"VlVE l'EMPEREUR."
A Napoleon Veterans Enthusiastic Re
ception and Death.

A Napoleon Veterans Enthusiastic Re-
ception and Death.
Long after Bonaparte had been dead
and buried, and his heart, to use Sir
Lucius O'Triggers expression, "pickled
and sent home" the veterans of the
oraade drmee continued to believe that
their Emperor was still alive, and would
return some day to lead on the French
eagle again to victory. This supersti-
tion gave occasion to heartless practi-
cal Joke. There was Quartered in a
provincial town of France a veteran of
The Old Guard, who was firmly con-
yinced Of the future coming of the En-
peror, and would descant upon this topic
at a cafe he used to frequent, at such a
length as alternately to amuse and bore
a party of young men whom he used to
meet there, and who would often draw
the old man out. One day it be-
came known to them that GER
tain relative of Napoleon, who bore a
striking resemblance to him, would en-
ter the town that night, in comm and of
a detachment of troops. Seeing an op-
portunity of indulging in a joke at the
old mans expense, they told him, as a
great secret, that his hopes were about
to be realized. and that, if he desired to
witness the Emperor's return, he should
get himself placed on duty that night
at the gate of the town. The veteran
did so, and, palpitating with Joy and
expectancy, awaited the appointed hour.
1t came, the sound of drums approached,
the troops entered the place, and at
their head rode one whose calm face
and clear-cut features awakened in the
old soldiers mind memories of the
glorious past. In an agony of joy he
exclaimed: "C'est lui!"-he dropped his
musket threw up his arms and with a
cry of "Vive rEmpereur!" fell dead

New DEPOT.

The patrons Of the G. NJ. & st. Paul
railroad believe that it is now about
time that a new depot should take the
place of the old shell in which the en-
ployes Of that company are compelled
to do business in. 1t is low, unhandy,
gloomy place to work in and certainly
not a fit place for ladies to wait for
trains. There is only one reception
room for men and women Men for
get themselves and smoke the ladies
out. They often remain in the buses
until the train arrives to avoid the
sitting smoke. This company do an in
and out business at this station of
$l25 900 a year, and can we'll afford to
put III q new depot. In fact they will
lose business if they don't give the
people a comfortable and pleasant place
III which to transact their business with
that company. In this respect the
Green Bay Railroad company is far
ahead of them for they have a neat
little depot. Business mon of both
cities should unite in making demand
for new depot.

Total.

Standing of the company on scale
Of 100, 1924.
There were three principal causes of
this low percentage; first the absence
of Is men: second, on general deport-
ment large number were marked
zero by reason of not maintaining 1g-
idly the position of soldier as laid
down in the school of the soldier;
third some muskets had not been prop
erly cleaned and large number were
still quite oily. If each member will
realize that upon him helps to depend
the company standing, better stand
will be made at the regular monthly
inspection. On the last Friday of
August every member should be in line.
Should a state inspecting officer be sent
here the boys must bear in mind that
there is deep significance in a perfect
record, and a perfect record depends
on each man individually.

FINALLY SOLVED.

The Marshfeld News. IN its last issue,
contains what they believe to be a
solution of the building of the Port
Edwards, Centralia and Northern
railroad. Here is what they have to
say:
The mystery that has enveloped the
construction of the proposed railroad
from Port Edwards, via Centralia here,
is gradually being cleared up leaving
little doubt as to the purpose and motive
Of the construction Of the road. The
News knowing the interest with which
Its readers have watched for some
authentic information has devoted both
time and money to that end and feels
as if it can now present statement as
reliable as it is surprising. From the
first, the inferenea.o . be drawn from
the News report on'the road was that it
was step of the Central's. That the
position was correct is almost conclusive
ly shown in the fact that 100000 worth
Of Port Edwards, Centralia and
Northern R. R. first mortgage bonds
have just been placed on the Boston
market, guaranteed by the Wisconsin
Central r. r. Co. This ought 10 set at
rest any doubt as to who is behind the
road as we'll as confirm the impression
that the road will be built
It does not require master mind to
cipher out the benefits that will accrue
to the Central from this move, if the
party possesses any information what
ever on the movements recently made
in the railroad world. The llne it will
be seen at glance is part Of almost
an air line between Chicago and st. Paul,
to secure which is. a matter of vital
Importance to the Central system. The
Northern Pacific is il the deal and there
is hardly any doubt but that it was
responsible for the .Sove being made as
early as it has BEEN That company is
making strong fight for the Pacific
slope and Dakota passenger traffic, but
has been placed to some disadvantage
in not having short line. To overcome
this an arrangement has been effected
with the St. Paul road for passenger
traffic, but the matter is not entirely
satisfactory, and if the expenditure of
a small amount of capital will help them
out of the dilemma, that money will be
furnished.
I'VE were in hopes that Bro. Paulus
was right, but as the Port Edwards Cen
tralia and Northern railroad Co. have
issued no bonds yet, we cannot see how
the Central Companv can guarantee
the bonds in the N3w York market
when they have nof,een issued. The
trouble with our sister city Of Marsh
field is, that she never thought that the
line would be put through and now
that the road is surely going there she
can't account for the construction of the
road. Why man the firm Of Edwards
Il Co. can build two OF three Of Just
such lines Of railroad and never feel it.
The principal trouble with the
Marshfield people is, that their argu-.
ment for the new county scheme is
Knocked in the head by the new
railroad. They will have no trouble to
reach the county seat when this line is
completed.
Why not tender the new railroad
company depot grounds and a free
light-of into the city? Don't throw
cold water on the enterprise. Welcome
it with that same cordialitv you have
shown on the arrival of the Omaha
railroad. Be consistent at least
