Great as Mr.. Johnson's reputation
was both as a lawyer and as public
officer, nevertheless those who knew
him well were inclined to think that
perhaps his highest quality was very
great physical as well as moral cour-
age. a cretain independence of judg-
ment which sometimes caused him te
disagree with his party and once leo
him to take a stand in opposition TO
President johnson, although the per-
sonal relations between the President
and Senator johnson were very close
The quality of very high courage
and his reputation of being one OF the
most profoundly able lawyers OF the
American bar will probably cause MI.
Johnson's name to be remembered
long after his public service as sena-

gotten.
There occurred in the time when
the Know Nothing faction was at It's
height throughout the United states
fine illustration of the reputation
which Mr.. johnson had gained as
man of unfiinching physical and moral
courage. The incident was related 10

Reyerdy Johnson's colleague III tne

known as the Know-Nothing party.
Beverly Johnson was always a
Whig-a Maryland Whig-and it was
as a Wing that he entered President
IJohnson's cabinet. But he had reason
to suspect that a good many Wings
were also Know-Nothings, and it was
for that reason that he left the Wing
party and supported James Buchanan
for President in 1856. johnson was
known to everybody in Maryland, and
especially to everybody in Baltimore,

physical courage.
"At one time when Mr.. Johnson
was away from the city turbulent
organization which was called the
Bloody Tubs started out with the in
tention of doing damage to Mr.. john
sons house. This organization was
made up of a very rough element.
It was in alliance with the Know
Nothings. A great mob marched up
the street toward Mr.. Johnson's
house. 1t was just after twilight.
Some of the mob carried torches. 1t
was evident that. the mob intended
some violent act.
Mrs. johnson, who was a woman
of as heroic character as was her
husband, heard the mob coming. She
looked out of the window and saw
the desperate-minded crowd Of ruiz

HOROSCOPE.
SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1913.
Four Planets Blaze
With evil rays.

Again the planets frown upon NOR
tails. Saturn, Neptune, Mars and
Mercury are all in malefic aspect and
the day is one in which to exercise
extreme caution, astrologers declare.
The configuration foreshadows
weather which is trying to the nerves
and injurious to health. Careful diet
and rest are recommended.
Mercury, always recognized as the
guide of tickle and unstable charac-
ters, is held to exert a peculiarly
malignant influence in the position
which the planet occupies today. The
warning is to guard against ill-tem-
per- irascibility and hasty acts of
every sort. 4se
