 Napoleon understood human nature. He recognized the great truth, "AS 3 man thlnketh in hls heart so is he," aud knew how to apply 1t not only to himself and his own ambitious proj- ects, but to other men 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 fa- tigue and failure may cover It's light temporarily.
 A French soldier carried a dispatch to Napoleon. Just as he delivered 1t Into the hands of the emperor his spent horse dropped dead. Napoleon wrote an answer to the dispatch, then, dismounting from bis own horse, he handed the bride to the soldier, 0

 The soldier mounted and rode away on his perllous business, ready and willing. and Napoleon's words, repeat. ed through the ranks and columns of his army. gave 10 his tired troops fresh inspiration and energy.

CRUSADE IS BEGUN
BY THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
 CHURCH.
Foe Speaker Of House Who VIII Al- low Congress To Vote On The Interstate Liquor Shipment
 Question.

Baltimore, Md. Aug. 12.--The Metho- dist Episcopal Church has begun an active crusade for the election of a Speaker who will allow Congress to vote on the interstate liquor shipment question"
 The church. which has over 5000. 900 of communicants. has created the Tenn perance Society. of the M. F. Church. with authority to represent the denomi- nation in all temperance matters. This society is managed by a board com posed of bishop and fifteen. members named by the bishop and elected by the late general conference. The board of managers has organized and directed its chairman to take steps to begin an active campaign. An official ad- dress has been issued to all members of the denomination asking their CO., operation. The shipment bill' which has been pending in Congress for at least five years does not seek to i'm. pose prohibition upon any locality but provides that liquor shipped from one State to another shall immediately upon crossing the boundary become subject to the laws of the State into which 1t is consigned.
 The. speaker Of the National House of Representatives" says the address, absolutely controls it's procedure. He is opposed to this legislation. He has used the power of his office to hold it in the Judiciary Committee, appointed by him on the alleged ground that it is unconstitutional Our church, by action of the recent general conference, insists that congressional doubt as to the constitutionality of such Ieglsla- ton be resolved in the interests of the people and the public morals and that the general conference unanimously adopted the report of Governor Hanlys special committees appointed to wait upon Speaker Cannon. which closes with the following words:
 We submit to our people and to all good citizens the wisdom of electing men as members of Congress who be- lieve in it's validity and who are will. ing to enact 1t.
 At least one member of the House Judiciary Committee has been defeated for the nomination on his record on this question. and we believe that the time has come when our people who want to help secure this legislation must support for Congress candidates who will not only vote for this meas ure if they get a chance, but VIII themselves support for Speaker a man who will allow 1t to be voted upon, and that its passage is improbable un- til Christian voters recognize this sit- uation and cast their ballots accord ingly."

 LAR SESSION ENDS.
No Action Was Taken On Convict In- vestigntion But This wiiI-Be
 Done At The Extra Sen-

Y Atlanta. Ga. August 12--The regular session of the Georgia Legislature ad- 1ourned tonight without taking action upon the convict lease system, which has engaged the attention. of that body, for the past several weeks and been under investigation by a commission of both Houses
 This was done in accordance with the expressed wish of Governor Hoke smith, who this morning shortly after the legislature met, sent a special message urging that the last day of the present session be devoted to measures other than the convict bills and signifying his purpose to call an extra session to dispose of this ques- tion.
 This course was therefore taken and call from the Governor is expected which will re-assembie the Leris- lature in Atlanta on or about August
 Tn the message received today. he said It was apparent satisfactory conclusion could not be reached. at this session. He cited the fact that the legislative committee had not concluded It's work of investigation and that there was not at hand sufficient information to aid in disposing of the matter.
 At the night session of the House and Senate, special resolution ap- propriating $s.000 to defray the ex- penses of the investigation was adopt- ed. 1t is also provided that the in- vestigating committee shall continue it's iabors through vacation and be prepared to report when the extra ses- sion meets.

 Commutator, Broke.

Washington. Aug, 1z-- Captain Thomas S. Baldwin. made the first of- ficial speed trial of his military diri- gible balloon before the army board at Fort Myer today.
 When within a mile of the finishing line. a secondary wire connecting the cylinder of the engine with the com mutator. broke and the motor stopped. The airship was brought down in a cornfield and after Mir. Curtiss repair ed the motor. the flight was continued. The accident prevented any possibiHi- fly of making the speed required by the contract, but Captain Baldwin has two more trials in, which to demonstrate its speed. Shortly after o'clock this afternoon the airship was brought out of the balloon tentsto the starting point. As the time approached for making the flight. Captain Baldwin expressed the opinion that the wind was blow Ing too strong.
 If 1t was not for the crowd that fs here and the fact that I said I would make the official trial today" he said. 'T would not so up."
 Mfr. Curtlss was in favor of making a flight, though the wind was too strong for a fair speed test. Every thing was made ready and after final inspection by Captain Baldwin. Mir. Curtiss sitting in the forward end. started the motor. while members of the Signal Corps held the ship. At an order from Curtiss. Captain Baldwin gave the order to release the craft and 1t shot forward as though the speed required of it were but a trifle. The first mile and quarter was apparently covered in less time than yesterday It was at this point that the wire broke.

Democratic Methods of Raising Cam-
 pafxn Funds Denounced.
 Oklahoma City, Ok, Aug. 12--En- dorsing the Chicago platform. the Re- publican naminee on the National tick ct, and President Roosevelt. Oklahoma Republicans in convention here today adopted a platform for the State cam paign.
 The Democratic method of raising political revenue by popular sub- scription was denounced. Of MT. Bryan's stand in this regard, the reso- lutions say:
 We disapprove and condemn the po- sition of the Democratic candidate for President in his undignified and re- peated personal requests of the public for campaign contributions. Not con- tent in having. amassed an immense private fortune from the public while advocating his political interests, he now claims from the public that they shall contribute further and pay the freight of his candidacy. It may be true that he has strengthened nothing of q public natHre he has touched"
 The platform favors the sale of State school lands; establishment of separ- ate schools for the races, and the strict enforcement of the prohibition laws It denounces the Democratic extrava- rance in State affairs and condemns inc primary election law.
