CHAPTER ~.
Coming To His Own.

Possibly the greatest human quail
ity 10 creativeness. 1t IL an echo
of the most characteristic divine
quality. Napoleon |. was ess sntially
a creator. He breathed into France
the breath Of a life not before there:
he took dis0rganized masses and
made of them invincible armies. He
clipped territories from countries and
made OF them Kingdoms; beyond all,
he made men. A hero Is often crisis
born; Napoleon made the crises and
shaped heroes TO At them. Again and
again he drew out from the mass Of
common clay lump In which his
master glance saw, the leaven OF pos
sibility; he breathed his own conquer
ing, iimitless spirit into II, and in 4.
turn the automatom was great gen.
eral, ready to do his work, bound to

unhreakable, unreasoning, self-suffi-
Gent. mystery OF that astounding
personality.
He made great men and then in his
lordly way he set them in frames
which suited his fastidiOus sense OF
fitness. Out Of old Frances domains
he helped himself to lands and castles
and gave them with free hand to
his marshals and his generals.
Six years ago, before Waterloo, he
had given the new chateau of VicQues
and It's lands to General the Baron
Gaspard GOurgaud. whom he had be-
fore then fashioned into a very good
pattern Of a soldier out Of material
left over from the old aristocracy.
Vicques was a village when "all GauI
was divided into three provinces OF
Rome; a village much the same in
1920. II lay in the Valley Deles-
montes-"of the mountains"--a league
from the little city Delesmontes,
whose six thousand inhabitants cor
stituted II the chief city Of this val
ley Of the Jura. Over VicQues hung
the mountain called lie Rose. behind
lie Rose doomed that greater noun
tain called lie Raimeu: back Of lie
kaimeu rolled the Jura range. The
ancient road Of the days of Julius
Caesar ran through Vicques, runs
now. the main road straight to Rome.
1t Is kept up at present by the gov
eminent and one may see man
working on 1t any day. A little river
cuts across the hamlet-the Cheulte;
over 1t arches. steep. like a crooked
finger, unbelievably steep, the Roman
bridge built In those same times be-
fore France was. and used now every
hour of every day. Solid and age
defying and dignifed, 1t goes about
its business of holding the land to-
gether from one day to another as 1t
has done for two thousand years. as
It may do, to all appearances. for two
thousand more. The old road passes
over the old bridge high into air and
makes an elbow" as the villagers
put 1t. as its foot, swinging down
stream at a right angle; a team OF
horses rafting down the slope gath
ers such an impetus that often they
bump into the barn of Pierre Beau
rame. built solidly at the turn Of the
elbow, before their driver can stop
them. One wonders why the grand
father OF the grandfather Of Pierre
built his barn at this place. but there
ii stands, and the horses must accus-
tom themselves.

CIRCUIT COURT
MEETS IN HUNTSVILLE


Huntsville, November 16.-(Special. }
Judge Daniel w. Speake OF Decatur
will arrive Monday for the purpose of
holding a term of circuit court. The
big feature of this term of court will
be the extra grand jury which will
be impaneled to carry ON certain lines
of investigation. The result of the
pew investigation will be awaited with
great deal of interest especially in
view of the fact that the legality of
the recent law and equity grand jury
has been called into question. The mat
ter is now pending in the supreme
court. The last grand Jury recon-
mended the impeachment of eight
county officials and created a grea.
sensation here. Whether Judge Speake's
grand jury will go over the same
ground covered by the previous or
ganization is a matter that is Causing
much discussion.

CENSUS REPORT
INTERESTS MARKET
Cotton Market Divided In
Opinion Regarding the
Figures

New Orleans, November 16.-rhis
week the cotton market will be chiefly
interested in the census bureau report
on ginning up to November 1S. This
report win be issued Friday morning
at o'clock, New Orleans time, and
will compare with 1O,299,646 bales
ginned up to the corresponding date
last year and 11,s13.236 two years. ago.
AS usual, the trade is much divided
in opinion regarding the figures There
are some who look for no more than
last years total, while many look for
at least 1O.500.O 900 bales. 1t is safe TO
say that anything over the latter fig
ures would cause violent break, while
anything under the former would re-
suit in stiff rise as it would be con-
firmation of small crop ideas.
On the whole, the trade Is willing
to believe in larger figures than were
returned last year, because the wealth
er has been so favorable during the
last ginning period. which comprises
the first half of November. Farmers
have rushed work in the fields and
vast quantity of cotton has been gath
cred Even the bulls are willing to
acknowledge that ginnings Will be
large, although they are not willing
to grant that large ginnngs at this
time mean a large crop
The trade will eagerly watch reports
from the interior this week for fur
ther Information regarding the extent
to which picking and ginning will be
carried. Several important parts Of the
belt, particularly the largest cotton
producing counties of Texas, have late
ly been sending in word that the crop
was 95 per cent picked and ginned and
that many gins We're closing for the
season. Any further reports along this
line are bound to affect the market
favorably, as they would point to a
short crop.
Bears win watch closely for any ef-
feet the tight money situation may
have on the spot market. They will be
quick to give to the world any reports
of spots being pressed for sale, or of
difficulty of the holders of spots may
have in getting or continuing loans.

tie lighter than that of Bismarck and

Drain of an average person.
The post mortem examination was
conducted under the historic Japanese
ceremony. When all preparations had
been completed DIR. Nagayo. cele-
GRATED surgeon, surrounded by, a mum
Der OF physicians, addressed the spirit
OF the departed prince. saying that in
accord with the dead mans own
wishes he was about to dissect GER
tain parts of the body for the benefit
OF science. After the operations the
surgeon again addressed the spirit of
the deceased. reporting the completion
OF the task and expressing gratitude
Tor the benefit which science would de-
rive. Princess Katsura, who had he
