was not the most eloquent by any
means: but no speech has been de-

We do not refer to his able and
conclusive defense of his administra-
ton. That was worth while. We re-
Ter to his defence of his educatiOal
and temperance policy. 1t was in
these two points that criticism has
been offered him. Men who knew
that the Constitution OF the United
States made it impossible have gone
up and down deceiving the people
with talk of industrial education of
negroes, as If the free schools could
give such education. But Governor
Aycock did not defend his policy on

Justly by him. We need him and he

race" These are not the Governors
words, but these express his mean
ing.
He carried the convention with
him. There is no danger that the
negroes in North Carolina will re-
ceive too much education from the
Tree schools. We should not grudge
the little that they receive. As the
Governor says, they are in our pow
er. We have taken charge of them.

NAPOLEON, A. Seen
by His Associates
PEN PORTRAITS OF NAPOLEON
copyright, 1904. by G. L. Kilmer.l

I'm tile high tide of the consulate, or
about 1902, Napoleon attached to
his household a new private Sec
rotary in the person OF Baron
Meneval. The description of Napo-
leon penned by Meneval is probably
the best in existence which can be ap-
piled to the time Of the coronation In
1904
NAPOLEON was at that time moder-
ately stout" he says. His stoutness
was increased later on by the frequent
use of baths, which he took to refresh
himself after his fatigues. 1t may be
mentioned that he had taken the habit
Of bathing himself every day at lrreg-
ular hours, IL practice which he con-
siderably modified when it was point
ed out by his doctor that the frequent
use Of hot baths and the time he spent
in them were weakening and would
predispOse to obesity.
Napoleon was of mediocre stature
(about five feet six inches and well
built, though the bust was rather long.
His head WAS big and the skull largely
developed His neck was short and
his shoulders broad. The size of his
chest bespoke robust constitution,
less robust however, than his mind.
His legs were well shaped. His foot
was small and well formed. His hand.
and he was rather proud of it, was
delicate and plump, with tapering fin
gers. His forehead was high and
broad, his eyes gray, penetrating and
wonderfully mobile. His nose was
straight and we'll shaped. His teeth
were fairly good, the mouth perfectly
modelled. the upper lip slightly drawn
down toward the corner of the mouth
and the chin slightly prominent. His
