wHAT oJHNsON HAs DONE.

Here Is a Democratic Governor Tn a State sternly Republican. He is con fronted by Legislature that in poll tics Is overwh elmingly hostile to him. All the rest of the State administra- tion Is Republican; he is alone. Yet through this hostile Legislature and with these hostile colleagues he con- triyes to pass more radical laws than exist in any other State, except the nc fiedged Oklahoma How does he achieve these things?" Charles Edward Russell asks this question in the April Everybody's.
 "As an example we may take the 2-cent fare bill. That was Governor Johnson's personal property, that idea.
 The Minnesota Editorial Association invited him to It's annual meeting. ex- pecting him, I think, to make the usual address of flubdub and platitude. In- stead he exploded the 2-cent bomb. and urged that an end be put to the giving of free passes. Then he talked the same doctrine to a Commercial Tray elers' Association. The Legislature met. and In his message (which was a collection of round shot) he asked for a law putting his ideas into force. Then he had such a law drawn up, in- troduced, and finally passed

 He asked for a rational revision of the law taxing mortgages. He got 1t.
 He desired to strike at the Cordage Trust by so amending the existing law that the product of the State twine plant in the State penitentIary might be sold elsewhere instead of only in Minnesota. He got the amendment.
 He took up the matter of insur- anee in which he had always been greatly interested. for he was the orig inator and chairman of the confer ence of State Governors at Chicago in 1905. from which came the memorable recommendations of the Committee of Fifteen" He desired to have the chief features of those recommendations en- acted in Minnesota. So the Legisla- ture enacted them.

 "Strong-arm men" form the acknowl- edged speciality of two resorts in close proximity in Twenty eighth Street on the West Side.

Charges for these necessities have grown greater each year. and the orange growers there are in state of rebellion.

 .'In fact a group of California orange growers has already sent an expert into the orange country of this part of Texas. who. after a careful soil survey and thorough investigation of the conditions. has made favorable report. The fact that orange lands in California bring from s1.000 to $2.- 900 an acre, while Texas orange lands. according to this expert. equally good. bring from s30 to s60 an acre, offers a possibility for the small grower to get in on the ground floor. The Texas lands too are nearly 1000 miles nearer the market. and transportation by wa ter is possible.
 Although a great many Texas far mers are putting few acres In oranges. the number would be greater if they realized the possibilities. These men are growing vegetables between the young orange trees and making. a living, and in few years will demon- strate a new industry.

A City Pounded by Noah.

In Harper's for April, H. w. Nevison tells of his visit to the ancient city of Erivani in the Caucasus-near Mt Ararat--one of the cities said to be founded by Noah.
 "Erivan itself gathers up the post diluvian history of the land. for it was one of the two or three cities in this neighborhood founded by Noah, and 1t is still celebrated for its Vint- age. Many intermediate centuries have been lost to man, but for the last thousand years 1t possesses a turbul- ent record of raids and counter raids, sieges. ,nvasions GEd massacres. For 1t has stood as the very centre of the Ararat highlands, round which Per- sians and Turks, Russians, Armenians, and Tartars have converged.
 All that is beautiful in the town is Persian still. In the midst behind the darkened alleys and caverns of the bazaar. staIl a Psrlsll mosI.s and minaret set with jeweled bricks that rleam like jewels. The place is great school of the Shiah form of Is- lam. and Is built in a great quadran- the sides, and a kind Of half mosque at each end. Like an open air the atre in shape, but gorgeousIy decorat- ed with paintings and mosaics of eigh- teenth century work.
 "In EriVan itself, as in most of these frantier towns and villages. the Tar tars have succeeded the Persians as the representatives of Asia and Islam. the rest of the town, separated from 1t by. an interval of vineyards and gar den fields From that vantage ground they have swept down again and again in the last two years for the slaugh- ter and loot of Armenians. Their last raid had occurred only a month before I arrived, and it was thought unsafe for a Christian to be seen in the streets. But they probably regarded me as too harmless to be religious, for they let me wander as I pleased among their houses and to the very top of their hill.
 "Only in descending from this Tar tar quarter of Erivan did I get my one sight of Ararat All day 1t had been hidden in snow and tempest, but just after sunset I saw a zone of purple among the clouds, which was the sol i'd mountain. For time the base and top remained hidden, but gradually the summit cleared. and, and the vast cone stood visible there, alone and gray above the world. Then for few sec- onds it took the fading flush of sum set, and the snows glowed with rosy crimson. Darkness drew in, and again it vanished in the whirling storms that have beaten upon 1t all these years-the great mountain which dom mated the history and imagination of young mankind"

A BIG ARMY POST
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE AT
 FORT SAM HOUSTON.
1t VIII Be Transformed From Regi- mental to . Brigade Post And Many Buildings Will Be
 Erected.

San Antonio, Texas. March 2I-- (SpeciaD D-Fort Sam Houston of San Antonio is being transformed from a regimental into a brigade post, and when the work now under way is com pleted, will be the largest army post in the United States.
 This post has had the most re- markable development. In 1899 1t consisted of 100 buildings of cheap construction, which cost S546,722.33. It now consists of 1S3 buildings which with walks, roads, sewer system, etc., cost $1.S45,s ,s25.31, sixty-four additional buildings have been authorized and are partially completed, which will cost $794,140. and twenty-four other buildings will be put up at cost of S290.S50, making a total of 271 build figures are furnished by the Quarter master Generals Department and are official.
 Fort Sam Houston covers 5S5 ana one half acres. and occupies a com manding site overlooking this city. It Is considered the most desirable station in the army owing to the fact that the climate here Is delightful both winter and summer. It is customary for the war department to send regt- ments returning from the Philippines here to recuperate. because conditions are so pleasant.
 There has never been any friction between the citizens of San Antonio and the private soldiers, who are not discriminated against in any way in this city. Many of the private soluIers indeed on the expiration of their terms find work here and become citizens of San Antonio, the majority of the employees of the street railway com pany here are ex-soldiers.
 The officers quarters at Fort Sam Houston are considered the best in the army, and the social life both of the post and the city. makes this station most attractive to the officers. In- deed so many officers have found wives in this city. that San Antonio Is jocularly known in military circles as the mother-in-iaw of the army"
 The existence of the post here is a great benefit to the city, and the citi- gems in appreciation of the benefits are now erecting by popular subscrip- tion a handsome chapel at the post, as 8 gift to the government The parades and reviews are a feature of life here. and are much frequented by the winter visitors that thronE the city at this season.

CACTUS FOR STOCK
DEMoNsTRArED BY EXPERT TO RE
 VALUABLE.
Cattle Raiser Declares That Use Of Prtelxiy Pears in Food VIII Re- duce Greatly the Price
 nf n@ef

san Antonio. Texas. March 21.-- Especial. )--cactus which grows so luxuriantly in Southwest Texas has been demonstrated by pr. David Grif- filth of the United States Department of Agriculture, to be a most valuable product for stock feeding.
 For good many years the cattle men of Southwest Texas have, when grass failed, fed the variety of cactus known as prickiy pear to their cat tie. but this was only done sporadical- ly. It remained for pr. Griffith to es- tablish an experimental farm near this city, and demonstrate scientifically the value of prickly pear as roughage. He declares after three years of experi- ence that the priclSly pear is as good per acre as sorghum, hay or any other forage crop. It Is. however, a rough age and not the main feed and to be effective must be used in connection with grain or cottonseed meal.
 Chemical analysis show that the prickly pear contains eighty-three per cent water, being as juicy as the watermelon, and that 1t has a little more protein and other nutritive ele- ments as hay and other forage crops. Dr. Griffith proved on his farm here that he could feed seventy-nve head of dairy cattle roughage from seventy five acres of prickly pear. He culti- vated the prickly pear as a crop and found 1t hardy and prolific. In the cultivation it was necessary merely to plough the ground and lay the leaves flat along the furrows. These leaves curl up like a cup catching rain and dew. and send out roots from the bot tom. Shoots sprout almost at once and the plant grows rapidly.
 By using prickly pear and cottonseed meal, Dr. Griffith maintains he can fatten steers for the market at three and one-half cents per pound. It is known fact that Kansas cattle rais- CTS make money on steers fattened at cost of five cents per pound.
 Furthermore Dr. Griffith points out that the custom prevailing in Texas of sending cattle to Oklahoma in the spring to be fattened will soon be i'm possible because the cattle ranges are being put into farms, and the re- stricted range left will be exhausted in a few years. He believes that the prickly pears offer better, easier and moro profitable method of fattening for the market. He burns the stick CTS on the pear with a burner, and then the cattle eat it with great avid ity.
 He believes the time will come when every farmer will raise crop of prick ly pear just as he does crop of corn.

members 1t is said, can be hired to perpetrate almost any crime in the cal endar, and numerous smaller ones which are not so desperate.
 Outside of these particular gangs there are many individual criminals "open for hire" by politicians or men In whom they have confidence. to do work singlehanded. and with whom ne- gotiations can be conducted directly.
 The majority of these are petty thieves and thugs from the West. who to the number of 5000, 1t is estimated. have invaded this city since the inaug- uration of Commissioner Bingham at Police Headquarters.
 Women are Agents.
 In the case of many criminals who. 1t is said, can be hired to perpetrate deeds of violence, women are used as intermediates. Acquaintance with any of these women will lead to the intro duction to certain resorts in which thieves and thugs congregate. Once therein, properly sponsored. the would be employed, 1t is said, has merely to mention the nature of the deed ho re- quires done and if the price he is will ing to pay is satisfactory, he is likely to have several volunteers.
 One clas of crime appears to be un- purchasable in the New York market.

 Where are the 'yeggmen?' George Dougherty, local manager of the Pink erton agency, which keeps close track of the movements of these criminals, was asked.
 q do not believe you will find dozen of known 'yeggmen' in New York;" re- piled Dougherty. This is the one class of criminals of which the city is prac- tically free"
 Slight introduction beyond a display of money is needed in many of the re- sorts to secure recruits for simple little matters, such as having an enemy beat en up or plundered. The more risky crimes require the services of the head of the resort or some go-between whom the criminals can trust but suggestion of small job to be done" meets with quick sympathy from individual mem- bers of the gangs to be met with in the "back rooms" or even at the open bar.
 In some places women are the active
