New Ulm, MIMI, Oct. 9.--Celebrities,
their photographs and their autographs
constitute the hobby of Fred W. John
son Of New Ulm, brother of Governor
John A. johnson. For more, than
decade he has been gathering the like
nesses of the great, and his collection
cumulated by single person, and one
of the most complete of it's kind in the
world. Long ago it passed into the
thousands, and now Mr.. johnson has
pictures-he knows not how many.
His First Efforts.
When Mr.. johnson began his collec-
ton he was editing and publishing the
New Ulm Review. Wishing to secure
the editorial field, he adopted the plan
he has since followed of writing per-
sonal letters to each. Oddly enough,
only few of the editors responded, but
his attempt suggested the idea Of get
ting pictures of famous men and women
and when he put it into execution he
met with most remarkable success: A
tration of Governor John Lind. the
owner Of the collection was appointed
state librarian of Minnesota, and his
collection then grew rapidly.
Mr.. johnson IS now the proprietor of
the Dakota house at New Ulm, and his
private hall Of fame is in his library on
an upper floor. It is cozy apa<tment,
and an attractive arrangement Of the
photographs he has collected gives it an
| novel. ~

MTaru for Sailor.

Why is the word 'tar" synonym
for "sailor?" Some Dictionaries say
that the allusion is to the seamen's
tarry hands and clothes-the "savor OF
tar" of Stephanos song In "The Tenn
pest" Burns uses ''tarrybreeks" as
equivalent to sailor" But 1t Is re-
garded as much more probable that
'tar" is short for "tarpaulin," since
Clarendon and other writer's col
loquilly use "tarpaulin" to signify a
seaman. OF course, this ultimately
gets back to tar, tarpaulin being
tarred "palling," or covering lthe
same word as "pall").

Whom to Serve.

The question of who is served first
is a somewhat disputed one. A
should be served before them. but
when she is younger 1t is more courte-
GUS to serve the guests first. The Idea
of serving hostess first Is that where
elaborate dishes are passed it is bet
ter for her to take the initiative In
helping herself, and also that she may
observe that all about the dish is cor
rect, but in general entertaining 1t is
better to have the women guests
served before the hostess.
