Governor johnson left an estate
valued at $4,000. Not much for a
man of his ability and his position.
Measured as Americans are prone to
measure success. by the dollar, he
was a failure. But he left to his
family a name they can reverence,
above all riches; to his state an ex-
ample OF honesty, integrity and pa
triotism. and to the nation which his
life honored. and which honors him,
the proof that a clean life, cleanly
and unselfishly lived, is still held In
the nations heart above all earthly
riches.

Unconscious Influence.

A little boy, who had been somewba
spoiled at home, began to attend a kin
dergarten school. After few DAYS hi
mother noted with pleasure change il
his manners, an increasing gentleness il
speech and behavior. She quietly re-
marked one day:
Miss Brown has been teaching yor
politeness, I see"
Why, mother" said the child" she
never says word about politeness."
She doesn't. I'm surprised"
No, she doesn't say a word. She inst
walks around. But we feel as polite
as anything
One of the most striking pec1lIiarities
of personal influence is that it is often
unconscious. Not when you are irving
to make good impression, to set a good
example, to say word that should he
said in the best way and to fit the an
dlence, are You most successful in ac-
comprising your purpose. The influence
that emanates from you when Won are
SIMPLY going about your work without
thought beyond the task of the hour
when you are off guard and are merely
your inner life by outward acts
as automatically as the heart sends the
blood to the head, hands and feet is the
influence that helps or hurts in vour
none classroom or business office.

Garnishinq Dishes.

Have you ever stopped to wonder how

much better the plainest food tastes The
SHINING linen and silver the sprig of
green on shining meat platter and the
neat rice mold with tomato sauce ali
serve to transform the pickup wash-dav
meal
Garnishing is more a question of taste
and time than money. Through most of
the year few leaves picked from sbrub
or tree and licked in on the edges of p
platter of meat or fruit enhance the an

months parsley can easily be raised in

carrots, beets, cucumbers. lemons in
cilces or sections, hard-boiled eggs and
the tiny yellow tomatoes all lend them
selves to garnishing.
Do not think such garnishing is I'M
necessary for the simple family meal: If
