Napoleon rs lover would be fine

sense, and that his lovemakine was
OF the brutal sort. But letter from
Citizen BonaDarto" to Josephine,

band has no rest, no happiness, no
life. Ah but for one moments happi-
ness. Could but for one moment be
with you now and feast my eyes upon
that dearest OF all faces, I am
all yours. Life, fortune. pleasure
these are only what you make them
for me. TO live with Josephine Is to

Angry Moor Tries to Put His Harem
To Death

According TO the Figaro Of Paris the
French government finds itself face
to face with u new phase OF the
Moroccan question.
When few months ago Tangier
merchant went to Paris he took with
him three of his prettiest wives and
n native servant as chaperon He es-
tablished himself in fiat on the Left
Bank Of the Seine, and at once set
out to see the city. The harem fin
ally became weary with solitude, and
by the aid Of the servant procured
European costumes and set out to see
the sights on its own account. Mo-
hammed Ben Ferma, the husband,
however. discovered the truth and be-
came angry.
In order to prevent a repetition OF
the escapaae he took away from his
wives their European clothes and had
an iron-barred cage fitted up in one
of the rooms In which he placed his
wives when he went out. Again the
servant betrayed his trust. for 20
francs locksmith furnished a dupl-
cate key, and once more the three
members of the harem enjoyed their
liberty. But It was not TO last.
One night Mohammed returned TO
the fiat earlier than usual and found
the cage empty. He awaited his
wires' return. When they came in
he proceeded TO try them according
to the law of the Koran and sen.
fenced them TO death. Suddenly the
neighborhood was aroused by awful
screams.
When the police burst into the fiat
they found Mohammed preparing to
bowstring his wives. He was annoyed
at being interrupted and turned upon
the rescuers, fighting like mad. 1t
took six policemen to subdue him.
He is now in prison. The authorities
are wondering what to do with the
harem.

There are two things here that |

young New York woman who had just
returned to her native city after a
stay Of several years on the conti-
nent "One Is the extraordinary
number OF pretty girls see every
where, the other Is the brilliancy OF
the clothes the women wear in the
street cars, subway trains and on the
Elevated. After living IN Germany
for few years, where the girls are
not particularly pretty, and they dress
like frights, It is constant delight to
me to walk ON Fifth avenue or Broad
way and in the shopping districts just
for the sake Of seeing all the pretty
girls | constantly find myself asking
the question, are they as lovely as
they seem to be to me, or Is II simply
the question of their being dressed so
smartly and becomingly? | know it
must be that they are pretty, and yet
It seems too good TO be true.
"As for the other spectacle | spoke
OF, that of the brilliancy of the won.
ems dresses In public conveyances,
1t is explained away by the fact that
people abroad who can afford TO
dress anywhere nearly as smart as
our women do, would ride in cabs.
That is one way in which We profit by
the high cab fares. We see all sorts
of beautiful costumes that would 9TH
