NAPOLEON AND SUICIDE.



HE Draft Of Poison and His Com.
nssntss IN Ssif osStssstssm
It m said that when all secured lost
to Napoleon In, lS14-the year before
WateriOo-he thought sof suicide AZ an
end to his career. He actually took
y draft Of poison. but the essential
clement In the connection had lost Its
efficacy He. however. coiquered his
inclination to self destruction. which
he ever afterward held 10 abhOrrence.
even during bis hopeless exile at St.
Helena. When during his nrst cou.
sulship one Of his grenadiers killed
himself Napoleon issued an order to
the guards:
"rhe Grenadier Gobuin 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 sol.
der ought to conquer the grief and
bitterness Of his PASSIONS: that there
IL the same courage III enduring with
patience the pangs Of the soul, as In
facing brave!y the Hre Of n battery. To
give oneself up to grief without resist
ance or to kill oneself 10 escape Is to
abandon the Held Of battle before being
benten."
In conversation with Goethe. Ma.
poleon blamed the poet tor allowing
Verther to commit suicide, and In 1915
he said to OMcara:
Suicide IL the act Of a gambler who
has lost everything or Of ruined
profligate. Ihnve always thought that
a man shows more courage in support
ing the evils that affiict him than In
getting rid OF his life"

Mexico will be permanently peaceable and prosperous under the new government
