NAPOLEON al.D SUICIDE.

His Draft of Poison and His Com
ments on Self Destruction.
1t is said that when all seemed lost
to Napoleon in tS14-the year before
Waterloo-he thought of suicide as an
end to his career. He actually took
a draft of poison, but the essential
element in the connection had lost its
efficacy. He. however, conquered his
inclination to self destruction. which
he ever afterward held in abhorrence
even during his hopeless exile at ST
Helena. When during his first con-
sulship one of his srenadiers killed
himself Napoleon issued an order to
the guards:
1.-THE Grenadier Gobain has killed
himself owing to a love affair He
was otherwise an excellent soldier.
The first consul commands that the
guards should be informed that a sol
der ought to conquer the grief and
bitterness of his passions; that there
Is the same courage in enduring with
patience the panss of the soul as in
facing bravely the fire of Il battery. To
give oneself up to grief without resist
ance or to kill oneself to escape is to
abandon the field Of battle before being
beaten"
In conversation with Goethe, Ma
poleon blamed the poet for allowing
Werther to commit suicide, and in 1916
he said to O'Meara:
Suicide is the act of Il gambler who
has lost everything or of il ruined
profiigate. have always thought that
a man shows more courage in support
ing the evils that afflict him than in
getting rid of his life.''

1t is with sincere regret that we are
compelled to again record the death
of one of Post C's staunch friends in
the person of Mrs. William Kramer.
With always a pleasant word for T..
y. AS, an active leader In social func-
tons, almost always present at state
conventions. and always having Post
C.'s welfare at heart, we feel that in
her death we have lost one Of our best
friends. The sympathy of the entire
membership Is extended to William
Kramer in his hour of sadness.
We are promised by the National
Secretary an issue OF the T. p. A.
Magazine soon. This will surely be
welcomed by Post c. members.
For the past year new members COM
ing In paid their dues every six

new members making short term
payment at the end OF six months, SO
their dues will be payable July LIST and
January LIST. The method of having
dues payable at various times being
too confusing.

Of death by accident Of member

protect the welfare of its members, to
pay as much indemnity as is consist
ent with good business.

1t is rumored, though We don't know

add materially to the appearance of

THRIFT.

James Derringer was guide IN
Wyoming. He led a happy peaceful
| life lasso:ng mountain lions for NOV
ing picture men and escorting fat
bankers on wild trips which took the
party yards from civilization.
Ideal as such an existence must ap-
pear. Derringer was not satisfied.
There was something lacking. He
longed to acquire fame, but could
not think Of how his ambition might
be realized until one day he happen
ed to come across an article on the
fossils of wyoming. He read Of the
justlycelebrated three-toed horse
which used to gambOl over the vast
plains He read of the diplodocus
and all the other funny cusses that
once roamed carelessly across his
part of the map. Some of the great
lizards were about the size of an
Oakland suburban train and just
about as healthy to meet head on.
Conscious of the great interest sci
entists displayed in the remains OF
these curious creatures, Deringer in
his simple way reasoned that they

REVIVES OLD ROMANCE.
= %~%%~% ~%~~~~>e~ ~~~

An example of history repeating
itself in a most romantic way has
come to light through the sailing on
the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria of De
Guise Hite, a prominent Cleveland
artist, who is going to Europe to wed
a lady of nobility, just as his grand
father did before him more than a
century ago
Francis Isaac Hite, cavalier of
the Old Dominion descended from one
of the proudest of Virginia families,
wooed the lovely and noble Gather
inc De Guise, and despite the en-
'treaties and commands of titled faith
er and mother and brothers, won her
hand and heart. Today the great
grandson of this pair, who bears the
name of the royal lady and the Vir-
ginia cavalier, sailed away across the
seas to marry Marguerite, Duchess
de Shasso, who will renounce her IT,
tie and no small share of her an
cestral estate to become Mrs. Hite,
the wife of an American artist. The
duchesse and the painter met in
France two years ago, when the
beautiful noblewoman sat for her
portrait in Mr.. Hite's studio. The
work was far from completed when
the painter lost his heart to the lady.
and the sittings in the studio were
succeeded by tete-a-tetes of an eff

ON THE HOMESTRETCH.

From appearances the legislature
will have passed the good roads bills
by the time this paper goes to press
today. There is question though as
to the shape in which the measures
will emerge from the house. They
may come forth so amended as to be
of little use.
Already the amount of money to
be given by the state in road con-
struction has been cut in half. In
stead Of an appropriation of $3.50, 900
the sum of $4,000 will be given.
This will cause reduction in the am
cunt to be given by the various
counties. Instead of having $50, 900
spent in the construction of perma-
nent roads in Umatilla county dur
ing the next two years there will be
only 10000 expended.
1t is also possible that the provis-
ions Of the bonding act may be such
az TO make 1t next to impossible for
a county to do any road work. Some
people who have good Intentions but
bad judgment want the bill to be so
worded that when a bond issue is to
be floated for the construction of a
road it shall be specified just what
road is to be improved.
There are two objections to such a
provision as this. One is that there
is danger as to whether bonds may
be sold under such restrictions. The
other is that the specifying of a par
ticular road will probably result in
every bond issue being voted down.
Few men will want TO vote to build a
good road If they know in advance
that the road in question will not be
oe direct benefit to them.
What is needed in Oregon is re-
suits. In other words some good
roads. We have had years of wrang-
ling over the methods to be followed
but nothing in the way Of plish-
nent. 1t is time to lay aside further
talk and get to work. 1t is also time
to do away with so much distrust OF
officials. II we are to have good
roads some one must be intrusted with
the task of handling the Job. Why
not allow the members of the county
court to select the roads to be i'm
proved?
Here's hoping that when the good
roads legislation is concluded the
measures will be in such shape that
the expectations OF the good roadi
enthusiasts will be realized in part al
least
