It is believed that the only wound Ma poleon Bonaparte ever received in battle was at Ratisbon, on April 23 1909, when he was struck by a piece of shell. The Emperor hastily bandaged the wound and paid no further attention to it till the bat tie was won. The splinter of shell is now in the army museum in Paris.

work for it's very foundation was built of love for the boy. We heard step by step of the things that grew out of that love-but one of the sweetest deeds tells of the first investment of one of our young men who is no more, but his spirit lives with the boys at the school.
 When Phares. Coleman was mere child he began to save his dimes, and treasured his little bank. On one occa- sion Mrs Johnston visited his mother in Montgomery and she told of the need of beds for the boys. Little Phares, playing near heard the story, and with out hesitation he emptied his first sav
 ngs into Mrs. Johnstons lap, and the first brand new bed bought for the school was his gift to some boy who needed to sleep, and somehow I imagine as the head is lowered in prayer on that bed at night Phares Coleman is near There is a great power behind the manipulation of this school. Alabama fosters her charge, but MT. and Mrs Weakley make the home, with an able corps of assistants They need no intro duction in this story. Their work speaks every hour. They love the boys, and this is why they are growing sturdy why they are getting to be good, strong men. The school is the hope of the wayward boy, an ornament to Birming ham, and a credit to Alabama. Starting homeward we glanced at MT. Weakley and said good night" but we thought 'So our lives
 In acts exemplarie, not only winne
 Ourselves good names, but doth to others
 give
 Matter for virtuous Deedes by which we

Brienne-le Chateau the little French town where Napoleon received his mi,i- tary education, celebrates this year the one hundred and fifth anniversary of the Emperors last visit to the village. It was on January 29, 1874, that Napoleon began his campaign against the allies, who were storming at all the borders of France. At Brienne, where he had been taught the grim science of warfare he attempted to cut the Silesian army in two by suddenly interposing his forces between those of Schwartzenberg and Bluecher, the object being to prevent their uniting. Almost on the same spot and on the same day Napoleon had hairbreadth escape from the attack of Cossack who attempted to murder him. It was only the prompt assistance of Gorgaud that saved Napoleon.
