Dr.. Samuel johnson
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwash"

This is the birthday of DR.. Samuel
johnson, who was the first of the
mighty Johnsons who had speckled
history and are even at this minute
congesting political tickets, the maya
zines and the sporting sections with
their achievements.
DIR. johnson was born in England
In 1903, and this was about as far
as his parents helped him along his
way He grew up with more patches
than advantages and struggled on
until the age of 20 in great poverty,
fitting himself for a literary life by
living on one meal day. When he
had learned to live on hope and an
occasional loaf of bread, he went to
London and begun to produce litera-
ture. There was at that time a ready
market in London for hogs, cattle,
tripe, fish, wool, butter and Var
mouth bloaters, but nobody had any
use for literature and Johnson lived
on yesterdays breakfast and tomor-
sow's prospects for many years, pro-
ducing novels and dictionaries on
piecework pay and Tearing to dodge
a bill collector or a constable with an
almost increditable dizziness. In 1852,
his merits were recognized by a pow
erful nobleman and he was granted a
pension which was equivalent to
writing best seller in these days.
Johnson lived thereafter in great

When the legislature of Texas
meets this winter hard fight is prom.
ised over an effort to enact a 2-cent
fare law in Texas. H. P. Jordan, of
Waco, has announced he is preparing
such a measure and all of the rail-
roads are lining up their forces to
combat the bill. Representatives of
railroads declare that if the act be-
comes a law, extensions now under
way here will be stopped and cause
great harm to the state industries. It
is claimed that the roads promised
to adopt the 2-cent fare of their own
accord if an anti-pass law wre en-
acted, and that they failed to make
good on their promise. Governor
Colquitt is opposed to the reduction.
Orders have been placed by the
Pennsylvania railroad company for
