NAPoLEoN's LAST WORDS.
The Dying Thoughts of the Man Whom
Europe Feared.

The Dying Thoughts of the Man Whom
Europe Feared.
On his deathbed Napoleon expressed
like the proud republic of Venice.
With perfect composure he gave his
last directions: 81 desire that You will
take my heart, put it in spirits of wine
and carry it to Parma to my dear Marie
Louise. Yon will tell her that I never
ceased to love her and relate to her ev.
cry particular respecting my death up.
on this miserable and dreary rock. You
will tell my mother and family that the
great Napoleon expired in the most de.
plorable state, deprived Of everything,
abandoned to himself and to his glory,
and that he bequeathed with his dying
breath to all the reigning families of
Europe the horror and opprobrium Of
his death. .
The second codicil of his will con-
tanned the direction, which was after
ward complied with, "It is my wish
that my ashes may repose on the banks
of the Seine, in the midst of the French
people, whom I love so we'll"
On the 5th of May, 1921, he who had
for years kept all Europe in state of
feverish excitement terminated his
earthly career.
After lying in state two days the
body was deposited in a coffin composed
first Of tin lined with white satin,
which, having been soldered, was inclos-
ed in another Of mahogany, third of
lead, and the whole in fourth of ma
hogany secured with iron screws. After
the ceremony an enormous stone was
lowered over the body, resting on a
stone wall SO as to escape the coffin.
On the 18th OF May Louis Philippe
commanded that the ashes of Napoleon
be conveyed to France. In his commu-
nication he said: "Henceforth France
alone will possess all that remains of
Napoleon. His tomb, like his fame, will
belong to none but his country.
At II O'Clock, Dec. Is, the first can
non was heard announcing that the re-
mains of the emperor had reached
French ground Amid the vast assem-
blage the body was borne by "a seamen
to its last resting place in the Hotel DIES
Invalides.
So closed the eyentful career Of the
great Napoleon, whose memory can on
~ perish with the records of the world

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Mr.. wingleby Explains to George About
the Seasons.

Mr.. Wingleby Explains to Georgia About
the Seasons.
You see, George, said Mr.. Win
gleby, whose youthful son had asked
him how we came to have different
kinds of weather, "the weather is put
up in tin cans, days weather to IA
can, and usually they put up about a
years supply ahead, enough to last
through a spring, summer, autumn and
winter. In filling the cans they sort it
all out as well as possible. Sometimes
when they get can full there may be a
little left over, and whatever remains
in this way they throw into one lot.
When they've got pretty nearly all the
cans full and the regular stock of wealth
er has run out, they fill up from that
lot of odds and ends. The cans so filled
contain what is called variable weather,
because it's mixed, but most of the
weather they get pretty well sorted out
according to the season.
When they've got all the cans filled,
they stack 'em up where they'll be
handy to get at, and there's man that
does nothing but open them. Every day
he cuts can and pours out the weather
for that day. and of course great deal
depends upon him. Sometimes this man
gets careless and pulls down lot of the
wrong cans, getting them, say, from the
July shelf in the month of April and
likely as not getting down week S
supply at once, so as to have them handy
ON the opening table. OF course he dis
covers his mistake the first can he opens,
but be is too lazy to put the rest back,
and SO he keeps on then until he has
opened them all, and that's how i
comes about, as it sometimes does, that
we get a hot spell at season when we
ought to have nothing but cool weather
But of course those April cans are
not lost. They must be around some
where, and we get EN- later. Maybe
the man will sprinkle them along with
the hope that we won't notice them
much, but as likely as not he opens
them one after another together, maybe
after some terribly hot spell in July or
August when they are sure to be a
blessed relief, and if he does this we are
pretty apt to forgive him his mistake III

ATHLETE AND SCULPTOR.

A Tale of James E. KelIy's Powers, as Re-
lated by q Friend.
Although he is not large physically,
several good stories are told about the
prowess Of James E. Kelly, the sculp-

Pitcher, General Buford at Gettysburg,
1.-THE Battle of Harlem Heights and
"Sheridan's Ride have brought him
fame A friend of his said of him:
He has more courage to the square
inch than any man of his size know,
and on several occasions he has been
called upon to show it unexpectedly.
One day an expressman, six feet
high and strong in proportion, invaded
his studio. The expressman had over
charged the sculptor, and the latter de-
sired to refer the matter to the main
Office. When the irate expressman en-
tered, it happened that tall friend of
the artist was visiting the studio With
an oath the expressman said that he
had come for satisfaction.
'.'I intend to smash yeu to smither-
Gems, he CALCULATED shaking his fist
and advancing toward the sculptor.
Do not wait moment, answered
Kelly.
1.-THE big man sprang at the artist,
and at this critical moment the tall
form ct the latter's friend vanished
through the back door. Quick as flash
the sculptor jumped behind the enraged
expressman, seized him by the back of
the neck. and with all the strength he
could summon pushed the burly fellow
to the front door and kicked him into
the street 1t was all done SO quickly
that the bellicose intruder hardly knew
how it happened. He fell on the side

up and ran away. The sculptor return
ed to his work, and after few min
utes his vanishing friend entered tim
idly from the rear.
What have you done with that
Goliath?' he asked. You know / have
heart trouble and cannot stand scenes,
and SO went out to keep calm.

in following an evasiye foe, has always

On one occasion two Goorkha scouts

the two Goorkhas were missing.
Their comrades mourned them for a

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-Ln your issue

wish to make reply.
Mr.. Outcslt, chairman of the COM
mittee, is stated to have made the re-
port that he had In his possession q
letter giving the plan of the lobbies to
defeat legislation; "that Cy Leland
was at the head Of the Iobbies, and that
it was the intention to defeat the
Jaquins stock yards bill In the Senate,
but that it failed because Of the action
of Jumper and Titus" This is the
same charge as reported at the time,
made by TutcheT and Boyd, that GER
tain Senators had been "fixed," but
with this addition, that the action of
Jumper and Titus intimidsted them,
so they failed to deliver the goods.
Mr.. Outcalt complains Of the COM
mlttee being hRmpered and assaulted
by the daily press, but 1t seems strange
that no effort was made to put Boyd

Some Forms and Ceremonies in Vogue at
the Beginning of Our Government.

Some Forms and Ceremonies in Vogue at
the Beginning Of Our Government.
EDITOR ADvOCATE:-Allow me to
recall some facts and circumstances
showing important changes in the
forms and ceremonies as we'll as con.
duct of our general G Government, known
to but few, but which should be known
to all.
First, the organization of our Gov.
ernment developed a strong leaning to
monarchy on the part of many of those
called to its administration, and they
strOVe hard to give it trend in that
direction. Jefferson records incidents
illustrating this procllvity, and says
that on his arrival at New York (the
then capitsD to take part in the admin
istration as Secretary of State, he was
sstonished at what he heard to this
effect and very much discouraged and
disappointed in his hopes and views Of
plain democratic government devoid
of the glitter and tinsel and pretention
of monarchy, For example, as the
Government started off, the Senate be-
came engrossed with the question Of
title or proper address to be applied to
the President, Vice President and
other dignitaries and their wives, and
the discussion waXed warm over The
Honorable and The Right Honorable,
His Excellency and His Supreme Ex-
cellency, and His Highness and Her
Highness; but plain, unostentatiOus
Vepublicanism finally prevailed, and all
proposals In this line were consigned
to the limbos Of other monsrchicsl
trash which they had fought their way
out Of and rejected. In pursuance Of
this spirit and tendency it was pro-
posed and established for q time by the
tiunkey admirers of royalty that the
President and wife should appear at
balls and other public receptions seated
on raised dsis or elevated platform
which everyone on their arrival should
approach and make their obeisance in
thorough kingly style; but such Demo.

deseutude" where It has since re.
mained.
How few know that In the beginning
Of the Government the President deliV.
cred his message in person to the two
houses assembled for that purpose, In
stead of by written communication aa
In our dsyP And still fewer know that
the first President appeared on the
floor Of the Senate for time and par
ticipated In the discussion of public
questions, till the rejection of some of
his views led to his withdrawal and
abandonment Of the practice.
And how many know that the great
American patriot, Robert Morris, who
sacrificed his own fortune In the dark
days OF our Revolution to raise money
for our starving and barefoot soldiers,
and who was WaShington's first ap-
pOintee for Secretary of the Treasury,
died on the limits Chat Is, In jaill for
inability to pay his debtsp
Again, to show how little faith the
conservative and business portion of
our people had in our government at
its starting off, Alexander Hamilton as
late as 1902 writes his friend, Gouver-
neur Morris, that "I am still engaged
In propping up the frRil and worthless
thing" alluding to our Government
and constitution.
And who would believe that the
members Of the lower house Of Con-
gress originally sat with their hats on,

authority and power In the Govern.
ment. l have now before me the letter
Of a relative and member of the goth
Congress, which reads as follows:
"KEEsEvILLE, N. Y, Nov. 27, 1876.
"DEAR SIR-In answer to your In

Senators and Judges Of the Supreme

reason. He replied that the House of

power in the Government for 1t to un.
