William E. Annis Oh the float OF the

and by those having charge OF tii''
interests of Mrs. Hams.
Frank G. Wild, Mrs. Hams attol-
ney, issued formal denial OF the
allegations made against his client.
insisting that Mrs. Hams had never
been guilty OF improper conduct with
Annis.
AS to the published story 10 the
effect that his client was trying TO
effect a reconciliation with her hus-
band and could testify in his beha!:
at the trial. Mr.. Wild was equally
positive. His client had never con
sidered reconciliation as possible.
he said.
Weldon C.. Percy, the first lawyer
called in to defend Captain Hams
and his brother refused to comment
on the various statements. In res
pect to the much exploited incident
of the automobile ride in which Cap
tain Hams took Annis just after his
return from the Philippines Mr.. Per
cy threw a new light.
THE captain said he. returned
with n conviction that all the gossip
connecting Annis and his wife was
absolutely without foundation. lie
studied upon way to speedily 81

he loved and decided that the best
way would be to openly invite Anhis
to dinner at the fort. He did this

with his wife. and after dinner. III"
four-Mrs. Hams. the captain and
Mr.. and Mrs Annis-went out togeth-
er on an automobile ride. Subse-
Quent to that. the captain discovered
the truth. The talk OF Mrs. Hams

her faculties at the time she signed

GOVERNOR JOHNSON OF M1nNEsorA.

for few years. He married Caroline
Haden, Swedish girl, also an immi-
grant. She was utterly alone in Amer
lea. The blacksmith installed her in a
two room house near St Peter. For a
few years the brawny arms of Gustaf
Johnson earned a living for the wife
and the little ones who came, John
being the first baby, born in 1861.
Then required an attack of the old
malady, the old disease, which in the
system of the village blacksmith de-
manded alcohol. The blacksmith be-
came drunkard. Like many others
Of his unfortunate class, he went
from bad to worse" Finally the local
authorities placed him in the poor
house, where after some years he died.
Mrs. johnson was left with six chill
dren to support. John was only twelve
years old, but he arose to the occa-
sion. He insisted upon quitting school
so that he might help. He got job in
a grocery store. A grocer's boy has no
snap as a job, but some Of them have
snap as individuals. John Johnson
they probably called him Johnny then
got $40 q month, which he turned
over to his mother. He found time to
deliver laundry" washed and ironed
by his mother, his splendid heroic
mother, and also to deliver papers on
the carriers route-the town paper.
After two years Of this grocer's boy
life he got job in the drug store at
slightly higher rate Of pay. From this
time on his mother quit taking in
washing. John supported the family.
In the years following three Of the
Little sisters died, and John johnson
