Chief among these later developments
is official and political consideration Of
the one price-to-all' doctrine. Inasmuch
as the subject of retail merchandising is
of more intimate and ineligible import
to the people at large and because il is

ANDREW JoANsoNs HABITS.

Andrew Johnson was one Of the
neatest men in his dress and person
have ever known. During his three
years in Nashville, in particular, he
dressed In black broadcloth, frock coat
and waistcoat and black doeskin
trousers, and wore a silk hat. This
had been his attire for thirty years,
and for most OF that time, whether as
Governor of Tennessee, member OF
Congress or United States Senator, he
had made all his own clothes. He was
so scrupulous about his linen that he
invariably changed all of it daily, and
sometimes oftener.
He was matchlessly perfect in fig
ure, about feet 10 inches, had hand
some broad shoulders, fine forehead,
superb face, dark bushy hair, and
small hands and feet. The most mark
ed feature about him was his eyes,
which were small, and, although such
eyes are not usually attractive, his
were black, sparkling and absolutely
beautiful
He was not a gamester at anything,
and could play only indifferently at
checkers. In 1862 he explained to me
that he had never visited theatre.
because in his youth he lacked the OPP
portunity, and always afterward would
rather study and work or go to bed
than spend his time at playhouse.
! He looked on all kinds of gambling as
wrong, never knew one card or one
domino from another and was never
at horse race. He had been to few
circuses and minstrel shows, and liked
them.
Andrew Johnson has been called a
drunkard, as well as a traitor; but the
"whirligig of time" has set him right
on the latter, and today there Is no
man of the Civil War who is receiv-
ing so much honest attention at the
ndHuS OI IlSlOTldHs. Dul lhuI hhuiO"
Johnson was a drunkard is more diff
cult to disprove. This is partly be-
cause the only time that he was ever
under the influence of liquor in his
life the whole Nation saw him, either
with their eyes or read Of 1t, and upon
an occasion when he should have been
absolutely sober-I mean when he
was inaugurated as Vice President on
the 4th of March, 1865.
"But had not Johnson been a drink
ing man through life?" | have often
been asked. Not to the extent the
one incident implied. Indeed, Johnson
had always been considered a temper
ate man in all things. sat with him
at the same table in Nashville at least
once a day for eighteen months, and
never saw him take wine or liquor
with any meal. He never drank
cocktail in his life, never was In
barroom, and did not care for cham
payne. He did take two or three or

BOB HENRY IN TROUBLE.

Congressman Henry has apparently
got himself in fearful tangle out
there at Hamilton. The Congress
mans motto-borrowed from Brother
Bryan-is, LET the people rule"
Taking him according to directions,
the people out there ask of Mr.. Henry
that they be permitted to take vote
as to their choice for postmaster, to
which he replies that he is standing
by the custom of a century in himself
designating the man whom he is to
recommend for postmaster at Hamil-
ton. And they come back and say that
the custom of century has been not
to let the people rule. 1t isn't our
fight; we make no comment further
than to say that if anyone can
straighten out tangle like that, Bob
Henry's the man.-Waco Times

Let us devote ourselves to those
great objects that are fit for our con-
sideration and our action; let us raise
our conceptions to the magnitude and
the importance of the duties that de-
volve upon us; let our comprehension
be as broad as the country for which
we act, our aspirations as high as its
certain destiny; let us not be pygmies
in a case that calls for men.-Daniel
