! Helena. Byron has described him as
a gambler
Whose game was empires, and whose
stakes were thrones,
| Whose table earth and whose dice were
| human bones.'
At Elba he may be said to have had
miniature empire-his diminished
household represented an imperial
court-the forms and etiquette of the
Tuileries were observed. The Bour-
bons knew this life had not killed the
lion, or even lulled him to sleep, rather
he was preparing for spring. When
the news came that Napoleon was on
French soil, the army, shouting: 'sVive
Pempereur," Louis XVIII. ignomin-
iously fed from his capital.
Russia, Prussia and Austria had suf-
fered so many humiliations at the
hands of Napoleon, they allied them
selves together to cage the lion,
and England joined hands. The COM
bination was too strong. After Water
loo, and Napoleon's despairing cry:

that he should be given up to the
Boucbons. The harbor was so closely
blockaded by the English the chances
were he would be taken prisoner. Be-
cause Of that he decided to ask the
hospitality of England. In fatal mo-
ment he stepped aboard the Bellero-
phon. There was neither generosity

Orders were given that Napoleon
should be taken to Saint Helena, a
prisoner for life. He Indignantly re-
fused to concede to the English the
right to dispose of his person.
Several Of his friends and servants
voluntarily accompanied him into ex-
lie, treating him as emperor, and as far
as possible keeping up the customs of
court life.
The brutal governor, Sir Hudson
Lowe, watched him with unsparing
rigor, subjecting him to all the petty
annoyances narrow mind and an un-
generous nature could devise. But he
suffered no bodily injury.
Napoleon died in 1921 of cancer in the
stomach. He was buried under some
willows-a spot chosen by himself. He
mad often expressed wish that he
might lie on the banks Of the Seine,
Louis PHILIPPE, liberal enough to adj
nit that Napoleon had shed a halo of
glory over France, petitiened the Eng
lish government to return his ashes to
French soil. There was generous re-
sponse, though Wellington meanly op-
posed. No crowned head in Europe has

the death of her husband Mrs. Knapp

1t was Mrs. Knapp who discovered
Emma Thursby, and she is still close
friend of that talented singer. Her
rooms are as open to poor professionals
striving for hearing as they are to

has entertained all the presidents, from

to give poor fellow, unknown in New

setting at Attn island day is breaking
over the Maine forests.
But Alaska has proven the truth of
Secretary Seward's predictions, and
has to-day paid for itself many times
over. And yet the wonderful resources
of this land of snow and ice are but be-
ginning to be developed. One of the
things that Secretary Seward saw in
Alaska was its furs. Up to the pres
ent time the fur companies have taken
from the territory little over So, ,0o0,-
900 worth of seal skins, and have paid
into the treasury of the United States
over $6,0o0.o00 in royalties. The seal
are rapidly dying off, but it will still
be many years before the industry in
Alaska is entirely dead. and the gov
ernment will receive many more mil
lions from this source. From this
source of revenue there is still $780,
533 in dispute, a large part of which
the government will receive in time.
Royalties on furs have more than paid
the purchase price of Alaska
The annual value of the whale fish
cries of Alaska has to be estimated, but
competent judges place il at not less
than $4,000. 900 at the present time, and
estimate the total since the cession of
the territory at more than $40, ,000. 600.
None of this has gone directly into the
government treasury, but it has all
gene tc enrich the American people.

received the necessary permission to
sign treaty ceding the territory to the
United States. Seward would not wait
until morning to sign the treaty, but,
Eummoning the necessary clerks of the
state department, he requested the
minister to meet him at the depart
ment building. There, early the next
morning, between four and five o'clock,
the signatures of the two statesmen
were placed to the paper that trans
ferred Alaska from Russia to the United
States. The treaty was sent to the
senate at once, where it was finally rati-
fed, amid the jeers of the world.
By this purchase of Alaska for ST.

tory equaling in area one-seventh of
the territory of the United States. It

cited the curiosity of the worlc
during the reign of Louis XIV. A
masked man was taken to Saint Mars
then the governor of the castle OF
Pignerol. Without his mask the man
was never seen, even by his physician
but the wearing of the mask was not SO
brutal as it sounds. 1t was made sim
ply of black velvet arranged on light
steel springs.
When Saint Mars was promoted to
the care of the famous bastiIe the
masked prisoner followed in his train.
During the journey from one prison to
the other orders were given to kill him
if he made any attempt to make him
self known. During his confinement
this prisoner was richly dressed; his
room in the bastile was arranged with
special regard to his comfort; every
expressed wish was gratifed; the gov
ernor himself waited upon him, and
treated him with the greatest defer
ence.
Once, while in the bastile, the pris-
oner scratched message to the out
