How the lmperialistio Emblem Came

How the lmperialistio Emblem Came
to 30 Adopted,
An old French pamphlet published In
| 1915 tells how tho violet came to be the
emblem OF the lmpcriallst. or Napole-
onic, party In France,
Three days before going into exile on
the island OF Elba Napoleon was walk
ing up and down a garden at Fontaine.
bleu, discussing his future with the
Due de Bassano and General Bertrand.
He was still uncertain whether he
should go to Elba quietly at the bid
ding of his enemies or whether he
should try to offer some resistance,
The Due de Bassano was urging him to
strike a blow for his llberty-bad ad.
vice surely.
As the trio walked back and forth
they came upon child three or four
years old who was picking ylolets.
Napoleon called the baby to him and
asked for his flowers, and the little
thing gave the emperor all he had. A
silence In the political talk followed
until Napoleon. who always had vein
of superstition In his reasonlngs, said;
We'll gentlemen. am thinking of
that child. That chance meeting seems
to me like a piece OF secret advice,
warning me for the future to initiate
the modesty OF this tower. Yes, the
violet shall henceforward be the EN-.
blem OF my desires"
"Sire." said Bertrand boldly, "for
your majcsty's glory Ike to think
that feeling win last no longer In you
than the flowers that inspired It."
But the emperor. silent and unheed,
ing now, withdrew aud went TO his
private rooms The next day he was
seen walking In the garden with n
bunch OF violets In his buttonhole and
STOPPING now and again TO pluck more,
A man named Choudieu, n grenadlcr
of the guard. was on sentry duty. and,
taking advantage OF the laxity OF dis
cipline that prevailed in this hour OF
ruin. he yentured TO speak TO the fallen
sovereign,
"In another year, sire, the vlolets
will be growing thicker here, You can
gather them with less trouble"

almost all Of them"
"Ah, well. tell them to feel, but not
to talk. When your sentry duty is
over, go TO General Bertrand. He will
give you twenty napoleons. But keep
the secret"
Choudieu did not keep entirely secret
the story OF his conference with his
majesty, but he threw veil over his
illusions and taught the other soldiers
to do so by calling their great and
worshiped leader Father Violet. Little
by little talk about Father Violet
reached the public. and to wear n
bunch of violets by the time the next
season came around was recognized
sign of imperialistic sympathies. To
this day violets are not worn in tLg
same general way In France that t,c,
are here and in England becG.,"e t',a.'

bunch in his buttonhole any more than
he would wear republican tricolor
