NnpoIeon III. and His Cigarettes.

The most obstinate of cigarette
smokers was the Emperor Napoleon
III. 1t is an error to suppose that he
was ambitious. A fatalist, he fol-
lowed a plan which he imagined had
been traced in advance. At Sedan,
when the end came, he calmly lit q
cigarette. Hugo's epic anger against
him had large element Of irritation
at the mans supreme calmness. Hugo
was not cigarette smoker. He never
understood, he could not understand,
him. lola, who was a cigarette
smoker and who ceased in order that
he might become great workman,
understood and described Napoleon
Ill. in La Debacle" perfectly.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
President Says II Goes Not Mean
Aggression.

East Mortified, Mass, Sept. a.
President Roosevelt yesterday con-
cluded his tour through Vermont at
Brattleboro and spent the night at
Northfeld. The reception accorded
him at Brattleboro was among the
prettiest, most well-conducted and
lost enthusiastic he has received in
his tour OF New England.
The speech of greatest import was
delivered at Proctor, the home of Sen
ator Proctor, wherein he defined the
idea of the Monroe doctrine. He said:
1--WE believe in the Monroe doctrine
not as means of aggression at all. 1t
does not mean that we are aggressive
toward any power. a. means merely
that as the biggest power on this con-
tinent, we remain steadfastly true to
the principles first formulated under
the presidency Of Monroe, through
John Quincy Adams-the principle
that this continent must not be treat
ed as subject for political colonial
ton by any European power. AS
say, that is not an aggressive doe
trine. 1t is a doctrine of peace. A
doctrine OF defense, doctrine to Sc
cure the chance on this continent for
the United States here to develop
peaceably along their own lines. Now
we have formulated that doctrine. If
our formulation consists simply Of
statements on the stump or on paper,
they are not worth the breath that ut
ters them or the paper on which they
are written. Remember that the Mon
roe doctrine will be respected as long
as We have a first-class efficient navy,
and not very much longer.
Our attitude toward all powers
must be one Of such digniaed courtesy
and respect as we intend that they
shall show us in return. We must be
willing to give the friendly regard that
We exact from them. We must no
more wrong them than we must sub
NIT to wrong-doing by them, but when
we take a position let us remember
that our holding it depends upon our
selves, depends upon our showing that
We have the ability to hold it,"

SUSPICIOUS FACTS ABOUT TERRA.
PIN.

Il reckon I ought W say it in a wins
per, or maybe I hadn't ought to say it
at ALL" said a man claiming to be a
Marylander, "but it's a fact that before
terrapin began to get scarce down in
Maryland muskrats were more than
abundant" 4b
The reporter couldn't see anything in
it for him except to say, well, what
Of that?" and so he said it.
"Oh, maybe not much'' replied the
man from Maryland. only muskrats are
scarce now, too
The reporter couldn't see what there
was about that to cause it to be told
in a whisper
"Oh, can't you?" said the man "Then
perhaps you haven't noticed that there
hasn't been any falling off in the supply
of terrapin stew in your restaurants here,
scarce as terrapin have become. guess
you don't dine at restaurants where ter
rapin is on the menu if you haven't no.
ticed thta, and so, of course, it hasn't
struck you as queer that terrapin stew
doesn't cost any more now than it did
when there were lots Of terrapin to make
it out off,
The reporter seemed to get an inklins
of what the man from Maryland was
limiting at, and started in to say that it
couldn't be that ne meant it, but the
Maryland man cut him off and exclaimed:
st say nothing. But I can assure you,
and statistics will bear me out, tAat there
hasn't been any increase in the demand
for muskrat skins over what it was rem
years ago They gathered in just as
many muskrats for their skins down on
