Napoleon and the Army of Italy
BY REV. THos. B. GREGORY.

TINE Little Corporal" was
made COMMUNICATIVE chief
OF the Army of Italy"
one hundred ard eighteen years
ago.
He lacked five months pr being
~ years old and only IL years
had passed sine he was a charity
student at Brienne.
In the meantime he had kent
himself in the limelight, and at
Toulon had won the distinction
which he knew would give him
the opportunity he wanted. The
opportunity came when the Di-
rectory commissioned him to see
what he could do against the
Austrians in Italy.
When the Little Corporal took
charge of the Army of Italy it
was composed of some 80. 900. rag
ged, half-starved soldiers, but he
breathed into it his own invincible
spirit and buckled himself down

There seems to be little danger
that the Elks' fraternity viii
evolve into a religion: He knows
that truth is point of view, that
all is relative, that nothing is
final nor absolute, nor can it be
in a world where nothing is per-
manent but change.
So the Elk's religion is Now
and Here; to partake of all good
things in moderation; to give out
love and kindness because these
things come back, and to supply
scrap only to the man who re-
peatedly asks for it, and will ac-
cept nothing else-this as a mat
ter of accommodation.
To do good>is the first prong in

Good Cheer
By EBERT HUBBARD

The Elk never weeps over his
own troubles. but for the stricken
souls of earth his tears of pity
are near the surface. He loves
children, respects old age, and so
far as l have seen doesn't incline
especially toward indifference to
feminine charms
! believe this will hold: No
little apology for a man ever
joined the Elks-he would not
feel at home among them. To be
an Elk you must have faith in
other men, faith in yourself, and
faith in The universe.
The E}ks all look alike, and
are all of one age. Just what that
age Is have not made out. but it
lies somewhere between 80 and
so. 30 Elk ever is over so. no
matter how long he has lived and
none weigh over 200 pounds They
all have the joyous, boyiSh, bulb

Government bulletin that has
filled me with renewed thank
fulness for the fact that l had the,
good fortune to spend my boy
hood in the country, where l made
the intimate acquaintance OF the
oueen of American trees, the
sugar maple. which is far more
wonderful in its gifts to mankind
than any of the Wanted monoco-
tyiedons of the lazy tropics, with
their ready made bread and
ready-soured milk
If you have ever tapped a
sugar maple and drank the Juice
fresh from the tree; if you have
ever attended sugar party and
tasted the indescribable candy
produced by throwing the boiling
syrup upon a bank Of fresh snow
where it is quickly frozen into a
mama that seems to combine the
havors and perfumes of all the
fruits and flowers Of Paradise; if
you have ever eaten, on your
morning pancakes, real, genuine,
unadulterated maple syrup-syr-
up that would pass even DR.. Wi
ley's inspection-syrup that would
turn sour in the mere presence
of a patent can; if among your
fathers treasures was a "secre-
tary." or big writing desk, made
of that most exquisite of cabinet
woods, "bird's-eye maple"-then
you will rejoice with me over the
news contained in the 'agricuItu-
raj bulletin" to which l refer.
