managers call to mind an Incident in
the life Of Malibran. 1t was in 1929,
when Malibran returned to England
from New York aud made her debut
at Birmingham at the music festival
as Malihran Garcia. Miss Patton had
already become a favorite there and
was allowed to choose her own songs
and sing as many as she pleased,
whereas Malibran was compelled to
sing only what was assigned to her.
Garcia bore the indignity with such
patience as she could command until
one morning she saw the announce
ment that Miss Patton would sing six
songs that evening and that she
would sing but two. Then it was
that. realizing that much Of her sue
cess for the season in England depend

program. she stormed the directors.
In vain the directors endeavered to
avoid receiving her. but she made
short work Of ceremony. and while
they were framing an excuse to pacify
her she broke in upon them in a mag
nifcent rage. In jiffy she asked the
chairman:
''Sir. have you sanctioned this pro-

affirmative, she sailed along further.

A Chance For the Convict.

Omaha Bee.
common cause Of complaint on the
part OF tho convict has been that on his
release from imprisonment every mans
hand was against him and no had no re-
course but continuation in a life Of crime.
It is. therefore, encouraging to read in the
occasional account Of some prisoners res
toration to freedom such comment as He
will DO given employment in his home
town"
The prisoner who has fulfilled his SEN
tence is in law considered to have ex-
patiated his offense, and undoubtedly
should be given chance. The too prev
alent custom has been not only TO give
him no change, but even to put stumbling
blocks in his way. This disposition OF the
oversevere has prompted sociologists TO
establish workshops where ex-convicts
might employ their faculties for craft
manship under influences peculiarly be-
nign. Such demonstration Of tho posi-
bilities of complete reformation may have
had their share in a change of attitude
at large. At any rate, there is coming TO
be manifested a more generous attitude
concerning the convict, who in many
cases is likely 10 give theeworld just such
treatment as it accords to him.

JOHN A. JOHNSON.
BY EDWIN A..NYE.
e was of the Lincoln type.

He was of the Lincoln type.
Much has been written about the
late Governor John A. johnson of Min
nesota, but not too much. because
Here was a man whose entire ca
reer as boy and man safely can be
held up as a stimulus and an inspira-
ton to American youth. His was not
a mere money success.
Physically he was much like Lincoln
"a face with a network Of lines, put
there early by the vicissitudes Of hun
ger. deprivation and shame. Like Lin
coin, he was tall-tall enough to be
above the Tags Of political life. And,
like Lincoln, be was ungainly and
walked with a sort Of awkward sham
bic.
And there were in the story of the
boy johnson all the hardships and sor-
did surroundings Of the young Lin
coin
Here was a boy whose father was
the town drunkard. Deserted by the
husband. his mother took I'm wasting
aud John went after these washings
and delivered them in his little red
wagon. At thirteen years Of age he
left school and went to work TO help
support the family.
In these few sentences is condensed
a world Of poverty and lack.
Nevertheless. mt the age OF fifteen he
made the mother sell her washtubs.
and at twenty three he was the editor
and half owner Of a leading weekly
newspaper.
Then this youthful editor. the son
Of Gustav and Caroline johnson. Swed-
lsh immigrants, went steadily up in
the esteem OF the people. Hardship
and privation. disgrace and worry, had
made of him an honest, sincere, manly
man.
Nominated for governor. his oppo-
nent spread the story that his father
had died in the poorhouse. which he
did. victim Of alcoholic mania.
Like Lincoln when Douglas tainted
him with his early obscurity. johnson
made no answer, But the full story
came out. and it elected johnson.
Becoming governor. be took up ev-
cry question presented to him. careful
" figured out what was the right thing
TO do and did II. He was careful, hon
est. firm.
That is why in a state strongly OPP
posed to him he was twice reelected
No man ever got nearer the hearts Of
the Minnesota people.

There through summer and winter, he has slept
a bed of boughs, done much of his work as
an artist received and entertained his friends
and breathed the pure air which has brought him
back 10 health. lie climbs up the tree by means
of ladder when he wishes, but he has cliff
jewellers swing by which visitors can be hosted
aloft by rope and pulley. Camp Aloft' would
be easy of access to a flying machine. BY living
in tree above the hustle and turmoil of ordi-
nary life, Mr.. Sternberger gained fifty pounds
the first six months and his weight in three
years has gone up from one hundred to two
hundred pounds.
Those fat folk in Wilmington and other
cities who have been taking cold baths, cut
ting out" candy, doing all sorts of exercises and
stunts" and practicing misery in general, will not
take to tree top life for that would add to their
weight, but on the principle followed by Mr..
Sternberger they might try living i'll cyclone eel
lars in the hope that their surplus flesh would
vanish
Mr. Sternberger believes that tree top life,
however is the best remedy for consumption.
There are many advantages in such a life. A
person living in the top of tree should have
elevatng thoughts. lie could escape canvassers,
door bell ringers, those who get the wrong num-
Der The tree lords might for time escape the
severe exactions of the land lords, although the
latter would soon find some way in which to get
all that was. coming to them and little more.
