history.
AS all New York united to do
honor to DR.. Cook, so Barcelona.
headed by its king and queen,
honored Columbus.
The crowds in New York today
saw DR.. Cook wearing rich
clothes of the latest continental
cut. They had been ordered for
him by royal command of the
king of Denmark.
So Columbus, entering Barcelo-
ma, wore garments made for him
by order of King John of Portu-
gal, whose shores he first touch
ed before reaching his own port.
Barcelona didn't have two Co
lumbuses as New York has two
north pole discoveries. Yet the
remarkable parallel still holds,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 21.-
-"By far the best medicine that
ever came out of a drug store"
This is the way Frederick b.
Lynch, once described John Al
bert Johnson, governor of Mime
sofa. He referred to Johnson's
early employment in drug store
at st. Peter, Mimi, and his sub
sequent achievements for the peo-
pie of his state.
1t was just preceding the ma
tional convention last year that
Governor Johnson came most
prominently into view. There was
q strong movement for his nomi-
nation on the democratic ticket
for the presidency. He was thrice
elected governor of his state.
A Versatile Man.
Johnson served as clerk in a
drug store, auditor for a lumber
company, editor of country
newspaper state senator, and,
finally, governor. He rose from
the most abject and cruel poverty.
being obliged to leave school In
his twelfth year and go to work
so as TO keep his mother from con-
tinuing the labor of taking In
washing to support the family.
Optimistic and Faithful.
But through it all he preserved
his optimism and his faith in hui
man nature. His character was a
series of delightful contrasts. He
was conservative in his personal
beliefs and tastes, disliking osten-
tation or display and decrying
anything like personal advertise
ment.
Yet, so simple was he in his
views, that, when he was intro
duced to Speaker Cannon one day
in Washington while the house
was in session, he took it as a
matter of course that he should sit
on the speakers desk with his
back to all the members because
there was no extra chair for him.
Beloved Of the People.
He was beloved by all the peo-
pie of Minnesota for having given
them a 2-cent railroad passenger

OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 21.-
The first known Chinese aviator
in America to construct an airship

ing to attempt a flight with an
aeroplane of his own construction
in the Piedmont hills within a
few days. The aeroplane has Just
been completed and the engines

Ierick Cook?
You'll remember that Pinzon
was master of one of Columbus
boats. On the way home, with
news of the discovery, great
storm arose. Columbus, fearing
that his boat would be wrecked,
took copies of his records and
iplaced them in barrel and threw
THE barrel into the water, prom
Using that If the finder would
take the papers to the court of
King Ferdinand the king would
give him 1000 ducats.
Pinzon, seeing that Columbus
boat was in distress, did not stand
by to aid him, but drew away as
rapidly as he could and headed for
Spain with the news of the discov-
cry. But the winds changed ia
yorites. Pinzon was blown out
of his course and Columbus drew
into Spanish port with his
news two days before Pinzon.
Pinzon, charged with trying to
|outwit his leader and teacher,
died shortly of chagrin, branded
as a deserter.
This is not to call either claim
ant to polar honors modern
Pinzon. But radical partisans
can be found who would see in
the race between Cook and Peary,
five days apart for telegraph
wire, the story repeated of Pin
IONS dash to claim honors that
belonged to another.

rate and for having delivered the
farmers from the extortions of the
Irvine trust. He was one of the
greatest fighters ever known when
he believed the public was being
victimized, but he could cast from
his mind all thoughts of the SER
ious side of life when the umpire's
"play ball" rang up to the grand
stand.
Baseball Fan.
He was distinctly a baseball
crank" Whenever the st. Paul
team played at home the governor
was on the job at the stand,
cracking peanuts and roofing"
for the team like mad. II, per-
chance, some matter of state kept
him from the game, his private
secretary knew it was his business
to get the score by telephone and
communicate it to the governor as
soon as the last "out" had been
called.
In the winter he would slip off
from his office, his skates under
his arm, and skim across the Ice
for hours at a time. When he
was at Old Point, VT, he got INTO
the water without anyone being
aware who he was. But he could
not resist the temptation to turn 8
back somersault off the spring
board into the waves, and this at
tracted so much attention that
pretty soon his identity was gen.
orally known.
Thought Was Healthy.
Johnson's love of baseball,
skating and swimming explained
his healthy mode of thought and
his calm bright outlook on life.
What he cherished i'm his heart as
his idea of true greatness is shown
by the following remark he once
made to a friend,
"As a life work I had rather
be able to provide for the needs Of
family, enjoy the fellowship of
good friends and good books and
write one book that would be read
a hundred years from now than -
be able to amass all the money In
the world"

COLLEGE MEN REINsTATED.
Storke Allowed to Join Pittsburg With
 out Fine-Other Decision.

Cincinnati May 1S.-The application of Player Alan H. Storke, of the Pits burg National league club for re-instate- ment was granted without the infliction of any penalty by the National Baseball commission today. The player did not report to this club this spring, hav- ing been given permission to finish his studies at a law school by the Pittsburg management.

NEGRO MEETS AWFUL END

Bessemer, May -(Special)-The con- tract for paving improvements to be done by the city of Bessemer on Nineteenth street was let tonight to P. H. O'Brien & Go MT. OBrien's bid was $1 .64 per square yard for paying and S22.5O for changing in- brick There was heated argument be- tween the council and the property own CTS as to whether bitulithic or Vitrified brick should be used. James Trotter, representing the majority of the prop erty owners said:
 .'I do not see why the council should permit the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company to say what material they shall use on their property when the same privilege Is denied the bona 1de property owners. I insist that the council shall not put a pavement on the streets at cost of S4 cents more per square yard that the property owners do not want, and that the council allow the men who pay for the improvement to say what material shall be used'
 After much wrangling to no purpose the council unanimously selected vitritied brick as the material to be used, and awarded the contract to P H. O'Brien & Go.
 Alderman Huey attempted to bring up the Second ward matter, but was ruled out of order by President Bdmundson
