And your forehead lily-fair,
And your eyes are just as, blue

Rosy lips they used to kiss,
And they'll deem you much too rare

And their baby fingers bring

THE NAPOLEON REVIVAL.

Why the Emperor LIS the Most Popular
Character In History.
Within the past year there has been
revival of interest in the career OF
Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
ured in the pages of memoirs and rem
iniscences by those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been po-
tent inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price
less all pictorial records of his time. In
the drama he poses as the most pictur-
esque figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relics of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price. AS Paul
Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again"
In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco-P russian war turned the
thoughts of all to their period of great
est glory, and SO it needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature of the Ma
poleon revival in this country.
The Century's life of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago, before
anyone could have foreseen the pres.
ent attitude Of the public mind. 1t
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque charac-
tiers in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate
ly represented. For that reason Prof.
William NJ. Sloane, the greatest Amer
lean student of French history, was
commissioned to write the life. and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his COM
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof. Sloane shows us a
new Napoleon, devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef-
fectual Corsican political agitator, but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre-
hended.
