Jerome Bonaparte Left BrIde

Jerome Bonaparte married Elizabeth
Patterson, daughter OF William Pat
terson, one of the leading citizens Of
Baltimore. The match was opposed
violently by Napoleon. Jerome's broth
er, who was then first consul of
France, says the Detroit News. Their
mother tried to aid Napoleon In his
effort to have Jerome desert his wife.
Jerome refused to yield, and then Ma
pcleon asked Pope Plus VII to publish
a bull annulling the marriage. The
pope replied that after a careful lnves-
tigation he could find no grounds for
complying with the request OF the en-
peror. Napoleon was furious and at
once instructed his imperial council OF
state to declare the marriage null and
void, which that body obedlently pro-
ceeded to do.
In the meantime Jerome Bonaparte
and his wife went to Europe, but
Napoleon refused to see his brother.
Eventually Jerome yielded to the
stronger nature and shamefully de-
serted his bride.

When Is a Bad Highway
a Good One Is Question

When is a bad road a good road?
And when is a good road a bad road?
Questions seemingly foolish, that are
asked by III. r. Leonard, an authority
on automobiles, In all seriousness. and
then answered by him with consider
able logic.
Many motorists" he says. think Of
q road with a macadam, concrete or
asphalt surface as good without con-
sidering any other feature of travel
over II. A road should not be Judged
by IFS surface alone, however. Some
Of the so-called bad roads with their
cleaner air and picturesque scenery
loom up as vastly more desirable for
enjoyable motoring than the over-trav-
cled highways that parallel them. In
these modern times when the motorlst
rides on long flexible springs and his
car Is equipped with efficient devices
FOR checking spring recon, he can es-
say gypsy trails and country turnpikes
wi'h complete confidence. If his au-
tomobile IS properly equipped he will
ride In comfort at most any pace he
chooses"

in South America in the ages when it
was almost as widely separated from
North America as Australia is now
