Lewis T. Johnson was a native of
Norway, born in 1866. where he was
highly educated. He came to Viro-
qua in the early sos and at first taught
school, thereafter for some years be-
ing popular clerk in different bust
ness houses. He was married to So
phia Hooverson, and for several years
they worked together as attendants
in our county asylum. and SO satisfac-
tory was their service that they were
employed as superintendent and ma
tron of Richland county hospital
twelve years ago. They had one
daughter, Agnes, who took her moth
er's place following her demise. For
her and the other Kindred sympathy
is very manifest. The aged father,
SO years old,in Norway, and one broth
er, Pat, ''of Lacrosse, survive.

ined that he had discovered a way
to turn water into power just as al
most innumerable cranks have be-
lieved for generations that they had
discovered perpetual motion. But now
comes the news that a great manu-
featuring company has paid to Mr..
Enright the equivalent of 2 million
dollars for his patent right. Manu-
featuring concerns do not pay out 2
million dollars or a million dollars
for fakes. If Enright received any
such consideration for his discovery
then he got it after the purchaser
had carefully examined the working
of the powder or whatever it is, that
generates the power in water. The
examination evidently was not made
hurriedly and it must have been made
by experts who naturally would be
skeptical If Enright really has made |
the discovery described it will rank |
as one of the very greatest of re-
markable age of discoveries. 1t should
revolutionize transportation in this
country, for it will furnish power
much cheaper than the cheapest coal.
1t will reduce the expense of running
and motor trucks, and
tractor engines by one-half. A new
kind of water power will be substitute
ed for coal and gasoline power in
manufacturing concerns and the
smoke Nuisance will be abolished from
the kaadT. But it is unfortunate that
an invention with such tremendous
possibilities for public welfare should
fall into the hands of a private con-
FERN, which has the power to monop-
,lize it and extort vast profits from
he public for the right to use it. An
invention of that kind should be pur-
,hased by the government and then !
Everybody should be permitted to use 8
t. In that way the inventor or dis 9
overer would be fairly compensated ,
or his labor and genius and the gen y
raj public would get the benefit of 9
he discovery. What the Maxim COM
any will do in all probability will be
o sell the right to use this invention
+ discovery at just fraction under +
he cost of gasoline. If that is the .
olicy to be pursued there will be a

Recently a dispatch from Fairbanks
Alaska, told briefly of a rich gold
strike on Boob and Tolstoi creeks in
the lnnoko district, and it added that
there was a stampede of miners from
the other Alaskan districts. 1t hard
" need be told how every dog in
Fairbanks was sold to carry miners
in before the ice in the rivers broke
up, or how others planned to go by
boat and canoes Wherever gold is
found there is the rush of adventur-
ers drawn on by the lure of big, if
not easy, money. And into what wild
and desolate places does the yellow
metal call men; to frozen wastes and
torrid deserts and the homes of blood
thirsty savages. It's call brought men
across the trackless prairies and
snow-capped mountains of the West
in the days of 40. 1t took them on

called men to the perils of Kaffirs
and Zulus in South Africa, and sent
them into frigid wastes of Alaska and
the fever swamps of South America,
A wild trail and desolate is this route
of the gold seekers, and it is marked
by dead mems bones, and shattered
hopes and bitter disappointments, for
many are called but few are chosen
TO reap the large reward of the rich
strike. And of those few still fewer
profit by their gains, for the money
which comes suddenly has way of
going in the same abrupt manner. But
still men go and will go, so long as
gold is our standard of value; so long
as men dream golden dreams of sud
den affluence poured on them by
Mother Nature. The pay dirt on Boob
and Tolstoi creeks is but another
chapter in the long romance of the
far-fung gold fields.

About the year 1881. according to an
I'D collection of historical miscellany
mblished nearly century ago, a sloop

about the Boston wharves by the name
of Copper Bottom was owned by VII

lifting in Boston, this vessel was
seized for some violation of the law.
lchabod Plaisted, the naval officer of
the port, made the seizure. He was
not n man of any learning or of very
much wit, and he begged a certain
Captain Dowse of his acquaintance to
help him write the letter in which he
should advise the board of war of the
proceedings under its order
The worthy captain, who loved joke
very dearly, composed the following
epistle, which Mr. Plaisted very grave

of war;

What impels individuals to write
foolish letters to the press and then,
as if conscious that they are foolish,
challenge the editor with, 81 dare you
to print ?" Every editors mail is
no doubt afflicted with such letters.
The writer's are usually foolish, as a
matter of course, otherwise they
would not put such foolish challenge
into their letters. The writer of
decent letter to a newspaper, no mat
ter whether favorable or opposed to
the newspapers ideas, is not obliged
TO challenge the editor to print it.
The inclusion of the "dare" is a con
fession by the writer that his letter is
so foolish that unless some extra
pressure is brought 60 bear it cannot
hope to see daylight. But while the
writers of "dare" letters are neces
sarily foolish, they have rudiment-
airy sort Of shrewdness. Knowing mat
an editor hates TO take dare" thew
cleverly adopt this method of getting
into print. On the other hand tbe
editor, disliking the t5ne of such a |
letter, yindictivelg lets it get into
print, knowing that it will hurt the
writer's reprtation. 1t was some time
before We learned the proper way to

1t was an old Flemish wood carver
who placed the motto, where there
is no vision the people perish" on the

"where there is no program to make
the vision real the people will still
perish"
Never was the writer more forcibly
impressed with the need of program
in rural life than at recent country
life conference held in our own state.
Nearly all of the interests of a rural
population were represented at this
meeting; there was vision a-plenty,
but there was no program.
