1t is said that Napoleon was a tiend
for fried onions and would eat them
three times day il they were to be
had. That settles il, for now we
know the cause of his downfall. No
man. no matter how great he may be-
could ever hope that that greatness
would be permanent when he would
willingly intlIct such suffering on
those about him. The gods are bound
10 throw him down sooner or later
and the only wonder is that the fair
Josephine took it so much to heart
when he saw tit to divorce her. With

divorce by going home to mamma.
The queerest celebration in history
took place at an Illinois town the
other day. 1t was celebration of a
man speaking to his wife, who had
not spoken to her before for thirty
three years Mr.. Cakes. one of the
richest men of the neigh borhood. had
some words with his wife third OF a
century ago. She was chastising their
little girl, when he interfered and the
wife turned on him with fire in her
ewes. and said in manner he could
not fail to understand, ..Iou shut up''
He shut up, and from that day never
spoke to his wife again, They lived
together but when he wanted to COM
municate with his wife he sent word
by one of the children. The wife tried
many times to engage him in CONVEX
sation the first year or two, but finally
gave it up. The little girl whose
spanking caused the breach between
her parents grew up TO womanhood
and was married and raised a family
but the old man kept his lips sealed
and went around hating himself. On
Jan. /, 1900, some friends got Cakes
to wish his wife a Happy New Year,
and then the celebration was arranged
and everybody attended. The old
man has got to talking TO his wife
now and they are afraid he will talk
her arm off. She says that sometimes
during the last thirtytnree years,
"hOh oho SOtl' n.y. 80 . ~" 49, -
her husband, however much she
might want to quarrel, it has seemed
as though she would split, and how
she got along she does not know for
the life of her. 1t is hoped, nov that
they have got their talking utensils
oiled up, that they will not overdo
the thing.
