The Bonapartes changed their names
with their changing lot in life, dropping
their Corsican nomenclature for more
French-sounding prenomen. The mother,
Letizia- was Latinized into Letitia, Guis-
seppi became Joseph; Luciano became
Lucian. although for a while he adopted
the name OF Brutus: Luigi was made

In her devoutness Letitia had chris

foreign in France. Fame overlook IL,
however. and glorified it before he could
change it. But he dropped the ''u" from
Buonaparte when he took command Of
the army in Italy. and Gallicized the
pronunciation by silencing the final ''e.''
Mother Letitia never had looked upon
her daughter-in-law until they met at
Montebello, and. like a soldier advancing

Of truce, she approached the willy and

The Waning Honeymoon.
Napoleon met his family's assaults
upon his wife without flinching. II was
true that the months had changed his
ardent love into gentle kindness. The
conqueror of the fortress Of Mantua had
already raised the siege Of Josephine's
impregnable heart. capitulated and sub
sided into a quiet and as. yet faithful
husband. The honeymoon had waned and
been succeeded by the calm. cool star
fight of friendship.
He had made the discovery that, even
as great Caesars wife had her Clodius
and was not above suspicion. his wife
had her Hippolite Charles. a Partisan
coxcomb of Leclere's stan, whose favor
with Josephine was the scandal Of Milan.

villa, which time has changed beyond
recognition. 1t was then a great country
palace. sitting far back from the high
road in a large park. with cool, shady
avenues, pretty fountains, ingenious
grottoes. and all the exquisite loveliness
Of an Italian retreat. Two flights of
steps led up to the broad, high terrace
that ran along the front and sides Of the
villa, from which the Alps could be seen
on the one hand and the lace-like turrets
Of the Milan Cathedral on the other.
In that sylvan refuge the young ar
bitter of nations gathered the families
Of his military and civil officers about
him. and thither the ENJOYS Of sup

with Corsican loyalty to the ties Of

IN REHALF OF THE FIREMEN

To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Having read in the papers last week OF
Councils intention of helping the unemployed
OF this city through the help of the various
charitable institutions, l would suggest that
charity begins at home, and that Councils
should themselves open their hearts and pro-
vide money for 800 extra flrcmen for the Phlla-
delpha Fire Department II there a
time to help the firemen in the present obsolete,
slavIsh working houses. now is the time, and
past political differences should be buried and
each fellow pull together for reasonable set Of
working conditions for us men.
While others walking the streets looking
for work, fellows walking and moplng
around waiting for that sixth day to slip
around, that we may have the pleasure OF
day with families.
Now. what 1 want to emphasize Is, why not
put these 300 men the Department, and by
so doing not only brighten their homes through
their employment, but II will have n tendency
to brighten up the whole Department because
each and every man could be home IL hours
a day.
The efficiency OF the Department would be In
creased, men would have cleaner and more
moral conception of life. and their minds would
be lifted from depression TO vigorous energy
through their contact with the social and
ligious atmosphere of their fellow creatures, all
of which is denied to them at the present time.
I hope the EVENING LEDGER will do Its part
In trying to create sentiment among Its read
ers for favorable and just working conditions
for the Philadelphia fremen.

THE DAISY

The daisy like a Quaker sits
Among the grasses,
The while the vagrant sunshine hits.
The shadow passes;
she does not hirt upon the wind,
Like blossoms Of a lighter mind.
BIusbeIls and buttercups, they try
The cowslips, too
To smile at every passsr-by
As psnsiss do;
The daisy soorns those airs and graces,
she does not care for such grimaces.
Her simple gown Is starched and white,
And frillsd precisely;
she keeps 1t clean by day and night,
And holds II nicely;
She does not fiaunt her frills around.
Nor let them draggle on the ground.
She has a wide and limpid eye.
But all her glances
Are given TO the distant sky
And no one chances
To hnd her noddins sainst her will
Like primrose or Ike daffodil
She Is, indeed, dame discreet
A Quaker lady;
Not knowing any walled retreat
Nor corner shady;
But living on a common earth-
Not all UNCONSCIOUS OF her worth.
Agnes Grozer Herbert 3n, In the Windsor Magazns.
