Napoleon in Love.

When Napoleon was in love with Jo-
sephine he wrote to her from Italy that
he lived in perfect anguish because he
had not heard from her for nearly n
week. When, afterwards, he was in
love with Maria Louisa, he had a coat
made so Observation-Disclosures with gold
that he could not wear it; ordered new
boots so tight that they could not be
drawn over his feet, and devoted him
self so assiduously to learning the
waltz of which she was said TO be
fond. that it brought on an attack of
heart trouble. He was cured of his
love for Josephine by her innumerable
frivolities and intidelities. He never
doubted the fidelity of Maria Louisa,
and when the plainest proof of her in
trigue with Count Won Neipperg was
laid before him he refused to believe
it.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

a nice little trap, in which Abraham
should be caught beyond all hope OF
e~Xtrication.
SO, and very sensibly, with due re-
gard to the safety of his precious self,
reasoned Abraham Mailer.
And having reflected a few moments
furth,r, the peddler drew forth an OLD
and rusty pocketbook, tool from II Il
scrap of paper, which, after having
VIZ 'tten on it several lines, slowly and
deliberately he replaced in the pocket
book; then he brought from his waist
,oat pocket a very small key, when
he lodged beside the paper he had Just
written.
Abraham had no wish to withhold
from Stanley that important leaf, only
n certain price would have to be paid
for 1T, hat was all.
If Stanley ClaremOnt had laid Il tra3
for his associate, 1t was himself WHO
must be caught in it; II Stanley hAd
made alp his mind now to act like Il
rogue, he would find that he had TO do
with 4 rogue and a half-in a word, If
Stanley meditated treachery, Abraham
had now prepared the vengeance which
would follow it,
The peddler's next thought wae,
where could he leave, with whCla
could he entI7lst the means which he
had just prepared?
He looked around from shop TO shorL
and shook his head-not what he
wanted.
Presently his eye fell on a "Clean
your boOts!' who was waiting for Gus
toners at the corner Of the street
which was directly opposite to the
hotel now in question.
Couldn't be better the peddler said
to himself, crossing toward the black
Ing merchant.
AS Abraham neared his box, "Clean
your boo" began its owner, and then
stopped abruptly and seemingly dis.
gusted with himself for having COM
mepced Il question to a man who had
not more. than about one-third of a
pair of boots to his feet.
Just listen here a minute, young fell
low" Abraham addressed the lad.
We'll what's the matter with you,
my swell?' Clean your boots saucily
demanded.
How much longer shall you remain
here this evenings" inquired the ped
der.
Up to the very moment that l goes

Yes, but when shall you go away?"
"Just when / think proper"
You are not a very polite young gen

That's because l amt had the adj
vantageS of a bOardin' school edica-

the boy, with a derisive grin.
That's enough of your chaff," said
Abraham, who would not, under other
circumstances, have borne it so quiet
ly. Il have got something particular
to say to you"
