fied~that he was a wild, unruly boy
whose inseparable companion was no
other than his foster brother, his
brother of the milk Ignazio Ilari. the
son OF a sailor and a nurse. Long years
afterward. when he sat down on an
other island TO gaze arcoss the gulf of a
lifetime and this island of Corsica SWAN
into view, he said of his childhood:
Il was self-willed and obstinate; moth
ing awed me; nothing disconnected me,
was quarrelsome, exasperating; I
feared no one. 1 gave blow here and
scratch there. Every one was afraid
Of me. My brother, Joseph. was the one
with whom 1 had the most to do; he
was beaten, bitten. scolded. had put
the blame on him almost before he knew
what he was about, was telling tales
about him almost before he could collect
his wits. I had to be quick My mama,
Letizia, would have restrained my war
like temper; she would not have put up
with my defiant petuIance. Her tender
ness was severe, melting out punishment
and reward with equal justice; merit and
demerit, she took both into account"
The Rod Not Spared.
The rod was not spared by the stern
and exacting mother. cuf or two on
the ear were sometimes required to get
the boy starteu to church even on Sun
day: When he persisted one day in fol-
lowing his, mother against her orders,
she turned and calmly gave him such
vigorous slap that he rolled down hill,
where she left him to pick himself up
while she went on her way without look
ing back. Even when the time came for
him to fiatter himself that he was too
big to be whipped" he learned his mis-
take. Because his old grandmother
walked with a cane he called her witch
in spite of all her pampering of him. The
mother simply waited until he was
changing his clothes for dinner, in ex-
pectation Of guests, and catching him out
Of his armor. gave him one more and his
last parental chastisement.
After one of my tours of the birthplace
rare keepsake was shown to me, the
book of ritual which the priest, who was
a Corsican, by the way, employed when
he prepared Napoleon for death at st.
Helena, and then 1 was taken to see the
little garden, and finally into the Gus
todian's house. There he keeps his rich
est treasure. which he brought down
stairs from its hiding place. 1t is a laurel
wreath or crown Of gold. costing 1900.

centenary of the Consulate when it was

Journey Of the imagination back to that
August 10 in the year 1769.
The Day Napoleon Was Born.
1t was the Feast of the Assumption,
ever the greatest day in the religious
calendar for the Corsicans. The little
town had given itself over to the holi-
day and the country people had been
swarming in afoot and on mule back
since early morning. The bells were ring
ing, the houses were green with boughs,
and the cathedral altar was abloom with
wild flowers from the mountain side.
In the middle of the forenoon the beau
tiful young Signora Bonaparte-a girl of
nineteen-leading by the hand her six
year-old half-brother, Joseph Fesch, and
followed by her husbands uncle, Luciano,
and her husbands sister-in-law. Geltruda
Paravacini, came out Of that front door
over which the tablet now rests and
made her way down this street two
blocks to the cathedral There, among
the kneeling worshipers at the mass, she
received the painful warnings Of ma
ternity. Calling for the aid of her COM
Danion, she was assisted to her feet and
led out of the crowded church and along
this street again to her home. There she
sank upon a sofa and. at II o'clock in
the morning, Napoleon entered the world.
No. physician had been summoned. No
midwife was in attendance, and that Of
flee was fulfilled by Signora Paravicini
aided by the maid Of all work, Mammu-
cia Caterina-you note that history has
treasured all this time every name con-
nected with the opening scene in the
great drama.
There was, moreover, a stirring pro-
logue to this drama some fifty miles
away in the wild heart Of this then half
barbarous island. Thither the imagina-
ton made another journey before /
