WHY NAPOLEON FAILED.

A recent book, written by an en-
inent English statesman, Lord Rose
berry, upon Napoleon the Great, is
profoundly interesting in it's sympa-
thetic, and yet judicial, estimate of
the most marvellous of modern con-
querors. Napoleon appears to this
latest biographer, so great in his en-
ergy, his intellect, his genius, that he
"enlarges the scope of human achieve
ment." He 'fought the Austrians
once for five consecutive days, with
out taking off his boots or closing his
eyes," he would work for eighteen
hours at stretch; "his genius was as
unfailing and supreme in the art OF
war, and he was as much the first
ruler as the first captain in the world -
"Ordinary measures do not apply to
him; we seem to be trying to span a
mountain with tape" The conclu-
sion arrived at is that Napoleon was
the largest personal force that has ev-
er come into the modern European
world.
Why then did his career end in de-

(RenSonS Plaster is Pains Master1

These are days of records and of the beat
ing ct records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quiekness of action and thoroughness OF
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Beuson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than ecer. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured qu}ctIy-and Benson's Plaster
does 1t. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills app 'olchable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's rs cedoes to heat
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsioum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists [and a thousand times as many non
profes Iional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few G. home remedies
that can be trusted.

THE WORLDS BIGGEST.

This great free country of ours is
the chosen home of big things, but
when it comes to railroads we must
yield to Russia.
United States Consul General Hol-
loway at st. Petersburg, in reporting
the completion of the Chinese Eastern
railway through Manchuria, thus
making direct connection between St..
Petersburg on the one side and Port
Arthur on the other side of the czar's
dominions, says that now the Trans
Siberian railway, which has taken ten
years and $172, $50, 900 to build may be
considered finished. He then pro-
ceeds to give some facts and figures
about this enormous undertaking
which are we'll worth reading.

and Port Arthur is 6,677 miles, and

HOW PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WROTE
HIS FIRST MESSAGE.

1t is difficult to convey an idea of
the extent of the work involved in
the preparation of a presidents mes
sage, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, and for newcomer
to prepare so exhaustive a paper in
the limited time intervening between
the tragedy at Buffalo and the open
ing of congress was herculean task.
1t must be remembered, also, that,
whereas William Mckinley would
have set about the preparation of his
message familiar with the smallest de-
tall in the workings of all the various
branches of the government, his sue
! cessor was under the necessity of
acquainting himself with all these
facts and with the inner history of
the executive policy which he had
promised to follow, before he could
begin to write the message.
The new president grappled with
the problem with his usual deter
mination. At the first cabinet meet
ing after he arrived in Washington,
he asked the members of his official
household to inform him on the most
important matters claiming the at
tention of their respective depart
ments, and the exact status of each.
He even went further, making APP
pointments to meet each cabine5
officer individually, in order to OBJ
tain more thorough understanding
ofexisting conditions. During the en-
tire time that he was engaged on his
initial presidential message, there
was scarcely morning but what he
was at his desk at nine o'clock, or
earlier, and he seldom ceased work in
the afternoon before four O'Clock.
Even after midnight, he did not en-
tirely dismiss the subject. On one
occasion, when he had accompanied
his wife and daughter to the theater,
he remained for only one act, and
then hurried home to have little in
terval for work.-Success.

fare varies from $128 first class to S46
third class. 1t might be remarked
here that the entire trip cannot be
made by rail. Lake Baikal (forty -one
miles, is crossed by stea mboat in the
summer and by sledges in the winter,
and 1858 miles of the Amoor river are
traversed by steamboat. The Trans
Siberia road was built with light rails
some of which only weighed twelve
pounds to the foot-wooden bridges,
light equipment and cars without
trucks, and in many cases the track
was laid on marshy soil. AS a conse-
quence, it has been impossible to
make time or take care of the business
offered. These defects, however, are
being remedied as rapidly as the
means can be provided to meet the
expenses, which in some sections will
amount to fifty per cent. of the origi
nal cost.
The rail route is through country
resembling Kansas and Nebraska; is
dusty and hot in the summer months;
it takes twenty eight days to make
the trip; the trainmen do not under
stand English; the trains leave Mos
COW twice week; vestibuled cars are
provided from Moscow to Irkutsk on
the trains de luxe, and this part of the
trip takes up one third of the time.
Our railroads across the continent to
the Pacific ocean were considered
wonderful enterprises in their day,
but they pale before this great Rus
sian road covering over 5000 miles of
territory and costing such a vast sum
of money. But there is no regret at
the outlay, for already it is assured
the undertaking will be worth it all to
the government Burlington Ne,Os.

Capital and Labor.

"There would be no capital with
out labor, ;" remarked one of the dele
gates to the peace conference now
going on in New York. And he might
very we'll have added, what is the
truth in these days of high civiliza-
ton, that there would also be mighty
little labor without capital. In an
aboriginal state, for few months,
there would be nothing but labor,
with it's fruits as labor's sole reward.
But this state of things would not last
long. 1t would soon become true that
one man amassed more than his
fellows and would enter the class of
employers. Employers were not
especially created for the oppression
of labor, though they have often OPP
pressed it. They grew out of labor
itself, and the two branches of indus
try are now absolutely interdepen-
dent. What proves blow to capital;
capital is equally short sighted in not
realizing that blow at labor is also a
blow at capital itself. 1t is strange
that, after all these years of strikes
and lockouts, both employer and en-
ployed should still be blind to the fact
that prosperity of one is the prosper
ity of the other. The immediate dol
lar is made to outweigh the ultimate
hundred dollars. The paid agitator,
who does not earn dollar by his own
production, is listened to as modern
Delphric oracle. If the conference at
New York can demolish this fabric of
mistake and error, and lay a found
alton for intelligent cooperation be-
tween the worker and the employer,
appealing to the reason and sense of
each, instead of growing and exhibit
ing labor's teeth and capitals power,
much will have been accomplished

feat and exile? Napoleon's own say
ing is revelation on this point. II
am not man like other men" he as
serted; "The laws of morality could
not be intended to apply to me-" He
believed that religion was essential to
the nation he ruled but not to himself.
He was not antgonistic to it; he pat
ronized Father. But for man as
consciously great as he to obey the
Ten Commandments when they ran
counter to his views, appeared to him
absurd. Humility was in his eyes no
virtue, but an entire mistake.'
Yet humility alone could have saved
him. The dangerous, the fatal
element in Napoleon's nature was am
! bition. In youth he was phenomenal
ly sane and we'll balanced. But little
by little, his knowledge of his own
powers unbalanced him; nothing
seemed as important as his own des-
tiny; "the intellect and energy were
still there, but as in caricature; they
| became monstrosities" Then came
the inevitable collapse of insane
and impossible ambitions; and at
forty-six, the man who had dreamed
of governing world became a cap
tive exile. His conquests left no
mark; the kings he made lost their
thrones; France was beggared and ex-
hausted by him; and the greatest gifts
ever bestowed upon a human soul
since the days of Caesar thus failed to
help forward the world.
If any one was ever great enough to
do without goodness, Napoleon was
the man. The result of his expert
ment ought to be enough to satisfy
anybody. There is no need for small
Ter men to repeat the test; it stands
as finality. Plain, simple goodness
is the necessity of great souls as we'll
as lesser ones; duty is the supreme
law, God, the almighty Ruler, Napole-
Oh failed, not because he was not
great enough, but because he was not
good enough -Erchange

HOW HELEN KELLER WRITES
Her "Story of My Life" an Extra
ordinary Literary Task.

Not one person in ten thousand
of those who will read Helen
Keller's own story of her life, when
it begins in an early issue of The
Ladies' Home journal, will have
the least conception of the amount
of hard work required to write the
story. First OF all Miss Keller
puts down her ideas "in Braille,' .
as the blind express it; that is to
say, in the system of point"
raised on paper by means of a
stylus and slate devised to aid the
blind; these "points" being read
afterward by passing the sensitive
fingers over them. When all of
this Braille work has been com
pleted Miss Keller goes to her
typewriter and uses these notes as
guide to the rewriting of the
story.
AS soon as page of matter Is
typewritten it is, 80 to speak, lost
to Miss Keller, who has to depend
upon her faithful teacher, Miss
Sullivan, to repeat it to her by
spelling out each sentence by
means of the hands. tits a tedious
task, especially as some of the
pages have to be read again and
again, with changes here and there,
before Miss Keller is satisfied.
Then, when the proofs are sent to
her, all this slow process of spell
ing has to be gone through once
ypsssanaasxs ttat sAas.ssa ssr~sas that - Alos
fingers at least five times. 1t will
be satisfaction to everybody to
know that the publishers of The
Journal have recognized in sub
stantial manner the extraordinary
ability and patience which Miss
Keller has shown in her work.
