i NIGHT SONG.

Under the white moon, Nita,
The lilies lie awake,
And red bs blood in flower and bud,
And all for your sweet sako,s
The eager Iose o'erleaps the close
And clin bs the columned wall
To hide his face I'm the drifts OF lnco
That over your lattice fall.
The dead sweet scent Of the woodblne
Some languid breeze hath stirred,
And out of the dark, dew haunted park
Floats tho pipe Of restless bird,
And far and fIiat the gurglo and plant
OF the wood brook sounds alone
As listen and Pine for some answering
sign,
Some whisper of thinci my ownl
lie with the lilies, Nita,
Under thy lattice bars.
And the infinite night brims over
With the glory Of moon and stars,
And the wooing woodbine's passionate spice
Out Of the darkness blows
And faints and dies with tho mingled sighs
OF perfumod lily and roso.
Yet rest thoe, my beloved. since
No prayer OF mine may win
The crystal walls of slumbor
That shut thee softly in.
But, OH that tho mystic nneel
Who keepeth the poarly key
OF sleep would opon some door Of dreams
And lead thee, sweet, TO mel

NAPoLEoN'S LAST WORDS.

The Dying Thoughts of the Man Whom
Europe Feared.
On his deathbod Napoleon expressed
his conviction that England would end
like the proud republic Of Venice.
With perfect composure he gave his
last directions: II desire that you will
take my heart, put it in spirits Of wine
and carry it to Parma to my dear Mario
Louise You will tell her that 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 tho
great Napoleon expired in the most do
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 codioil Of his will con-
tanned the direction, which wa: aftor-
ward complied with, 1T is my wish
that my ashes may repose on the banks
Of the Seine, in the midst of the French
people, whom love so well. 4"
On tho 9TH of May, 1921, he who had
for years kept all Europe in q state of
feverish excitement terminated LIS
earthly career.
After lying in state two days the
body was deposited in coffin composed
first of tin lined with white satin,
which, having been soldered, was inclos
ed in another Of mahogany, TIN o.
lead, and the whole in a fourth of ma
hogany secured with iron screws. Aftol
the ceremony all enormous stone wa.
lowered over the body, resting on q
/ stone wall so as to escape tho coffin.
On the 18th Of May Louis Philippe
commanded that the ashes Of Napoleon
b6 conveyed to France. In his cOmlnu
nication he said: "Hencefcrth Franco
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 seanen
to its last resting place in the Hotel des
Invalides.
So closed the oyentful career of the
great Napoleon, whose memory can on
ly perish with the records of the world.

WINE AND ITS EFFECTS.

Why Can Some Men Drink Moro Thar

Has anybody ever discovered, 80 as

strangely obscure causes which in the
matter of wine differentiate one con-
st;tution from another? asks a writer
liz the London Spectator We have
written as if the main distinction were
between sedentary lives and lives in
the open air, and it is the main one,
but there must be many others. It Is
quite certain that there are men upon

they have taken one glass, besides the

ly to be feared that the increase of
temperance in this country, which is
most decided, is not wholly the out
come of increased self-control, but is
the result Of an instructive recoil, pro-
duced by a sense that the man cannot

and most Of the young. who almost
disbelieve the facts which they find in
literature not yet sixty years old. The
powers of men in regard to drinking
have changed as we'll as their habits,
and We see no proof that the change
is due in any large degree to the bibu-
lous ways of our immediate ancestors.
We should rather believe that a con-
stitutional change was going on like
that which has affected teeth and
which may last. at all events. for many
generations. II that is the case-and
the change has been observed in
France and America as well as in Eng
land-the desire to prohibit the use Of
alcohol altogether may one day be-

have become in Hindoostan and Arabia

How Lame Deer Shot ut the Commander

0oy Ine6ead - venturing Within the
Range Of Hostile GunA "

There must have been a good deal
Of thrill in the situation, even to such
veteran as Gen. Nelson A. Miles. at
the Madison Square garden, New York,
the other night, when the people broke
loose in cheering him as the senior Of
acer in the army and, therefore, a fig
ure OF potential importance just now.

his most thrilling moments had come
to him, not while military engage
ments were in progress, as most SOL
diers would report, but after the close
Of decisive battle. either in the form

that there was no longer an opposing
army; that there was no more work

ocnfess that the thought of it all quite
carried me away.
Lame Deer's Poor Shot.
MY own narrowest escape? 1 don't
suppose I know, to be frank about it,
but the closest shave 1 know about
was when Lame Deer, the Indian chief,
was captured. It was Immediately af-
ter the charge that had won the day
for the whites. The chief had been
surrounded by our men. but his gun
had not been taken away from him
when I rode up, and We started to
snake hands.
Suddenly, he drew back his hand.
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1898-04-28

Chief Joseph had to pass, and the muz-
zles of hundreds of rifles could be seen
sticking out from behind the rocks,
and every gun was in the hands Of a
hostile redskin. But the captain makes
light Of this.
Il was not in the slightest danger"
he says when telling the story, since
l could easily place Chief Joseph be-
tween myself and the threatening
rifles. Besides, the Indians could
make no point in killing a minor Of
ficer like myself, especially as it could
not fail to bring on a general engage
ment and the death Of the chief. But
Gen. Miles was somewhat anxious for
me. He was afraid that 1 would 90
too far down in the valley, and that
by some unholy trick the savages
would manage to capture me after
they had got possession Of their chief.
So the commander stepped out, in full
view of the redskins, where he would
have made a splendid mark for a shot
Don't 60 too far, Maus. he called
Make them come halfway! Make them
come halfway
Then. seeming to fear I had not
heard or would not heed his warning.
the general followed us down almost to
the halfway point. All this time he
was in range OF hundreds of rifles, and
it has always been a wonder to me that
the redskins did not fire.
With our commanding officer killed

cred Gen. Miles action on that day an

universal admiration by his fearless

Indians there felt unusually strong

TT is not my notion that Lame Deer

he was certain to be killed anyhow,
