this be made various plans Tor
going to America.
On June 10Th, a week after his
return to Paris, Napoleon left
MaImaison for Rochefort, hoping
to reach d vessel which would car
ry him to the United States. But
the coast was so guarded BY the
English that there was no escape.
When it became evident that it was
impossible to escape, he decided to
surrender to the English.
On the 18th of July he enbark-
ed in the English ship Bellerphon
and week later was in Plymouth.
The British government had chos-
en- the Island of st. Helena as his
future residence and he was trans
ferred from the sBellerphon0 to
the Northumberland and was en-
route for st. Helena, where he ar
rived Oct. 1915. He only lived
there six years and on May 9Th
1921, he died. He was buried in
a valley beside spring he loved
and though only a willow marked
the spot, perhaps no other grave
in history is so well known.
He wants not this; but France
shall feel the want
OF the last consolation, thought sc
Her honor, fame and faith demand
his bones,
To rear above pyramid of thrones
Or carried onward IN the battle'
vail,
To form like Guesclin's dust, he

But be it as it. is, the time ma,
come,
His name shall beat the alarm lik'

notable event in the history of the

voting their best efforts to further
the good work in which they were
engaged.
At the second anniversary Of the
Pierian Circle, SO well had it become
known throughout the State, that
the program prepared was listened
to by large and appreciative audi
ence from Saltwater and neighbor-
ing towns and cities, including Min
neapolis and St. Paul. On this and
similar occasions, so notable were
the efforts of the individual mem
bers that many men and women high
in the educational world compli-
mented the Circle on the good work
it was accomplishing.
Thus might we continue through
the twenty-one years of the Circles
existence, the records of which tell
the story of successful growth and
worthy achievements of which any
organization might be proud. But
though the records may serve today
as an inspiration to those whose in
terests are at present affiliated with
the Pierian Circle; though they NAV
even serve to foster in the hearts Of
he better element of society a,
deeper interest in the fallen man and
confidence and faith in his desire
and ability to rise from the sordid
surroundings in which misfortune or
folly has placed him, they still fall
short of telling the entire story of
Pierian success. No record is pos
sible of the many unfortunates who
have paused, worsted for the while
in the battle Of life, only to return
to the struggle strengthened by that.

quest of knowledge. and finally re-

unfailing cure for chronic ulcers;
just as long as the circulation is al
lowed to remain in an impure condiE
ton the place will be kept open FROM
the constant discharge of Impurities
into it from the blood, But pure
blood will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourished
