NAPOLEON ON WAY TO ELBA
Sad Journey for Man Who Had Al
most Become tho Master Of the
Civilized World.

A fresh letter arrived recently de-
scribing Bonaparte's conduct during
his journey from Fontainebleau to
Elba, says the London Globe of May
10, 1914. Subjoined is an extract:
In the early part of his journey
Bonaparte took his meals alone, but
when the unpleasant rumors from the
south and the tumult In most Of the
towns through which he passed had
thoroughly convinced him that the
people were ready to proceed to the
most cruel extremities he saw that
his only chance Of escaping was to
assume the uniform of an Austrian Of
ficer."
He then determined to also renounce
the part of emperor and to take his
repasts with the commissioners who
escorted him, and to whom he owed
the preservation Of his life.
The decision, however, was preced-
ed by a food Of tears. The first day
that he sat down with the commits
sioners It was observed that he ate
nothing and that he secretly threw
aside the victuals which he raised to
his mouth. He vas afraid Of being
poisoned!
The following day he requested per
mission for his own cook to dress his
dinner, which was granted; and the
same man who the day before pre-
tended to be Ill fell foul of the dishes
with an eagerness bordering on vo-
racity.
Throughout the whole journey he
BETRAYED the strongest apprehension
and preserved a solemn silence. But
as he approached the coast and per
ceiyed the Mediterranean feet and
sails Of the vessels lying IL the road
his heart expanded and he began
to talk with extreme volubility, but
as usual, very i~ncoherently.
It is said that In his conversation
with Marshal Augereau he severa
times observed: Tits all over with
me In Europe, but Asia wants 6
man"

his GRAVE KEPT FRAGRANT
Samoan islanders for Twenty Years
Have Held Robert Louis Steven
son In Loving Memory.

How many of the lovers Of Robert
Louis Stevenson-the modern who
was an ancient, the ancient who was
modern. the contemporary who be-
cane a classic because he translated
new things into thoughts for all time
|-hoN many of those millions who
have fallen under his spell know that
It has been 20 years since he died?
How many know that 10 years ago
the bronze tablet was erected over
his tomb in a far-away South Sea isle
for endless generations to read and
wonder at?
1t a 20 years ago next December
that Stevenson died at Valima, near
Apia, on the island of Upolu, in the
Samoan group, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Since then he has slept
In a distant grave, but not In a neg
lected one. For the natives of that
island keep his tomb on the lonely
mountainside fragrant with flowers.
"The Tomb of Tusitula," they call 1t
that was the great Scots Samoan
name.
Stevenson went to live In Samoa In
1857. He was a comparatively young
mar, but he had seen the vanities
Of the world, and, ~captivated by the
climate, the scenery, and the kindly
character of the natives, he at once
determined to live out whatever space
Of life might remain to him IN thai
fortunate island. And there he die
live for seven years. Long ere he
died he wrote his own epitaph, anc
that epitaph is engraved on the brast
tablet that was put there 10 years
ago.
1t is carved on lasting bronze, but
like Horace. he raised himself a mon
ument even more enduring thar

grave fragrant will all die, some day
and their descendants will be benevo
lently assimilated. But all the chi

Railroads Settle.

Announcement was made that the
attorney-general's office, the Railroad
Commission and the Illinois Central
and Zazoo & Mississippi Valley Rail
roads have reached a settlement OF the
litigation between the state and the
railroads growing oLt Of Tive ad
yalorem and privilege taxes against
these systems, which has been pend
ing in the courts for some time, and
in which the federal court rendered a
decision from the May term of the
court, from which decision appeals
have been prosecuted by both the
state and the railroad companies. The
federal court decided the privilege
taxes were void and sustained the
states contentious as to the ad yalor-
EN- tax.
Under the settlement reached the
railroad companies are to pay privt-
lege taxes for both the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley and Illinois Central
and to pay in full the assessment on
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley on the
basis fixed by the commission in 1913.
They also agree to pay half of the
increase made over the 1912 assess
ment on the illinois, Central.
The litigation arose in 1913 when
the Railroad Commission made these
assessments against these roads. An
injunction was filed in the federal
court against the sending out and col
lecting Of these taxes. The state was
represented in the litigation by Ross
A. Collins, attorney-general, and by
George II, Ethridge, assistant attor-
ney-general.
At the time the litigation arose GOV,
Brewer offered to employ. special o
sci to assist the attorney-general in
handling this litigation, but the attor
~ney-general declined to accept assls
lance In the matter, deeming it q mat
ter that should be exclusively handled
l by the office.
The hearing was first held before
three judges at Birmingham, whC
