g planter from one Of the upper par

Johnson. He had never been. forty
miles from the settlement In his life
ard was barely able to read and write,
but he was naturally a sort Of Jack of
all trades, and somehow or other he
acquired a tremendous reputation for
Sagacity.

the country folks Doc johnson was
pretty certain to be called in to decide
Il. and as he would rather have died
ulan to have admitted ignorance on
INV subject some Of his statements of
facr were amazing in the extreme.
One day a farmer in the vicinity
received letter from his son, who had
moved up to Iowa, saying, among 9TH

ing bad and the country was being
overrun by immigrants. The last word
s-1mped the old man, and after puz-
cling in vain over its meaning he hap
pened to see Doc and called him in.
Johnson knew from the peculiar
~Rrmth Of his greeting that he was
gong to be asked to solve some knotty
problem and at once assumed the
wtsest air.
DOC said the farmer, pointing to
the mysterious passage in the letter,
what In thunder does that boy mean
