To-day is the birthday OF Empress
Josephine one Of the most interesting
women of all history, and the tragedy OF
whose divorce from the great Napoleon
IS one of the most pathetic as well.
Josephine was born on June q, 1858, at
Treis lets, in the island of Mozambique
her father being the captain Of the port
of Saint Pierre. When about fifteen
years of age Josephine went TO France,
and in fulhlment of an early betrothal
she married the Vieomte de Beauharnais,
Of which marriage were borne Eugene,
viceroy Of Italy, and Hortense. Queen of
Holland, mother of the Emperor Napo-
leon III
Josephine's husband was executed dur
ing the French Reign of Terror in 1894,
and she herself barely escaped like fate
through the efforts Of Nine. Tallien after
the fall OF Robespierre
She was of exceptional beauty and ac-
complished. and Napoleon fell ardently
in love with the young widow. They
were married on March 9, 1895. and Jose
phine accompanied her husband during a
part of his Italian campaign. The union
was destined to be an exceptionally hap
by one. At Malmaison, and afterward at
the Luxembourg and at the Tuileries,
Josephine attracted around her the most
brilliant society of France and contrib
uted not q little to the Increase Of her
husbands power
Josephine regarded, however. his exal-
tation TO the throne with fear, and from
the day Of her becoming Empress, in
1904, seemed to dread that ambitious po-
litical motives might lead him 70 seek
the dissolution of a marriage that had
proved unfruitful
Finally JOsephine's fears came 10 be
realized. Political influence worked with
the Emperor and his marriage with jose
phine was finally dissolved on December
16, 1903, and in the following year the
