The Death Of Napole on.

(NapOleon, emperor of the French,
died in the Island of st. Helena, May
5, 1921, after an Imprisonment of six
years. The day of his demise is de-
scribed in Scott's Life" as follows:
Napoleon's passing spirit was delirious-
ly engaged in strife more terrible
than the elements around. The words,
"tete d'armee" head of the army, the
last which escaped from his lipe, init
mated that his thoughts were watching
the current of a heavy fight About
eleven minutes before 6 in the evening
Napoleon expiretl)
Wild was the night, yet wilder night
Hung round the soldiers pillow;
In his bosom there waged a fiercer fight
Than the fight on the wrathful bill
low.
A few fond mourners were leaning by
The few that his stern heart cher
ished;
They knew by his glazed and unearth-
ly eye
That life had nearly persisted.
They knew by his awful and kingly
look,
BY the order hastily spoken,
That he dreamed of days when the ma
ton shook,
And the nations hosts were broken.
He dreamed that the Frenchman's
sword still slew,
And triumphed the Frenchman's
eagle,
And the struggling Austrian fed anew,
Like the hare before the beagle.
The bearded Russian he scourged
again,
The Prussians camp was routed,
And again on the hills of naughty
Spain
His mighty armies shouted.
Over Egypt's sands, over Alpine
SHOWS,
At the pyramids, at the mountain,
Where the wave of the lordly Danube
flows,
And by the Italian fountain.
On the snowy cliffs, where mountain
streams
Dash by the SwitZer's dwelling,
He led again in his dying dreams
His hosts, the broad earth quclling.
Again Marcngo's field was won,
And Jena's bloody battle;
Again the world was overrun,
Made pale at his lannon's rattle.
He died at the close of that darksome
day,
\ day that shall live in story;
In the rocky land they placed his clay,
And left him alone with his glory.

That they should not appeal from

That it is bad taste for them to tell

My Rosary Beads.
A little pair of Rosary beads,
AS plain as plain can be,
But only God in heaven knows
How dear they are to me.
l have them always with me
AT every step l take,
At evening when l slumbcr,
AT morning when l wake.
In bright or cloudy weather,
In sunshine or in rain,
In happiness or sorrow,
In pleasure or in pain.
1t helps me in my struggles,
1t reproves me when in sin,
Its look of gentle patience
Rebukes the strife within.
In days of pain and anguish
The greatest help l knew
Was to hold my Rosary beads
Until l calmer grew.
So, when the time approaches
That l will have to die,
hope my little Rosary beads
Will close beside my lie.
That the holy name of Jesus
May be the last l say.
And, kissing my sweet Rosary bea
My soul shall pass away.

 If your lawn skirt is gored, rip open and set in wide insertion between each gore; if it's circular, open down the front breadth, set in wide panel, push back the original front gore to the sides and you will gain consider able fullness.
 As skirts are shorter than ever, even the dressy afternoon skirts. the length is easily managed, all the new short skirts tilt up ever so little al the back and escape the ground in the front. To be in fashion this sum mer, cut off any of your last seasons skirts that do not depend upon length to hang properly.
 Besides actually adding to the width of skirt With new material, an effect of fitness can be gained with the new wide sash that has come back again this spring. tied with long ends and the old style twc-loop bow This sash is very becoming to slender women, and entirely disguises the last years habit-back skirt, which is utterly out of fashion now, except for short street skirts. and even in the street skirts plating or tucking is better style.

 There are certain ways of doing up summer things so that will not fade or or shrink. but it's a bit more troublesome for the housemaid to dc them separate from the other work and to remember about special wash ing preparations, and so more often than not, she just doesn't bother.
 But you are very likely to be decid edly more careful about your own pretty frocks and to take every pre- caution to see that a gown you have been three days making shall not be in three hours washing.

Bringing Last Summers
 Dresses Up-to-Date
LAST SUMMERS WAISTS DO NOT
 HAVE TO BE CHANGED
Silk and Lawn Waists Must Undergo Change - Broader Shoulders the RuIe-Directions for Cleaning Full Iy Outlined.
(By Mary Annable Fanton)

Looking over ones last Summers wardrobe is apt to be a rather melan- choly performance. Where indeed are the waists that locked so full and lacy and dainty last season and the skirts that fitted so exquisitely and appeared so far in advance of the fashion?
 There are plenty of skirts the wroug length and fullness, and sleeves, too full at the cuff; but the swagger ward robe we packed away in November, confident that we would have little renovating 70 do in the spring. is lost utterly, there isn't a trace of it. And instead of a chest full of garments suitable and stylish for the first warm days, ''it is to sew" as usual, and to make-over and to bring up to date gowns that seem hopeless.
 And yet all this spring work is no, so difficult as it sodnds There are so many fashions that are good styles this year that almost every sort of old waist and skirt can be effectively remodeled.
 First of all there is a scrap of com fort in the fact that your shirt-waist doesn't have to be changed. The sen sIbIe American girl has decided that, granted a well-cnt, wellfitted garment in the beginning, the smartness of the shirt-waist is very largely in its i'm. maeulate freshness, in the way it's done up and worn and in the right collar and tie or stock.
 So. even though wour last years waist may have more fitness at the elbow than this years model. and the shoulders be a trifle narrower and the buttons a trifle larger. still if you have it done up carefully and lay in a stock of the new low linen collars and a smart four-in-hand tie or two. you will look very much in the style. Or you may wear the new "once over" stock or the silk Byron bow.
 But your silk and lawn waists you must change. Make them broader over the shoulders with deep round yokes or shoulder bretelles or shoulder straps, open the sleeves from

SIMS WAS CONFIRMED
TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS SEAT
 MADE SECURE.
House Had Under Consideration the Indian Appropriation Bill Trusts Come in for Their
 Share of Debate.

Washington, March 1.-The House today had under consideration the Indian appro- priation bill the reading of which, for the purpose of amendment, was pending of adjustn1ent.
 During the general debate of the bill, Mir. Martin a Republican member for South Dakota, addressed the House on his resolution directing the Secretary ot Commerce and Labor to investigate the causes of the difference which exist be tween the cost of live and dressed beef. He prefaced his statements with a high tribute to Attorney-General Knox, and by saying he was not one who went into hysteria on hearing the word trust.
 But while this was true. he believed that a monopoly exists in one of the big food products which should be inves. tigatd by the Department of Commercd and Labor. He asserted that so far as the rights of the producer and consumer are concerned, they are even worse than before the injunction was secured against the beef concerns.
 MT. Stanley, Democratic member from Kentucky, made an urgent appeal for re- lief at the hands of Congress for the to- bacco growers and the toilers in the to- bacco fields, and complained that compc- tition had been destroyed by combina- tons of capital.
 MT. Robinson (Dem.. Ind.), in closing the general debate on the Indian bill, claimed that a monopoly existed fin the coal business In the Indian Territory, and expressed the belief that the subject should be investigated by the Department of Commerce and Labor.
 The House confirmed the right of MT. Sims (Dem.. Tenn.,) to his seat. The Re- publican nominee had contested 1t.

THE SENATE.

Washington. March 4.-Practically the entire time of the Senate today was given to consideration of the question of a se- lection for a naval training station on the great lakes. Most of the Senator's from the States bordering on the lakes parti cipated in the discussion. The controver- sy arose over an effort to secure as an amendment to the committee amendment a provision authorizing the appointment of a new committee to select the site. This amendment was offered by Mir. Quarles. and It's origin was due to the fact that former commission had given pref erence to Lake Bluff in Illinois. The principal speakers were Messrs. Quarles and Spooner, who presented the, advant- ages of Racine. Wis; MT. Hopkins, who spoke for Lake Bluff, and Mir Foraker, whose contentious were in the interest of Put-in-Bay, Ohio. The committee amend ment was so modified as to make 1t apply to all the Great Lakes and not alone t9 Lake Michigan. but MT. Quarles's amend ment was not acted upon and will be con sldered tomorrow.

MANOUVRES USELESS
HERR BEBEL ATTACKS ARMY IN
 REICHsTAG.
Criticised Present system-with Kaiser at the Head, German Hosts are Worthless-Too
 Many Uniforms.

Berlin March 1.-The features in the Reichstag today was the long speeches by Herr Rebel, the Socialist leader. and General von Finem, Minister of War, on military matters.
 Herr Bebel criticised sharply various conditions in the army and quoted mill tary writers in support of his views. He maintained that the present system of army manouvres was useless and cited a military writer who had said that if the army was led in the next war as 1t was during the manouvres attended by the Emperor, the defeat of Germany would be unavoidable. Drill Is a mere prepara- ton for parade display; there Is too much luxury in the army and the frequent changes or uniform tend to increase this luxury.
 Herr Rebel referred to the matreatment of soldiers, and asserted that practically nothing was done to prevent th's. He said the fact that the electoral Prince or Saxe-Meningen had been dismissed from the command of the 9th army corps inl- mediately after issuing a general order against the maltreatment of soldiers, hal created a peculiar impression. Herr Bebel attacked the administration of the army for expressing the discussion Of military questions in the press by ofii- cers on the active or inactive lists. and declared that army officers in France have liberty of discussion.
 General von Finem denied the right of the socialists to claim that they were helping to improve the army since they disseminated discontent. Socially recruits, he said, enter the army with q spirit that fosters insubordination and this is responsible for much of the maltreat- ment He denied that Prince of Saxe- Meningen had been dismissed on ac- count of his order against the maltreat- ment, and said:
 Whom his majesty appoints as a corps commander is a purely private af- fair of his majesty. the Emperor. I ut terly decline to speak of this matter be- cause 1 know nothing about it. More over the prince was not dismissed, but was mado an inspector general. Officers of the corps are the highest class in the nation, because they arc the educated flower of the natiOn."
 At this remark Herr BebeI shouted: 'The highest class in the nation are the teachers"
 Gen. von Finem continuing, denied that the German maneuvers were worthless and stated that Lord Kitchener was in troducing similar maneuvers into India. | as a result of the experience gained at the battle of Omdurman.

A DR'S. FOOD.
Found a Food That Lifted Him Out
 of Trouble.

The food experience of a doctor experi- menting with himself Is worth knowing. He says:
 T had acid dyspepsia since have any knowledge. from eight years old l know.
 Tt w rked down from stomach to in- testines locating at the umbilicus, in en- teritis until six years ago the agony every few days was something terrible. l have walked the floor for hours unable to eat or digest if I should eat.
 Medicine would not relieve me at all. Four years ago began the use of Grape Nuts and since the first dish have never had an attack of the old trouble. I take four tablespoonfuls once day with my supper which Is composed only of whole wheat bread and the Grape-Nuts.
 The wonderful part of my case Is that I have never had an attack or even any of the dreadful symptoms since the very first meal of Grape-Nuts. Most of my patients know how suddenly and prompt ly Grape-Nuts cured me and l have pre- scribed the food with good results in many cases" Name given by Postum O.. Battle Creek Mich
 Grape-Nuts is regularly prescribed in place of medicine by many physicians for stomach or intestinal trouble, lack oi nourishment, brain-fag and nervous pros tratlon. The result usually shows i'm mediate improvement and a speedy com. plete cure.

BARRNGTON'S STORY
TAKES THE STAND IN HIS OWN BEHALF.
Seems Unwillingly to Tell Much of His Past, But Says He is Not
 the English Crook Burton.

St. Louis, March L-After the examina- tion of a number of witnesses for the defense in the trial ofs "Lort' Barring ton. for the alleged murder of James P, MeCann, the defendant himself took the stand late today and continued to give testimony at tonight's session of court. BarrinGton was apparently unwilling to divulge much information concerning his past. and 1t was only by rigid questioning that he made known the following:
 He testified that his real name Is Frederick Augustus Harrington Seymour, that he had never posed as an English nohleman: that he was born In India. and had spent . number of years in that country. and that he was . war cor respondent during the South African war. He denied empha atically that he was Bur ton. a noted English crook, or had gone under the alias of 'Burgoyne."
 He said his mothers name was Bar rington, but refused to explain how his last name was Seymour" He declared there was enough disgrace now without bringing her into this, and he would tell nothing of her more than she lives near Brighton, England He said he had crossed to the United States from Europe twelve times and the last time arrived in New York. 1902, after having landed at Halifax, N. s., from England and from
  c. He said his younger sister had died in Washington, D. C.. but declined to say when or who she was.
 He refused to state what business he pursued in England, or in the United States. He said he came to St. Louis December 27, 1902, and has since remained here and in this vicinity. Burlington then proceeded to relate his story of the cir cumstances connected with the alleged murder of McCann. Epitomized. his tes- timoDy YVES to the effect that McCann had invited him to 50 tc Bonfils with him on the night of June F to meet some friends. At Bonfils, when they left the car and started down the path, somebody whis- tied and McCann whistied in response. Suddenly they were set upon by assail- ants and both were knocked down. Baf- rington fought with the assailants in the dark and was knocked senseless and laid in that condition until dawn. He could not find McCann and proceeded to walk to St. Louis, where he went to McCanns s home and told Mrs. McCann off, the as- sauit.
 It is expected the defence will conclude tomorrow forenoon and the case will go to the jury before evening.
