the Arch of Triumph dedicated
to the glory Of Napoleon and his
armies. From the little hill
of the Arc is had an inverse
views of the Elysees, at the other
end the Place de la COncOrde,
with no suggestion of that grim
structure where they chopped off
Marie-AntOniette's proud head.
On the contrary, the places most
distinctive characteristics aro
the great statues of the large
cities of all France, suggestive of
the present united Republic.
Half way between La Concor-
de and the Arc is a circular "Pla-
ce" from which to the right is
distinguished, on the other side
of the Seine and over the POnt
Alexandra III, the massive build
ing of the Invalides, where many
of Napoleon's heroes have lived
their last uneventful days. Inside
of the "Invalides" is contained
the tomb of the great Emperor, a
most imposing work of glorifica-
ton. The tomb it's If, or coffin,
if it can be called that, is of very
large size, and of sOmber, very
impressive color. Around it are
statues representing the Empe,
r0r's victories and over it is a
magnificent dome. Around the
lower balcony are pictures ale
gorical of Napoleon's bequeaths
to mankind and civilization:
Napoleon handing down the Co
de; instituting the. Legion of
Honor, type of the democracy of
merit; fostering commerce and
industry, ETC., etc. May it not be
that some future, or not our
present age, will create some
such inspiring monument to the
leading man of our own time, OF
this same present day, living
mankind of which VIC each are a
little particle? Around his maui
soleum, in the place of Auster-
litz, Wagrams, Ienas, etc, would
be the. allegorical figures of Po-
lish Independence. Jugo-Slovak
Sovereignty, Armenian Emanci-
patton, Imperialism's downfall,
Republicanism's triumphantmarch
through Europe. Around the
floor would appear .,allegories of
the Federal Reserve Act, the
Farmers Laws, the Labor

Laws, etc. And a stand
ing figure somewhere of Eloquen-
ce at the service of Justice and
Right.
But let us come back to Paris,
and start off in another direction
from the Place de la COncorde up
the Ave. de POpera, to the Opera,
undoubtedly one, if Not the most,
magnificent theatre in the world.
The building is circular, of odd,
handsome architecture; it has a
spacious. beautiful interior. Its
seating. capacity is 2200 and there
is ample room in the ''f0yers" for
very pleasant promenading ir the
entre-acts. "Thais" was played
the night l went.
OF course l visited "Notre Da-
me de Paris" where Quasimode
rang the bells in olden times.
This is a very quaint building on
the outside. with a multitude of
statues and figures of all descrip-
tions, and very peculiar arches
and tOWerettes. 1t is in great
contrast to the stately straight
lines of st. Patricks of New York.
or of the Madeleine in Paris. The
famous glasses of the windows
had been taken off to safeguard
them against bombardment, and
have not yet been put back in their
places. The. interior of the cathe
dral is solemn and awe-inspiring.
Other monuments of Paris are
the Palais de Justice, which is
in the "Island" with the Notre
Dame; the museums, etc. The
Palace of Justice was begun in
the 10Th century, to be the home
of the kings of France. Palais
de PElysee, last refuge of Napo-
leon after Waterloo; now the
white House of the French Re
public. Palais Royal built for
Richelieu, and now occupied by
the State Chancellors. And !
must not forget the famous "LOu-
vre" containing the most wonder
full collection of the works of man.
1t was once the home of the
French kings; now the home of
Art.
To see Paris is to study into
the history of France, and not
only of France, but of man, of
mankind and civilization.

Congratulations. Mr.. Monroe

so far, have given so eGcellcnt re-
suits.
Let's see: Cuba is yet under
the Platt's amendment, which
makes of the neighbouring is
land an imitation republic; Mica
ragua's liberty is pending from
the claws of the Yankee eagle;
the political status of Puerto Ri
co, is not settled as yet, after
twenty-one years of domination;
the abominable injustice COM
mitted with Colombia, has not
yet been amended; Panama,
without national dignity; Santo
Domingo, finds itself under un-
just pressure.
The United States never stop
to think that the respect and
esteem of the Latin-American
countries toward them will grow
in the inverse proportion to
their territorial expansion.
The greater they become ma
terially at the expense of Latin
America, the smaller, they will
tbe morally in our estimation.
Physical strength is not enough
to join peoples and draw them
together, if there is lack of moral
prestige.
1t is clear that the Monroe
Doctrine is no longer America
for the Americans Tread Latin
Americans, as well as North
Americans), but America for the
United States.

The United States paid 81, ,2G0,-

greater in value than the DUP

seven times greater, and the total
export and import trade between
the mother country and her adopt

When Secretary of State Sc
ward bought from the Russian

off, and here is What some Of the
bright and shining lights among

Alaska is an inhospitable,

gion, worth nothing, but a

United States. - Ferris OF

about the future of Porto. Rico,
we should all feel interested in the facts given about that
country whose present political status some people say
q is Identical to own.
Alaska is young compared with Porto Rico. We may
say that she began to the light of civilization only
about half century ago. when the transfer of the
try from Russia to the United States was followed by
bthe discovery of gold and the going thither of white
settlers Porto Rico has been affected by civilization for
several centuries.
1T is that Alaska's natural beyond

I'd always like to have pack of

I'd like to take the mroaming through

And spend my life in painting little
peoples fairy dreams,
For man is never selfish, never

No matter where he travels when he's

And the boyhood and the girlhood
