profitable and interesting. Already there

wasting agent for the society; A. j. Harris

The result is interesting as showing the
contrast between the Harrison and Cleve-
land years. 1t shows net profits under
Harrison of $l1S54750, against $50, 9O236 I'M
der Cleveland a difference of $57, 645.14. The
gentleman who furnishes these figures
knows of no reason for the disparity except
the general prosperity during the Harrison
administration and the general depression
and stagnation during the Cleveland admin
istration. AS these causes were of general
operation he concluded that business in gem
eral affected in about the same proper
ton that his business was. In his own
case he was $51 ,645.14 short under the Cleve-
land administration, as against that of
Harrison. He hopes to recover a large part
of this loss during the Mckinley admins
tration.

The arrangements for the Junior flower
service Sunday morning have been heartily
compimented by the leaders in the c. E.
work here The programme, which is ex-
tremely unique, was made up by Mrs.
Brown, of Muncie. the Junior state superin-
tendent, and is entirely original. The chill
dren representing the various flowers will
carry large baskets of pansies in their
march about the Winona grounds, hating
ar the chapel Here the flower service will
be enacted. with lessons from the flowers.
At the chapel the little ones will meet a
swarm of Bible bees--"Be We doors of the
word" BE We wise as serpents" and
others. Then comes a march TO the audi
forum. where they will carpet the platform
with flowers and remain for the regular
morning service. The scheme is a new one
and will doubtless prove very effective.
While good leaders for the music of the
seniors have been enjoyed the youngsters
have not been forgotten. Mrs. Emma Hesty
Gamble, of Pendelton is the leader of the
Junior chorus and Miss Eta Gamble acts
as pianist. The singing of the little ones
is remarkably good.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In the issue of the Journal for Aug. %
is an account of "a rare Indiana book dis
covered by State Librarian Henry in WASH
ington county, being a Life of Napoleon
Bonaparte," published in Salem, Ind, in
1918, by some person who conceals his
name but subscribes himself "A citizen Of
the United States" l was reading this
article to friend of mine who lived for
many years in Philadelphia, when he ex-
pressed the opinion that he could name the
author OF the Salem book, and thereupon
related the following facts about a man
whom he knew well, with whom he often
conversed upon the Napoleonic wars, and
whom he heard deliver a lecture upon the
great Corsican. Colonel Lehmanowsky was
aid de camp to Marshal Ney at the bat
tie OF Waterloo. He had been soldier
Spain; he was a Pole by birth, fighting
under Napoleon in the hope that Bonaparte
would one day secure the liberty or his
country. He was condemned to be shot at
about the same time as Marshal Ney. but
escaped and took snip for the United
States He was shipwrecked finally reach
ing Philadelphia in extreme restitution in
the year 1915, from which city he Irregular

Indiana. He was a noble looking soldier
and fine specimen of manhood. except for

stroke of a Russian saber. So much IN

solicitation of General Lafayette, to whom
he was known. He died before the year

on Napoleon. My informant could not tell

The commission for the purpose of revis-
ing our currency system and so terrifying
it that it will not be subject to attack in
times of financial depression will be ready
to begin its work by the middle of Septem-
Der. The names of the members have not
yet been announced, but the Journal is as
sured that it is composed of some of the
strongest and most representative men of
the country, selected without reference to
political connections. The business of the
country is once more in good health and
now is the time to get rid of the causes of
disease. 1t is gratifying to all men who
want the business of the country to rest
upon firm basis to know that this move
ment is receiving the hearty support of the
leading men in agriculture and all lines of
commerce and productive industry. 1t has
been carried on thus far with intelligence,
skill and unremitting energy, and there is
every reason to believe that the outcome
will be a currency measure that will COM
mand the respect and confidence of the
American people, one that all can con-
scientiously join in supporting.

Judge Ryan. of Kentucky. was able to get
a press correspondent TO telegraph a syn

a boon for pensioners. but when the pay

1t is a little discreditable TO American en-
terprise that 1t should have been left for
an Italian mountain climber to be the first
person to reach the peak of Mount ST.
Elias, but Europeans have carried the art
of mountain climbing TO much greater per-
lection than we. Prince Luigi has a great
record in that line, and having come all
the way from Italy for the express purpose
of reaching the summit of Mount St. Elias
he could not afford to fail in the undertake
ing. 1t is probable he has made more Diff
ficult and dangerous ascents among the
Alps, though the highest peak of the Alps
Mont Blanc, is $500 feet lower than the
Alaska mountain. Prince Luigi's measure
ment of the height of ST. Elias 1920 feet
is probably as nearly exact as 1t will ever
be fixed. When the United States acquired
Alaska the height of the mountain was put
down on British official charts as II, 500 feet
The United States coast survey afterwards
made it 1850 feet Subsequently II was
placed at 1900 feet and in 1895 government
