Napoleon l.
HIS EARLY TRAINING

The family of Bonapartes were OF pure
Italian race; there was not n drop OF
French blood in any of them. Their an
cestors had come from the mainland in the
early history Of Corsica. and their names
are found in the remote annals of AIaccio.
Carlo Bonaparte was poor gentleman
of excellent breeding and character, who
married in his youth young and romantic
girl named Letizila Ramolina. who follow
ed him in his campaigns up to the moment
of the birth of Napoleon. IL is impossible
to say how much the history of Europe
owes to the high heart and indomitable
spirit of this soldierly woman. She never
relinquished her authority in her family.
When all her children were princes and
potentates she was still the severe, stern,
Madame Mere. The beauty and grace of
Josephine Besuharnais never conquered
her; the sweet Tyrolese prettiness of
Marie Louise won from her only Il sort of
contemptuous indulgence. When her
mighty son ruled the continent. she was
the only human being whose chidings he
regarded or endured. She was faithful in
her rebukes while the sun shonc, and when
calamity came. her undaunted spirit was
still true and devoted to the fallen. Her
provincial habits of economy stood her in
good stead in her vigorous old age; she
was rich when the empire passed away.
and her grandchildren needed her aid
greatly.
1t must have been from her that Napo-
leon look his extraordinary character. His
father. Carlo Bouaparte. though brave
soldier and ardent patriot in his youth,
was of an easy and genial temper. inclined
to take the world as he found it, and not
to insist too much on having it go in his
especial way. After the cause of Corsi-
can liberty was lost by the success of the
French arms. he accepted the situation
without regret and becoming intimate with
the couqerues. he placed as many of his
family as possible on the French pen
sion list. His sons Napoleon and
Louis were given scholarships al
Breienne and at Autun, and his eldest
daughter. Elsie. entered the royal
institution of st. Cyr. While yet in the
prime OF his life, he died of the same dis
ease which was to finish Napoleon's days
at st. Helena; and the heroic mother. her
responsibilities becoming still heavier by
this blow, lived for eight years amid the
confusion and civil tumult which had be-
come chronic in Corsica; and then. after
the capture of the island by the English
in 1903. she made her escape with her
children to Marseilles, where she lived
several years in great penury.

knowledge of his profession, his sterling in
tegrity, his skill in managing men, his
promptness and untiring industry made him

manly bearing, and Christian character. For
many years he has been the superintendent

come quite model school. TO him is largely
due the formation of the Washington Sunday
