HOW NAPOLEON WAS SPANKED
Mother Bieed Her Time and Then
Gave Future Emperor Sound
Whipping.

When in exile at Elba, Napoleon
told story of how his mother
spanked him.
One day, it appears, his mothers
mother was hobbling along the street
in Ajaccio, 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 L.
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
off his guard, she called out: "Na-
poleon! Napoleon! Quick! You
are invited to dine with the gov
crnorw
Whcrcupon 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 undrcsscd hero before he
guessed her purpose, laid him across
her knee, and belaborcd him earnest
" with the flat Of her hand.

1t seems probable that an extra town
meeting will be called soon to make turth-

was also voted that no order should be
paid in excess of the appropriation for any
purpose. This week M. A. Thomas, over

Overseer Calvin of Brattleboro, that the

himself, wife and five children, are, all

getting at It except by calling another

upon as yet.

The Lake prpvidsnes Barbecue.

Quite a number of Tensas people
were the guests Of the hospitable
and enterprising people of Lake
Providence last Wednesday at the
political barbecue given in that pref
ty little city.
Leaving on special train at an
early hour, Lake Providence was
reached about 10 a. m. At the sta
ton the visitors were greeted by
many prominent citizens of Lake
Providence and escorted in auto
mobiles and other conveyances to
the business part Of the town and
later to the barbecue grounds across
the lake. Reaching the beautiful old
Southern home of the late Gen.
Sparrow, overlooking the blue wa
tiers OF the lake, everybody was inn
pressed with the beauty Of the place.
There, from a platform erected I'M
der the spreading boughs of grand
oaks, the speakers of the day enter
tanned an audience Of about 1000
people for several hours. The special
train returning left Lake Providence
at $50 p. M, filled with a crowd
each Of whom congratulated himself
on having gone. and on all sides
were heard expressions of appreci-
alton of the cordial welcome extend
ed them and Of the pleasures Of the
day. not the least among which was
a bountiful and delicious barbecue
dinner.
The following speakers addressed
the meeting: Gov. ]. Y. Sanders
and Congressman Jos. E. Ransdell.
candidates for the United States Sem
ate; Hons. T. G. Barrett and j.
Rush Wimberly, candidates for It,
Governor; Mr.. Drummer. candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture;
Mr.. Braswell, candidate for Treas
urer, and Mr.. villeret. candidate
for Secretary of State.
For want Of space it is impossible
for the Gazette to give even synop-
sis Of the speeches, but it suffices to
say that each gentleman presented
his claims in a temperate and elo-
quent way; that there was no mud
singing and that each made friends
and votes for himself in the audi
ence.
The speeches Of Gev. Sanders and
Mr.. Ransden were OF course the
features Of the occasion and the
rounds Of applause which greeted
these gentlemen testified to theil
deserved popularity.
