The first fifteen years of his life in

II is quite step from the center
of the state OF Pennsylvania, 10 the
heart of the Lone Star state of Texas,
even in these days Of modern trans
portation, but it was a huge under
taking half century ago when the
popular means of overland travel was
the OK or mule team and where a
good saddle horse was considered The
par-excellence of speed, yet that is
just the condition that faced a popu-
lar resilient of Carter county who
when a youth, listened TO the call Of
the west and taking the advice of
distinguished resident of New York
city, moved to grow up with the
country.
]. w. Johnson Of Milo, left his
home in the wooden shoe belt of the
Keystone state 40 years ago to
make his fortune in the West, his
idea of the west at the time being
vast void, as prior to making his
decision, the farthest west he had
ever visited, was the west boundary
line of his parents farm. farm Of
forty acres in middle Pennsylvania,
which was considered some chunk Of
real estate for one man to own.
An aunt residing in Texas attracted
his footsteps to the west and he soon
found himself herding cattle, and
learning to ride a pony on the plains
the latter being often impressed with
his youthful figure as the horse he
was riding decided to buck" and
throw him to the sod. and it was not
long before he decided that he must
| learn to ride If he intended to stay
in that country and prosper.
Continual application to his job
soon graduated him into the mysteries
Of the Texas bronx and saddle, and
after few years in Texas he de-
cided to try his luck among the
Indians of the Territory to the north
and so landed in Oklahoma, and In
that section of what is now Garter
county where he has resided since.
A Real Mans Job.
1t was a he mans job to stay
in this section of the universe at the
time Mr.. Johnson arrived The ma
tlves' were all right, but the hordel
of outlaws, bootleggers, horse thieves
and other undesirabes were all wrong
and it did not take him very long L

quickly, were assets not to be over

Has Made Liberal Donations.
Mr. Johnson has always been for--
most in promoting the welfare of peo.
PIE Of this sec:;on OF the state, he
has donated land TO churches and
schools and on more than one occas-
ion. paid from his own purse for
teachers, when there were no public
funds available in order that the chill.
