NAPOLEON III. IN AMERICA
Real Louis Was Not as DlIapldated as
He Has Been Pictured by
Mark Twain.

Probably no written portrait of the
bird Napoleon is better known to
Americans than that embodied in the
rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain
In THE Innocents Abroad" where he,
contrasts the emperor of the French
aud the sultan OF Turkey at their
meeting In Paris In 1867. II was
thought very fine and stirring at the
time, but it is picture to provoke
curiosity and amusement today. Mark
Twain described how the future EN-
peror carried his dreams with him
INTO exile. how he associated with the
common herd In America, and ran foot
races for a wagsr, how he walked his
weary beat. a common policeman of
London. That he carried his dreams
into exile, that his belief in his star
never wavered, is unquestionably true
But It is not quite so romantic
figure, not such a dilapidated Louis
Napoleon. that We see in the accounts
Of more careful historians than Mark
Twain. For example, there is Unit
mate Memoirs of Napoleon ILL.," by the
late Baron d'Ambes. DAmbes was not
with Louis Napoleon in America, but
i was from the princes own lips that
he claimed he received the impress
sions of that visit, Louis Napoleon
,ame to Norfolk, Va, from Rio de
Ianeiro on the frigate Andromede.
The commander. Henri de Viileneuve,
vas very kind to the exile. and the
lrince thanked him with the words

Andromede arrived at Norfolk March
q, 1887. The prince proceeded
trafght TO New York and dined at
len. Watson Webb's, where he found
General Scott, his two brothers-in-law,
he Stewards, and a number of sena-
0rs and statesmen.

Cabinet Members in Congress.

1t Is an interesting question raised
by President Taft In his special mes
sage recommending that members Of
the cabinet be given seats in con
gress The issue is in no sense par
tisan, as President-eleet Woodrow
Wilson has vigorously favored the
sameAiflea I'm his books. In most
European nations cabinet members
not only have seats In the legislative
bodies. but vote and are, by virtue
Of their positions, leaders Of the
chamber.
The president does not recommend
that cabinet members be given a
vote but merely that they have seats
aud BIZ free to answer questions and
to speak on legislation affecting
their respective departments. To go
farther would require an amendment
To the constitution. while the step
proposed by the president could be
change In the fundamental law.
What will congress do about it?
Some indication of its attitude may
b. seen in the fact that the house
adjourned for the Christmas recess
without hearing the message at all,
and the senate deferred it's reading
Tor some hours until other, and pre-
snmablE more important. business
was out of the way. Evidently lit
tie is to be expected from this con
gress in line with the presidents
recommendation
The change would be momentous
one and will bear discussion. The
special message will occasion this
discussion which possibly is all that
Mr. Taft expected it to do. If his
Successor takes up the matter.

When the attention of The Bul
letin il called to any mitststemens
It fact or to anv error concerning
any man or thing, corrections viii
sheersully be made
a Victory.

Nine stoves have been installed in
1.-THE county poorfarm building, ac-
cprding to statement made to The
Bulletin by one of the county COM
lnissioners, Heretofore there was
only one heating stove in the struc-
tnre, a story and d half building, BE-
q sides the cooking stove. During the
winter months the inmates suffered
greatly from the cold. as the two
stoves did not begin to furnish heat
for their sleeping quarters.
U The installation of the additional
stoves is another victory for pub
licitg. If II were not for the fact
that certain women residents Of
Cairo had not visited the institution
and called attention to conditions
Sexising thare, the poor inmates
might have shivered throughout the
winter. The Bulletin takes this oc-
casion To express hope that enough
& fuel will be supplied the institution
to keep the stoves in operation day
and night during the cold spell. |
The men In charge Of the farm have
been 50 economical in the past, that
they are apt to be stingy with fuel.
The Bulletin has stated that con-
ditions existing at the poor farm
will be corrected and the installation
OF the stoves is the first step. Tibet
next step will be to furnish proper
food, soap and towels and other
necessities to the inmates. 1t may /
take time to accomplish this, but
The Bulletin will continue to plug
away until these innovations are I'M
stalled.

TOPEKA

Toaeka is situated in the heart o:
Kansas. 1860 miles from Broadway,
but well wiehin the country club
and ornamental light belt. It is the
capital of kansas, which is enough
of job TO keep any two cities busy.
Topeka has only $4,000 people if
you are from the East or almost over
$4,000 if you are from Kansas. 1t is
d gigantic town for its size and has
several mammoth attractions. in

world, the largest railroad shops in
the world, the biggest pipe organ
between Chicago and Salt Lake city
and magazine with nearly a mil
lion circulation
Topeka is 20 years old and was
founded by free sellers who have
continued To be almost phanomenally
free. Ii is situated on the banks Of
the Kaw. which slaices out the lower
wards each spring and is a large rec
tangular town with square blocks
and a main business thoroughfare so
wild that two windstorms can do
business independently on it, side BIZ

Topeka is like most Kansas towns.

MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS
Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate
What the Production of a Great
journal Involves.

The ordinary reader, as he opens his
daily journal. Is content with vague
feeling that it somehow edits and com.
poses itself: he seldom rejects upon
the immense amount of organization,
upon the care in the selection of news,
and even upon the mechanical skill in
adjustment so that every column may
be exactly filled, which are required
for even the most normal issue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which II all has to be done. That a
great paper should appear morning
after morning generally correct in its
news. readable and sound in its liter
airy Satter. accurate in its printing,
that it should be distributed all over
III country and the world at tho right
moment, is none the less q marvel
because it has happened so often that
people have ceased to look upon It
with surprise.

Closing the eyes can readily be ex-
