In 1921 Europe was startled by the an
nouncement that Napoleon Bonaparte had
died at ST. Helena on May 5. This event dc
livered the continental governments from a
secret and perpetual apprehension The French
people preserved in their hearts n remem-
brance Of which they were, thirty years later
to prove the persistence. Napoleon's robust
health in 1873 gave him promise Of many
years Of life, but six years exhausted his
physical strength and sometimes his moral
COURAGE. The weight of his captivity was
unnecessarily increased by paltl'y annoyances
and severity, and he resented them with a
bitterness which the isolation and WEAKNESS
alone might excuse. p Philadelphia Times.

fair to consume the remaider Of the ses-

fore Cooper's motion could be voted upon

was the best place for it. 1t was central
