de Was the AbIest and Most Cour
aseous of the Emperor's Brothers.
TIL younger brother had, after the
irst Juvenile heats of radicalism. be-
come a moderate republican, holding
his convictions resolutely. Having OPP
posed the hereditary consulate for Ma
poleon, he withdrew, unmindful of any
reward he might have claimed for his
services of Brumaire, to lead a life of
study and cultivate his Unborn literary
tastes. On the death of his first wife,
by whom he had two daughters, he
married, in direct opposition to Ma
~poleon's wishes. the beautiful and ac-
,omplished Nine. de Jauberthon. This
was In 1903; he had been im%portuned
to put her away and lend himself to
the project Of bu~ttressing the empire
by himself accepting a crown and con-
tracting a royal marriage. He was by
far the ablest and most courageous OF
the Bonaparte brothers, but his heart
was true. his principles were fixed, and
he was utterly Indifferent to the rise OF
Napoleonic empire.
1t was with reluctance that he came
to Mantua. There are two accounts of
what happened there-that which has
long been accepted of Napoleon offer
ing and Eucien hotly refusing the
crown of Portugal, with the hand of
Prince Ferdinand for his daughter
Charlotte; and that which makes the
arst offer to have been Etruria. Both
accounts agree, however, that the bid
was raised to the promise of ltaly-all
on condition that he should divorce his
wife and rule in the interest of his
brothers imperial power. Lucien dis
dained even this bride, declaring that
he would accept the crown, but thai he
would rule In the interests Of his sub
jects, and that he would in no case con-
slider a divorce. Angry words were
spoken. Napoleon crushed in his hand
a watch with which he had been toy
ing, kissing out that thus he would
crush wills which opposed his. Il

Lucien.

Of about IA, was sent to live with
Madame Mere. She was thoroughly
disconnected and wrote bright, sarcas-
tic letters TO her stapmother, whom she
loved, depicting the avarice of her
grandmother and the foibles OF her
other relatives. These, like all other
suspected letters OF the time, were in

1t is q little odd says an Abilene,
Kansas, writer, that the very ele-

envy Of the Western farmer should be
harnessed into increasing his prop

prairie agriculture. Since the sett-
ler's wagon first crossed the plains
the n~ever-resting winds have been
the bane of crop growing. Their
ceaseless drain on the supply OF
moisture In the new lands has left
the grain without nutriment aud
shortened the crops year after wear
until many a settler grew discour-
aged and journeyed 'Fback East to

developed a remedy. Surveyors have
found that the water supply OF
Western Kansas and Nebraska has
Its source in the rainfall and is ca.
lected in basins formed by impervious
strata, generally at elevations far
above that Of the river bottoms. To
raise this to the surface windmills
are being adopted and hundreds OF
them are waving their long fans in
the prairie claims, lifting the water
to the ields and gardens OF the farms.
The cost of mill and pump Is less
than 81 per acre for a claim. 1t has
been shown by practical experiments
that a mill will easily irrigate from
one to three acres of ground and by
conducting the water to reservoirs,

WHY WAS 1T WITHDRAWN?
If 1t Was Right to Bring the Suit Last
Summer it is Right Now.

The Warrenton Gazette speaks out
in no uncertain tone as follows:
about eight months ago the direc-
tors Of the North Carolina (State) r. r.
leased the same to the Southern, the
old Richmond and Danville road for
ninety-nine years. We thought then,
as we now think, that the lease should
not have been made, and so thought
the Alliance, for at its State conven-
ton in Greensboro last summer, it
instructed Mr.. John Graham, of Ridge
way, to bring suit to cancel the lease.
Mr.. Graham brought suit in Wake
court, but on Monday or Tuesday last,
withdrew his suit. If it was right to
bring the suit last summer, does not
the same right for prosecuting it now
hold good? The public viii doubtless
be glad to know the Alliances reasons
for withdrawing from the suit OF
course Mr. Graham was acting all the
while under it's direction"

WHAT is THE NATTER?

It is getting worse and worse. The
negro Barrfeld, who murdered his wife
in Beaufort county some weeks ago,
gets only nine years in the peniten-
tiary. He WAS tried some years ago
for another murder and acquitted on a
technieality.
Not great while ago a man was
lynched in Beaufort county, and the
press and the people denounced those
who took the punishment of criminals
into their own hands. They were
urged to let the executions be after
trial by jury. Since then the Bonner
murderers, Barrfield and others have
escaped without punishment common
surate with their crime.
What is the matter? Has a maWk-
ish sentimentality against the punish
ment of criminals gotten possession
of the people? Has the anarchy in
politics permeated the execution of the
law? Has the law lost its effect?
Whittier are we drifting to anarchy
or to universal forgiveness of muir
derers?
