NapoIeon,s Love Of Music.

Napoleon has been described as al
most a music hater. A recent writer
put him at the very foot OF the list
OF modern rulers, so far as apprecia-
ton. or even liberation, of music was
concerned.
Now comes an English denial OF the
SANDER. In the Gentlewoman IL Is
admitted that the musical tastes OF
"the Corsican ogre" were not elevated.
But for all that he loved singing so
much that many a time after a con
cert he ordered the vocalists TO come
TO the palace and sing before him and
the Empress josephine.
A curious anecdote is told OF his
brusaue manner of dealing with
artists. One night at a concert at the
Tuileries while Duport. the famous
violoncellist. was performing a solo
the Emperor suddenly entered. His
majesty nodded his head approvingly
and when the piece was finished said
to Duport:
How the deuce do you manage e
keen that instrument so motionless!
and taking up the cello he tried t
lam il between his spurred boots.
Poor Duport nearly tainted when h
saw his treasure treated like a wa
horse. For several minutes he looke'
on, trembling from head 10 foot. A
last. however, he darted forward an

tones that the Emperor handed hir
back the instrument.
Duport thereupon showed how tn

jOV. JOHN A. JOHNSON DEAD

johnson won over Dunn by a plural
ity Of 1900. The meaning OF this
was that some $4,000 Roosevelt men
had also been johnson men.
After a wise and useful admins
tration Governor Johnson came be-
fore the people in 1906 for re-elec-
tion.
1t was an ION year. with no pres
idential candidacy to help the repub-
licans. They soon saw that defeat
was Inevitable, but none of them ex-
pected the astonishing result. Gov
ernor Johnson surpassed the record
OF his previous campaign and reached
every county OF the state but six.
making in all 119 speeches In the
space of seven weeks. When the
votes were counted it was found that
he had swelled his former plurality
OF 1900 into a handsome 10000.
Despite his desire not to be nomi-
mated, Governor Johnson was again
selected as the nominee Of his party
for governor last year. The repub.
licans nominated Norwegian, John
F. Jacobson, but Governor johnson
was reelected by large vote.
During the early period OF the
presidential campaign last year he
was urged to announce his candidacy
for the nomination. 1t was asserted
by his friends that had he done so hs
would have made great fight for the
nomination, and in spite of his op'
position his name was presented Il
the convention.
Governor Johnson had often beer
compared with Lincoln, whom he re-
sembles in physical makeup as vel
as in the success with which he had
overcome untoward circumstances
and had embraced opportunity as 4
arose. His early life, like that o
Lincoln, was clouded with poverty
and hardship. and he. too. had I,
emerge by his own exertions from
difficulties that would have crushed
one less self-reliant.
