NAPOLEON Is FORCED
TO ABDIcATE CITY
Thirsty RuraIite Has Been Too Often
a Workhouse Guest.

Napoleon Beare, a Minnetonka fruit
farmer in summer and scrap iron col
lector in winter, is a frequent visitor
to the st. Paul workhouse as a result
of his terrible thirst. While at work
in the country Napoleon is an indus
trious little man, but when he comes
up to the city on business and cashes
up with the local dealers who buy his
wares he always improves the oppor-
tunity to sample the various brands Of
fire water for sale on the flats, and
also the accommodations at the Hotel
Fitzgerald.
Napoleon was up again before Judge
Finehout yesterday, but the judge was
in a forgiving mood, and at the earn
est solicitation of the offenders
friends he decided to let the country
man go or his promise to leave town
at once.
"Jedge," said Napoleon, this will
make a new man of me"
"Well, 1 have tried every other
method with you," replied his honor,
and We'll see now whether o can
stand this new line of treatment"

IT HE KIMBALL business was es-
tablished in 1857, and since that
time more than three hundred
have been sold. The first Kimball
piano manufactured is still in use in a
college club at Ann Arbor, Mich, and
doing good service.
The Kimban plant is the most extern
sive of its kind in operation in the
world, and consequently uneQualed in
its esources.
The Kimball cash capital is the
largest employed in the piano and Or
gan business in the world.
The Kimball Company guarantees
the price of every instrument; as well
as the quality; and the guarantee is
backed by millions of cash capital. No
other house thus protects its patrons.
There is only one profit between a
customer n a Kimball instrument,
as they are marketed direct by the
manufacturer, thus eliminating the
jobber, middleman, etc.
There is only one grade of Kimball
pianos manufactured, and that as
nearly perfect as the finest facilities,
unlimited capital and skilled artisans
can make them.
The great musical artists of the
world and leading music schools have
expressed a preference for the Kimball
instruments and use and indorse them.

bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.

SOMETHING As To HoHExznLLERNs

Though he is an Emperor's brother,
l'Prince Henry is n comparative parvenu
among the aristocrats of Europe There
is vast amount of nonsense and down
right lying about the antiquity of the Old
World families-particularl among the
English, who all claim to descend from
those who came over with William the
Conqueror, and point to the ''roll Of the
Battle Abbey as proof. There never was
a more impudent forgery than this same
roll Of William the Conqueror's knights,
which was not heard of until 500 years
after the battle of Hastings The truth
is, as Freeman, the historian, puts it
that there is no family in England that
can trace back its genealogy more than
400 years. Even in this comparatively
modern period, the Hohenzollerns-to
which Prince Henry belongs-are rela-
lively parvenues. OF course. they pretend
to trace their line back TO the times OF
Charlemagne. but this sort of manufac-
tured pedigree is easy for times when few
knew how to read and write, and a man
may appropriate any ancestor. whose
name happens to appear in the scant rec
Ords. The family was insignificant with.
territory and population about eqIaI to
one Of our Counties until 1640-20 years
after the landing of the Pilgrims on Ply
mouth Rock. Then what is now Prussia
began to slowly grow, under the admin
istratiOn of Frederick William, the Great
Elector. He was q thrifty, grasping
Prince, as most of his successors have
been, and managed to have on hand all
the time supply Of money and soldiers,
which enabled him to take advantage of
the troubles Of his neighbors. and there
was always plenty of trouble for every
body in those davs. BY the loan of 10000
soldiers to the Emperor of Germany at
a critical period the son of the Great
Elector got himself the title Of King in
1100-just about the time that New York
began to assume some Importance in the
world. The rest of the world sneered bit
terly at the new-fiedsed King of poor
little German wilderness, about the size
of Connecticut. but his grandson, Fred
erick the Great, starting in with an army
of 10000 men, and S6,000.O0O of money,
fought them into a profound respect for
the new Kingdom, along about the time
that Washington and Braddock were
making their unfortunate expeditions
against Pittsburs. Since then the Hohen-
zollerns and Prussia have grown rapidly
and steadily, though Napoleon gave them
very rude jolt. After ALL they came
out of the NapOleonic turmoil in better
shape than anybody else, except Eng
land.

PERNICIOUS ACTIVITY.

| Mr.. Robinson. of Indiana, ironically re-
marked that he did not feel like allow
| ing the Commissioner of Pensions To rest
under what were the virtual imputatiOns
of his friends that he was impOtent to
deal with the frauds" and sharks who
beset him. In Mr.. Robinson's judgment
the Commissioner approached ''pernicious
activity in his opposition to pension leg
islation, pensioners, investigation of his
Office etc Mr.. Robinson Incorporated
into his speech some remarks by Mr..
Dominick L. Murphy. who succeeded
Judge LOchren as Commissioner of Pen
siOns:
There was n great deal said about
fraudulent pensions and false testimony,
but the criminal idea submitted us com
ing from the Pension Office. if fairly ana
lyzed, would have shown that, after all
the hue and cry, fraudulent pensions are
,ealiy few and far between.
Il was looking over the last annual re-
port of the Attorney General today. and
found that while there were pending July
1. 1901, in the United States courts, 3.6I3
prosecutions for OffenSes against the in
ternal-revenue laws and G29 for viola
tiOns of the postal laws. there were but
lS2 prosecutions under the pension laws.
Who ever hears of the frauds against
the internal-revenue and postal laws? Yet
constant parade is made of the COM
paratively few pension frauds. And it
should be borne in mind that many Of
these 1S2 prosecutions We're of attorneys
and notaries public and guardians of
minors and insane persons.
That every effort should he made to
discover fraud and to stamp it out when
ever and wherever found goes without
saying. But it seems to me as though in
the past few years there has been APP
parently a persistent and, | may say, ma
liciCus effort to discredit and besmirch the
entire pension roll.
The pension sharks we hear so much
of could be readily disposed of by the De
partment under present laws and regua-
tions. And that reminds me that when
the second Cleveland Administration came
into power in 1898 it was quickly discov-
cred that an attorney in Norfolk, Va: an
other in Buffalo. \. Y, and still another
in Iowa had been running regular penSiun
factories, where bogus applications and
fraudulent aildayits were ground out in
considerable number. 1t did not take the
then Commissioner, Judge LOchren. long
to close up their establishments destroy
their nefarious business, and put the raS-
cally attorneys and some of their clerks
behind the bars. Those fellows were sure
enough pension sharks:' and it seems 10
me il there are more of their ilk there is
a way of getting at them without discred-
iting the many intelligent and reputableus
attorneys who practice before the Pensio
Office"
