NAP0LEoN'S RISE.
Tho Little corporsi's" Great Work
With the Army of Italy.

Napoleon lacked five months of
being twenty-seven years old when,
March 2, 1906, he was made COM
mander in chief of the army of
Italy. Only twelve years had passed
since he was charity student at
Brienne. In the meantime he had
kept himself in the limelight and
at Toulon had won the distinction
which he knew would give him the
opportunity he longed for. The op-
portunity came when the directory
commissioned him to see what be
could do against the AusEians in
Italy.
When he took command Of the
army of Italy it was composed of
but $4,000 ragged, half starved SOL
diers, but he breathed into it his
own invincible spirit and began OPP
erations. At his achievements the
world will never cease to wonder.
In brief campaign of wonderful
dash, daring and brilliancy he
ruined an army of $4,000 Austrians
commanded by the greatest generals
of the age. Five armies, one after
another, all under accomplished
generals and all greatly outnumber-
ing his, were sent against him by
Austria, and Europe was amazed at
the marvellous skill and rapidity
with which he met and overthrow
them.
To the poor old directory the au-
dacious young general paid no at
tention. Its orders were treated
with contempt. "The commission
ers of the directory have no con-
Germ with my policy. / do what I
please" was his reply to those who
criticised his insubordination. AS
to how campaigns should be planned
and battles won he was his own
judge. From the oldest and ablest
generals of the republic he took no
advice and would brook no inter
ference. He held no councils of
war. BY the intuition Of supreme
genius he saw what was needed to
be done, and his advance was as rap
id as his thought ON our days."
he declared, "no one has conceived
anything great; it falls to me to
give the example"
And he gave it. In fifteen days
six almost perfect victories, follow
ing each other with lightning-lke
rapidity, completely staggered the
Austrian rule in Italy. Beginning
his campaign on April 10, by the
2Sth he had the convention of Che
rasco in his pocket. Crossing the
Pc on May z, he won the terrible
bridge of Lodi" on the 18th and
entered Milan on the 18th, with
Lombardy PROSTATE at his feet.
Utterly beaten, Austria sued for
peace, gave up to France the Meth
erlands and Lombardy, and the
Little Corporal went back to
Paris, the ideal of the nation and
the center of the amazement of
continent.--Rev. Thomas B. Greg
DRY in New York American.

Greville does not tell the follow
ing story in his famous memoirs"
but it is fitting return for his own
rather malicious wit: On one occa-
sion, when Lord Alvanley was his
guest, the dining room had been
newly and showily furnished, where
as the dinner was very meager
one. While many of the guests were
complimenting their host on his
taste and magnifcence Lord Alvan-
ley interrupted them with, "For my

Parting Gradually.

George AIDE said Of a modern
tragedian:
"The only trouble about his trag-
edy is that it makes you laugh. His
pathos is side splitting. 1t is like
the pathos of the German poet who
made a lover say to his lost love as
he babe her a final goodby at the
railway station:
Farewell. We part forever.
But, to make the separation more
gradual, ] am going by an accommo-
dation train"

RUNNING DOWN A CLUE.
While investigating expendi-
lures in the state department,
where it cost $206 to shoe four
horses for year, the House in
vestigating committee struck up
on a clue tending to show that
an artist Of the name of Rosen-
thai had been paid $3.50 for a
portrait Of Justice W. r. Day and
that he had been paid $2450.
Rosenthal testified he signed a
blank voucher when he was Civ
en- $3.50. Subsequently the
voucher was made to show he
had acknow lodged the receipt of
$245O.
AS it is the duty of the COM
mittee under the law to investi-
gate the expenditures in the
slate depa, tment, Chairman
Hamlin ordered the department
to produce its books. Instead of
ding so the Secretary Of State
appeared before the committee
with letter from the president
ordering him not to comply with
the committees demands.

/ 1t was stated here that former
Senator Scott had his railroad
ticket and a berth reserved in a
sleeping car. expecting to go to
Charleston on the next train to
assist in the passage of a primary
election law when the word came
that the legislature had adjourn
ed. Once before, at a former
session of the legislature, Senator
Scott was appealed to for aid in
passing a primary election law.
He did not wait that time for the
Legislature to adjourn before
starting but sent his secretary to
Charleston to work against the
passage of the bill.
Former Senator Davis Elkins
was quoted as opposing pri-
mary election law and also as ad-
vfsing the Governor not TO call
the extra session for its consider
alton. Even Governor Glasscock
himself never eXerted any effort
before to have a primary law en-
acted. Altogether it appears
to have been not so much a desire
to pass primary election law as
it was desire to help the Re-
publican party which prompted
the stupendous fizzle of an extra
session.
ssk
Senator Chiffon has accepted
an invitation to address the
graduating class at the West
Virginia Colored Institute on
June 10th, provided his public
duties do not conflict. If the
Senate continues the policy of
adjourning over Saturday he may
be able to go. Otherwise he
will not feel free to get away
from here.

graduating the Democrats of the
House on passing the French-Dice
bill, embodying the Oregon plan
for primary election law.
The Senator added that they
would like to see West Virginia
go farther and pass the entire
Oregon system, affecting cleo
tons as well as primaries. AS
the Democrats of the House and
and Senate voted solidly for this
measure, it is evident that West
Virginia Democrats and their ac-
tons are approved by the most
Progressive" Democrats of the
nation.

BRIDGES UP
I'm the AIR

The bridge question is still up
in the air."
Last week a committee of rail-
road men waited ON Freeland and
he agreed to introduce a resoiu-
ton and ordinance throwing the
thing open for bids on all kinds of
bridges. Yesterday he changed
his mind.
The ordinance had been written
up and was introduced this morn
ing but Freeland had it killed.
He is now standing for the old
proposition to turn the matter
over to Waddell & Harrington to
draw plans.
Mayor Fawcett has in an ordi-
nance, however, to compel them
to draw both bascule and vertical
lift plans. This will come up for
final passage next week.
1t opens the way for two kinds
of bridges but shuts out the Straus
and Sherzer types which are pa
tented.

Rothchilds Can Buy and
Sell Our Own John D.
Death of Noted Family's Head and
Succession to leadership Recalls
Obscure Origin Under the Red
Sign"

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Although
no formal announcements has been
made, it is generally assumed here
in financial circles that Nathan,
Lord Rothschi1d, seventy years old
and head of the London house of
Rothschild, will become head also
of the whole great financial family
lof Rothschild in Europe, because
of the recent death in Vienna of
Baron Albert Solomon Won Roths-
child.
BARON Albert, second son of
Anselem Solomon, had the best
financial mind in this whole fam
| lily. Heads of the other branches
have for generations devoted
themselves to society, to sports, to
politics, to craftsmanship, to phil
Ianthropy. Baron Albert was the
typical financier and when knotty
problems We're to be solved the
other Rothschilds always consult
ed their shrewd Austrian kinsmar.
No one knows the total wealth
of the combined Rethschild wam-
lilies. 1t is generally admitted that
the com bined strength of the FAM
lily could break" John d. Rookie
Teller, though Rockefeller could
buy out any one of the branches.
A second estimate puts the COM
bined Rothschild wealth between
three and four billions.
How did this wonderful family
lay the foundation for its great
fortune?
When in 1906 Napoleon was
about to invade Germany the
Landgrave of Hesse entrusted his
fortune of s5,000,00O for safe
keeping to "Amschel of the Red
Sign.
After Napoleon was dethroned
the Rothschilds offered to pay the
Landgrave the entire sum with s.
per cent interest lie refused to
take any interest, but finally was
persuaded to take Q per cent. This
was the Rothschild start, for theyl
speculated with the money and
made 1t grow rapidly, but the bat
tie of Waterloo was largely rel
sponsible for this greatest of ALI
great fortunes.

Commissioner Nick Lawson got
a scoring this morning in resolu-
tons sent to the council by the
National Association of Steam En-
gineers. He is charged with vio-
lating the ordinance in the mat
ter of engineers for the pumping
station. They say he represented
that he could not appoint an en-
gineer but must get one through
civil service and then he went out
of town and hired one in violation
of the charter.
Nick moved to- place the protest
on file, and it was done.

by G. Il. Gilman.

How they start no one knows
but there area lot of misconeep.
lions abroad regarding the mean.
ing and methods of the boy Scout
movement.
One lad has recently written me
to find out II 1t is true that he will
have to go to war il he enlists as &
scout. Another wants to know II
all boy scouts are required to lenve
their homes and live In Washing
ton, d. c.
Still another, and the latest one,
grayely informs ME that boy
scouts are given transportation to
New York. where they rig them VI
in cowboy clothes and give them a
gun and have them shoot ami
mails"
OF course, the answer to these
questions is easy and 1t is mo"
The really hard question comes
from the boy who writes: Tell me
all about scouting"
This is like asking a man to tell
you all about baseball or all
about arithmetic. 1t cant be done,
| doubt IL anybody does know all
about scouting, because the game
is full of untried possibilities.
Many of the things which the
makers of manuals suggest in the
most offhand way are practically
impossible, though they look good
on paper. Other things which APP
pear mighty simple will be found
full of possibilities for develop
ment as the movement grows.
For the scoutmaster the only
safe rule is to take his boys out
and work on whatever knowledge
of scouting he has, aapting that to
the needs and opportunities OF
the locality in which he is work
ing and to the temper of the boys
The only way to learn scouting
is to scout. National headquarters
at 124 East 2Sth street, New
York, will furnish on application
several valuable pamphlets giving
suggestions on how to organize.
But there Is one misconception
WHICH is hurting the scout move
ment. 1t is that boy scouts are
furnished with firearms and carry
them on their. scouting trips. Fire
arms are strictly forbidden scouts
acting as such. Yet, despite this
fact, there is a dangerous tend
ency on the part of uniformed
persons and newspapers to assume
that every lad accidentally shot by
a companion is the victim of hoy
scouts"
There are in the United States
today 76 school boy rifle clubs,
where boys are taught by compe-
tent instructors to handle firearms
with safety to themselves and
others and to shoot straight. Their
activities must not be confused
with those of the boy scouts. In
formation regarding these school
boy rifle clubs and the official
badges awarded for Workmanship
can be obtained on application

DEFENDS JUDGES

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "a
The action of the supreme court
in granting a rehearing to Abra-
ham Ruef was upheld today by
Attorney G. w. Cross, who an
swered the contentious of After
ney General Webb that the order
should be revoked Cross con-
tended that as several of the pres

were in a better position than
others to judge whether or not
they had transgressed the rules

What is Boy Scouting,
!. Anyhow? Gilman Tells
t'%&

| on. d. C.
There Is no connection what
'yer between the n. X. A. and the
Boy Scouts of America.
Then, too. there are persons who
assume that there must be some
secret and sinister purpose back of
he scout movement. II is hard to
convince such persons that scout
ing is just what 1t processes to be
"a movement for the betterment
of American boys.
Here, in a. nutshell. is the aim
and purpose of scouting-to keep
alive in our American of today all
those virtues-courage steadfast-
pess, self-erliance, neighborliness
and resourcefulness--w which mark
ed the American frontiersman and
lie at the foundation of the high
est type of American manhood to-
day,
