A Little Paint Badly Applied.

The Journal des Debats in an article
on Napoleon ON the Stage" tells why
the play ''L'Homme de Destin' was
taken from the stage when its triumph
was at the zenith. One evening, ac-
cording to the story, the emperor, ac-
companied by his friend Duroc, went
in disguise to the Porte st. Martin
thea ter, where the piece was being per-
formed, Eugene Chevalier appearing
as the man of destiny. They bought
a box, but had hardly entered it when
the emperor broke forth in violent exc
crations against the fool managers"
It seemed that the decorators had left
in the box pots of oil and paint, and
into these the emperor had stepped.
"Wih with rage" says the writer, she
rushed from the house and, to make
matters worse, was recognized in the
lobby. No paper mentioned the Incl
dent, but by order of the emperor the
play was never produced again. and
Chevalier never appeared again as the
man of destiny-and all on account Of
a little paint badly applied"

Nominating q President.

Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the vice pres
ident were voted for ON the same bal
lot, the man with the second highest
number of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote.
Before 1900 it was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and it was not until 1923
that presidential electors were chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
AS late as 1875 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There is nothing
in the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming its own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method of election is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential can
didates were chosen by the members
Of congress in caucus. In 1924 the
electoral college failed to make choice
from the candidates so submitted, and
the matter went to the house Of repre-
sentatives. Four years later Tennes-
sees legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference to the
congressional caucus. His opponent,
John Quincy Adams. was nominated in
the old way, but that was the end of
presidential nominations by congress
sional caucus.

President Elect Taft Would
Improve This System
Of Navigation.
1863, 100000 SCHEME UP.
PROPOSED TO DREDGE THE OHIO
RIVER AND iF WORK WAS
PUSHED IT COULD BE DONE IN
A DECADE.

Hot Springs, Nov 28-Federal bond
ISSUES for large waterway improve
,ment projects are favored by Presi-
ldent-elect Taft. He believes the cost
of increasing the usefulness of the
tgreat navigable highways of the coun-
TRY should not be borne entirely by the
present generation, but should be
shared by future generations, who will
profit as much by their improvement.
Mr.. Taft discussed this subject with
Albert Bettinger, of Cincinnati, Vice
President of the Ohio Valley Improve
ment Association, who came here to
enlist his active sympathy and aid in
che interest of the project to secure a
nine-foot depth in the Ohio River from
Pittsburg to Cairo, Illinois.
The cost of this particular scheme
of canalization was estimated last
winter by Board of Army Engineers
appointed by Mr. Taft, then Secretary
of War, at between s63,000,000 and
$64 100000. Under the method of
making appropriations for river and
'harbor improvements that has been in
vogue up to this time Congress would
take several decades to make provis-
ion for its completion. Money would
be appropriated for carrying on the
work at few points only instead of
at numerous points along the river.
, But it is estimated that If bonds
were issued the entire work could be
finished within a decade. When Mr.
Bettinger spoke to the President-elect
about using his influence with Repre-
sentative Burton of Ohio, who, in his
capacity as Chairman of the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors,
will draw up and have charge of the
river and harbor bill this winter.

Little Memo is a young lad who wan
