The Downfall of Napoleon.

the Rhine once more he was con-
fronted, not by a lone army, but by
nations in arms against him!
He was defeated at Leipzig and
forced to retreat into France before
the victorious allied troops. His eff
forts to roll back the tide of invasion
were in vain and the retreat Of the
French army became route. Even
Napcleon's most trusted generals
deserted him and he was ultimately
forced to abdicate his throne.
All of his preat conquests were
lost and he left France smaller than
he found it.
History styles him Napoleon the
Great" but the millions who suffer
ed at his hands called him Napo-
leon the Tyrant!"

What is good enough for one should

men give as their reason for employ
| ing non-drinking men: That they
want help they can depend on" So
does every other employer, and no
man who uses liquor can be depend
ed upon.
The consumers of liquor have only
to look around them and see how
many homes it has destroyed; how
many men it has put in prison; how
many men it has made tramps of;
how many rich men it has made poor
and the poor it will cause to so remain,
to see the reason why they should
cease to be consumers.
To see what they will bring upon
themselves and their loved ones if
they still persist in drinking, should
cause any fair minded man or woman
to put their willpower to work and
cease being a consumer.

addicted to drink commits a crime
and is sent to prison he ceases to be 9
drunkard. He ceases for the simple
reason that he cannot get drink. He
ceases to be drlnkard because he is
compelled to. After a few months
the craving for liquor entirely disap-
pears and he cares nothing whatso-
ever about it. He has other things
more valuable to think of.
+ If man is able to overcome the
liquor craving in prison, why is he
not able to do so OH the outside? OF
course he is subject to temptations,
but man with the least spark of will
power can overcome these tempta-
tons. 1t makes no difference what
you are, if you set your mind to it, it
is easy enough to be different if you
SO desire. Put your will power to
work. Of course some people have
used their will power so seldom that
they are not aware of the fact that
they have such thing.
Intoxicating liquors of any kind
are not a necessity. There is no excuse
for consuming something that is not
a necessity unless you do so for plea
sure, and about the only pleasure a
man ever gets out of liquor is head
ache. 1t generally makes one act like
a fool, feel like a fool, look like fool
and do numerous things neverthought
of when sober.
You often hear man say: Sure,
/ take drink when / feel like it,
(and they generally feel like it pretty
often) but I can leave it alone, and
never take too much, so you see it
will never get the best of me-"
The person who talks like that is
talking foolishness. Many good man
has gone to the bad Specializing on
how much is enough.
In town in Iowa, out of about
twenty saloon keepers, ten of them
absolutely refuse to employ either a
bartender or porter who used liquor

It's your Pal.

A Friend to scrap with daily;

that way, though some there are

for personal taste. If you like
bath with your funerals far be it
from me to retard the qualification
of desires.
Now, about the icicles, take
large tin pail put on pair of flesh
colored tights, and then wake up
your wife. You always want to
wake up your wife before going out
to gather the mornings crop of
icicles. This is not only necessary
to the success of the operation, but
it is also kind to the wife. 1t gives
her nice opportunity to tell you
all the different kinds of fool you
are, as well as some of the reasons
why she married you and more why
she wishes she hadn't. It's funny
how many reasons your wife can
find for wishing she hadn't married
you. Why, one of mine named fifty

Therefor, always wake up your wife
