HOW NAPOLEON WAS SPANKED
Mother 1lded Her Time and Then
Gave Future Emperor Sound
whipping.

When in exile at Elba, Napoleon
told a story Of how his mother
spanked him.
One day, it appears, his mothers
mother was hobbling along the street
in Ajaecio, when Napoleon and his
sister, Pauline, followed the old lady
and mimicked her. Their grand
mother turned and caught them in
the act.
She complained to Madame Le-
titia Bonaparte. Pauline was at
once spanked and disposed Of. Ma
poleon, who was out in his regiment
ais, could not be handled, since the
uniform was as sacred as the flag.
But his mother bided her time.
The next day, when her son was
of his guard, she called out: "Na-
poleonl Napoleon! Quick You
are invited to dine with the gov
ernorw
Whereupon the future emperor
ran to his room to change his clothes.
His mother quietly followed, and
when she judged that the proper
time had come rushed into the room,
seized her undressed hero before he
guessed her purpose, laid him across
her knee, and belabored him earnest
" with the fiat of her hand.

CLEANING ORIENTAL RUGS
How Spots Can De Removed and the
Rich coIors Of the Fabric
Brought Out.

After oriental rugs have beef dust
cleaned at home by any OF the new
and excellent electric cleaners, the
housekeeper finds the rugs truly dust
less, but not clean looking. II there
are grease spots or any other spots
on the carpet they remain as before.
The province OF the machine is to
remove every particle OF dust and II
fulflls this mission. but the good.
housekeeper is not content to sd
spots OF any kind remaining on hsf'
rugs.
This can be remedied and the rich
colors brought out by the following
simple method. Leave the rug on the
floor where It belongs Remove every
thing from on top of It. Take naptha
soap and make a lather in luke warm
water. Take an old Turkish towel,
dip II in the suds, wiring out and rub
the rug vigorously, being careful not
to rub against the nap of the rug. You
viii see the dirt of the rug coming OF
on the towel, but not bit of the color.
Dip In again, washing of dirt of the
towel and continue to rub until the
towel remains clean. Whenever the
suds look dark change the water and
prepare fresh suds.
When the entire carpet is rubbed,
take luke warm water, dip in your
towel, wiring out, and go over the en-
tire surface so that no sign of the
suds is left Then leave the rug un-
disturbed until thoroughly dry. 1t is
surprising how the rug lights upl The
natural tints Of oriental material are
brought out and the conscious feeling
that the rug is clean from a sanitary
point Of view is satisfaction.
The fringe of the rug should not be
rubbed, as It is too delicate, but can
be cleaned easily by sitting on foot
stool with basin on the lap and dip
ping into the srds handful, OF fringe
lat time, wringing out tight when
clean. Avoid wetting the rug as far
as possible while cleaning the fringe.
This process finished, spread the
fringe out straight on the floor until
thoroughly dry. The fringe should be
cleaned first

Alderman Lee G. Council yesterday
said to a Times-Recorder representa-
tive
1T is imperative that We have addi-
tional water facilities, and an ex-
tension of sewerage, if We expect oug
city to progress. The health of our
people, and the necessity for greater
fire protection demand this.
Home seekers are constantly call
ing for homes with modern facilities,
which property owners are unable u
supply. Our neighboring cities are
active, and unless We bestir ourselves
We viii lag behind.
LAS for the paving bonds, | voted for
these four years ago, and am now in
favor of having them placed on the
market, which I feel sure will he

greater city. Let's have less talk and

JAMES A. O'GORMAN is
ELECTED N. Y. SENATOR
Democrat Succeeds DGpGW,
Republican

ALBANY, N. Y, April There was
an exodus of legislators from the state
capital today, following the election Df
Justice James A. O'Gorman to the
United States senate last night and
the subsequent adjournment of the leg
islature until April II. Every train
carried senators and representatives
to their homes, jubilant that the eIev-
en-week deadlock on the senatorship
had at last been settled.
In New York Justice O'Gorman was
busy winding up his personal affairs
and will leave for Washington Monday.
The new senator literally steps from
the bencIAto the halls of the national
congress, for he has already resigned
from the state Supreme court and S
ready to assume his Legislative duties
when the extraordinary session Of
congress is convened on Tuesday. The
Empire State will be represented by
its full quota in the upper house Of
congress-one a democrat and the
other a republican.
From Governor Dix down, state Of
ficials today voice their jubIation over
the election of a successor to Chaun-
cey NJ Depew The election is be-
lieVed by many to have been hastened
by the letter from Republican State
Chairman William Barnes, urging a
coalition of republicans and demo-
Gratis to break the deadlock in the leg
islature and elect a conservative dem
ocrat. The force of the argument in
favor of break of the deadlock was
shown by the fact that Justice O'Go~
man received 112 votes, whereas only
81 We're necessary to elect, while 80
republican votes went to Mr.. eDpew.
There were three pairs in the senate,
but none in the assembly.

WOLGAST FINDS
LEGRAVE EASY
Lightweight Champion There
With the Goods

San Francisco, April Lightweight
Champion Ad Wolgast made short
work of Anton LeGrave last night.
The local fighters seconds threw up
the spongs after about two minutes Of
fighting in the fifth round when it was
palpably apparent that LeGrave would
not last She round out.
Wolgast took command of affairs at
the outset.
In the second round the champion
almost brought the bout to a quick
end by sending LeGrave through the
ropes with a terrific right to the jaw,
this flooring his man for the count Of
nine.
In the fourth round LeGrave took
the count four times and at this stage
tie spectators loudly importuned Ref
'erce Jack Welch to stop the fight.
The fifth round found Wolgast beat
ing an almost helpless fighter. Realiz-
ing that the local man could go no
further his seconds intervened and
threw Il towel in the ring.
The men fought at 133 pounds ring
side. Wolgast was an overwhelming
faVorite at odds of 10 to 4 and there
we're Few ready to risk their money on
.4eGrave's chances. There was, how
lever, some betting at even money that
LeGraVe would last fifteen rounds.

UNIVERLAL PEACE
PREDICTED BY HILL
Then Utopia Will at Last Be
Here

New York, April 1-"Internationol
peace will be forced upon mankind by
coalition of states," said Ambassa-
/ dor David Jayne Hill in Columbia Uni
versity recently when leCturing upon
THE State as a Member of Society
There is a reasonable ground 70
believe that such a Utopia will some
day be realized he went on. The
enormous expenditures for keeping
prepared for war will result eventual
Ily in the formation of a society of
states, created for their own protec-
ton. The purpose Of suca a union
will be to reduce the hazard which
caases them to eXpend so much as ia
dividual states for military protection.
This, of course, means that interna-
tional peace will be a reality and more
than a mere dream"
Dr. Hill said history had led him
to that conclusion.
"The state was organized because Of
the wrongs men were forced to endure
as individuals" he continued. "Why
not such a union Of states to prevent
national wrongs caused by wars? The
Roman church is a good example of
such a union in history. 1t created one
Universal community, with a common
symbol-the cross. All men felt the
presence of its authority and accepted
the brotherhood conferred upon them
ali. There might have been separate
rr'n ipalities, but there was a com
mon BOND of unity-the church"
