An Old Cobbier Who Won a Laugh and
Favors From NAPOLEON.

Favors From Napoleon.
On Napoleon's arrival at Marsha
Tours the mayor, a farmer, tried in
vain to make the speech he had pre-
pared. Bowling and %scraping, he stood
fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizing.

gaze of the rattlesnake.
Close behind the trembling MAYOR
stood an old shoemaker. in figure a
true Don QuiNote, clad in his working
dress. why don't you speak. you
fool?' he muttered from time to time
to his leader. At last his patience
gave way. He pushed the mayor aside,
advanced. with his left hand removed
his greasy cotton nightcap, with his
right lifted the horn spectacles from
his nose, made his bow and delivered
the Grafton: Emperor, you are on your
way to thrash the Prussian rogues
once more. l hope soon to see you re-
turn crowned with glory. and I have
nothing more to say. but that Caesar
and Alexander were botches in COM
parison with you"
The emperor laughed and inquired of
the old man whether he had any sons.

these in the guards Their names
We're taken down, and the honest shoe
maker soon saw them raised to the
rank of officers and found himself pro-

Most unusual case, in my estima-

girl keeps on declaring her innocence.
That, of course, is common enough in
a way. But here it's different. The
point is somehow she makes her pro-
testations more convincing than they
usually do. They ring true. as it seems
to me-"
"The stolen goods were found in her
locker" Glider declared in a tone Of
finality. "Some Of them. l have been
given to understand. were actually in
the pocket of her coat"
WELL" the attorney said, with a
smile, that sort of thing makes good
enough circumstantial evidence. and
without circumstantial evidence there
would be few convictions for crime.
Yet as q lawyer I'm free to admit that
circumstantial evidence alone is never
quite safe as proof of guilt. Natural
ly she says some one else must have
put the stolen goods there. That is
quite within the measure of possibili-
ty. That sort of thing has been done
countless times"
"And for what reason? It's too alb
surd to think about"
"In similar cases." the lawyer an
swered. "those actually guilty of the
thefts have thus sought to throw sus-
picion on the innocent in order to
avoid it on themselves when the pur-
suit got too hot on their trail. Some.

Edward Glider was a big man phys

abundant vital energy which is a prime
requisite for achievement in the order
ing Of modern business concerns.
Force was indeed the dominant quail
ity of the man. His tall figure was
proportionately broad. and he was
heavily f1eshed. In fact the body was
too ponderous. Perhaps. in that char
acter;stic might be found a clew to
the. chief fault in his nature. For he
was ponderous. spiritually and men
tally, as well as materially. The fact
was displayed suggestively in the face,

made the following statement:

matter of declining to call a special
session of the Legislature to enact an
anti-alien land law, or to submit G
constitution amendment, having in
view the exclusion of Japanese from
owning land in Florida.
Mr. Clark at first asked me to
convene the legislature for the pur
pose of passing a law. In reply to
him | advised that section IS of the

DOCTOR INTERVIEWS
BY Ezra HaWIey.

John Moor was writing a new novel

spot, not far from the metropolis and
yet in the very heart of the country.
It was an old house, with the old
fashioned garden in which blOOmed
fashioned flowers: stocks, holly
hooks and canterbury bells, while
there was a promise Of magnificent
