Roland Bonaparte is, moreover, of all the
Bonapartes who have lived since Waterloo, one

his attention to scientific studies and researches,

in France. As geOgrapher, explorer and ethnol

Institute of France, and has been president of
the Geographical Society while his more than a
score of learned treatises hold honorable places
in scientific literature. In politics he is an ear
nest Republican, though that fact would probably
not restrain him from accepting a royal crown.
In one other respect he is eminently fitted to
be King of Albania That is that he is immensely
rich, and therefore would be quite independent
of the civil list of his somewhat impoverished
kngdom,' for in 1880 he married the daughter of
the late NJ. Blanc, the proprietor of the great
gambling establishment of Monte Carlo. This
was match theoretically below his rank, but it
was Justihabe on three grounds. One was that
the two were sincerely attached to each other;
the second reason was that his rank did not
count for much, as he lieutenant in
the army and was debarred from accession to the
throne of France, if there were any possl-

third was that it was in accord with family prec-

family became extinct in the next generation.
The second son, Louis, was also a scientist, but
died childless. The third son of Lucien was
Pierre, who was for a time great figure at the

~RINCE ROLAND BONAPARTE for the
throne of Albania! That would indeed be
- a picturesque selection, the very mention
Of which suggests some curious reflections upon
the fate of the famous Corsican family and upon
the manner in which the will of the Little Cor
poral has been nullfed by the progress Of events
Numerous the Bonapartes once were, they are
now few; many as were the thrones which they
once occupied they possess not one; and the
only survivors who enjoy any possibility of ever
coming to throne again are members of the
very lines which we're once prescribed by Napo-
leon himself and excluded from the succession.
Time was when Napoleon was Emperor of
France, Joseph was King Of Spain, Louis was
King of Holland, Jerome King of West
phalia, Marianne was Grand Duchess of Tuscany
and Caroline was Queen of Naples And row
Victor and his brother Louis are preteTders -
with no prospects-to the throne Of France, and
Roland is talked of for King of Albania, if the
brigands of that country succeed in driving out
William of WED Meantime various thrones, old
and new, are securely occupied by members of
families with which Napoleon played ducks and
brakes!
1t is to be noted, too, that in 1904 Napoleon
had it decreed that the imperial succession
should be restricted to the issue of himself and
his brothers Joseph and Louis. The others,
Lucien and Jerome, had made marriages which
he did not approve; wherefore they and their
children were forever excluded Later the scala

He repudiated his charming American wife and
married blue-blooded princess of Wdrtemberg
and that is why his descendants are now reeog-
nized the heads Of the family and rightful
claimants to the imperial crown.
Por the other three lines, of Napoleon, Joseph
and Louis to which the succession was restricted
long ago became extinct.

Once in possession of these, he had no difficulty
in enlisting men. In this way he soon filed his
ranks to the number of 400. These enabled him
to capture many small towns; as each town sur
rendered his ranks increased. Larger towns, such
as Fresnilo and Sombrerete, soon gave way to
him. 1t is Characteristic of the Mexican soldier
to board the band wagon-the conquered enlist
with the conquerors. As the men supporting Huerta
are mostly hired and fight with lukewarm spirit
Natera found difficulty in gaining their CO.
operation. He thus increased the number of his
men to 2,OOO and by wise selection of officers
he whipped them into fairly efficient force

They are loyal to the army they happen to be

The rebels are perhaps more charitable TO these

them horses Despite their rough existence, these

Many boys as young twelve fill the ranks.
After a battle in Fresnllo in October, 1913, the
writer's attention was called to a boy in corn
field. Upon nearing the scene he discovered an
other boy lying under cactus bush, unable 70

cursing viciously. With his raised rifle he vas
about to bring the butt down on the head OF the

Natera soldier was wounded in the leg and ne had
no more cartridges. After driving the Federal
away, the writer leaned over the small rebel. His
first words were;

He was very grateful for light. The writer
hurried back to the hotel for help. While there
he heard report of rifles The little rebel SOL

A CONTRAST IN THE TREATMENT OF TIL
CONQUERED.

General Natera, in passing on tour of inspec-
tion, stopped and, waving his hand toward his
enemy, remarked:
"Our friends downtown very angry this
morning"
lie smiled slowly and continued his walk.
The contrast between Natera and Villa IS IN
no way more strongly eXemplifed than in this
attitude toward the enemy. While Villa has the
reputation of being brutal tc those he cOnquers
Natera is known to be almost friendly. When
General Natera captured the town Of Fresnillo
in June, 1918, a lieutenant caught ten Federal
soldiers sharpshooting from a church tower. The
prisoners were given their last rites and collins
we're prepared for them. When Natera heard OF
their plight and learned the story of their bray
err, he set them free, saying:
"SOn hombres muy valientos!" (They are very
valiant mem.
Unlike the average rebel leader who captures
a town, NateIa imposes a reasonable tax the
people instead of the exorbitant sums usually
demanded. Then, too, he prohibits footing, closes
down the saloons and severely Furnishes any men
caught outraging women.
The writer attended "blood tribute" meeting
in Fresnilo after that city was captured by Ma
terra, May 5, 1918. Panflo Natera in person mott
fed us Of the conference. AS six of horses
had been stolen by his men, he expressed regret

order we were charmed to note the dignied
politeness that prevailed. Due to the sudden
retreat of the Federals, the room was Uttered
with state papers piled in heaps. Despite this
outward disorder and the fact that little time
was allowed in preparation for the meeting,
peculiar stateliness was evident.

plain wood chair, was Panflo Natera. Though

steadily rose until we find him, at the time when

Natera is eminenty fitted for this post. he

in the north-central part of Zacatecas State.
Like Pancho Villa, his early training was in the
saddle Natera's early environment, however
was far from conducive to greatness. 1t Is
strange to note the influence brought to bear
upon his childhood as contrasted with the man Of

parents in a one-room adobe hut. He was asso-

streets in which they live cleaned by hogs

mother. II was the influence of this atmosphere
which was brought to bear upon his youth
It is evident that Natera is a self-made man.
SINCERITY OF PURPOSE UNDOUBTED BY
HIS ENEMIES.
Far from rejecting his early life, Panflo Ma
terra stands to-day not only head and shoulders
above his own people, but is one of the most
prominent citizens of Mexico. Through his own
initiative he has become power in the nation.
A true progressive, he is beloved by his own
people and respected by the Federals. His sin

THE TULIPS OF HARLEM.

The consular report mentions the
anxiety of the Dutch bulb growers
about the effect of the war on their
world-famous industry. HARLEM is
a specialized horticultural nursery
for all Europe and the United States.
The tulip, of course, is the typical
bulb, the symbol of this amazing
Dutch industry and a standard or
value-as wheat is the agricultural
barometer and pig iron the indus
trial indicator.
The Dutch growers produce 1900
varieties of tulips. They sell mil
lion dollars worth of bulbs to the
United States every year. The ma
tons at war may not be in a mood
just now for the gentle science of
tulip cultivation, but better day is
coming. HARLEM will be doing a
flourishing business in bulbs, as for
centuries agone, when Essen's great
armament factories are turning out
implements of peaceful industry un-
der the Krupp brand.

None Of the Fruits More Potent In the
Effects Upon the Human
system.

Since the dawn of creation the
grape has played a part in the his
tory of mankind. We find mention
of unfermented grape juice in the
earliest recorded history. In Greece
and Persia grapes we're made into
a strip in order that they might be
preserved as long out of season as
possible.
The grape contains many health
giving elements. Both the water
and sugar of the grape require no
digestion, so can readily be taken
into the blood. The mineral ele-
ments in the fruit clear, strengthen
and cleanse the liver, kidneys and in
testines. Some one has aptly said
that if the grape were a medicine
more could not be claimed for it.
Grape sugar is one of the most
important elements contained in the
fruit Albumlnous matter, lime,
iron, genuine cream of tartar, which
is the natural salt of the grape, and
vinous acid, which is similar to the
malic acid of the apple, are also
found. Indeed, there is no safer
tonic in health or general ill health
than the grape.
The grape is at its best when
nipped by the frost. Those who
have had the pleasure of breakfast
ing on cold grapes pulled from the
vine on a frosty morning will, in
deed, vote them a rare treat.
There is no more welcome addi-
ton to the preserve closet than grape

CROP WASTE is ENORMOUS
Diligent Cleaning Would Yield an
Abundance of Good Food for
the Hungry.

Ever since Ruth CLEANED in the
fields of Boaz there has been lesson
tc all mankind that there is enough
waste in the world to give all an hon.
EST living, if it were only diligently
CLEANED.
The other day, riding through the
country, we noticed many bushels of
dropped apples that were left to rot.
Why, we thought, could not those
apples be gathered and given to the
poor? No reason, except there was
no effort made to do it. We raise
millions to send Bibles to the hea-
then; why not a few hundred to send
those apples to the people who really
need them. 1t would give lots of
happiness and improve greatly the
Christianity of those who do the
cleaning and the distributing.
There are many fruits and vege-
tables In our orchards and gardens
that are hardly marketable and yet
would be good food to many people.
Why might not the idle people be
organized to gather up this food and
scatter it among the poor? If an
organization was formed to receive
and distribute these gleanings there
would, no doubt, be plenty brought
IN. There liz plenty of good will, if
it were only set in the grooves and
