For some time Miss Johnson has been
seriously thinking of becoming a pro-
fessional actress, but her father, it is
said, has been opposed to her taking
such step. Last spring she visited
New York with her mother and ar
ranged to take a course of dramatic
study, but returned to Cleveland with
out entering the school.
Miss johnson is one of the most beau
tiful and popular young women in
Cleveland society, and the announce
ment that she wished to adopt the
stage as a profession caused somewhat
of a sensation. For some time she has
been interested in the study Of social
problems and has been active in her
investigation Of the life of poor chill
dren. Last summer she achieved the
distinction Of being named as an Off
cial mother by the judge Of the juve-
nile court of Cleveland. Her appoint
ment as official mother was made at
her own request. She receives large
allowance from her father and contrib
utes literally to the various charities in
which she is interested.
Last spring, after Miss johnson had,
as it was thought at the time, aban-
doned her theatrical aspirations, it was
rumored that she was to marry John
L. Dudley, Jr., son of New York mil
lionaire.

VALIANT WARRIORS.
THE HONORABLE ARTILLERY COM
PANY OF LONDON.

why They Have Invaded the United
States In Full PRnOpIy of War.
Most Ancient Military Body In the
worId-Their Boston Offspring.
The visit of the Honorable Artillery
Company of London to this country as
the guest Of the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company Of Boston is in full
fillment Of promise made to the Bos-.
ton warriors seven years ago, when
the latter invaded England and were
royalty entertained by the hospitable
Londoners. The London company is
the most ancient military body in the
world, according to its historian, and
it has but one offspring, the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company of
Boston. The parent company originated
in the time of Edward l., but was not
incorporated until 1887, during the
reign of Henry VIII.
Despite the great age Of the company
its history is not long array of war
like deeds. In fact, for the last hun
bred years it's record is mainly one of
brave show and of valiant assaults on
the good things provided by the COM
missary officers who have been chosen,
it is said. more for their proved skill
in epicurean science than for valor on
the field of war.
However that may be, history records
that since the Gordon riots in London
in 1880 the Honorable Artillery Compa-
ny has experienced no active service.
1t has been reviewed innumerable
times by innumerable potentates, Its
long list of feasts, parades and encamp-
ments bearing witness to the strenu-
BUSINESS of it's labors.
The Honorable Artillery Company of
London now consists Of about $50
members of all ranks. 1t is divided into
one battery of horse artillery and six
companies of infantry. There is also a
company of veterans, who, having sery-
ed ten years, may retire into the veter-
an company, retaining their privileges
of membership in the main body with
out having to perform the duties there
Of. Since 1641, when the Prince of
Wales, who afterward became Charles
H., Joined the Honorables, the artillery
men have always had king or a
prince of Wales in nominal command.

SOME DoN'TS FOR WIVES.

Don't antagonize your husbands men
friends. They may be better than they
look.
Don't be the last to acknowledge his
merits. Men love flattery as women do
f1nery.
Don't cook unless you know how.
When his digestion goes reform admin
istration is dead.
Don't travel wide apart or the chains
will cut. The only way not to feel
them is to keep close together.
Don't make the evening repast con
fessional for household troubles. He
has troubles of his own. You may be
one of them.
Don't be ashamed to proclaim your
love for him. Tell him often and de-
mand response. 1t gives him some
thing to think about.
Don't put him on the fire escape to
smoke. Suppose the draperies do get
full of the fumes. Some day you may
hunger for the smell of them.
Don't wear chip on your shoulder.
An ounce of forgiveness is worth a
pound of pride. Give in. You can have
your way when he is not looking.
Don't attach too much Importance to
those little tiffs which may be the re-
suit of outside worries or indigestion
Make allowances for his being human.
Give him the benefit of every doubt. If
you put pint man in quart measure
he will grow up to it.

devolves on the lieutenant colonel. that
office at present being held by the Earl
of Denbigh, who has seen real fighting
in India and in Egypt. The Earl of
Denbigh is a lord in waiting to King
Edward, having previously held that
position by command of Queen Victo-
ria. The earl was born in 1859, has had
a long and distinguished career in the
army and was decorated for bravery in
the Egyptian campaign of 1882. The
earl leads the contingent, about 100
strong, which has invaded the United
States.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company of Boston was the first organ
lied military body in America and is
lineal descendant Of the London com.
pany. Robert Keayne had joined the
London company in 1923. Subsequent
ly he crossed the ocean and became
member of the Massachusetts Bay colo
ny. He was instrumental in forming
the Boston company and became its
first commander
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company was organized in 1887 and a
year later received its charter of in
corporation under the title of ''The
Military Company of the Massachu-
setts." A few years later the name
''The Artillery company" appeared in
the records. From 1708 to 1873 the
title appears to have been the Honor
able Artillery Company" and from the
latter date the present appellation be-
came the rule.
Like its London prototype, the Bos
ton company has won greater renown
in peace than war. Though the organ
ization is styled company and its COM
handing officer is officially designated
captain, it is really a large regiment
and parades as such in two battalions.
The present commander, Colonel Sid
ney M. Hedges, was first elected to the
position in 1895. 1t is said that the in
vasion Of the London company has
raised the price of wine in Boston 20
per cent.
