NAPoLEON'S- ONE NOVEL.

A Sensational Love story Written by the
Matchless Corsfcan.
The New York World has dragged
from its obscurity sensational love
story written by Napoleon Bonaparte
in his college days. 1t is possible
that the story is a 'fake." but as
Bourienne, Napoleon's private secre-
tary. preserved it and handed it down
to posterity, the presumption is that
Ii is genuine. A glance at this forgot
ten romance shows that the great
Corsican possessed in no small degree
the gift of vivid and graphic story
telling. The short novel now rather
cruelty thrust upon the public reads
wonderfully like the intense and sensa-
tional dime fiction of the present day.
Perhaps under favorable circumstances
Napoleon would have been the Dumas
of his day, but it is likely that his
first crude effort disguised him, and
he threw it aside. Undoubtedly the
poor and friendless student in those
days had the literary craze. and
had it bad. Besides his novel, he
wrote a drama, but he was no
better satisfied with this than
he was with his story. So he
reluctantly laid down the pen and took
up the sword. 1t is enough to make
the stern conquerer turn in his grave
to have this folly of his youth spread
before the eyes of the readers of this
generation. There can be no doubt
that it is treating great man very
uniustly and stability to make public
che literary efforts of his boyish days.
Very few of our best writer's would
show up well under such a test Some
of our successful men have voluntarily
given to the world the compositions
written when they were in their teens.
but it is suspected that they revised
their work very carefully and made
radical changes. But the whole basi-
ness shows how little is really known
of a mans inner life and his secret as.
pirations. Napoleon's fellow-students
could form no estimate of his future
greatness, and those who knew him in
his maturer years never dreamed that
he had missed one of his pet aims in
life, and was, like Richelieu, failure
in literature. After all, even q great
man is a very queer being, and some
times his thoughts, methods and mis-.
takes are very much like those Of
small men.-Atlanta Constitution.

French judges have just decided q
most extraordinary will case. A
Frenchman of wealth named Travers
had conceived an intense hatred for
his country. When he died five years
ago he willed his property to 1.-The
poor of London" after these words:
"I have always been oppressed in my
native land. I have arrived at the
age Of forty-five. and have never been
my own master. Horrible nation!
People of towards and blockheads! /
should like to have milliards to give
to the English. who are the born enc
mics of this idiotic France. This is
clear and to the point" The relatives
of M. Travers naturally disputed this
will on the ground that the testator
was not of sound mind, and that the
will. being framed in hatred of France.
was contrary to public order" and.
lastly. that it could not be carried out
In England as there was no legal rep
resentative of the poor. But the court
overruled all these objections. and the
appeal subsequently made has just
been reiected.-London Times.
