But some ParisiRns had dubbed Tous-
saint the Black Napoleon, and it is
said that from dislike to the resem-
blance and comparison Napoleon in
one of his vainglorious moods resolved
to crush Toussaint. Against this man
he sent an army of 10000 with orders to
slavery. They issued proc
lamations saying, "We do not come to
make you slaves, but to give you great
or freedom" They cheated these poor
ignorant blacks and finally Touisssnt
submitted. Under the pretense of at
tending council of Nspoleon's gener-
ais, he was decoysd to a meeting place
and on arriving there was placed under
arrest. Taken 20 Paris, he was flung
into dungeon. Napoleon sent his
secretary to him, supposing that he had
buried large treasures. "Young man,"
he said, 81 have lost treasures, but they
are not such as you come to seek" He
was then placed in q vault twenty
feet long by twelve wide, built wholly
of stone. In this living tomb by. order
of Napoleon Bonaparte, this child OF q
sunny climate was left to perish. One
of his letters to Napoleon ran thus,
"Sire, am French citizen, I never
broke law. By the grace of God l
have saved for you the best island of
your realm. Of your mercy grant me
justice" Napoleon never answered the
letter. The coInmandant allowed
Toussaint FIVE francs day for food and
fuel. Napoleon heard of it and reduced
the amount to three

Another Press Club.

ARDDN ME- if I intrude, but
r reading of press clubs creates
in me an uncomfortable desire
to tell how little know of such
and their habitues. The
club that have in mind is composed
mainly of newspaper writer's; men who
have passed muster when others fell by
the wayside; men of ability and discre-
ton, with the keenness of q sleuth when
in search of news, and the energy of q
mountain torrent without its attend
ant noise:.
As you enter the clubr0om, you can
not fail to note its sensible and charm
ing furnishings, the artistic yet simple
taste of all its appointments and how
well they have been combined with
utility and convenience. You see at a
glance,ttat here is no hive for drones.
The place has an air of modest yet lux
urious comfort aud makes one feel con-
tent to sbide q wee" and study what
manner Of men we find here.
From the music room comes sound
Of revelry. Some of the younger mem
bers of the club are indulging in roll
licking college song, while one of their
number plays the accompaniment on
he piano. They sing with abandon
