SPOT on NAPoLEoN's RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory Of
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes In the Field.

The military genius Of Bonaparte IL
still q fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part of his career he achieved
such successes as made his name q
terror to Europe, and gained for him
q prestige which a series Of continu-
Gus and overwhelming defeats In the
latter part Of his history was unable
to destroy. But in the game Of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
and the victories Of Marengo, Austen
litz and Wagram can scarcely be adj
mitted In compensation for the blum
ders Of the Russian campaign and the
overthrow ut Waterloo.
One qualification OF q great general
was conspicuous In his character, the
capacity Of recognizing and rewarding
merit In whatever position II might be
found. Favoritism was almost I'M
known In his army. He was Of cold
blooded temperament, engrossed ex-
clusively by the master-passion. ambi-
ton. and the very cause which kept
his moral purity inviolate made him
almost Insensible to the promptings Of
love and affection.

Scorpio Is a constellation and the
eighth sign Of the zodiac. The con-
stellation Is conspicuous in early sum-
mer In the skies Of the southern Unit
ed States, where the whole Of the mag
nlhcent tail clears the horizon. With
the Chaldeans and Greeks it extended
over one-sixth Of the planetary circle,
the Scorpion being represented with
exaggerated claws embracing q circu-
lar space where Libra Is now placed.
From this irregularity It may be In
ferred that the constellation Is older
than the zodiac, which was formed be-
fore 1000 B. G. Libra, though later, is
Of no small antiquity, since II appears
In the Egyptian Eodiacs. Its adoption
by Julius Caesar In his calendar made
II familiar. Ptolemy, however, though
living In Egypt nearly two centuries
later, follows Babylonian and Greek
astronomers in covering the place Of
Libra with the Scorpions claws.

FATTENING
TURKEYS

The turkey. beng somewhat of n
wild fowl, does not take kindly TO
small pens and Is usually fattened on
the range. Birds that are to be mar
keted for the holiday trade are given
all the cracked corn they win eat
twice q day. When freezing weather
comes early and destroys insect life
II Ia advisable 20 furnish some form
OF meat feed, such rs commercial meat
scrap, where birds can have easy &C.
cess to It
In case a local market Ii to be SUD-
piled 1t Is possible to feed turkeys In
crates. The birds are put In small
crates In a quiet. protected building
and fed three times Q day on batter
made Of cornmeal, low grade -four,
meat scraps and q small amount of
bran mixed with buttermilk. This
method Is more expensive and only
practical where markets are to be sup
piled. The old range method OF fat
tening Is more desirable as well as eco
nomical.
Care should be taken to remove all
breeding stock from the birds select
ed for market. as It Ia not desirable
that those to be kept over should be-
come too fat.
