Albert Johnson's Dickinson, whom !
regard as without a
Heiress Fine superior in character
and ability among
Young Woman. the young business
women of Chicago, -
said another Chicago business woman of
high standing this week.
ri Judge from the reports that have
drifted down here that the uninformed
public regards her as an interloper and
resents her inheritance of the johnson
fortune. Much that has been said I'M
thinkingly is cruelty unjust to Miss
Dickinson, as will soon become evident
to all who had an opportunity to know
her. She is respected and admired here
by her business associates for just the
reason that won her, fortune-for her
her dignifed reserve and her unselfish
sacrifice for all having the smallest
claim on her. IT,. -, ,
ono one knew these qualities better
than Albert Johnson. who was no
stranger to his cousin, as has been
claimed. He knew just how efficiently
and lovingly she had cared for her
mother, grandparents and aunt, provid-
ing every comfort for them by her own
earnings. Just before her. mother s
death, which was sudden and entirely
new home in Rogers Park for. her
mother IS qualifications. While the work
was going on Mr.. johnson sent her, a
check for SIS, 900 to aid her in this under
taking. This she returned, saying that
if she let him pay for the home it would
deprive her of the pleasure of doing this
service for her mother. 49,. -, -.
This is the woman whom Mr.. John
son felt he could trust to be the
a limo Of
Dickinson will carry out most con-
scientiously and efficiently. all Mr..
johnson s desires in regard to his rela-
tives and other interests. No one hav-
ing any claim upon him will suffer thru
her Inheritance. His relatives: will be
insured maintenance from his estate,
which he felt was doubtful if he al
lowed it to be divided up among those
not trained for large financial respon-
isibilities. speak from personal knowl-
edge when [ say that Miss Dickinson
accepted the fortune in the spirit of a
trusteeshiip and no worthy claim, pub
lie or private, will be ignored, for she
is generous and public-spirited to a
"Her good fortune was absolutely
unexpected to Miss Dickinson; who
had no intimation of it until she was
called to Mr.: Johnson's deathbed. She
told me afterward, why, if Cousin
Albert Johnson had left me $4,000: or
even $4,000 I should have been aston
ished and a good deal overwhelmed. I
didn t want this money and don It need
it, but I've got to take it and use it
as think he wanted me to do.''
The flour fight this week between the
Minneapolis millers and the New Ulm
mills created quite a furry. It is report
ed that the Minneapolis firms offered
their best spring wheat patent -four to
lobbers at 1919 in jute bags, altho at
the same. time they were selling it os-
tensibly in barrels for S.. This caused
a scramble. Country buyers who want.
ed to buy at this rate found that the
low quotations were reserved for. Chi
cago bakers and grocers to shut out
the New Ulm mills. No concessions
were made to them unless they wanted
300 barrels; this amount was sold, but
not under 81 barrel -.
