JOHNSON WILL
AID K'CUMBER
JUNIOR SENATOR WILL SUPPORT
HIS COLLEAGUE FOR RE-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OUT OF FIGHT.

Washington, ID. c., July 19-SenatoI
Martin N. Johnson of North Dakota
has declared his allegiance to the
Mckenzie machine in that state, and
will hereafter operate with It. He has
pledged himself to support Senator p
j. McCumber in Mr.. McCumber's cam
lpaign to succeed himself and the
chances are that Mr.. Johnson will ap-
pear on the stump in behalf of his
colleague.
This became known today as a re-
suit of an announcement made by the
senator relative to the appointment OF
Thomas DISCARD to be register of the
Minot landoffice to succeed l.. d. Nc
Gahan, who was aske to resign. Ols-
CARDS nomination was sent to the
senate today.
A statement was issued by the two
senators that DISCARD had been named
primarily on the recommendation of
Mr.. Johnson, but that he had also
been indorsed by Mr.. McCumber. II
was further pointed out that in his
candidacy for the senate Johnson
made only one promise, and that was
20 secure a job for DISCARD.
Another interesting announcement
in the statement was that henceforth
the two North Dakota senators will
work in harmony on all matters of
patronage.
One of the objects of Alexander
McKenzie's recent visit to Washing
ton was to tie up Senator Johnson to
the organization.

While Dorothy was looking earnest

Scarecrow, she was surprised to see
one of the eyes slowly wink at her.

They walked back to the road. Dor

Scarecrow.
There were no fences at all by the
roadside now. and the land was rough
and untitled. Towards evening they
came to great forest, where the trees
grew SO big and close together that
their branches met over the road of
yellow brick. 1t was almost dark un-
der the trees. for the branches shut
out the daylight; but the travellers did
not stop, and went on into the forest.

swept around us and kept us for three
weeks. We got no further than tho
eighty-fourth degree. Then began a
heavy walk toward Helbergsland and
another three weeks of fog. When that

west to Ringnesland, where we found
open water and tower-high screw ice,
which stopped our way eastward.

ers at Lancaster Sound. We followed
the drift ice to the south.
We were stopped by pack ice in
Wellington channel, which was impas-
sable either by boat or sledge.
Here was lots of game, but we
did not dare shoot it. We had only
taken 100 bullets to the pole, and now
only fifteen were left. We went into
Jones Sound after walrus and bears
and found open. calm water. We met
polar wolves, with which some of our
dogs made friends and ran away.

storms often ragged over our heads. At

fered much hunger during this period.
One night bear came and stole our
food. We had many fights with musk

weapon against them was the lassoo'.''

ANY one would know that" said
Dorothy
Certainly; that is why | know it,"
returned the Scarecrow. "If it re-
quired brains to figure it out, never
should have said it."
After an hour or so the light faded
away, and they found themselves
stumbling along in the darkness. Dor
othy could not see at all, but Toto
could, for some dogs see very well in
the dark; and the Scarecrow de-
clared he could see as well as by day.
So she took hold of his arm and man

said, you must tell me; for it is very

So the Scarecrow led her through
the trees until they reached the cot

She lay down at once, and with Toto
beside her soon fell into sound sleep.
The Scarecrow, who was never tired,
stood up in another corner and waited
patiently until morning came.
