Napoleon's Attempt at Suicide.

Since 1908 he had worn about his
neck as a kind of amulet little bag
said to contain a deadly poison, one OF
the salts Of prussic acid. That night,
when the terrors Of a shaken reason
overpowered him, 1t Is believed that he
swallowed the drug. Instead of OBJ
lIyion came agony, and his valet, rush
ing to his masters bedside at the sound
of a bitter cry, claimed to catch the
words: "Marmont has struck me the
final blow! Unhappy man, loved him!
Berthier's desertpn has broken my
heart! Ny old friends, my comrades
in armsw Ivan, the Emperor's body
phvsician. was summoned, and admin
jstered an antidote; the spasm was al
layed. and after a short sleep reason
resumed her seat. 1t is related in the
memoirs Of CaulaincOurt, and probably
with a sort of Homeric truth, that when
the reputed writer was admitted In the
early morning Napoleon's ivan and
sunken eyes seemed struggling to re-
call the objects round about; a uni
verse of torture was revealed In the
vaguely desolate look" Napoleon Is re-
ported as saying: "It is not the loss Of
the throne that makes existence unen-
durable; my military career suffices for
the glory of a single man. Do you
know what Is more difficult to bear
than the reverses Of fortune? 1t Is
the baseness, the horrible ingratitude,
of men. Before such acts Of cowardice,
before the shamelessness Of their ego
tism. l have turned away my head in
disgust and taken my life in horror.
What 1 have suffered for
twenty days no one can underestimate

How Evangelist Mills Became Famous
in the Black Hills.
Out at Central City in the Black Hills
B. FAY Mills fame as an evangelist IS
overshadowed by his reputation as
man Of nerve.
Mills went there as a newspaper cor

ton was opened to settlers. He TOOK
observations of the situation and the

for an Eastern syndicate. They met
the approval Of readers in New YORK
clubs and in Philadelphia boudolrs, Tor
they had the touch Of novelty and the
SAVIOR Of adventure. Not so with the
flannel-shlrted population of Central
City. The community did not ENJOY
having its little peculiarities brought
under the glare Of public observation
and it resolved to run the perpetrator
Of such outrages out of town.
The citizens resolved to besiege hin
in his log castle on the hill and to re-
solve with the Black Hills pioneers was
to do. 1t was not O half hour after
these summary proceedings were sllg-
gested before the coming evangelist
saw the entire population of Central
City filing up the hill, evidently bent
upon paying him a visit. He was ne"
to the country, but he had studied inc
idiosyncrasies of it's inhabitants long
enough to know what such formalltles
portended. He barred the door, loaded
his repeating rife and waited.
The commander Of the visiting forces
called upon him to surrender. The
only answer was the appearance OF the
cold muzzle Of q rifle at knot hole III
the door. The crowd fired few times
in sportive manner, but grew tired OF
wasting it's ammunition and 1t ,conclud-
ed to walt for developments. There
were none. The cold muzzle never lett

Mills was free man as far as his OWL

refralned from making himself visible

almost inaccessible part Of the noun

ing party must be sent to the relief OF
the imprisoned and dying miners. But
the way led through a forest that had
not even an Indian path as guide. IL

apprehended from Indians. Who would
lead the rescuing party? The bravest
of the denizens of Central City were

sympathy and Truth.

If a man cannot be really loyal to
truth without sympathy, neither can he
be truly kind and generous without
truthfulness. For, if he weakly yields
to every one, right or wrong, and Is
what Emerson calls "a muSh of con-
cession," be is not really helping or
strengthening or elevating any one; he
is only indulging his own ease by CIV
ing some one a cheap, unwholesome
and transitory pleasure. The courage
Of truthfulness Is one Of the most inn
portant elements in all social inter
course, and one Of the firmest founda-
lions Of all worthy friendship.

perable difficulties had furnished hlln
with the money he wasted no time III

Several years ago he commissioner
ranchmen in all the country from DIV
ish Columbia to Southern Colorauo'
and from Western Nebraska to the
Yellowstone. to capture for him INC
host snecime ems Of the few remaining

that In a few years the millionaire
Long Island railroad man had Inc
qualification of assembling in the biue
mountain forest Of New Hampshire a
collection of thirty-eight noble speci'
mems of the buffalo tribe. The herd
has now increased to seventy-four,
more than forty having been born ID
tbe New Hampshire forest, a few OF
which died.
This is the finest herd of buffalo In
America. Every one Of this herd, In

A Man Shipped in a Box Worked This
Scheme.
In the arrest OF Peter Nelson, alias W. T.
Johnson. T. W. Parker and ]. G. Miller. the
Chicago police think they have made catch
that has revealed one Of the most unique
robbing schemes ever practiced. The scheme
was to have a box marked "householC
goods" but which, in reality, contained
man, shipped from Chicago to some far
away city, addressed to W. It. Johnson.
The man in the box, who was supplied
with necessary tools. would, when far
enough away, come out Of the box, fill 1t
with merchandise from the car, make good
his escape while the box would 90 to It's
destination laden with merchandise, but
ahead of the box would go message order
ing is immediate return to Chicago. A box
thus sent to Chicago from Omaha was found
TO contain $500 worth of stolen shoes con-
signed to Kansas by the Cir cinnati Shoe
Company.
