NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, call
Nv ed by his enemies the par
yenu emperor" assembled the
a throne of France in 1904. For
ten years he held tie worlds stage as
the most amazing figure in all history,
rivaling in his achievements the fame
of Alexander, Caesar and Hannibal.
After boxing real kings and queens
about, like a child with playhouse pup
pets, he was himself deposed, and for
nearly Il century the nations he had
dazzled or upturned looked upon him
as whirwind of ruthless and well
nigh irresistible energy whose advent
had best be forgotten. Great minds
sought in the secrecy of the closet to
comprehend him; now and then mas
ter essayed TO portray him. His en-
emies Lad the louGcst voice for two
score years, or until the theatrical res
toration of his dynasty under his
nephew, Napoleon III, in 1851. Then
followed fattery and eulogy, likewise
the continued suppression of impartial
views.
Years after the collapse Of the second
empire 0S7O) came third revival or
interest in Napoleon l., and mass OF
contemporary memoirs and authentic
documents have from time to time
emerged from their hiding as materials
for the student and historian. Mean
while the ghost of Napoleon has been
laid; fear and passion have died out,
and today the world is eager to under
stand and appreciate where once IT
was glad to belittle and forget. To
meet the newly awakened curiosity
about the great Corsican, l have been
asked to prepare Il series of articles or
studies depicting Napoleon the man
as he was known to his closest associ-
ates at different epochs in his marvel
GUS career In these columns, therefore,
other pens than mine will speak, pens
that We're busy in the very shadow Of
NapoleGn's mighty personality.
My authorities will be the men and
wcmpn of the immediate circle in which
Napoleon moved as boy at school, as
Il junior officer in the service Of the
king, as general and first consul; peo
pie CT the imperial household, his COM
rades in arms, his secretaries, his cabi-
net ministers, his valet de chambre, the
contidants of Josephine and the COM
panOns of the exile of st. Helena.
Upon their authentic memoirs, their
private journals. their secret diaries
and private correspondence is turned
the searchli"ht of modern investigation
to the end that Napoleon need no longer
be an enigma to minds wishing to I'M
derstand him.

an institution of Eapoleon's time. There

They found their greatest joy
And trimming down the boys from

That it appears men froZs their ears
Before they went d yard,
But still they didn't mind it.
Such things did not annoy
The hardy men who fOuriShed then,
when grandpa was a boy.
When grandpa was a youngster
The daughters of that day
Would quite Outclass the modern lass
For beauty and display.
They didn't haunt the parlors like

Divinity OF Labor.

Labor is divine The Son of God was
an industrious carpenter. Every man
needs to have something to do. 1t not
only makes him safe for this life-it Is
a divinely appointed means for making
him safe for the life to come. Charac-
ter is perfected, the divine possibility
discovered, only by labor. Labor saves
the man and saves the world. In Hol-
man Hunts noble picture we see Jesus
the carpenter saving a board at the
bench. The sun as it streams in from
behind is caught by his figure at its
toll, and there is cast on the work
room floor the shadow of himself on his
cross. As we do our days work we are
bearing the worlds burdens, are help
ing to save the world unto the Divine

The Ideas Not a Bad One.

Wilmington Messenger.
The Roanoke News suggests that
where IL man is killed by another in
this State, instead of the slayer
being indicted that the personal
representative OF the deceased shall
bring suit in the civil courts against
the slayer of the man he represents.
The News says that whenever there
is a murder the defendant is acquitted
but anybody who gets an injury by
a railway accident can secure dam
ages. 1t therefore makes the follow
ing suggestions:
When a man of money and influence
murders another in cold blood in North
Carolina, he escapes, as rule, without
punishment, but if railroad train kills
a man by accident, the company is sued
and made to pay heavy damages. Ii
our courts cannot or will not, convict
these murderers then why not sue them
for damages?"

"a friend of mine, an overworked
editor said Senator Depew, took last
summer his first vacation in seven
teen years.
HE went to a rugged New England
district, quaint village that nestled
at the foot of great mountains on the
shore of a deep lake.
He arrived on a bright, fine morn
ing, and so greatly was he pleased with
the grandeur of the scenery and with
the pure and perfumed air that, setting
out for a little exercise, he soon found
himself leaping fences, running, sing
ing and dancing through the country
like a child.
Suddenly. as he skipped around
curve of a quiet road, a hand was laid
on his shoulder, and a stern, angry
face looked into his.
Come with me to the station
house, a harsh voice said.
Why, what for?' said the amazed
editor.

The Choates have taken up their resi-

Hertingfordbury is a popular neighbour

The statement is now given out that they

The general impression is that Mrs
Mott is quite one OF the seasons sue

SONS RETURN DEAD
IN SHIPS SAME DAY
Widowed Mother Receives Bod.

NEW YORK, Sept. By a sad and

the little town of Oxford, N. j., receiv-

rived at New York by different YES
sells at the same time, of her two sons,
who died accidentally, within six days
of each other, in widely separated cit
les of South America.
On May 16 George S. Henry aged
thirty, chief representative Of the Bar
Der Asphalt company at BuenoS Ayres,
was accidentally suffocated by gas in
his bathroom at his home in the cap
ital of the Argentine republic.
On May % his brother, William Hem
ry, aged thirty-three, manager of
gold mining company at Puenta Are
mas, Chile, was drowned in that port
while going out to a mail steamer in a
rowboat with seven other persons. The
boat was in tow of tug and the tow
line became fouled, capsizing the little
craft and drowning two persons be-
sides William Henry. News of Georges
death had scarcely reached Phillip w.
Henry, the surviving brother and vice
president of the Medina Quarry COM
pany at Albion, N. Y, when word Of
Williams drowning arrived. Phillip
Henry notified his widowed mother at
Oxford, N. j.. and arrangements We're
made by relative to have the bodies
brought here for burial. BY singular
coincidence both bodies arrived in port
at the same time on different steamers
and were taken to the home of Mrs.
Henry at Oxford, where the funeral
services were held.
Both brothers were born in Western
New York, and for several years were
connected with an asphalt company in
that part of the state. George Henry
left here two years ago to represent an
asphalt company in Buenos Ayres,
where he became a we'll known citizen
and business man. He was unmarried.
William Henry married q young
