BRUSSELS, July 16.-Napo'eon
may have been the greatest soldier
of history, but he fell to the Level
OF all lovers, and grovelled before
woman.
Five love letters attributed to
Napoleon have been published here
by the Princess de Ligne. The let
tiers are addressed to an unknown
woman, whom Napoleon cahs
Emma" and who may have been
Mile. de L4auberie de Saint German.
The letters are written IN none
too grammatical French In the eX-
ecrable hand of the famous soldier.
Napoleon's pleas as lover were
but little different than the pleas
Of lovers the world over since time
began.
Excerpts from these love letters
follow:
"Tell me that you will do justice
to feelings worthy Of you, ana ABOVE
| all do not speak to me of social
distinctions, for it is not / who can
give you any.
"You fly away from me, you are
cold and indifferent to me. Emma,
your letter has upset me and !
find no happiness butin your know.
ing the influence you have on me,
the happiness which it would give
me to know that you also feel a
little, and in the hopes that you
will love a little one who loves you
very much.
"The idea that you were angry,
hurt and tired OF flattery and COM
pliments, pure as they were, hurt
me. Write to me and tell me that
your heart is not unfeeling, and
that you believe in the truth of
what 1 am feeling and that yo'I are
not altogether Indifferent to my
happiness or pain-pain because OF
you, Emma"

of the Bay of Acre.
Q. 1 was born on Dec. %, 1901
What day of the week was that and
what is my horoscope?
A. Dec. %, 1901, was on Saturday
Those born at this time usually have
a good mind, with an interest for de-
tail which should fit them for some of
the sciences requiring great skill and
a knowledge of detail-such as chem
istry or electricity for men teachers
and educators for women. They are
great lovers of justice, and are keen
to see the faults of others.
O. | am married woman % years
old, considered attractive and am
thoroughly respectable. Strange as it
may seem I have recently felt my
self becoming more and more infatu-
ated with a married mana particu-
lar friend of both my husband and my
self. My infatuation for this man has
gradually ripened into love, and hard
as l have tried to conceal it, feel
myself stronger and stronger under

his influence. Fearing results, am
asking you for an honest opinion
Please don't divulse my name.
A. Life is big problem. Almost
everyone bases romantic difficulties
on the fact that love is an uncontrol-
liable factor in life, and it makes its
victoms do many strange things that
are contrary to their better judgment
You should make light" of the whole
affair. Treat it as joke. Humor and
romance do not travel we'll together

long.

tended on very good authority that

by destroying the worms and vermin
of the fields
@. Is it any more harm for a lady
to swear than it is for man?
A. No. 1t is unconventional for a

ity with either is to be deplored.
