LITERARY NOTES.

In McClTe's Magazine for December, Miss
Tarbells second paper on Napoleon treats of
Napoleon's passionate love for Josephine in the
early period of their relations, and ofNapoleon's
swift rise to fame and supreme power through
his brilliant achievements in the Italian and
Egyptian campaigns, There are fourteen more
portraits ofNapoleon, showing him at different
times in this most interesting part of his c.
reer, and six other portraits, including one of
Josephine, most of these pictures being after
portraits from life by the great painters of the
time including David, Gros Appiari, Laurent,
and others. Then there is an excellent Christ
mas story, and story which, while not
Christmas story in point oftime, is preeminent-
ly one in spirit and conclusion More dramatic
though, than any story is Cleveland Mofets
history, drawn directly from the archives of the
Pinkerton Detective Bureau of''The Overthrow
ofthe Molly Maguires" throuLh Ii the inst-umen-
tally of Detective James Mcfarland, who, to
the risk of his life became member of the or

the man gave his prisoner the slip and

man had made his escape, so the poor

TO BE Made IL Test Case.

The case OF Charley Blattner against
the city of Cape Girardeau was tried
by a jury in Justice Kimmel's court
Tuesday and the jury returned a ver-
dict against the city. This case comes
from the city being too strict in its en-
fOrcement of the stock law. Charley
Blattner is a farmer. He resides about
two and a half miles from the city.
He keeps his stock on pastures. not
because there is any law compelling
him to do So. but because he has the
pastures and he believes in that way
of raising stock. Some of his cattle
broke out of a pasture and came to
town and by so doing insulted the
dignity of the city. The city official
whose duty it is to look after and i'm
pound stock caught the cattle and i'm
pounded them in accordance with the
stock ordinance. Mr.. Blattner went
to the stock pound and made a demand
for his cattle. The keeper of the pound
refused 70 give them up until his fees
for impoundingwere paid. Mr.. Biatt-
ner refused to pay the fee. and he then
went before Justice Kimmel and got
out q writ OF replevinand the constable
took possession of the cattle and re-
turned them to their owner.
Mr.. Blattner says he never intended
TO violate ORR city stock law. He did
TOT know his cattle were out Of his
pasture till he happened in town and
was told that they We're in the city
stock pound. He thinks that it is
wrong for him to have to pay for vio-
lating a law when ne never knowingly
violated the law and he is perfectly
willing to have this ease made a test
case in the higher courts.
