NEW YORK, September 17.—Al- though entering his seventy-sec- ond year with enough money to retire and, take up golf, Frank D. Johnson of Brooklyn continues to erect houses all by himself and sell them. For the last filtr worked ten to twelve hours a day at this pursuit and now is putting up a one-man house on Gravesend avenue. No hands but his own have touched the structure since he started it. Last July, while he was working on the house, it was struck by lightning. Digging himself out of the debris, Johnson rubbed some arnica onto his bruises and was back on the job the next day. Born in Boston of revolutionary war stock, Johnson expects to live to 100. He has all but two of his nal teeth and scarcely a hair has fallen from his head. “I could have knocked off and taken it easy, but if I had done so I would now be reposing In some grat,v'eytrd." was the way Johnson put it STIRS ARGENTINA Much Speculation as to Who Will Be Presidential Nominees.
