There has been much interest
aroused throughout the state over an
alleged defect in the election laws in
that the last general assembly failed
to make provision for registration
boards until the next general election.
The possibility OF this preventing
city elections in Iowa next spring
naturally created quite stir. Word
comes from Waterloo now to the effect
that @. W. Mullan, former attorney
general, has expressed the opinion
that the neglect of the last Legislature
to provide for appointment of
registration boards for next spring IS
election and for the primary will not
prevent the holding of either or in
validate either. While TIE new pri-
mary law does not provide for the
registration OF electors it is Mr..
Mullan's opinion that it was the intent
of the Legislators to make it possible
to hold elections without registration
and that the new law is not invalid
in that respect.

The Milwaukee railroad took one of
the most radical steps last week that
has been attempted by any road in
years-the abolition of all freight
soliciting and removal of all freight
solicitors. The officials of the road
claim that the freight business became
so heavy that there is no need OF
soliciting to stimulate business, that
the freight traffic is so heavy, in fact,
that there is much difficulty in hand
ling in. The Milwaukee is the only
road that has taken this step, and it
is not known whether the others will
follow suit or not.

THE OLD NAPOLEON.

By Robert G. Ingersoll: A little
while ago stood by the grave of the
old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb of
gilt and gold, fit almost for dead
deity-and gazed upon the sarcopha-
gus of rare Egyptian marble, where
rests at last the weary ashes of that
restless man. l leaned over the
balustrade and thought about the
career of the greatest soldier of the
modern world.
saw him walking upon the banks
of the Seine contemplating suicide.
I saw him at Toulon. / saw him put
ting down the mob in the streets of
Paris. / saw him at the head of the
army in Italy. saw him crossing
the bridge at Lodi with the tricolor
in his hand. saw him in Egypt in
the shadows of the pyramids. l saw
him conquer the Alps and mingle the
eagles of France with the eagles OF
the crags. saw him at Marengo,
at Ulm, and at Austerlitz. / saw
him in Russia, where the infantry of
the snow and the cavalry of the wild
blast scattered his legions like win
ter's withered leaves. / saw him at
Leipsic in defeat and disaster-driven
by million bayonets back upon
Paris-clutched like a wild beast.
banished to Elba. l saw him escape
and retake an empire by the force of
his genius. l saw him upon the
frightful field of Waterloo. where
chance and fate combined to wreck
the fortunes of their former king.
And saw him at st. Helena, with
his hands crossed behind him, gazing
out upon the sad and solemn sea.
And / thought of the widows and
orphans he had made, of the tears that
had been shed for his glory, and of
the only woman he ever loved pushed
from his side by the cold hand of am
bition. And 1 said l would rather
have been French peasant and worn
wooden shoes; / would rather have

over the door, and the grapes growing
purple in the amorous kisses of the
autumn sun; would rather have
been that poor peasant with my wife
by my side knitting as the day died
out of the sky, with my children upon
my knees and their arms about me;

the dreamless dust, than to have been

The Pugnacity of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from
cabinet the other day a handsome pair
Of brown gloves.
"Ratskin," he said. ''These gloves
are made Of ratskin. They look well
at first glance, but examine them care
fully. Look into the skin"
The skin, though soft and fine and
supple, revealed on close examination
great many cuts and scars and
scratches. None of these went quite
through; nevertheless their effect was
to weaken the gloves greatly.
''Those cuts and scars" said the
manufacturer, "are what bar ratskln
out Of glove making. You never get
skin without them. Hence you cant
make a good, strong, perfect ratskln
glove.
these scars are the result of the
rats pugnacity. Rats fight so mucn
that they become at an early age
mass of scars. Their torn hides are
of no use to commerce. New Orleans

An undying and peculiar charm lies

In Pretella we made the discovery
that not only were we Marghertta's
guests, but we were the guests of the
village; for the village was but one ex-
tended home.
Margherita led us Into one fine old
building which had once been a pal
ace. From the cohfered ceiling hung
strings of the beautiful yellow corn Of
Italy. Margherita complacently point
ed out a portion, observing, ''This Is
my granturco." And presently, leading
us into another house whose rafters
were fine with such decorations, she re-
marked again:
"Those are my sausage my bacon,
my smoked pig"
Well, one could accept that; but
when in the afternoon we came to a
splendid chestnut grove, and Margher-
