CANCER KILLED NAPOLEON.
Lord woIseley Revives the Discus

Lord wolseiey has raised again the old
discussion Of this subject. says the
British Medical Journal. The nature OF
the first and last Illness OF Napoleon
Bonaparte is well known. but the pre-

which he suffered between those two
maladies remains a little uncertain. At

Epilepsy Is frequently mentioned as his

grounds. That disease In Its chronic

conditions which go to make up a great

THE CAR LIVES IN FEAR.

All men must some day die, and all

sleeps under the perpetual shadow Of
death, says the London Telegraph. If
half the accounts be true which come
from the splendid and solitary recesses
of the Russian palaces, no month passes
without some intimation that the
enemies of his throne and person can
menace him through all the triple bar
riers of guards and safeguards which
surround his Imperial Majesty.

HATS IN THE SOUTHWEST.
Sombreros Going Out of Date he
yond the Mississippi.

Nobody wears big sombreros nova
days but the cowboys on the ranches out

OF experience" remarked big, genial
George Storer at the Lindell to a st.
Louis Republic reporter. And Mr.. Storer
knows a thing or two about hats. fol-, ne
has been a travelling salesman In that
line for years.
Ten and fifteen years ago nearly
three-fourths of the male population in
the West and Southwest wore what are
popularity termed cowboy hats But
civilization, you know, affects the style
OF the hat, as well as the culture of the
brain beneath 1t. The Indian chief that
used to pride himself on his headgear Of
eagle feathers. having rubbed up against
civilization. now wants to wear the same
hat he sees the palefaces wear around
him-the cowboy hat.
THE countrymen down in Texas have
pushed ahead of the cowboy and lndian
a notch or two, and have thrown their
old SLOUGH aside for styles nearer the
Immense trade In sombreros in Texas,

there. but civilization Is having its effect.

Mark Twain, will eventually pass away

him.
"Oh. we learn the hin, start the sled

A JOKE ON THE JUDGE.
A Stranger Did Not Know TINT the
Jurist StuttereL.

Many anecdotes are remembered OF the
late Judge Thompson. OF Gloucester,
Mass. who died on the same day as
eN-Sov. Castor. Thompson was a good
s'ory-teller. says the Worcester Gazette,
but could not talk without suffering.
Judge Thompson always came up to the
Democratic State conventions, which
used to be held each year in Worcester,
and was always primed with good stories.
On one such occasion. the night before
the convention. In the Bay State House,
he was one OF a group OF men in the
lobby exchanging the latest stories, when
n newcomer to the circle broke In with:
II say, Judge, tell that suffering story
you told in the cars coming up"
The man was a stranEer to the Judge
up to that time. and had only met him
for a few minutes in the train from
Boston. Az the Judge never could. by
any possibility, tell a story that was
not a Suffering story" this unpre-
m%eiitated joke was considered the best
thing said that evening,
