Barn Dancing a Fashionable Exercise.


Barn dancing is being turned into o
fashionable exercise. But don't think
barn dancing" means dancing in a
barn. 1t simply implies an old.
fashioned, vigorous square" dance.
Fencing has made many a woman
gracefully slender and developed her
wits as wei! as her arms, yet fencing
is not as much in vogue as 1t used to
be. The barn dance is the thing to
bring a fat girl down to the right pro
portions for the bolster case empire
gown. When half dozen girls get to-.
gether now II is likely they will fling
about with great v.gor in the barn
dance. But there Is one drawback.
Such dancing does not suit the way
most women wear their heir. Puffs
and curls strew the floor and such ex.
hibits are embarrassing.

A NATIONAL LOSS

The death of Governor johnson of
Minnesota removes one of the nations
foremost men. Born in 1918, his early
life was ceaseleSS struggle to supporf
his mother and the younger members of
the family. But this struggle developed
his latent abilities and fitted him for
the high honors that were to come to
him in his early manhood.
The chief points in his career have
been published often that the reading
public is thoroughly familiar with his
history. The Young people of today
should study the life and character of
Minncsota's dead governor. 1t will
prove Il neverfailing fountain of en-
couragement to them. There was no
difficulty in his youth that he did not
overcome and no obstacle to his success
that he did not remove by patient, earn
est, honest toll.
While his early life was one of toll
and privatiOn, his later days We're full
of hOnOrs. In 1894, he was nominated
by the democrats of his district for
state senator and WAS defeated at the
election IN 1896, he was again
nominated and was elected. His record
in the senate made him the democratic
candidate for governor of Minnesota in
1900. Although the state was over
whclmingly republican. he was elected
In 1904 and 1905, he WAS again elected
His record as governor made him i'm
Intensely popular in Minnesota and he
was prominently mentioned as the
democratic candidate for the presidency
This brought him before the people Of
the entire country and made him Il
national character He received hand
some vote in the Denver convention,
but failed to secure tho nomination.
That Governor Johnson would have
received greater honors had he lived
none can doubt. This is clearly shown
by the grief of Minnesota as she mourns
ut his bier. Nor is this grief confined
to the boundaries of his own state 1t
is nation wide. This grief is most
rloquently told in the following state
ment issued by President Taft on learn
ing of Governor Johns )n.i dsath:
1.-THE death of Governor johnson is a
great shock and fills me with personal
sorrow and with deep sympathy for
the people of Minnesota whose favoriic
son he certainly WAS. 1t has been my
good fortune to have the pleasantest
personal rel .tiJnS with the governor and

over his natural political opponents and
he made an able, efficient and most

president Of the school the work has
received great impetus. DR.. Waller is
planning to add courses in medicine
and law, which will be OF great advan-

have to 60 to Washington and other

branches.
The school owes its present standing
to the unaided efforts Of Maryland's

will surely come by their own efforts.
as both Baptist conventions at their
recent annual sessions voted to raise
more money next year for the univer-
sity. In speaking Of the school DR..
Waller said few days ago:
'.The university, which is named for
