81 have been to so many unidenti-
fed graves the poor mother added,
that hope has nearly failed nae. But
tell me, have you, had you, any clue,
or were there any circumstances that
would-sid me to know ?"
Ny mother, greatly touched, could
hardly summon heart to tell her; but
Aunt Lena interposed. "Have you
reason to think that your son carried
a plain silver watch, marked inside
the case with the initials ]. W. 7" she
asked.
"Yes, yesl" cried our visitor, eager.
ly. "The school watch gave him on
his sixteenth birthday Those were
his initials-Jsrome Warrenton.
In our growing excitement We were
now all on our feet, gathering about
her.
"And did he wear on his little fn-
ger signet ring, with a coronst and
crossed spears?" my aunt asked
quickly.
"Oh, it was bel 1t was he'll Mrs.
Warrenton cried aloud. That is the
crest of my own family, she explain
ed. "oh my poor bOyI Aud have
you the watch and the ringP And
his grave, is it far to gO2"
Too much affected to reply, my
mother rose silently and brought
forth those sad msmentoes of the ter
rible past; and then we turned away
instinctively from grief too sacred
for the eyes Of strangers.
A little later, just as the sun was
setting, my sister and l led the way
to the little mound under the Msgno'
las, my mother holding our visitors
hand. Nor had the bouquets of pan.
sizes, placed there two days before, as
yet wholly withered. 1t was when,
through her tears, her eyes fell on
these flowers that the last traces Of
Mrs. Warrenton's reserve vanished.
"And you have done this-these
flowers my sonI For my poor
dead boyP' She cried implusiVely,
and threw her arms about my mothers
neck.
In truth, common sorrow makes
sisters of US all; and it was thus, at
last, that "the Yankees grave was
Unidentified.
Mrs. Warrenton remained with US
for nearly a fortnight, and at the end
of her visit changed her first intention
Of having her sons remains removed
and reinterred in the North.
"If l were to do that, dear friends,
she said to us, II should feel that l
was breaking this dear new bond Of
friendship which. born Of common
sorrow, has grown up between us.
Here, where heaven moved our hearts
to lay flowers on his grave-here let
him rest; and I, if you will permit me,
shall come to his grave.
And every spring, since that first
sad pilgrimage to US, Mrs. WarrentOn
journeys southwark to pass a few
weeks at Springbank, and be near the
grave Of her son on Memorial day.

Strike Settled Without Riots.

The way Governor Johnson settled
strike last summer shows his power
as a conservative official. The miners
in the Mesaba range went out and
there was imminent peril of violence.
Instead of sending his state militia to
the scene Governor johnson himself
went alone. He talked with the strike
leaders and with the employers. He
visited the strikers and heard their
grievances. He gave them good adj
vice. II they remained orderly, he said,
no troops would be sent. but If they
became violent he would be forced to
quell their violence with soldiers. The
strike was settled without riots.
Some persons take pleasure I'm COM
pairing John johnson with Abraham
Lincoln. This Is due to the fact that
both men had immediate ancestors OF
the kind that, as rule. do not pro-
duce society swells. Johnson seems
to have much Of the homely honesty
Of Lincoln and more dignity than
Honest Abe" Whatever he may turn
out to be In the future, we must go
back to the original thesis and assert
that II johnson had been candidate
for head sheik Of Fifth avenues Four
Hundred or for chief chimpanzee of
the Newport set that lunatic's circular
would have defeated him. But he was
sunning merely for the governorship

;ent people Of an American common

Or. Latson says: "A correct walk
is the rarest accomplishment can
think OF. Handsome faces are rare.
good figures are much more rare; but
as to gait and carriage, out of 500 we
shall find 30 or 40 handsome faces,
and perhaps dozen good figures. But
certainly in that number we shall
rarely find more than one or two peo-
pie who walk properly"

He Made Good.

Johnson also had the moral and men,

the-spot with his new Job. He had
he took hold of the st. Peter Herald
but he made good. He made good
also as governor of Minnesota. Do
you want proof? Then read the cleo
ton returns of 1906. Normally the
Republican candidate should have won
by about 10000 majority. AS a mat
ter of fact Johnson won by 10000 ma
jority. Somebody asked him how he
did 1t.
81 only tried to make good" replied
Johnson.
No boomerang was thrown in the
second campaign. II Johnson had not
made good In his two years term as
governor he would have been sent
back to the St Peter Herald Office.
AS 1t Is. he now stands In the glare of
the presidential limelight. The wash
erwoman circular promulgated by the
unidentified asylum inmate made him
governor, but as governor he made
good himself. Those years of struggle,
Of self effacement, Of mother love and
brotherly devotion In st. Peter gave
him the stam..-a ~ ,Iake good. WEN.
some one asked him what he consid-
cred the most important result Of his
administration as governor he replied:
Law enforcement. We have brought
about conditions by which the state
officers obey the law themselves and
enforce It."
But Governor Johnson did not stop
at enforcement Of the laws on the
statute books. BY his influence he
brought about the enactment of new
laws to meet conditions. One thing he
did was to have the legislature give
him board of tax equalizers. John
son appointed three Of the best men In
the state. Under the law this board
had only advisory powers. The gov
ernor used his discretion. The steel
trust has immense mines In northern
Minnesota. These mines were taxed
on valuation of $3S,0OO.000 when
Johnson took Office. Now they are tax
ed on n valuation Of $194. ZOO. 900, and
the poor taxpayer feels better. The
electric railways uniting st. Paul and
Minneapolis are paying twice as much
taxes as they paid before the advent
of Johnson. Tax dodgers have been
wincing since Johnson became gov
ernor.

little sisters died, and John Johnson
was In debt to the undertaken. The
boy studied hard while working In the
drug store. The little public library
was In the same block. He read many
books from the library, being chiefly
Interested In history. Meanwhile he
studied pharmacy, too, and eventually
he became registered pharmacist.
Real Journalist With a Real Job.
After nine years In the drug store
John Johnson became journalist In
the cities journalist is sometimes de-
scribed as newspaper man out Of a
job. In st. Peter John Johnson was q
real journalist with a real Job, pay
for which friends who believed in
him had put up the money. Johnson
had paid off the undertaken. He had
bought In the two room family home
stead, which was about to be sold for
taxes, and he had added other rooms
and improvements.
So this was the story discovered by
the St Paul reporter. 1t was so mag
nifcently true that American Mime
sofa arose gloriously to the occasion.
President Roosevelt carried the al
ways Republican state of Minnesota
by majority of 161, 462 "a hun

The country editor closed down his
desk at st. Peter, probably saying to
Henry Essler: 'T'll be back in two
years. Try to keep the subscribers in
line, and don't let the ads. get away
from you. Keep the jobwork going"
Then he went to work at his new
job In st. Paul, his Office being In Min

We reproduce the above testimony
at this time to show to the Democrats
whom President Smith is undertaking
thus to drive. the kind of man that he
is, and TO ask If they can reconcile his
testimony 80 delivered with his claims
and pretensions of being man Of God.
We put the question squarely mp to
them, Arc they under any obligations
whatever to consider such person as
this man Of God, OF to pay the least
regard TO the "counsel' or commands
Of man who thus distinctly and en-
phatically puts himself in the criminal
class, so far as the civil law is con.
cerned, and i'll the class of the atheist
and blasphemer, so far as the theologi-
cal law is binding upon mankind? Why

posed upon the properties and interests
best able to bear the burden, many Of
which arc not now reached at all by the
tax gathorers. And the damaging par
tisanship between tho State and the
counties, under which the State suffers
such serious loss and under which the
State is made an oppressor of local prop
erty holders, would be absolutely done
away with. If the State could some day
wake up TO the very serious disadvan-
tages which it is laboring under through
the adoption of its antiquated system
Of taxation, which is about the most
fossilized that could be devised, and
should seek TO free itself from that relic
of former days and former conditions
which have now been entirely outgrown,
we would favor the assemblagc OF a
new Constitutional convention for the
purpose of wiping out a whole lot of
the rubbish that is at present in the
State Constitution. clarifying the rest of
II, and giving us a system of taxation
under which large masses of valuable
interests would not escape taxation as
now, and under which the visible prop.
erty of the State would obtain much
needed relief from the burdens now i'm
posed by taxation upon 1T.
