He Had Another Name For It.

J. F. Johnson. the new United States
Senator from Alabama. Is an ardent ag-
riculturist. One day, shortly after re-
firing from the governorship and re-
turning to his home in Birmingham, he
donned his overalls and went to work
in the garden.
A society lady, a newcomer. entered
the yard to call on Mrs Johnston. Her
ring at the door not being answered.
she walked into the garden.
"How long have you worked for the
Johnstons?" she inquired OF the man
she found there.
"a good many years. madam"
DO they pay you well?"
"About all I get out of 1t Is my
clothes and my keep"
why, then. come and work for me,
she said. "IIl do that and pay you so
much month besides"
Il thank you, madam" he replied.
"but I signed up with Mrs. Johnston
for life."

sheets were in his possession, al
though they had not seen him receive
them. the officers went to Whites
home. placed him under arrest and
searched the house.
In the meantime Lucius A. White.
having seen his plan fall miserably
and himself a prisoner. gave the au-
thorities complete confession. While
in Brazil he and his brother had con-
ceived the idea Of manufacturing In
the United States a large issue OF Bra
lillian currency and returning to that
country TO float 1t. Lucius admitted
that he was the originator OF the idea.
Lucius A. White. after pleading
guilty, was taken to Texas as wit
ness against his brother. Lucius was
SO years old at this time and his
brother was a man of so. AS l have
said, the elder brother also had stood
in the relation of n father to the
younger man, and the scene In the
Waco courtroom when Lucius was
placed on the stand and told the story
that meant a penitentiary sentence for
his brother was a most affecting one.
II would rather suffer than have
Lucius suffer: he's only a boy to me-"
After the evidence was in and
Lucius was being led from the court.

him by the hand and with tears In his
eyes said:
"Good.by, Lucius. God bless you"

ana setled down 10 tne lie oi lex
as farmer.
In the early part OF the summer OF
1885 the United States district attor-
ney at st. Louis received an anonym-
Gus letter stating that a certain en-
craving house OF that city was pre-
pairing plates from which were to be en-
graved a large number OF slips which
had the appearance OF being imIta-
tions Of the currency OF the Empire OF
Brazil.
The letter In question pointed out
that which seemed to be a crime in
process of execution. and. anonymous

ignored. II was turned over to me.
and I went to work on the case.
found the manager and was
informed by him that he believed
his firm did have n contract
TO engravc plates for and print
some Brazilian matter: but he
claimed to be ignorant of the iden.
tity OF the party with whom the con-
tract was made and OF the exact char
acter of the commodity contracted for.
| was told to return later and consult
with the official OF the concern who
had made the contract and who was
conversant with all the details. This
I did. This gentleman, after learning
who I was. told me that n man named
Lucius A. White had contracted with
the firm for a plate OF a cigar label"
to be used In the brazilian trade The
work was under way at that time.
With this information the brazilian
consul was called into consultation.
The appearance OF the plate was de.
scribed to him and he pronounced It a
| duplicate of the front OF the Brazilian
| 'Duzentos Milreis" note. or treas
ury note of the Empire CT Brazil rep
resenting 200 milreis. AS a milreis
OF Brazilian money was equal in value
to approximately 5i.6 cents OF United
States money each one of the labels"
would be worth in Brazil $1O9.20.

anu announcer lot tHe TeNeTse slue. i ne
spokesman for the engraving firm
claimed to take this as evidence that
the plate was to be used for the pur-
pose set forth by the man who had
made the contract. and in this claim
the engraver may have been honest.
Immediately came to the conclu-
sion that the men who were planning
to initiate the brazilian currency had
made a contract with one firm for the
front plate and impressions printed
from 1t and with another firm, prob
ably in another city, for the plate
| and Impressions of the reverse side.
From the engraving firm | learned
that White had reached st. Louis May
IS and had asked for a price on the
work he wanted done. He said he
was going to New York and would
return In a few weeks. He kept his
word and closed the negotiations for
the front plate. These negotiations
were under way two weeks before
they were finally closed. and after the
contract had been signed White dis
appeared.
II would have been an easy matter
at this time to have confiscated the

In the late COS the movement for n
Democratic government in the empire
OF Brazil had taken on great strength.
Stories OF the marvellous resources of
the country and of the unlimited pos
sibiiities for achieving power and
money were reaching the United
Estates. A political upheaval in a
country OF great natural wealth Is al
lays a tempting bait to soldiers OF
fortune the world over, and the ac-
counts OF Brazilian conditions that
reached southern Texas about this
time were not to be resisted by the
more adventurous. A party was made
up for Brazil. and In this party were
two brothers, Lucius A. and Joseph A.
White. Lucius was a mere lad in his
teens. while Joseph was nearly 20
years his senior and more a father to
the boy than a brother. Joseph was
married The Whites were the sons OF
Judge White. who settled in southern
Texas in 1889 and who was noted
lawyer and jurist of that section.
Judge White was a man who was held
in the highest esteem on account OF
his strict integrity and learning. and
his sons grew up respected in their
native state. Lucius had studied civil
engineering and was an engineer or no
meager ability. Joseph was farmer.
But in both the brothers there was n
strong spirit Of adventure. and after
listening to the stories of gold and
diamonds to be found and fortunes to
be made easily in rubber. coffee and
general agriculture. told by returned
Texans. the brothers decided to join
the party bound for the South Amer
ican empire. which finally landed at
Rio Janeiro.
