some kind people, and whom he had not
seen for twenty-five years.
; His search for her was unsuccessful.
Discouraged and almost pennileSs, he
unfortunately met one of his old COM
paniOns, who induced him to violate
his good resolutions, and engaged with
him in scheme which he had perfect
ed, and was about to carry into eXecu-
tiOn.
The result was they were arrested in
the act, and before his furlough had ex
pired he was in the state prison again
sentenced for taCe,1ty-three years.
With the same old calm, quiet man.
ner he went back to his old bench to
work, and resumed his former ways.
Two years later, on Sunday even
ing, on my return from a meeting l had
attended, l was informed that two con-
victs had escaped from the prison.
This man was one of them. 1t is un-
necessary to enter into detail, but it
was an exploit for ingenuity and
Shrewdness worthy of better cause.

two months he was arrested, and back

He who has praying friend is rich indeed.
If we live for God, he will make that living
sweet.
God does not honor prayer that does not
look for an answer
Our usefulness in life depends more upon our
habits than our talents.
Christ owns his friends this side of heaven, and
points them out to men.
That friend given to you by circumstances over
which you had no control, was Gods own gift.
Wise men ne'er sit down and wall their loss,
but cheerfuly seek how to redress their harm.
Pass on your blessings. Every discipline
through which you pass is meant to prepare you
to lead another soul through similar pathway.
To certain extent, God gives the prayerful
control of Himself. He places His OmnipOtent
power within their hands and becomes their
willing agent.
True friendship always purifes. 1t cheers, it
heals, it strengthens. 1t puts evil passions to
sleep and awakenS hOlier emotions. Friendship
is the best college from which character can
graduate.

Is ReligiOn Valuable?

Such query came to the writer as he
once returned from the funeral of a
man past three-score and ten. In the
past he had followed many to the grave,
among them child of his, which was
accidentally killed; he had beheld the
corpse of another who was drowned;
and little later the third was taken,
and then death claimed him. Politic-
ally he stood high, socially he was a
favorite, upright in many ways and
looked upon as leading citizen of the
county. Land, houses and money he
possessed to the value of $4,000 or
more. He gave evasive answers to
ministers and friends who repeatedly
told him of the lone thing thou lack
est" So, after seventy years, the last
enemy came, and before it seized him
the victim prayed earnestly and ex-
claimed, "I'W gi0e everything I'm
aOorth (that meant socially, politically
and financially for religion; Thus the
query came, "Is religion valuable"

Experience with Convicts.

In 1880 boy was born in an obscure
house in'what was then a disreputable
street in the city of Boston. His moth
er, who was never strong, and who had
probably weakened herself from dissi-
patton, died before he reached his
eighth year. His father was profess
siOnal thief, and brought his son up to
follow in his footsteps. The only edu-
cation the boy ever received was in that
direction.
He early developed into shrewd
cunning and successful thief At ten
years old he would have surprised even
the noted Mr.. Fagin by his dexterity.
His career though brilliant was brief
In 1916 father and son, the latter then
only sixteen years of age, were commit
ted to the state prison, the first for five
the latter for two, years, for rObbing
store. In consequence of his YOUTH
and of his being bright, sharp -witted
fellow, he received agreat deal of SYM
pathy, and was finally pardoned.
He was discharged from the prison
with one dollar in his pocket. He had
no home nor friend in the wide world,
outside of his criminal associates, to
whom he could apply for advice or as
sistance. AS matter of course he
went back to his old friends.
Success attented him for some time,
but before he reached his twentieth
year he was again arrested. He had
become so noted that the district attOr-
ney felt justified in pursuing an unusu-
al cOurSe-that of making each one of
eight larcenieS a separate charge against
him. He was convicted upon each
count, and was sentenced to the state
prison for thirty years.
Fortunately for him, he looked upon
the bright side. He proved to be per-
severing and Industrious, and became
an excellent workman.
Reserved and quiet, he had no COM
municatiOn with the other cOnvicts,
and seldom asked favor, Obeying the
rules faithfully except in one respect.
Having been once pardOned, he had
no hope, for many years at least in that
direction: his only chance of freedom
was to escape, and he was frequently
detected in some scheme for that pur-
pose.
But unlike others engaged in such
plans, no dangerous weapons were ever
found upon him. A long time of un-
usual quietness, on one occasion, led
me to suspect that, like the calm, it was
the forerunner of a storm. l became
satisfied that he was making quiet
preparations to escape, but how or in
what manner | could not conceive. He
had nothing in his cell except table,
high cricket and Bible. had examined
these very carefully many times with
out being able to discover anything
wrong.
One day, noticed that the heads of
the nails in his seat, which was made of
inch board, were covered with putty.
On removing the putty from one of
them, l found that the seat was fast
'ened with screws instead of nails.
With screw-driver | removed one of
the side pieces which secured the legs,

never tires looking at it. There is none of the
tendency to corpulency, so conspicuous in later
portraits, and, while the features are the same
as in later life, it is not the Napoleon the world
knows. 1t was thus he looked during his
early life in Paris when his imperious and
naughty manner and indifference to the flat
terry OF women made him some lasting enemies
among the brilliant DANES of the Frencc CAPT
tai.

from painting representing the first consul

thrust careessly into lis loosenad vesr-a posi-
ton so common to him. Beyond this char
arcteristic position, and the cooked hat, there
is little striking in the picture that can be
reproduced in cut, but even here
is noticed the nearer likeness to the
Emperor Napoleon, which comes last. The
boyish look is gone, and in its place is the
mature expression of the man.

of his career, the following picture is given:

life they had their revenge on him, when
their armies had been driven from tho field in
rout, by circulating reports on his private life
which would have gsaced the salacious repC-
tation of the Borgias And after his
death there were nations whose authors,
not magnanimous enough to be fair, stroye to
heap opprobium on his name. He was not per-
mitted to fully achieve his purposes, and their
ultimate end must ever remain unknown.
From the zenith Of his power in four short
years he lost all. The causes of his downfall
are spread on the pages of a hundred histories
Whether his fall was due to unbOunded am
bition, or to the relentless attacks OF monarcheS
whose thrones his example threatened and
who wished to give by his overthrow warn
ing object lesson, or whether Hugo's grandilo-
qucnt theory that his greatness overbalanced
the plan of the universe, and that his doom
was written from high heaven, be the true
one, must rest with the individual student
All theories have their following, and now
ones spring apace. But after all is said, there
will be no estimate of utter truth formed OF
his character until time shall have sifted the
evidence and national prejudiCes have died.
1t was in 1903 that the first portrait given
here was printed. 1t is by Gerard, and there
is little trace on the handsome features of the
grave state cares and severe campaigns OF the
last five years. 1t is handsome, thoughtful
face, with the trace of youth full on 1t, and one

From this it is but q step to the Emperor
Napoleon, as painted by Gerard, with the inn
perial robes around him, and tho laurel wreath
upon his brow. 1t is Napoleon at the height
OF his career-emperor OF the French and con-
Querer of Europe
1t is not an expressive face that the artist
has caught, and has too much of the quiet,
picture gallery look about it. How different
from the following picture OF the emperor,
which has all the expression OF that face
which rises in the mind Involuntary at the
mention of his name-the bold, clear glance,
firm lips projecting eyebrows, slightly drawn
together as if attentive. and the determined
set of the chin, with the stern. thoughtful ex-
preston over all, as if the destines of nations
were on his mind. 1t is the Napoleon of
Austerltz, and Eylau, and Wagram, and a
hundred victories in field and cabinet. 1t is
Napoleon the emperor.
1t is pleasant change from the real to the
imaginative in the career of Napoleon, as pre-
scented by art For among imaginary pictures
are classed all those famous battle pieces
taken from the history of his campaigns. The
world is full of them, from the stately paint
ings in the art galleries to the cheap engrav-
ings and photographic reproductions which are
spread broadcast over the civilized world.
And whether it be a picture OF an army crossing
the Alps, or the great desert, with the pyramids
towering in the background, or a struggle on
the snoW-ciad plains of Russia or Poland there
is ever present the familiar figure, with the
huge great coat and cooked hat, with the
right hand thrust into his bosom, and with the
expression of deep thought on his face.
There is one picture with which all are

familiar 1t is "Napolcou at Waterloo" when
the rout of the panic-stricken army is break
ing on all sides. Men arc throwing away
arms and baggage in thor desperate flight, in
tent on escaping the plunging shell of the
cavalry. But the involuntary cry of "Vive
confusion, rs they pass the figure sitting mo-
tionless on the white charger, looking with
dazed but undaunted face on the panic
stricken army. Tho artist seems to have
caught the very instant described by Hugo's
famous sentence ut was Napoleon, mighty
somnambulist of a vanished dream, still strly-
ing 10 advance"
There is q painting by Richardson, evil
IDENTIFY portrayal of that dramatic scene when
he looked on Europe for the last time. 1t
represents Napoleon standing on the deck of a
British man-of-war. Behind him, at
a respectful distance. with hats off,
is group of the ships officers. In the
distance is the coast of France, fast van
ishing. It is picture of the moment when
for the last time Napoleon looked on the world
where lie mad played his last part. History
tells Us that as the coast became q dim line
on the horizon, he slowly lifted his hat and
said: Land of the brave, I salute thee. Fare
well! France, FAREWELL" Then, turning,
went alone to his cabin leaving the world be-
hind him forever.
The nevcr-faiing interest which his face
arouses still makes it o fayorito theme for tho
artist, and the genius of generations yet UNI
born will get its inspiration from the dramatic
scenes of his career.

His Illustrated Career as Found in the
Paintings and Engrayings Of the
World

There is no face in the civilized world which
is so well known as that Of Napoleon Bona
parte, and certainly. noe which attracts the
attention so surely. WheLherit be painting,
or ali engraving, or n newspaper illustration,
the minute the eye detects it, II pauscs there.
1t would mako an interesting study to ar
range life of Napoleon as told by the artist.
The life of no man has ever been illustrated so
thoroughly, from the time when he first at
tracted the attention OF the world to the day
when, with every demonstration OF nations
grief, his ashes We're placed to rest
beneath the dome of the Invaiides.
The brush Of the artist has been more just to
him than the pen of the historian. An artist
is by nature hero worsiiner, and seldom
seeks to deiract from greatness. But there are
historians whose first purpose seems to be to
attribute sinister motives to every act of n
great man, and in no case has this been moro
plainly shown than in the attacks of tn
authors of allied Europe on Napoleon. In

adelphia actuary, who is best known as an au-
thority on this subject. The state has taken
cognizance of their growth and is legislating
to protect the interests OF depositors in a very
thorough way, and the effect has been to in
crease the public confidence in these initltu-
tions. Like the insurance companies they
have come to stay. They are accommodating
vast funds which are constantly invested in a
way to stimulate industry. Atlanta, which 10
one of the great centers of these Institutions is
becoming as much q city of homes as Phila-
delphia. 1t is hard to find man who does
not own lot and few who are not trying to
build home
The building and loan associations are to be
credited with q largo proportion OF the 2,IOO
houses built in Atlanta within three years.
There is one very unsatisfactory feature IN
this business. 1t has done wonders for the
cities and towns, but so far it has done moth
ing for the country districts The farmers OF
tho southern states have an individual mort.
gaced debt of nearly three hundred millions
In some states Mr.. Porters census shows 1T to
be more than thirty millions for town and
country. This does not include the crop and
stock mortgages and the open accounts bearing
interest.
Until the farmers start something similar to
the buildiug and loan associations, and so ac-
emulate sinking fund and loan fund to-
gether. they will continue to carry heavy
load Such things have been done. The
Raiffaissen loan fund unions Of Germany have
been q great blessing to the small farmers,
whom it rescued from the clutches Of usurerS.
The subject is worthy the best thought OF our
ablest business men, and it is to be hoped that
they will give it their attention.

about it altogether foreign to most pictures of

his alien birth. No native Frenchman could
ever have looked like this. There is little
trace of refinement in tho sulen, yet
fierce expression; and yet there is in it
perfect expression of much of his character.
