Frlnce has the best army in the

certain of Russia, and, worse thaD
all, uncertain of herself, she lacKs
a mum bcr OF things but mOsty per

1t is rumOred that there is a
coup d'etat In preparation and tfai
presently the man will appear
The latter is Napoleon V. AT
present colonel of the guards a.
st. Petersburg, ho has three
ch aractelistlcs. He is a great chap
with the girls. That is promising.
He wears DO decorations. That IL
the mark of a really distinguished
soldier. He insists on being ad-
dressed as imperial higbness. THa'
is the prelude to sire.
Still young, good looking with
ont beng alarmlngly 80, at his
hours what the French call char.
meur, be has succeed ed In
charmiag the Car. In view o.
frances spaniel cruch at thsi
door, this meaus q good deal.
His name, too, Is potent. Ma
pOleon may rhvme with Sedan, bul
it rhymes even better with Auster
Iitz.
But why, it has been asked
shonld the grandson of Jerome
Bonaparte be Napoleon VI Fol
two reasohs-6rst, because the
Prince Imperial would have beer
napoleon lV-wOuid have been
lha' If, provided other things were
favorable-and second, becaus'
there is lnck IN odd numbers

1t Is worth nothing that thu
third Emperor, in spite OF tn
King of Rome, intended to ca
himself Napoien III. But after tn
coup d'etat, when bis name wa
billposted, that which the prIBie
had intended for three exclamaticl
points after IL was mistaken fo
the mineral III. Being OF good Al
gurv, It was accepted.
1t is in thus way that history ]
