snow storm which supplied an abun-

bullets never flew thicker IN Europe

SPOT ON NAPoLEoN's RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory Of |
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes in the. Field.

The military genius of Bonaparte Is
still a 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
prestige which 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 bItin-
ders of the Russian campaign and the
overthrow at Waterloo.
One qualification Of a great general
was conspicuous in his character. the
capacity of recognizing and rewarding
merit in whatever position 1t might be
found. Favoritism was almost I'M
known in his army. He was Of a 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.

License Tax Collections

For the three months of Ju-
ly, August and September the
Town Marshal, who is ex-officio
license tax collector, reports the
collections as amounting to a
total of $4,373.39. This SUN
was distributed as follows: Jul
ly $1,311.60; August $1,709.3z,
September $1,352.47. There
was a decrease in the number
of jitney licenses but more than
a corresponding increase in mer-
camille licenses. The reduction
in the number of jitney licenses
resulted from the departure of
the white soldiers belonging to
the 35th Infantry.

W.iERE TAXES ARE UNKNOWN
Some Few Places on Earth's Surface
That Would Seem Ideal Spots
In Which to Locate.

In these days of expensive nvins
what a boon to I've in city without
taxes! But there are such places.
There is Orson in Sweden. This
municipality has its ordinary city ex,
penses, but 1t imposes no taxes. More
over, the local railway Is free to every
citizen and there is no charge for tele-
phone service, schools, Libraries and
the like.
All this Is due to the wisdom Of 4
former generation. who planted treea
on all the available ground, with the
result that during the past thirty
years the town authorities have sold
$5,000,O00 worth of young trees and
timber, while judicious replantinga
have provided for similar income In
the future. =
Then there is Mourmalen, In the
Midi, France. Here not only are there
no taxes, but the timbers on the com.
munal lands are sufficient to grant
each person a small annuity.
Nearer home we have the island Of
Innishmurray, off the west coast 81

live on the island resolutely refuse to

Hurry and Health.

Don't hurry. 1t wears the system
like worry. 1t is especially harmful
in hot weather.
Hurry tears out the nerves and the
body tissues rapidly, puts lines In the
face, interferes with digestion and 9th
er intestinal action, and In time may
produce permanent palpitation Of the
heart.
Loss Of both physical and mental
control and number of varieties Of
nervous disorders may also result from
chronic 'hurrying up"
Hurry exhausts twice the energies IN
a given time that would be required
to accomplish twice the work If under
taken in a leisurely manner.

reeumseh,s Bone. vnearthed.

A discovery recalling early Canad.
ian history has been made at e. farm
In the village Of Thamesville, Ont.
where bones were dug up which may
be those of the Indian Chief Tecum-
sch, who fell fighting for the British
in 1913. With the skeleton were metal
military buttons and a pistol Of the
type then used. There are most trust.
worthy reports that the chief had been
buried close to this place.
Tecumseh, Shawnee chief, fought
with the British during the invasion OF
Canada by the Americans In 1872 and
1913. A man Of great energy and de.
cision, he was entrusted with many
minor enterprises, and was finally
killed in battle, when his body WAS
treated with great indignity.
