BOY TOOK Him AT HIS WORD
He Thought This Book Was the BesF
Kind of an Instructor and
Entertainer.

A man who tolls in a downtown
building had just hired new Office
boy. The young man, in accordance
with the traditions about new brooms,
seemed eager to make himself useful
and tried to fill in his spare time by
strengthening up things around the Of
fee. This was something new around
that Office, but the boss bore it awhile
In silence, not wishing to discourage
ambition. After lunch one day he
came in to find that his desk had been
nicely cleaned, his papers neatly stack
ed, and everything set in order. He
restrained his evaporation and called
the boy over.
Now see here" he said, you need
MT try to keep busy all the time Just
stay within reach, that will be enough
for the present. How am l going to
know where anything is if you insist
on cleaning up my desk? Now don't
you touch it in the future. If you
can't find anything else to do, get
something and read"
I've read everything there is
around here" said the scared boy.
Then go out and get something
get book that will be instructive and
at the same time entertaining" said
the boss shortly.
The boy took him at his word and
returned with a piece of literature
with which he sat down in corner.
He did not stir again for hours, and
troubled himself no more about Of
fee disorders. His boss finally be-
came curious to know what it was
that made the youth SO suddenly OBJ
Hvious to the flight of time and the
pricks of ambition. He glanced over
the boys shoulder and read the title
of the book 1t was THE Life and
Battles of James J. Jeffries"

appeared at the jail. Rushing to the
cell occupied by her husband, she
kissed him.
The Hyde decision comes exactly
one year from the date that his trial
began here
An important point in the decision
was that the court said Judge Ralph
Latshaw's action in ordering Hyde
locked up during the progress of his
trial was improper and unjustified."
The court reviews how the state
showed the deaths close together of
Moss Hunton and Colonel Swope and
the epidemic of typhoid fever which
in two months brought down nine
persons.
These, the court says, were charged
to Hyde partly to support a showing
that the more Swope heirs died the
larger would be the share of Mrs.
Hyde, Colonel Swope's daughter, but
the court does not treat the proof
that Hyde had anything to do with
these misfortunes as conclusive.
The court points to the evidence
that Colonel Swope was eightytwo
years of age and that symptoms of
his last sickness would justify the
conclusion that he died from senile
debility or uraemic poisoning.
In the appeal the chief evidence
attacked was that of the Chicago and
Michigan Psychologists who examined
the viscera of the dead Swope

he would get we'll and again be a cam
didate for mayor of Cleveland, but
finally he saw his hope was futile and,
after bidding old friends and former
political associates farewell, he re-
signed himself to death.
II am so tired l wish l could sleep"
he murmured in his moments of con-
sciousness And finally the sleep came
but not until Mr. Johnson had suf-
fered much pain in the same cheerful
manner that marked his whole career.
Sunday when every moment was ex-
pected to be his last Mr.. Johnson
weakly asked that four letters which
he had dictated some days before be
brought to him. Propped up, he labori-
ously signed his name and then fell
back exhausted. These letters go to
four of his best friends-keepsakes
from the man who gave his life for his
hobby, three-cent fare.
That Mr.. Johnson sacrificed his life
for his principles is certain. He had
been ailing from cirrhosis of the liver
for years and was told by the physi-
clans that he must quit active work
for awhile and take treatment, but he
was in the midst Of his fight for three
cent fare and refused to stop. Finally,
beaten in his fifth fight for mayor, he
yielded to illness and went to New
York for treatment, but it was too late.
Cleveland people ride OF their street
cars for three cents, but they have lost
the man who did more for the common
people than any other citizen.

TOM |. JOHNSON DEAD;
GIVES LIFE FOR HOBBY
Four-Tlme Cleveland Mayor Succumbs
From Effect of Fight for
Three-Cent Fare.

Cleveland, Ohio - Tom L. John
son, former mayor of Cleveland
and known throughout the nation for
his fight for three-cent street car
fares, died here Monday night OF cir
rhosis of the liver. He had been Ill
for over two years but had been con-
fined to his bed only since March 10.
Mr.. Johnson was at one time multi
millionaire and, by his own confession,
monopolist But 1t is as the mayor
of Cleveland that he will be remem-
bered by the people of the United
States long after the other phases OF
his career are forgotten. He was
pronounced by Lincoln Steffens the
best mayor of the best-governed city
in the United States"
He had been so near death for five
days that frequently the physician
thought the end had come and twice
newspaper extras we're on the street
announcing his death. Then the rumor
was found to be false. Up to week
ago the former mayor had insisted that

Fighting Man.

1t Is mans nature to fight 1t is his
merit to fight for what he believes to
be right. Courage and bravery are
not achieved by hiring a lawyer A
man who is not willing to fight to the
death for the right or for his own is
not as good or complete man as one
who is is willing. But opinions about
this are not so important as the fact
that it is mans nature to fight, and
that neither resolutions nor legislation
nor provision to get over all kinds OF
trouble in any other way than fighting
will avail.-Ellwood Hendricks, in At.

Springfield, Ill.-The senate license

a personal encounter between Senator
Campbell S. Hearn, the aged and pic
turesque former Confederate soldier
from Quincy, and Representative
George H. Wilson, champion of the

combatants hail, caused the battle.
