mon men all want to find this out but John
son made it his business
He arrived in Denver in boxcar and al
most got nabbed in the yards He rode the
blind baggage" over Hagerman Pass and
almost got choked by the smoke in the tunnel.
He slept anywhere and everywhere. Once he
slept in new house that didn't have the roof
on yet. He thinks that that was the funniest
place he ever slept.
Working everywhere at everything he grew
strong (His father had been blacksmith in
the old country.) His hands grew brown and
knobby, and his shoulders big and mobile
Time and trouble, wind and weather, blind
baggage and boxcar drew long lines down his
Swede face. To soft and civilized world he
came to look like something out of rock, or
maybe relief map. Hardly anybody remem-
bers him when his hair wasn't white.
1t wasn't his own troubles that lined his
face and turned his hair 1t was all the troubles
of all the other people in the world. Johnson

his chidren's name. Let's call the son John
son, anyway.
When he was thirteen young Johnson was
working on milk wagon, dipping out a pint
of milk for a pink ticket and quart for
green one. Then he got a job as a porter in a
barbershop, and once he shined the shoes of
three Congressman who came to town for
another Congressman's funeral
Then he hit the road. He got a job as a
scene shifter in one town and truckman in
another, as an apprentice to potter some
where, as helper to house painter some
where else. He washed dishes in Omaha and
Denver. He harvested wheat in the fields of
Kansas.
Everywhere he went he found common men
and lived with them But though he called
potatoes ''spuds" and coffee lava" and
money ''mazuma, there was something un-
commonly common about him. He wanted to
find out something. He wanted to find out
why he was here and where he was going,
and what was worth living for and why. Com

W RE'S the oommonest man know. He's
so common he never talks about "the
u = common man" He talks about ''bozos"
and ''geezers" and eggs" and "galoots"
Let me tell you about this galoot
He's Swede, the way most of the people
who made this country, in case you've for
gotten it, are Swedes or Poles or Irish or
Italians. He was born in prairie town in
Illinois sixty three years ago. His father came
over in the steerage and worked on the rail
roads and couldn't write his name.
So, you see, he came from the people who
made this country and who, to look at the
front page or the society column, aren't there
at all and never have anything happen to
them. There are millions of them, and they're
called The People.
His fathers name was August Johnson,
but there were 50 many Swedes named John
son working in the railroad shop that one
day the paymaster said to August Johnson,
There are too many Johnsons to keep track
of. So August Johnson changed his name and
