lishman, nor did he become sailor, but
as French soldier he rose to the rank
of general of brigade at the age of %
years. Then he came near becoming a
Turkish soldier. That was another pos
sibility Of q change in that current of the
worlds history which owes so much of
it's direction to the life of this singular
man. 1t is no part of the story of Ma
pOleon's boyhood to tell how he rose to
the rank of general, nor what struggles
he had to endure even then through the
rivalry and jealousy of others. But only
to show how the song from the opera of
"Pinafore" can be made to apply to him.
it seems not out of place to state here
that in May, 1905, he found himself
without q commission.
In spite of his rapid rise in the army
he was till poor; and at last, after six
months of idleness, he contemplated Of
fering his services to the Sultan of Tur-
key for the purpose of recognizing the
Turkish artillery. He intended to so
under the auspices of the French repub-
lie, and yet, if one of the stories told of
him is true, he was thinking more of
himself than of the interests of France
or any other country. He had asked the
French authorities to send him to Con-
stantinople on the recognizing mission,
which, he said, would aid France by
making Turkey more formidable oppO-
nent of Russia, whose growing power
was feared. How strange it would be-"
he is reported to have said to a friend
''if a little Corsican officer were to be-
come King of jerusalem But the
French government did not give him the
chance to take his sword in hand once
more, and he rose to a higher throne

Was Very Unjust.

''Will you let me know when we get to
Pitcher street," asked a woman of a
Cass avenue car conductor. Ten minutes
later the conductor rang the bell and
baWled out: pitcher streetr' The

shrieked the conductor. The woman
stared at him, but did not rise. MADAM,
this is Pitcher street. You want to get
out here? ''La, no; I want to get off
at Selden avenue, and I was told that it
was the third street from Pitcher. and I
thought that if you let me know when we
got to Pitcher / could count the streets
up to Selden and not trouble you when
we got there-that's all, thanks" The
conductor nearly broke the bell rope ring

about the vagares of womankind in gen
eral were little severe and unjust.-De-

SWALLOWED BY AN ALLIGATOR.

Than Fiction.

A Story Showing that Truth is Stranger
Than Fiction.
Most of the alligator stories we get
from Florida are frauds, but here is a true
one, fresh from Sanford and not far from
Auburndale, where Judge Teall had his
groves. 1t happened near the mouth of
Dunns creek. Young Roland had wan
dered away from his parents and an ALI.
gator made for him. The child started to
run, but, stumbling, fell head first imme-
dlately in front of the reptile, which swal-
lowed him at once.
Young ROland's screams were heard,
and the parents reached the scene just in
time to see the disappearance of their son
down the huge throat of the saurian. The
father, never dreaming that the boy was
not killed, shot the alligator, the ball. for
tunately, striking him in the eye and pene-
trating the brain.
The feet of the boy were protruding
from the mouth of the dead alligator and
with the thought of only obtaining his re-
mains for burial, the reptile was cut open.
There were signs of life, and after several
hours of hard work the father succeeded
IN resuscitating the boy, the only serious
injury being to his ankles, which had been
crushed by the reptiles teeth when he was
in the throes of death.
Since that time Roland has been Grip
pie, but only to the extent of having to
wear steel braces on his ankles. = Eau

in that direction. The navy was a pop
ular branch of the French service, and ap-
pointments to it were not easy to secure.
Had Napoleon entered even the French
navy the history of the past 100 years
might have been written very differently
But suppose he had become an English
mani Among his schoolmates at Brienne
was young Englishman, to whom he
showed one day a letter written in very
fair English, and addressed to the Eng
lish admiralty, asking for an appointment
in the navy of that country. 1t is said
that the letter is preserved in the British
admiralty office. But Napoleon never trod
the deck of a British man-of-war except
as prisoner on board the Bellerophon.
At one time, in after life, he contem-
plated a visit to England at the head Of
an invading force, bat his only visit to
that country was made as a captive on
the ship just named. Had his desire to
enter the naval service of the country
been gratified he would have been a junior
to the great Admiral Nelson, who was al
ready young officer in the British navy,
and who rose to high rank and won fame
in the wars which Napoleon made in
later years. Had Napoleon become a
British sailor he would never have worn
a crown nor placed others of his family
upon thrones. But he would never have
been a prisoner on the Bellerophon, an
exile on the island of Elba, nor died, a
broken and lonely man, on the island of
st. Helena
1t is not easy to think of Napoleon as
sailor, especially when we consider the
strong soldierly qualities that marked his
career at Brienne. Sailors do not plan
Notifications, as he did, nor direct the
movement of troops, as he showed he
could. In his fifteenth year he was one
of five scholars chosen to be passed to
the military school at Paris to complete
their education In the report on which
his selection was based it was stated
that he would make capital sea officer.
Well, Napoleon did not become an Eng

THE BANGOR GIRLS.
And u Few Incidental Remarks About
Prohibition Whisky.


Prohibition Whisky.
It may not be generally known, but
Bangor has an admirable system of
waterworks, not whisky but waterworks
"Why do you mention whisky, papa;
do the people drink in Bangor?
Eyes, Rollo, sometimes, when they
can't find a funnel handy"
And they do have places where they
sell the Intoxicating fluid, papa?'
Just a few, Rollo; only about 200
Some might think there were DAG, but
there are only 200"
''And do they sell drop of liquor to
any one who asks for it, papa?"
mo- Rollo, they don't sell a drop. Moth
ing goes over the counter less than a
glass. SO you see, Rollo, the restrictions
are very binding"
Don't they have law that don't al
low people in Maine to sell liquor, pa
pa?"
Yes, Rollo, they have, but somebody
forgot to tell Bangor about it."
You've heard of the Bangor girls? They
are proverbial. MetaphOrically speaking,
every daughter of Eve in the Queen City
wears a bloom Of health, pair of large
speaking orbs and two lovely breakdown
cheeks. Whether this is due to the ozonc
influences of the atmosphere or the I'M
usual richness of the soil, certain it is
that Venuses and Dianas and Hebes come
marching up the street some days in
solid phalanX. There are girls upon girls,
and they are all handsome.-Biddefor

to belong to some other nation. What is
singular about the matter is that the ma
ton to which he desired to belong was
the English, which was the chief instru-
ment in breaking the immense power he
attained only a few years later as first
consul and then as Emperor of France
The life of a soldier was not what he had
looked forward to when he went to the
Royal Military school at Brienne. To
be naval officer was his ambition, and
he looked forward to an appointment in

IN DAYS OF YORE.

When an eminent reformer gets elected to a
place
Which the public is assured that his abilities
will grace,
And he tackles the position
There arises a suspicion
For suspicion in these days is never easy to
diSplace.
It is just simple question that gets up to
take the hoor;
a weird interrogation that has bothered
men of yore;
When he tackles the position
Will he be a politician
Or remain the good reformer that he was
in days of yore? Washington Star.

velvet, in trimmings of strauss diamonds
and point lace.
The complete revival of the ostrich
plume is to be noted. Great clusters of
nodding plumes soften the brims of the
Fifteenth Century hats, which are in
variably decorated also with a huge ball
of straws, diamonds or the long, slender
buckle of steel. The pleated Trianon brim
gives to the medium-sized bonnet a youth
full appearance. Some of the most charm
ing of these hats have the crown COM
posed of black satin and chenille braid,
with big pointed bows of emerald velvet
and a cluster of Jacqueminot roses resting
low on the hair at the back; a great jet
spike, which is thrust entirely through the
bonnet, keeps it firmly on the head.
The tiara of diamonds is losing it's vogue
somewhat. But what q woman of so
ciety absolutely must have is a diamond
comb. 1t is now the most fashionable of
ornaments. In London, by-the-way, jew
elers are complaining bitterly of the ces-
sation of demand for their goods. People
buy inexpensive things; but the costlier
ornaments are so little in request that
when one is sold the price is put at an
outrageous figure to solace the jeweler for
his idle capital.

JAPANESE WAR SONG.
1t Lacks Poetry and Harmony, but Scares

IL Lacks FOetry and harmony, but ScareS
the Chinese.
To incite the japanese troops to do
brave deeds their war Office has issued a
number of war songs. They cannot be
described as being very martial, nor can
they be said to have much poetry in them;
but still, this is hardly to be expected,
considering they have been manufactured
by an official in the japanese war office,
which is not exactly the place to look for
poetic talent. One of the songs, entitled,
''Strike and Chastise China" begins thus
e Strike Ike and chastise the &c, Chinese troops
government of China, which spurns the
honorable friendship of the empire and
offers resistance to the empire However
great their armies in number, they are in
reality an undisciplined rabble, and, how
ever fine their arms look, they are use
less, like fine ladies in pictures
