NAPOLEON ON WELLINGTON.

The Century quotes from DR..
O'Meara's unpublished Talks with Ma
poleon at st. Helena, this judgment
of the imprisoned Emperor on the
general who finally overthrow him:
Il asked him if he thought Lord
Wellington merited the reputation he
had gained as a general. He said:
Certainly; I think he does. He is a
very excellent general and possessed
Of great frmness and talent, but he
has not yet done as much as some
others. He has not conquered upon
so large a scale. I observed that he
had shown great judgment and eau
ton latterly, but that at first he had
been too precipitate in advancing into
Spain. He said that he had shown a
great deal of ability in the campaign
of Spain. 1t is impossible said he,
for man not to commit some faults.
We are all liable to it, and the gen.
eral who commits the feWest in num-
Der is the greatest general, and he has
certainly committed as few as any
one | then observed that still he
was scarcely to be equaled to himself
Why, certainly said he; he has not
done so much as | have done. He has
not conquered kingdoms in the man
ner / have done, but he is an excellent
general. His operations have not
been upon so great scale. I"

DOGS DIDN'T THINK.

This is what we are told. But, like
many things told us, it may not be
true Sitting at our desk Monday
afternoon we observed a black dog
with very long, pendant ears and long
silky hair start to come across the
street, a couple of rods east of our Of
fee. When he had reached a point
about one-third the distance across he
found the mud becoming too soft and
deep for comfortable navigation. He
stopped, looked ahead a moment at
the sea of mud before him, then turned
and went back to the sidewalk He
then trotted west till he reached the
paved street, directly opposite our Of
flee, then came across dry shod and
clean, and trotted back east to his
home. What different would man
have done? But we would ascribe the
mans action to reason. Why not give
the dog the same credit? Fact is we
have met lots of men whose thinkers
were not half as good as a dogs

CARING FOR WOUNDED HORSES.

Many of the war workers" among
the women of England are turning
their attention to that most pitiable
feature of war, the sufferings of the
wounded horses on the battlefield. 1t
is a subject which the humane will
strongly agitate when the Geneva
Convention meets again. So far re-
ports from South Africa do not tell of
any arrangements for putting wound
ed troop and gun horses out of their
misery, and it is understood that no
soldier has any right to use his own
initiative in the matter, even if he
had time to do so. Graphic accounts
from recent battles state that the
veldt was strewn for miles with dead
and wounded horses, and pictures that
one shudders to think of arise in the
minds of all true lovers of the noble
animals Unless hit in the head, it is
unlikely that the poor beasts are
killed outright, and a lingering death
from thirst and starvation must ne
cessarily follow.-New York Tribune,
Feb. 7th.

before she had time to form a thought
herself, she had read the story in a
dozen different journals, in hundred
different faces, had heard it in a hun
dred different voices. How could she
be mistaken?
Innocence will be indicated" re-
peated Gertrude. II know there are
people so weak of faith that they
think Heaven does not interfere with
the concerns of this lower world If
the falling of a sparrow be matter of
moment, of how much greater i'm
portance is the character of man?
Mamma, believe most solemnly that
what we thought chance the drop
ping of that lady's purse-was the
very finger of Providence. For sixteen
years men and women have believed
my father guilty: but something tells
me that the terrible mystery will be
cleared up. will devote my life to
the task of clearing my fathers
fame"
And again Dolores murmured:
You have a golden heart, Cert
rude! You are so like him!'
She was startled and unnerved by
this sudden change; it seemed like a
new atmosphere, new world to her.
She could hardly believe that she was
the same woman who had come down
to see the sun set over the river while
overwhelmed by the sense of her hus-
bands guilt. 1t was as though a
young and vigorous defender had
risen for him; as though fresh light
were thrown upon this dark mystery
Il pray Heaven, cried Gertrude,
with sudden passion, chat I may
never lie down TO die until / have
accomplished my end! Mamma she
continued solemnly, show me my
fathers portrait. l shall know him
better when I have seen his face.
And you say he loved me, mamma
loved me very dearly?"
HE did indeed. Gertrude"
Then I am the most fitting person
to work for him. Do you mean to
say that of all those who loved him
there was not one to defend him or
believe in him?"
Not one,' replied Dolores.
Poor papa! Well, I believe in him;

innocence, be he living or dead! Oh,
how have you lived, mamma, with
this terrible cloud hanging over you?
Come indoors quickly; | long to see

FORM IN LETTER-WRITING
Points for Those Who May be in Doubt
as to the Best Usages.

To every one outside the family
circle the Christian name and surname
should be written in full. A married
woman writes her name, Mary Bruce
Talbot, and in business letter adds
beneath it, in brackets, Mrs. John
Talbot. An unmarried woman writes
Miss" in brackets, before her full
name, to stranger when a reply is ex-
pected.
Typewriter letters are only adj
MISSILE for business communications.
In such epistles the signature should
be written by hand.
Speak first of the interests of your
correspondent and afterward of those
which concern yourself.
Never write anything over your own
signature of which you might later be
ashamed.
Never allow any one to read letter
intended for your eyes alone. 1t is in
trusted to your honor, even if not so
explicitly stated
One does not use the word "house
party in an invitation, but says, 81
am asking a few friends, etc..
A letter sent by hand should be left
unsealed, unless a servant be the
messenger.
Business letters should begin with
Sir, . Dear Sir" or My Dear Sir, :"
or if in the plural, with Gentlemen. =

In silence Lady Allanmore unlocked
the drawer that had not been opened
for sixteen years, and took from it
little parcel tied with faded blue rib
bon. Opening it, she gave Lola de
Ferras's two letters to Gertrude. In
silence the girl read them.
People say it is possible to tell
character from handwriting" she
said then. IF were to judge from
this, I should say that the woman
who wrote these letters was a combi-
nation of good and evil. There is
about this writing nothing open,
frank or free. should never have

looked over her shoulder.

cried. ooh, mamma, it comes back to
me so wildly! He had a soft, kind

But Gertrude gazed on in silence.
Mamma" she said at last, "a man
with face like that could not have
done what you think papa has done.
How could you doubt him? Those
eyes are clear, true and honest They
have never dropped with shame.
What a noble face! Every line of it

Heaven that I may see him! Oh,

that my fathers name is untarnished.

THRUST BY SCHURMAN
Attacks the Plan For Porto
Ricon Tariff.
AGAINST THE PRESIDENTS WISH.
Says 1t Is Opposed to Every Mans Sense
of Justice Republicans Failed to Agree
on the Bill, at Conference Held In
Washington.

DETROIT, Feb. 2e.-President Jacob G..
Schnrman, of the first Philippine com
mission, in an interview here, talking of
the proposed Porto Ricon tariff bill, said
in part;
s'Should the present congress adopt a
tariff for Porto Rico against the recon-
mendations of the commissioners and
of the president and against every man s
sense Of justice and generosity, the ora
tors of the Democracy can say with
truth during then next campaign that the
trusts went down TO Washington and
grappled the Republican party by the
throat and made it choke TO their adj
vantage
WASHINGTON, Feb. ga long CON
ference was held at the residence of
Representative Mccall, of Massachu-
sets, between the committee appointed
at Il Q Republican conference Saturday
night, representing the Republicans in
favor of the pending Porto Rico tariff
bill, and a committee agreed upon by
those Republicans who are opposed to
the measure.
Propositions pro and con were made
by both sides, but none of those made
on behalf of the advocates of the pend
ing bin amounted TO an abandonment OF
the principles Of the measure, viz: the
right of the United States to levy a
tariff on imports from Porto Rico, and
as its opponents consider this their
fundamental objection to the measure,
no agreement could be reached. After
the conference, opponents OF the bill
gathering before the conference of Re
statements, it was evident they in
tended to maintain the position they
have held all along, that under the con.
stitution the government has no right
to tax the products Of territory under

Smallpox Patients all Well.

Reports from Mt. Clare state that
the smallpox patients at that place
are eonvalescent and that no new
cases have developed in the neigh
borhood DR.. Rob Ramsey is nearly
well, but it is said that his eyes are
in bad condition and that there is
a possibility that he may lose one of
them. In the treatment of smallpox
tits generally considered important
that the room in which the patient
is confined should be darkened, as
the disease affects the eyes. 1t is
thought that Robs condition is the
result OF his looking out of the win
dow upon the dazzling brightness of
snow covered landscape. Another
report is that the attending physi
clan had sent up lotion for exttr-
nal application which the attendant
had gotten into the Doctors eye. 1t
is the the hope of his many friends
here that his affection may not leave
any permanent injuries -Clarks
