Next meteorologists announced great

1t was in the old cabinet room on the
ground floor of the prime minister's house
where occurred the dramatic scene be-
tween Lord Grey and Stuart, a London
coal merchant, who had amassed a for
tune. Stuart wanted to become a great
power in politics and so bought the Cour-
papers. He visited Lord Grey and offered
him the support of the paper. The gov
ernment stood then in great need of sup
port of the press and the premier was de-
lighted. But Stuart was unlike the mod
ern newspaper proprietor. He had. no
diplomacy. He blurted out that in return
he wanted the treasury patronage-that
is. the dispensing of all the offices in the
gift of the prime minister.
Lord Grey was furious. You deserve
to be thrown out of the window" he
said ''but - and there was an i'm
pressive silence. Lord Grey rang the bell

FRESH INSPIRATION.
Napoleon and His Attitude Toward
the Common Soldier.


Napoleon understood human nature.
He recognized the great truth, las a
man thinketh in his heart SO is he"
and knew how to apply it not only to
himself and his own ambitious prof.
ects, but to other G as well. More
over, he knew precisely the right mo-.
ment to apply it to quicken the spark
of divine energy which smolders in
every man, although the ashes Of ia
tigue and failure may cover it's light
temporarily.
A French soldier carried a dispatch
to Napoleon. Just Is he delivered it
into the hands of the emperor his
spent horse dropped dead. Napoleon
wrote an answer to the dispatch, then,
dismounting from his own horse, he
handed the bride to the SOLDIER
'Take this horse and ride back, com.
rade." he said.
"Nay. SIRE" stammered the soldier,
gazing at the blooded horse and it's
trappings. ut is too magnificent and
grand for me, Il common soldier"
'Take it!v commanded Napoleon.
"There is nothing too grand and mag.
nificent for a soldier of France"
The soldier mounted and rode away
on his perilous business. ready and
willing. and Napoleon's words. repeat
ed through the ranks and columns OF
his army, gave to his tired troops
fresh inspiration and energy. moth,
ing too grand and magnificent for a
soldier of France!" they said. and the
thought that they We're worthy Of the
best inspired them to the mighty deeds
which followed.
