Their Weak Points Pass Unnoticed.
Napoleon's Marksmanship.
Rulers have always been fattered,
from Canute's time downward, it be-
ing, it would seem, an unwritten law
that a monarch's weak points should
pass un~recognized. Napoleon III. once
said, in consoling a friend who CHANGED
to be shooting with him for his poor
craftsmanship:
"You need not fret about it. The m
peror (by which he meant his uncle, the
great Napoleon ~; was even a worse
shot than you r The only time they
put a gun in his hand he killed a poo
hound and went away thinking he had
killed a stag. 4
Tn those days the stag, whenever
brought to bay, was left for the en-
peror to kill. One day, however, the
emperor was not to be found, and the
master Of the staghounds finished the
animal with his knife. Just then the
emperor came In sight.
'"They hurriedly got the dead stag on
its legs, propping it up with branches,
ETC., and handed the emperor the cara
bine Of honor as it was called. The
emperor fired, and of course the stag
tumbled over, but at the same time
there was a piteous whine from one Of
the hounds, which had been shot
through the head.
"The emperor wheeled around, IN
conscious of the mischief he had done,
saying to one Of the aids-de-camp,
After all, I am not as bad a shot as

Can Excavate Almost as Rapidly a.

During the day the badger sleeps
deep in his burrow, far out on our
western plains and prairies, and at twi-
light he starts forth on a nights forag-
ing. He is a dreaded enemy of the
prairie dog and the ground squirrel,
and when he begins to excavate for one
nothing but solid rock or death can
stop him.
With the long, blunt claws of his fore
feet he loosens up the dirt. Dig, dig,
dig! He works as though his life de-
pended on it, now scratching out the
sides Of the hole; then turning on his
back to work overhead.
At first he throws the dirt out be-
tween his hind legs, but soon he is too
far down for that, so he banks it up
back of him, then turns about and U.S.

A Strain Of Tragedy Runs THROUGH
Their History.

4 Strain Of Tragedy Runs Through
Their History.
Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were
pioneers-men who left their homes to
open up the wilderness and make the
way plain for others to follow them.
For ITO years, ever since the first
American Lincoln came from England
to Massachusetts, in 1888, they had
been moving slowly westward as new
settlements were made in the forest.
They faced solitude, privation and all
the dangers and hardships that beset
men who take up. their homes where
only beasts and wild men have had
homes before, but they continued to
press steadily forward, though they
lost fortune and sometimes even life
itself in their westward progress.
Back in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey some Of the Lincolns had been men
of wealth and influence. In Kentucky,
where the future president was born
on Feb. II, 1909, his parents lived in
deep poverty. Their home was a small
log cabin Of the rudest kind, and moth
ing seemed nor unlikely than that
their child, coming into the world In
such humble surroundings, was des-
tined to be the greatest man of his
time. True to his race, he also was to
be a pioneer, not, indeed, like his an
c~estors, a leader into new woods and
unexplored fields, but a pioneer Of a
nobler and grander sort, directing the
thoughts of men ever toward the right
and leading the American people
through difficulties and dangers and a
mighty war to peace and freedom.
The story Of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with a tragedy, for his
grandfather, also named Abraham, was
killed by a shot from an Indians rifle
while peaceably at work with his three
sons on the edge Of their frontier clear
ing. Eighty-one years later the presl-
dent himself met death by an assas-
SINS bullet. The murderer Of one was
a savage of the forest; the murderer of
the other that far more cruel thing, a
savage of civilization.-St. Nicholas.

The period of quarantine for diph.

examination has been made and it was
found that no diphtheria "sgerms

The board adopted a resolution for
bidding school boards from employing
teachers in public schools who are
afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis,
from sending pupils similarly afflicted 10
