From the WaShlngtOn PoSt.
 Dr. Britton D. Evans, the brilliant alienist said at a recent dinner in New York:
 Then there is the cunning lunatic. of whom there used to exist a good example at Bridgetown.
 There was a half-witted youth in Bridgetown to whom the neighboring farmers liked to offer a penny and a nickel.
 Gathered about him in a circle on market day, the farmers, one after an- other, would say:
 Now which'll ye have, Peter? Here's a cent-here's a nickel-take yer choice.
 And the foolish Peter invariably would choose the cent rather than the nickel, and the farmers before such in- credible foolishness would roar with laughter, double in two, and slap their legs noisily with their brown hands.
 Peter said one day to the lunatic, why is 1t that you always take the cent instead of the nickel?"
 Suppose I took the nickel said he, would I ever get chance to take an- other one?"

 Mrs Chapman is certainly not wanting in courage to cast in her lot with such a fiery adventurous knight.
 Bonapartists at home and abroad are very much stirred up against me because in my memoirs recently published In Paris I relate to little episode of the ex-Empress Eugenia, hitherto unknown bv both press and public. It is quite an innocent little affair and I wonder It has caused so much comment and lhuigna- ton. In my own justification WISH to say there is nothing scandalous In my memoirs. They are entirely unlike those of the Countess de Cardegan, whose me mOirS do not hesitate to ioNoeNi eiiS .i,- morality of the virtuous Victorian era So that I am surprised to hear that were I d. younger man I should be called upon to fight duel by the defenders or the once beautiful Eugenia de MontlJo
 It seems that this lady, then Empress of the French, once visited the house or the great courtesan Marguerite Belanger at night and alone. This charming gpis- cite had won the favor of the Emperor Napoleon III, and Eugenta was jealous and alarmed Napoleon's health was failing very rapidly at this time. The life of measure and excess he was leading was exceedingly dangerous for him. All anneals to his reason were fruitless. In desperation Eugenia finally swallowed her pride-and she was proud, this beau- tiful woman-and went boldly to the house of the fascinating Marguerite, her rival.
 What passed between the two women. so far removed from each other in the social scale, do not know. What l do know is that the fact of the midnight visit became known and raised a storm of criticism and scandal throughout Paris. It became at once the ambition of many noble danes to emulate the Empress and become DuBarrys and Madame de Pompadours.
 This is the simple truth. The Bona partists need not challenge me to duel because I have told it. There are worse things to be said of women. And Flu genia was certainly a devoted wife. If she was jealous one, well, I fancy she had good reason.

Death of Governor johnson.

Gov. John A johnson, three times Gov.
ernor OF Minnesota, a candidate for the
democratic nomination for President of the
United States in 1908 and looked upon by
many throughout the country as the prob
able Democratic national standard bearer
in 1912, died at St. Mary's Hospital, Roch-
ester, Mimi, last Tuesday morning, follow
ing an operation on Wednesday of last
week. The immediate cause of his death
was exhaustion and heart failure.
Governor johnson was born at St. Peter.
MIMI, on July 20, 1861. His parents were
natives of Sweden. who first met in Anne
RIGA. The father was a blacksmith, and
was prosperous for n time, but finally be-
came a victim of intoxication. At the age
OF IL young johnson left school against his
mothers wish and became the real head
OF the family. He got job in a printing
office in st. Peter at $40 month, and gave
all his earnings to his mother for the sup
port of her and the other children of the
family. He continued his studies at night
in the intervals between his tasks as a
printers devil
After few years he became clerk in a
drug store and proved so valuable that in the
sixteenth year of his age he received the
splendid salary of SIS month. Then it
was that he insisted that his mother stop
the hard labor by which she helped to sup
port the family
Later he returned to the printing bust
ness. and in time became member of the
firm of Essler & johnson, publishers of the
st. Peter Herald, of which he was until
recently the editor in chief
1t would be easy to fill a page with the
bare record of Governor Johnson's achieve
ments. The success he attained in the
management of the State affairs of Min
nes0ta and the popularity of the man
throughout the great Northwest brought
him out prominently prior to the last Pres
idential election. and at one time it looked
as If he would be the standard bearer of
the Democratic party in the Presidential
race.

upon President Taft few days ago as
follows
And now comes Taft and says in sub
stance, 1.-THE party, right or wrong, but al
ways the party
HE praises Aldrich as a statesman and
names him for leader of financial legisla-

HE argues for the Tariff BILL admitting
that he got his figures from Aldrich and
Payne. men who stand elbow to elbow with
Rockefeller and Morgan.
HE attacks Governor johnson, of Min
nesota. for arraying the West against the
East, and then makes speech in the
West in which he places himself squarely
in line with the interests of the East and
tries to justify tariff that was made ex-
clusively in behalf of the Eastern interests
and in which the interests of the West
were ignored.

Precautions TO be Taken by TIT
berculosis Patients.

/. A patient should have a bed and room
to himself.
2. All sputum should be burned and des-
troyed. Any other way simply puts the
disease somewhere else.
3. The patient should carefully cover his
mouth when coughing.
4. The patient should have his own
dishes, which should be kept separate from
other dishes. be washed by themselves
and dried on their own towel
s. All bed clothing and body linen should
be boiled Is minutes before being washed.
The intense heat of boiling kills the germs.
6. All rooms occupied by consumptive
should be fumigatcd by formaldehyde mot
SULPHUR when he leaves them, which
should be followed by thorough cleaning
and scrubbing Of the room and OF all ar
ticles used in connection with the patient
Blankets should be washed and soiled bed
ding burned If this is not done the germs
of tuberculosis will live in room for
months after the patient leaves it, hence
the utmost care is necessary TO make 1t
safe for the next occupant.
