THE GREATNESS OF NAPOLEON
Extraordinary Fascination Exercised
by Famous Corsican.


by Famous Corsican.
The publication of further mrmoirs
of st. Helena brings before US the
extraordinary fascination cXercised
by Napoleon over four generations of
statesmen, generals and biograDhers.
The records now being published by
the Daily Mail have the merits of
originality and impartiality; but. like
all contemporary records, they suffer
from the fact that no one at the time
was able to appreciate the greatness
of Napoleon. The man who lives in
the history of the world long after his
contemporaries have been fu~aotten,

ESTABLISHING A HOME.

1t is always sad thing when young
married couple begins life in a
boarding house or q hotel. Sad, be-
cause they start life practically out
| side of themselves. The young wife
may bring with her all the trifes
she chooses; she may add touch
of her own here and another touch
there, but the things in the room
are not her own, and sooner or later
she realizes it. What they eat is not of
their own devising That delicate and
delicious pleasure of wife's own hands,
or under her direction, is absent. They
eat their meals with others, and ss the
observed of others. No table talk be-
tween husband and wife is possible.
After the last meal of the day they go
to their room-a room in which nothing
speaks to them, for it's not theirs.
During the day the wife is alone. Few
duties call her. Nothing is there in
her life to exercise her ingenuity or de-
velop her womanly talents. She can
not prepare any little pleasure for her
husband, for things are prepared for
them. When her husband leaves her
to go to his employment, she turns
back into her room and wonders what
she can do during the day-how she
will employ herself, where she will CO.
No home duties confront her, so she
goes out shopping, runs around to her
mother, calls upon some friends, goes
back to her room to practice little if
she is musical and has an instrument,
or, if she is fond of books, reads. Two
thirds of herself lies dormant. And the
husband, what can he do to express
himself to his young wife? Everything
is his only by lease, his for time, for
so much money. The end is the same
as the beginning. That is why board
ing house or hotel life is so injurious to
young married people. 1t makes them
practically homeless.

A REVERE.

The following literary excerpt was

manuscript of which having fallen into
our hands:
"How respondent get some time.
Do you ever get that way? To-day es-
pecially l feel that way. A baneful
shadow, like coming event, cast itself
athwart my pathway. A longing for
the unattainable fills me. Absent ones
longed for; hungry heart that desires
food that it cannot possess. Doubts,
fears, conjectures crowd into my
thoughts as unwelcome guests at the
table of content. I find I am in a rev.
erie, trying to peer into the future
wondering what there is in store for
me yet, would rot lift the veil of the
future, if l could, and know its reali-
ties, its joys, its sorrows. 1t might
bring flood of horror to the soul and
frenzy to the mind. Thus as / sit and
ponder, | find that / am in despond-
ent mood. reach out my hand and
clasp emptiness. grope in the dark
ness of almost despair and founder
like night bird on the wing, dashing
blindly here and there against this OBJ
stacle and that, wounding the sensibil-
tiles and dissipating hope. I arouse
myself to the thought that we are new
err, but always, to be blessed; that
while every heart knoweth its own
bitterness, there is sweetness to fol-
low as we'll; that while the clouds of
disappointment may drift in and shut
out the sunshine of real happiness and
JOY, momentarily, they will divide and
let in also vision of brightness and
beauty. By and by the eternal day of
srlendors will dawn, with its eternal
realities. and then will the urattainable
have been reached the longed for pres
ences will be in close touch unfettered
soul to soul, face to face, the sweet
companionship of loved ones will APP
pease the hungered heart, and there
will be the rapture of celestial music
and divine love thrilling the soul"

THE STATE FAIR.
Few People Appreciate the Magnitude
of the Exhibition.

Des Mones, July 30.-Few people in
Iowa, even those who annually attend
the state fair, fully appreciate the mag
nitude of its displays. Its twelve de-
partments, not including that of speed.
furnish an exhibition worth many
times the price of admission or other
expenses incurred in attending.
Judging from the great number OF
applications for space in the different
departments, the display in all will be
by far the greatest yet shown. This
will be due largely to the liberal prem
iums offered in the different depart
ments approNimating 100000. This is
outside of the speed department in
which $4,000 is offered in purses in the
several stakes. To those who admire a
good race, the management of this por-
ton of the state fair program can as
sure some OF the best exhibitions of
speed to be seen in the west this sea-
son. Many of the best horses racing
this year have been entered for the
Iowa state fair races.
From present indications, crops in
Iowa this year will be generally album
dant and of a good quality. This in
