Their Descent Traced From Adam,

Popular interest in Albert Judson
Fishers unique love-store, "a Daugh-
ter Of ADAM" in The Ladies' Home
Journal for August, has been increased
tenfold since it became known that the
genealogical part of the story is not
fiction. but fact Not only is the mar
velous line of decent, traced through
121 generations from Adam and Eve,
absolutely genuine but also the family
names of the characters are the names
of real peogle, for the line is actually
that of Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith Sar-
gent, of Chicago, and Mrs. Sargent
was formerly Miss Frances Moore, of
Warren, Rhode Island. Even stranger
still is the fact that, as shown in the
story, Mr.. and Mrs. Sargent had the
same ancestor eight generations back.

ANDREW JOHNSON,
Some "reminiscences of Days When He Was
Military Governor.

"The death of Mrs. Martha Patter-
son, " said the Doctor, ''remined me that
some of the most remarkable stories of
the civil war have not been written. The
adventures of the Johnson family in 1861
and 1862 make one of the most exciting
of these stories, and it has never been
told in its fullne@.
'In 1851 Andrew Johnson was United
States Senator from Tennessee. He
stood with the unionists and used the
harshest language in criticism of the
secessionists He returned with his
family to Tennessee and caused more
c)mmotion than any other man in the
state. The people of Tennessee had
voted strongly against secession, and
Johnson believed thst the state could
be saved to the union. But the fact
that he was we'll known and popular
aud fighter caused him to be made
the object OF bitter attack on the part
of those engaged in the intrigue to
take Tennessee out of the union.
He was abused in the newspapers,
attacked by mobs and hanged in effigy.
He knew every man in public life in
the state, and he did not hesitate to
deal i'll the most pointed personalities.
1t was necessary to silence him, and all
sorts of schemes and influences were
restored to- But johnson went to his
old home i'll East Tennessee, made
strong union addresses at the conven,
tions held in that part of the state, and
was so active and aggressive that force
was resorted to and he was driven
from his home. Defending himself on
