I THE FAR-FAMED HOOD VALLEY. Andy Johnson's Account Book. Philadelphia Record. Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth president of the United Htates, wag in early life a tailor, and his tailor's ac count, linok ia here in Philadelnbia. The entries in it read like this: lei 23 James Patterson, Pr. To cutting up pants H.50 Thomas O. Arnold, Dr. To mending one coat 1.00 John 1 Joyce, Vr. My Hour (100 lbs) 2.00 The volume ia long and sliiu, about 18 inches long and about 8 inches wide. It is bound in pasteboard that is cov ered with a pale brown paper, across which bars or another shade run. It is a little faded, but its state of preserva tion ia excellent. There are even loose slips of paper lying here and there among its leaves slips covered with memoranda and arithmetical calcula tions in Johnson's untrained and diffi cult hand. The book proper shows that the young man's tailoring business was neither very huge nor very profitable. It Bhowa that his prices were extremely low. It shows that he was often glad to take in payment for his work flour, potatoes and wood. Andrew Johnson's handwriting was bad and his spelling was faulty. It is not strange that these things should be so, lor he did uot learn lo write until after he was married. His wife taught him to write; he had learned to read from his fellow workmen when he was a tailor's apprentice. He never went to school. In the circumstances surrounding the abject poverty or his early life there Is something strange and pathetic;. An drew Johnson's father, when the lad was only 4 years old, died from injuries that lie received In rescuing a mown inir ncrson. lie left his family in want, and Andrew, at the age of 10, was ap prenticed to a tailor. By the time lie was It! lie was skilled enough lo be a iournevinan, and lie worked in that en- nacitv at 1-aurens Ottrt House, h.

Johnson's wife was Eliza McCardle She it was who educated him. A wo man of intelligence, refinement and generosity, she devoted her life to her husband's culture and development, and deserved no little share of the cred it of his Ruccesa. In 1X21, at the age ol 21, Johnson en tered politics. He organized in tireen ville u woiUiiiginen's party, and was elected to several local offices. He served in the state Icgidature: he whs in congress from ISM to IKTtf; in 153, and again in 1S55, he was elected gov ernor of TennesM-e; in 1S57 he became I'nited States senator. Johnson wnsstrong against secession. When Lincoln was elected he made a Hwerfiil speech in favor of the pres ervation of the I'nion. This loyalty subjected him to grave personal danger from the Tennessee secessionists when lie returned so that state to organize a I'nion parly. In lHiii Lincoln appointed Johnson miliisrv coventor of Tennessee. diffi cult and dangerous post, in which he served so well that, thouirb originally a democrat, he was nominated on the ticket with IJncoln in lMvl. His later life was stormy. Immedi ately upon his accession to the pres idency at Lincoln's death lie began a dissetiftioti witlt congress as to the con ditions upon which the seceding state should be allowed to return to the Un iou. Johnson vetoed bill after bill, but congress passed them over his veto. In 1806, attended by members of his cab inet, he made a tour through several of the Northwestern states denouncing the action of congress as rebellious ana appealing to the people to support him. But at the congressional elections of that year the policy of congress was in dorsed by large majorities. Finally, the house of representatives impeached the president for high crimes and misdemeanors, and be was tried before the senate and acquitted. He died in 1875, just after he had been elected a United States senator. The account book of this man, who filled the highest and most honorable office In the United States, shows him to have been in early life very illiterate and very poor. The book is a lesson to poor boys, an incentive to industry and to ambition. County Debt Reduced to $75,000. Probably no county in Orceon has a& coinplieheu more in the way of getting out ol debt in the past lew years than Wasco county lins. On July 1, liHX), the county was four years behind in the payment of outstanding warrants. On August 7, UHW, County Treasurer Hamp shire issued his first call for warrants after assuming office in the previous July. His call on that date was for war rants registered prior to September 1, 18!Hi. On April 18, of this year, he is sued a call for warrants registered prior to January 1, 1902. Thus in 1900 the county was four years behind in meet ing its debts, whereas now it ia only one year and three months, or in other words in 18 it had a debt amounting to about 200,0(H), whereas now the debt is in the neighborhood of 175,000.

The events mentioned in the news columns and provoking this comment are full of pleasant significance. We now have the right point of view in contemplat ing the things of this earth which are meant for our enjoyment in proper measure and spirit. Apportionment of School Funds. The recent apportionment of county school funds for Wasco county amount ed to $16,889.68. The number of chil dren in the county is 4939, and the per capita distribution, $3.40, with a sur plus of $97.08.

Y., recently, de feated the champion chess player of that city. Only a few days before this event the Baptist ministers' association In St. Louis stood adjourned during the passage of a circus street parade. The St. Louis Republic, commenting upon the above, says: "There was a lime when such Inci dent as these m'giit have caused dis approval in si rict church circles. The mere idea of a Methodist divine engag ing in a chess tournament, and espe cially when a church conference was under way and lie was the presiding officer of that conference, would have been treated as something worse than frivolity. Similarly would the spec stacleof the gathering of Baptist cler gymen Interrupting their weekly meet ing in order to look at a passing circus parade have aroused doubt as to spirit ual consistency. "But those were the mistaken days when the extreme precisions took their religion in a way to make it more of a curse than a blessing. iime ol meui refused to see any lieauty in the world which good (toiI had given them.
