And it's always bright on the days he bales,
For lie cooks it in the sur.
And then. when it's sugary. shiny bright,
The good little children come
And they cat the cooEv mar bite by bite
And every STIR is 4 crumo.

PAINTING OF 1.-THE LAST
PHASE OF NAPOLEON

The painting now on exhibition at
S. H. Baynard's store, Fifth and Mar
ket streets. Of the Last Phase of Ma
poleon" is deserving Of more than pass
ing notice. In It can be preceived how
wearisome was the eaptivity Of st.
Helena to the man who practically
dominated Europe and whose brilliant
military genius elevated France far
above her present status The victor
les Of Marenzo. Jena. Austerlitz and
Lodi were. it is true. but the prelude
to the disasters Of Moscow and Water
loo. and a lost cause and supreme
power destroyed the balance Of his
judgment and common sense and so
brought about his fall. The perpetu-
alton of his dynasty by his unfortunate
marriage with Marie Theresa of
Austria inveiglsd him at the. urgency
of the Emperor of Austria into the
disastrous Russian campaign, and his
abandonment of Josephine was the be-
ginning Of the end Of his career and
the star of his destiny which weighed
so largely in his mind was but the
luck of the gambler on a vast scale.
With the passing of empire and
isolated on the lonely rock of st.
Helena in the South Atlantic, the re-
grets of the past changed that imperial
face as the artist has conceived it into
one mournful in its helpleness.
