A. J. Jiinjison, ; who was one pi

ton, has returned from thu Souti
iBiul will upend u few weeks nt hit

:iiever was o thin in my life," suiij
;h,. "as 1 was when I left Charles
ton, last week. We Northerns
.connut stand their way if living
down there. Judged hy our stand
ard!', they have very little to :al.
:and that little is far (run heing ql
Vtfie hest quality. The country it
too poor ' lo yield mueh (or thi
iroarket. . The meat we had wa
ihrouglit in from afar und had been
.frozen and thawed uutillt flavor
was gone. - Suet, a beefsteak as
,can get, here, for Jour, bits would
.cost about $4- down .theire,' if.it
.could be had at all. The land
there is uo old and lean that com
mercial fertilities have to be used
.in large quantities, and Strawber
ries and vegetables are so strongly
iimprcgnated with potash (rom the
fertilizers that I couldn't eat them.
There is no grass for cattle, only
weeds growing wild, and the i:ows
:are wretchedly poor in fact keep
ing with the whole country. Winds
blow worse there than in San Fran
,cisco and keep the light soil parch-
.ed and the air full of dust much of
.....
the time. The white people down
there would better abandon the
icountry to the negroes.
"From my experience with birth
jaees I think the Chinese are away
: . ahead of. the negroes. ' They nre
better to' get along with and better
ior the slate." ...
: .Alter Mr, Johnson shall have re
covered his normal weight, he will
.resume his business of collecting
forest seeds for the United States
:and foreign" governments. He hue
a considerable order to fill for the
Chilean Government, seeds of lum
ber trees, and will go to Southern
Oregon to begin the harvest. He
gathers the cones in large quanti
ties and either dries or shells the
seeds .on the gromnd or sends them
to Astoria .and there gets the seed
,frora the cone. He packs the seed
carefully and labels the packages
-with the true name and sends them
to the governments that order them.
Nearly every European government
is a patron of Mr. Johnson, as well
m all the large botanical gardens.
The foreigners have been so frequ
ently imposed upon by getting stale
seed and seed not true to name,
that they are very cautious and
demand the most indubitable' as
surance that what they buy is what
they ,' ordered.-' Mr. Johnson hag
been in this business so long, how
ever" his customers have learned 5
trust him. The frt order came
t'irougli the Department of State at
Washington, and our Government
became, in a manner, pledged, to
see that the foreigners did not get
swindled.
Mr. Johnson gathers not only
the seeds of lumber trees; but also
of all other trees and plant desir-1
ed, that are native to this country,
his field beinn' California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho mid Montana.
He sashc has lianilleil.yOOO Vari
eties of seeds and plants. " The
lily-bull) industry alone is quite
important, a3 many as 100,00Q
having been shipped by him in a
,nle season to his foreign patrons.
He rinds his tield vovy. rich in bul
bs 'H plain's, anil there' Li an active
.demand fir them abroad.
All thi time Mr. Johnson is en-,
gi.?ed in special wink for the I)e
srtflt,'f "Wie-IaUuiier,, in ex
amining mid reporting upon forest
reserves aud other forest lands and
(fees under i'oj-iy.is conditions of
growth. His main work of dei-erip
lion has been completed and W
reports are now appearing in pub
lications of thu V hi ted Stales Geol
ogical Survey.
"i like this work," said Mr. John
son,"hecause there is no competition
and no ineciujye to cheapen the
service. I can always be sure that
my representations are correct.
And then there is so much that is
interesting anJ always fresh and
new in it," Oregonian.

"I've traveled for thirty years in
the employ of various individuals
and firms," said a gentlemen in
the lobby of Ja Detroit hotel the
oilier evening, " and you'd natur
ally think I was up to all the tricks,
but I got beaten p, few weeks ago
with my eyes ide open, I was in
Chicago, and while I j;is writing a
letter in thu reading-room two
other men, both of whom looked
liked country merchants, got into
a dispute as how to spell the word
'successor,' One contended that
there was only one V in it while
the other hung on for two. After
wrangling awhile they appealed to
me to decide it. A minute before
they did so I'd ha .o let a thousand
to one that there w;is a double V
in the word, but a luiiiulo alter I
was not at ail su e. A 1 dniib.ed

is only one V in inn nurd,'
Aud litre s iu tn.it lucre arc
two,' replied the other, 'and 1 hoie
this gentleman will act us stake
holder until we can consult a dic
tionary .'
"I could not well refuso," said
the traveler, "and I took the two
tens and put them into nny vl
pocket.' Ten minutes later the bet
was decided in favor of the double
'8,' and as I handed the two tens to
the man who had won he asked me
if I couldn't accoraoda e him with
four fives. I did so, und shoved
the tens back into my pocket, and
that's the way I was beaten. The
tens were countcrfit silver certifi
cates, and hud I looked, at them
closely I should have; spotted
them."
"And about the rrlen?"'was ask-
ed
.
"Oh. they got but soon- after the
transaction, of course. They were
a couple of fellows working the ho
tels (or suckers. It wasut such a
bad swipe to lose 120, but I pre
sume they warked the racket five
or six time a day. No f don't (eel
so bad about tho loss of the money,
but, what makes me tired is to rea
lize that after beating the old
Louisina lottery and about 50 con
fidence games, including three card
montc, I should be taken in and
done for by a simple twist of the
wrist. I'm not so certain yet how
'successor1 is spelled, butf. I'm sure
that 'sucker' has only one 's' in it."
