A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

It is interesting to note that for tunes are frequently made by the in. vention of articles of minor impor tance. Many of the most popular de- vices are those designed to benefit the people and meet popular conditions, and one of the most interesting of these that has ever been invented is the Dr White Electric comb, patented January l, 1899. These wonderful combs positively cure dandruff, hair falling out, sick and nervous head aches, and when used with Dr Whites Electric hair brush are positively guar anteed to make straight hair curly in 25 days time. Thousands of these electric combs have been sold in vsri- ous cities of the Union, and the de- mand is constantly increasing. Our agents are rapidly becoming rich sell ing these combs. They positively sell on sight. Send for sample. Mems size 35c; ladies' 5ec-Ahalf price while we are introducing themj. The pr White Electric Comb Co.,, Decatur, Ill.

 The strawberry festival was largely attended and fine sum netted. Just 5 numbers were sold for supper, that included cake, ice cream and straw berries, with all the trimmings. Many thanks to the brothers and sisters who contributed and especially is this ex- tended to Brother Marvin, who pre- sented the Grange with most beauti- full berries and also Brother Morris, who gave. the sugar, and Brother Humphrey, who furnished the cream for them. Who says the Grange is not success when there exists peace and unison in an organization? All due to the hustling Master, who does not believe in fraternity discords.

 This place has again been shocked by the sudden death of Mrs Henry BOutilier. She has for the past few years been in a demented and down. cast condition. At one time she was taken to Meriden for treatment but her mental faculties were never fully restored. Of late she seemed to be quite like herself to the passers-by. She was naturally bright, and active in the society of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which her hus- band was a member; also in the church and community. She leaves a hus- band and two sisters, one of Brooklyn and Mrs Frank Voisard of Warren. She will be missed for her seat will be vacant. Her funeral was attended at her late home on Monday, June 20, at 2 o'clock. Neighbors and friends from the surrounding country filled the house.

He denies that Napoleons armies
were well fed and paid as most histoTi-
ans say they were. He cites Napoleons
own letters complaining that the pay
of the troops was months in arrears.
Three months pay was due the grand
army assembled to invade Russia be-
fore it started. He even accuses the
Emperor of viewing the slaughter of
his soldiers with equanimity, not be-
cause it could not be helped, but be-
cause it relieved him of the task of
paying them.
He attributes Napoleon's success in
maintaining himself so long to an elab-
crate system of deception, plumber, and
force. SO far as possible the people
at home were kept in ignorance of real
conditions. The press was under rigid
censorship, soldiers who could write
were watched and their letters home
suppressed, while lying bulletins We're
continually dinned into the public ear.
The projects and other officials were
kept up to their work by giving them
titles and honors and by permitting
them to enrich themselves by commits

shown from Mr.. MOrvans documents,
he will hardly convince the world that
Napoleon was a mere despot, cunning
in fraud and in the distribution Of plum
der. There have survived within the
memory of living men too many sol
diers of Napoleon who did not profit
personally by his career-who were
never more than common soldiers-and
yet who idoHzed him, were ready to die
for him, and gave every evidence Of
loving him.
Though Napoleon undoubtedly abused
his popularity grossly, so that it finally
broke down and left him helpless. it
will take more evidence than Mr.. Nor
van has collected from the records OF
discomfort to convince mankind that
the French people did not, as a whole
and for many years, fully approve his
policies and that he was not genuinely
popular with the people.
Without general support by the
masses NapOleOn's career would have
been impossible, and to affirm now that
he was hated b. the masses even in
the height of his glory is to affirm an
absurdity.-Ch Inter-Ocean

what is history" Napoleon is re-
ported to have said, but a fable agreed
upon?" According to Jean Morvan,
the general belief that Napoleon was,
at least until near the close of his
career, admired esteemed, and even
loved by the French people-was ge-
nuinely popuar-must be classed as
"a fable agreed upon"
Mr. Morvan has been searching in
the communal and prefectural archives
and in those of the Ministry of the
Interior of France for evidence as to
how the Napoeonic empire bore upon
the masses of the people and how it
was regarded by them. He has found
cords of documents from which he
seeks to prove, in his recent book call
ed I'm Soldat Imperial" that NapO-
Icons policy of war and conquest was
not popular and that Napoleon him
self long before his fall was dis
trusted and even bitterly hated by the
masses.
He shows from the reports of mayors
and projects that even before the end
of the Consulate the severest measures
were necessary to recruit the army De-
sertion became frequent and all over
France the peasantry screened deser-
ters. Youths liable to CONSUMPTION
mutilated themselves by knocking out
their front teeth so that they could not
bite cartridges. and in other ways,
often more seriously. He also alleges
that the Tilsit DEGREES, by depriving the
people of sugar and coffee, inflicted
great suffering and caused general
hatred of Napoleon.
