BILE and bronze. The first object you en-
counter at the head of the landing
stairs is a marble statue of Napoleon
on the top of tall granite pedestal,
turning his back upon the humble city
of his nativity and looking out upon
the world he failed to conquer. He is
inappropriately wrapped in Roman
toga and crowned with wreath of bay;
his right hand grasping rudder, which
rests upon a ball representing the
earth. An inscription at the base states
that the monument was presented to
the city by King Joseph, in 1912. Close
behind it is great mai Die fountain,
always surrounded by women and don
keys who are equal beasts of burden in
Corsica. A little farther on is the mar
ket-place, and in it you find another
Napcleon-this time in bronze, which
is about the color of the average Corsi-
can. On it you read: His native city
to the Emperor Napoleon, on the 5th
of May, 1850, the second year of the
presidency of Louis Napoleon" A
queer story is connected with this mon
ument. 1t seems that the city had long
been endeavoring to raise one to it's
hero; but money was too scarce. 1t
happened that a distant relative of the
Bonapartes, residing in France, sent to
an Ajacco cousin, Signor Ramolino. the
figure of a Ganymede, for his garden.
When the statue was unloaded from the
vessel some wharf-loungers mistook
the eagle Of Ganymede for the imperial
eagle, and of course took it for granted
that the figure was Napoleon. There
upon mob collected, which demanded
the statue from it's rightful owner, to
set up in the market-place where all
might do it honor; and so in earnest
were they that to have refused would
have created fierce vendetta. Happi-
ly, it is one of those accommodating
works of art which answers equally
well for Napoleon, George Washing
ton or John Smith.
Perhaps the best effigy of the first
Emperor is that in the Place du Dja.

down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. 1t does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease: it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinsl.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. 1tcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for US to enter
into that subject
We could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane 8. Fen
4ICu, d IuCIupcT VI tllc w. W
T. u, and resident of Suncook, N. 81.
She writes:
II was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was SO nervous and
sickly that every one thought l was in
amost precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 1870 pounds. l was ad-
vised to take Vinol, which l did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. AS rebuilder and
q strength giver nothing can equal it.
Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwe
have ever had in our store.
