G1llray's striking <sFtGon, Which
Was Published In 1903.
The dangers which threatened Napo-
leon in the opening years of the nine-
teenth century were shown by Gillray
in one of the most striking of all his
cartoons, the VALLEY of the Shadow Of
DEATH" which was issued Sept. "a,
1908. The valley is the valley Of Bun
vans allegory. The emperor is pro-
seeding timorously down treacherous
path bounded on either side by the wa
tiers Of Styx and hemmed in by circle
Of flame. From every side horrors are
springing up to aSsail him. The British
lion, raging and furious, is springing at
his throat. The Portuguese wolf has
broken his chain. King Death, mount
ed on a mule of true royal Spanish
breed" has cleared at a bound the body
of the ex-King Joseph, which has been
thrown into the ditch of Styx." Death
is posing his spear with fatal aim,
warningly holding up at the same time
his hOurglasS with the sand exhausted;
flames follow his course. From the
smoke rise the figures of Junot and
Dupont, the beaten generals. The pa
pal tiara is descending as Roman
meteor charged with lightnings to
blast the Corsican. The Turkish new
moon" is seen rising in blood. The
spirit of Charles XII" rises from the
flames to avenge the wrongs of Swe-
den. The imperial German eagle" is
emerging from a cloud; the Prussian
bird appears as a scarecrow, making
desperate efforts to fly and screaming
revenge. From the "Lethean ditch the
american rattlesnake" is thrusting
forth q poisoned tongue. The "Dutch
frogs are splitting out their spite, and
the Rhenish confederation is persona
fed as herd of starved "rats' ready |
to feast on the Corsican. The great |
Russian BEAR" the only ally Napoleon |
has secured, is shaking his chain and

BUOYANT MIDDLE AGE.
70 Dallies Jaantily With Youth In
These Progressive Days.

70 Dallies Jauntily With Youth In
These Progressive Days.
Half q century ago a man Of forty
Eve was regarded almost elderly, and a
woman Of the same age was expected
to have long since cut herself adrift
foom all ties binding her to her youth
cad to assume the appearance and de-
pertinent Of staid, exemplary matron.
All this has changed in particularly
Interesting way, of which the promi-
nent feature is seeming contradic-
ton. If the three-year-old child of to-
day is as knowing as was the siK-year-
old of half century ago and the ten
year-old boy of today is in many re-
Spects quite as much a man as was his
grandfather at eighteen, one might nat
urally expect that in due graduation the
modern middle aged man should be old
beyond his years. But such is not the
case.
Middle age, so far from hurrying on
into senility, so far even from standing
still, would seem actually to have
stepped backward and marched along
side of youth. There is jauntiness,
buoyancy, an elasticity, about the mid
die age of today at which our fathers
would have shaken their heads as I'M
seemly. The gulf which once separated
the middle aged parent from his chill
dren has been filled up. The curtain
which shrouded the middle aged man
generally from the eyes of youth and
which caused him to be regarded with
respect if not with awe has been lifted,
and in obedience to the same influences
which have made the schoolmaster the
friend Of the schoolboy and the regi-
mental officer almost the conlrade of |
his men the middle aged man of today |
is never so happy as when working or |
playing upon an equality and actually |
In connection with youth.
AS with men so it is with women.
Social statisticians tell us that the age
at which women are considered most
eligible for marriage has been very
notably advanced of late years, and
we know that the lament of many a
matchmaking mamma is that the most
dreaded rivals of her darling are not
to be found so much among the girls
Oh ner own a. 5 among women who
not many years ago would have been
relegated to the ranks of hopeless old
maidenhood. The fact that the middle
aged lady Of today is much younger in
manner and tastes is of course not the !
only reason for this but it is among
the most potent.-London Spectator.

INDIANS AND TROLLEY CARS
Unsuitable Curiosity Caused a Long
List Of Casualties.


When the trolley system wassinstall-
ed in Mexico City the native Indians,
apart from their Wonderment as to
what unseenE force propelled the cars,
were anxious to test> the new power.
They began by trying to stop the car
with their hands,, and later with their
heads and bodies. MntiIethe list of cas-
ualties became great.
Then brilliant idea .struck them.
They had often been to bullfightS and
at certain of these had watched pc
culiar opening ceremony which orlgl-
mated in Mexico and later was intro
duced into Spain. Before the bull is
set loose in the arena, man clothed in
white from head to foot poses as a
statue in the, center of the ring. His
face and hair are, wmtened, ard he
stands without movement or a ffutter
of clothing or anything that wpuld
tend totshow that he is alive.
When the bull is released he nrst
shifts the air andl makes a mad rush
for the pedestal Getting quite close
he stops and snorts, gazing at the fig
ure Seeing no movement, The gradual
ly retires backward in amazement. His.
attention is then attracted, by othecs.
and the mani escapes

The vacation time is at hand, with
its days OF relaxation and recuper-
alton. Too many make the summer
days OF idleness, a time for spreading
themselves, for displaying their finer
les. for elaborate social functions. The
cottage life loses its charm when it
is used for paying of social obliga-
tions and for entertainments. The
mother with family frequently finds
that this kind Of a change means the
same work as at home. with less Of
the conveniences and accommodations
The vacation which gives the real re-
cuperation so that our cells of energy
are filed and work is a real delight
when We return to il. is the one in
which we live out of door, and in
which We observe pristine simplicity
in eating, drinking and in sleeping.
Too many so live during the days of
vacation that on their return they are
ready 20 agree with the venerable pes
simst who said that a man never
needed a vacation so much as on the
first day after he had returned from
one.

and more fervid preachments. They
are worthy of consideration by every
father and mother in the land.
The mothers of this town have had
losson-but il doesn't seem to have done
them any good. There are just as many
girls gaddng around town after school
now, getting their mail from private
boxes in the local postoffice as there Were
ten years ago. Two years ago the Ga
zette went after the mothers of Empora
for neglecting their daughters and the re-
suit was that half a dozen private mail
boxes were discontinued and a lot of little
girls that were in the habit of gaddng
too much were kept in for time.
These girls are now developing into fine
young women, but another crop of gad-
ding girls has come on and the Gazette
