Didn't Like the Place.

Journal Press: Exile Berthiaume,
who lives on the East~side and who
deals in horses, accompanied a con-
stable from Swanville, Morrison
county, to the capital of Morrison
county Sunday night.
The police of st. Cloud Sunday
morning received message from The
constable OF Swanyil|e, asking them
to apprehend Bertbiaume, who it
was alleged had been arrest ed yesfer-
day for djsposiDg OF mortaged pro-
perty and who had e]uded the con-
stable OF Little Falls and driven
home to East st. Cloud. The chief
found the man and as the amount
involved was not large and Berthia-
un,e showed no disposition to leave
he did not arrest him but kep pit a tab
on him and when The consta BILE came
down at noon the prisoner accom-
paired him to Little Falls for an ex-
animation. The alleged offense was
committed several years ago and the
amount atstake is not to exceed SIS.
Bertbiaume gave as his explanation
for leaving Little Falls with such
little ceremony that he did not want
to spend Sunday in he county jail
there. He wanted an Immediate ar
raignment but the officer intended to
keep him in Jail over Sunday SO be

MAKES HER SICK,
New Jersey Woman Who Is strangely
Affected by Light.

In Spruce street boarding house
there is now living an elderly spinSter
who for thirty years has avoided the
light. She is no misanthrope, no re-
cluse, nor does her aversion to ligh.
arise from any constitutional defect
OF wide information, chatty and fond
of company, her peculiar condition pre-
cludes enjoyment OF society in circum-
stances making social intercourse most
pleasant In the evenings when the
gas is lighted, she retires to a cloaked
corner, and hidden under an umbrella
especially constructed to ward off rays
of light, she holds converse. Thus she
sits for hours, like some seeress I'M
seen by those in the same room, and
not seeing those to whom she talks and
charms with her fund OF bright and
! interesting things. Not that her eye
sight Is affected-it is as good as that
of any woman 60 years of age. She
simply cannot bear the light to strike
| her. Diffused sunlight as a rule does
not trouble her, but tiny ray illum-
! mating a nearby object upsets her
| physical system and is followed by an
j attack of nausea. The patient is Miss
| Ford OF Moorestown, n. ia descendant
OF the Fords in whose house Washing
ton made his headquarters while in
that part Of New Jersey. She came
here recently to be treated for her pc
| culiar malady. The physicians who
have her case in charge will not say
whether her condition is pathologically
| natural or reflex. Her ailment has eX
listed for thirty years. For all that
! time she has been unable TO suffer the
radiance OF gaslight. and when electric
/ light was introduced her retirement
! from its presence was rendered i'm
perative. It's effect upon her nervous
| system is so baleful that she IS made

When she drives out, except on cloudy
days, the curtains of the carriage are
drawn and draperies so arranged that
there may be no invasion OF distinct
rays of light. The most peculiar fact
connected with Miss Ford's unique

her to see the ray of light to be adj

A Source of Contagiou.

1t has been proven by abundant in
vestigation that one prolific source OF
epidemic disease is found in the ina
bility of the germs of such diseases to
lodge in the mouth around the teeth
and gums. A physician examined the
teeth of the children of certain
school. He found disease germs pres
ent in almost every case. BY careful
watching he discovered that those chill
dren whose teeth were kept cleanest
suffered less from epidemic diseases.
The neglected condition of the teeth
is, therefore, a common cause of i'll
ness; indeed, if one takes the trouble
to observe with what rapidity the tar
tar and cheesy matter accum late
around the teeth of people who are
out of health they will not be long in
making up their minds that a thorough
and judcious use of the tooth brush is
not very far from means OF grace.

Il Is often the case that people meet
with accidents and bruises that cause
disfguring and discolorations from
which they suffer not a little embar-

remedy, and one quite within the reach
of everyone. Immediately after the
accident, mix an equal quantity OF
capsicum aDnuum with mucilage made
of gum arabic. TO this add few
drops of glycerine The bruised sur

How - Duke Earned Sixpence.

How the Duke of Norfolk, one of tht
richest of England's peers, earned his
first sixpence is related by his friends
with a great deal of gusto. A few
years ago large English party head
ed by the duke, went on a continental
tour. The duke busted himself very
much on the journey in kind hearted
way about the welfare of everyone IL
the party. At every station he used
to get out and go round to see if he
could do anything for anyone. One Ole
lady who did not know him when she
arrived at last in Rome, tired and hot
found great difficulty in getting a por-
ter. So she seized on the duke Now
my good man. she said, I've noticed
you at all these stations loafing about
Just make yourself useful for once in
your life. Take my bag and find me
cab The duke mildly did as he
was bid and was rewarded with six
pence. THANK you, madam" he said;
Il shall prize this indeed It is the
first coin have ever earned in my
life"

AVOIDED A WAR.
How Mrs. Monroe Saved LafayetteIs
Wife From the Guiliotine.

Wife From the Guiliotine.
How many people know that Nine
Lafayette, wife OF the great French
general, who was the friend OF the
United States, was saved from the gull
lotine by the wife of the author of the
Monroe Doctrine? An old chronicle
gives this account of the accident:
When Mr.. Monroe was minister from
the United States to Paris, and wher
Gen. Lafayette was confined in tho
prison at Olmutz by the emperor OF
Austria, word was brought to the min
lister that Nine. Lafayette had been
thrown into prison, and that she would
be guillotined in few days. Her
mother and grandmother had died By
the guillotine. Paris was In the hands
OF the mob, and Mr.. Monroe alone
could save her. and could save her
only by appealing TO and arousing the
sympathies of the people. The de-
struction of life had been so great in
every state of society where opulence
was perceptible that, In order to avoid
certain death, all Injuries and splendol
| had been laid aside by the wealthy.
| who instead OF riding in their splendid
carriages. either went on foot or rode
! in the miserable hired cabs OF Paris.
II therefore created q great sensation
when the splendid equipage of the
American minister appeared at the
gate of the prison and Mrs Monroe
told the keeper that she had come to
see the wife of Gen. Lafayette. The
news spread in all directions, and be-
fore Mrs. Monroe drove away from the
prison thousands OF people had gath
cred about her carriage. and says
the old chronicler, "the feelings clio
tied by the feelings of two such females
in such a situation arrested the AK OF
the executioner, and eventually set the
captive free" The feelings of Col.
! Monroe during the absence of his wife
cannot be realized. 1t may be asked,
Why did he not accompany her? 1t
would not have been polite for him to
| do so-might. indeed, have thwarted
/ the accomplishment Of the purpose In
view. When Mrs. Monroe met Nine,
Lafayette the poor Frenchwoman was
in a state Of perfect frenzy, supposing
! that she was about to be led out to ex-
ecut!on. When she found herself en-
braced by the lady of the American
minister within the walls of the
gloomy prison from which. only few
days before, her mother and grand
mother had been led forth to execution,
it was long time before she could
realize her situation" Mrs. Monroe
not only assured her that she should
be saved. but said that Mr. Monroe
had determined to risk all, if neces-
sary, TO accomplish her deliverance.
The plain inference is that the execu-
ton of Nine Lafayette would have
provoked war between France and
the United States.

CuriOns Rihies.

There are in existence a number OF
very odd and curious Bibles. which are
always eagerly sought for by collectors.
At recent book sale in London a copy
OF the Mazarin Bible brought the
rather unusual sum of $4,000. The
special value which attaches to this
book comes from the fact that it is the
first book of any account printed from
movable type. 1t was issued in 1455 by
Gutenberg. and has by some authori-
ties been called the Gutenberg Bible.
1t is in two volumes and the pages are
set in two columns each. For some
years there was much dispute as to the
hrst printed Bible. some experts claim
ing that the Bamberg Bible was the
first book printed in this manner. It
is, however, admitted that the Mazarin
has established its priority of claim.
