into the
office of Mayor Farley this morning at
1923 o'clock and demanding the keys to
the Office and the desk of the mayor. TAX
ing off his coat and hat he announced that
he was mayor of the city Of Cleveland, and
that Mr.. Farley was once more private
citizen.
Farley, who has q contempt for Johnsons S
democracy, picked up his private papers,
his fishing tackle and shotgun, which he
always kept in the office, and walked out.
Johnson shattered custom in this move, as
it is unwritten law that mayor-elect
shall not take Office until the 10th of April
But Johnson had a purpose in this. When
he was conducting his campaign Mayor
Farley drew up an ordinance which prac-
tically sought to turn the entire water
front over to the Pennsylvania company
The measure passed the council, and Far
! ley was about to ratify the agreement be-
tween the city and the pennsylvania COM
p8ny, when Johnson denounced the ordi-
nance as a gigantic steal, and secured q
ten-day injunction restraining Mayor Far
| ley from signing it. The, injunction expired
| at IL O'Clock this morning.
| Early in the morning Johnson was in
| formed that Mayor Farley intended to rat
ify the agreement. He went directly to the
| board was making the official count.
| He hurried the hoard up. and at 1920 he
! was handed his certificate OF election. In
| the Office of the city clerk he offered his
bond for $4,000 and Attorney Mooney
swore him in as mayor.
| He reached the office of Mayor Farley
| just thirty-seven minutes before the ex-
| piration of the temporary Injunction and
Won his point.
johnson declares that he will never sign
the agreement The lake front has been
IN litigation for years. and now johnson
| intends to carry the case to the United
States Supreme Court in behalf of the city.
After assuming the may0raity johnson
walked to the court house, where he IFS
tened to the arguments in the case wherein
he Is plaintiff and defendant. He COM
| menced the suit as u citizen against the
| mayor. Now that Farley Is cut Johnson is the
defendant. and he is enjoying the unique
distinction of suing himself The tempo

GRANT CONQUERED THE MULES

Major J.. A. Watrous, U. S. A., tells, in
this weeks Saturday Esening Post, several
good stories of General Grant when he
was lieutenant in the Mexican War.
One is the mule story. He tried detail
of men and many ropes but the mule got
the better of the experiment. Then this
happened:
Returning, he gave orders to take the
next victim to the large rock. 1t was
backed as close to the obstruction as
possible without actually touching it.
Half dozen men were told to hold the
brute by the head, ears and neck, and on
no account to let it advance from the
rock. Then man was told to clap a
harness on quickly. As soon as the buck
les began to fasten the mule became rest
less. Pretty soon it made sudden lunge
and succeeded in getting four feet away
from the rock, and then the fun began.
Its heels cracked against the rock say
agely for a short time. 1t was new ex-
perience, and apparently a painful one,
for the battered hind feet were lifted
again and again, but very gently, and
only one at . time, while its head shook
and ears Topped. That mule was cured
and the problem solved. The detail re-
turned to camp late that evening having
accomplished its mission-taken the kick
out of drove of as unmanageahle mules
as ever hauled pork and hardtack."

body, and I knew that the kind-hearted
nurse and doctors were striving their
beat to cure her. But all in vain; she
grew weaker daily.
Jim rarely left her; but one day when
I had taken his place beside her she
said.
"Mrs. NJ, Jim has promised me to go
back to the country after-when there's
no need for him to come here any more,
and you don't know how glad it
makes me. If could only live to go

looked up in my face SO wistfully. ''But
it's all right" she went on, resignedly,
'T know it's sill right, and best, some
how, though can't see it; for who is
goin' to take care of Jim?" Holding her
hand in mine leaned forward, and
pointing upward said:
''He who doeth all things well. He
will take care of Jim; just ask Him and
trust Him, that is allP'
She nodded her head, her voice too
full of tears for her to speak. A few
days more, and on making my daily visit
I found the cot empty.

question, "she passed away last evening,

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC

AUG disease More Prevalent than Ever and
quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment
Inc grip has surprised the doctors and
healtn authorities this season by its
rapid spread and by some novel symp-
toms. While it spares nobody it is prov
ing especially dangerous to middle-aged
and elderly persons. In MANY cases
either fatal onset of pneumonia, or a
complete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack of
grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
BY wearing a Bensons Porous Plaster on
the chest and back you protect the lungs
from cold and chill and with ordinary
care) you are safe from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
