When we prod a polecat with a
pointed stick we expect as a matter
OF course that said polecat will
make use of the weapons of de-
tense provided by supposedly all
wise providence. 1t was not a
surprise, therefore, that Johnny,
representing that portion of the
polecat anatomy that mans the bat
ery, turned his small bore gun on
the Herald editor, for if there is a
sore spot on Johnny you find it
"nen you touch him about the
guarantee. But if the collection
u the guarantee" is made any the
easier, we are willing to suffer
martyrdom, and Johnny can come
back with his mudslinging abuse
whenever the spirit (bottled)
moves him. But he is fooling only
himself II he thinks he is binding
.ne people to the real question. The
'ssue IS not one mans personality,
VI now often he may have offered
UNSET as a sacrifice upon the altar
u political ambition or party fealty.
out the real present question, raised
W Johnny himself, is how much of
ruilman's growth is due to the sa-
D0n interest? Through the accept
auce OF the guarantee, Johnny
as taken upon himself the cham
pionship of the cause of the saloon
lunch, and it's up to him to try to
snow where Pullman is benefited
. Ny the presence of the booze en-
Poflum, or to stand convicted OF
accepting money under false pre-
nSes. The Herald will prove its
s'0e Of the contention, that ''Pull-
'ans growth is not because of the
@ioOn interest, but in spite of it, "
ua unless all signs fail. the people
make ancient history of the
'on issue after next December.

Had Josephine borne Napoleon an

had come to attempt his life been sue
cessful in his mission one thrust from
that vulgar kitchen knife which the
lad concealed would have shattered ali
the glories whose fashioning had caused
such rivers of blood to fiow He re-
solved upon the divorce of Josephine
He would take as his wife a princess
and found dynasty. Whom should
he marry? Should it be a princess of
the Russian royal house or a princess
of another? He slept in the palace of
the man whom he had but newly re-
conquered, the emperor of Austria, and
slept, as fate would have it, in the very
room in which the heir for whom he
prayed was destined to die. Under the
roof of the son of the Caesars he re-
solved to marry that mans daughter
A little while earlier she had heard
that the tide of battle had turned
against the French and had written
to her father: 1--WE have heard with
great JOY that Napoleon was present

months after the French troops entered

walton of France. A man wiser in the
matter than himself had pointed to
Russian marriage, foreseeing renewed
hpstilities with either Austria or Rus
STA. Napoleon, he said, knew his way
to Vienna; he doubted whether he knew
the road to st. Petersburg. Napoleon
chose to find, as he afterward said,
that the marriage was but an abyss
strewn with flowers. The marriage
led inevitably to the calamitous Rus
sian campaign and to the breakup of
his empire. His ruin began with his
marriage to the princess who was to
be the mother of his child. All France
acclaimed the union with joy, which
was eclipsed only by the birth Of the
heir.--St. James Gazette.
