Letter Reveals
Napoleon's Love
For Josephine

TN March 1876, a rising young
officer in the French army,
twenty-seven years old, and just
designated general-in-chief of the
army in Italy, was accepted in mar
riage by beauteous Partisan lady.
The army officer was Napoleon;
the lady. Josephine.
Napoleon's great love for his
adored wife is nowhere more clear
ly revealed than in the impassioned
epistles he dispatched to Josephine,
left behind to enjoy the pleasures
of Paris. Lincoln M. Schuster, who
has recently published volume of
the worlds greatest letters, brings
to light in the April issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, one of
these memorable letters.
Verona, September II,
"My Beloved:
81 write often, but / seldom hear
from you. You're wicked and unkind
as you are frivolous. It's shameful,
the way you trifle with your poor
husband, your adoring lover. Must
he be neglected just because he's
far away, harassed by work and
care and WEAKNESS, without his
Josephine? Without the assurance
of her love, what on earth has he
left, what can he do?
"We had a very bloody battle
yesterday; the enemy lost a lot of
men, and were completely beaten.
We took the outskirts of Mantua.
"Adieu, adorable Josephine. One
of these nights your door will fly
open with a crash, and your jealous
husband will be in your arms. A
thousand burning kisses.

This Youngsters Name
Comes From High Source

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK,
MONTH Allyn Grinnell Stevens
isn't mountain climber when he
grows up, it won't be his fault. He
was christened for mountain and
a glacier.
Altyn's parents, MIR. and Mrs.
Cullen A. Stevens of Tampa, Fla.
his grandmother, and his two broth
ers were touring Glacier park when
he was born.
What to name the youngster was
something of problem. The par
ents and grandmother consulted
park rangers. Mrs. Stevens recalled
she had hiked to Grinnen glacier the
day before the boy was born She
suggested his middle name be Grin
nell. Everyone agreed.
Ranger Walter Nitzel gazed at
Allyn peak which towers above the
Many Glacier camp ground. He
said the first name should be Allyn.
That idea also was adopted.

DiSgraceful Lack of Interest

Very little interest in town
affairs was displayed by resi-
dents here Monday afternoon.
At the referendum election
for a Town Manager system
of government, only 122 per-
sons voted, while $50 persons
cast votes at the town election
in February.
That means that 43S Smyr-
ma residents, who were quail
flied to vote neglected to do so.
Whatever the results of the
election had been, for or
against, it means that only
one-fifth Of the voters were
represented by registering
their opinion, while the other
four-fifths just didn't care.
The general lack Of interest
in almost anything undertak-
en- here is bad enough, but the
shrugged : shoulder, L don't :
care attitude toward civic gov
eminent puts us in a class
close to the indolent shirkers.
A lack of interest, such as
was displayed here Monday,
when such an important civic
issue was at stake, is nothing
short Of a disgrace.

addition, according to the same au-
thority, it Is probable that three
million tons more of direct ship
ments of cattle to market are truck
hauled.
The Fruehauf Trailer Company
reports a growing use Of its trailers
for the purpose of direct delivery
Of cattle. Because of the better con-
dition Of the cattle on delivery at
the market, farmers are realizing
more for their cattle by this method
of handling. The accompanying
illustration is typical Of the type Of
equipment used for this form of
distribution In farms all over the

 It made her wonder, duly, if it was wise to see so much of Paul. But that was nonsense! Just because she used to be engaged to him. Hadn't Bill himself said, Take care of her for me, Paul"
 And then, one night when Bill had been gone three weeks, Paul turned up at the apartment without Suzanne.
 We had" he explained, "a little disagreement last night, after we left you"
 oh" She wondered if he would tell her what it had been about. But he didn't. He only said, I'll show her!" smiling, as though it was all rather silly and unimportant.
 You and l." he went on, "are going to the Davenport for dinner tonight"
 But"
 "Thatll make Suzanne burnl" he said.
 Somehow, there was something not quite light in his tone. But she meekly got her coat, and off they went.
 The Davenport was the swank- inest restaurant in town. They had come here often, long ago. The headwaiter even remembered them, and led the way to the table in the corner where they used to sit.
 She was conscious, as she looked around, of the fact that her simple dark dress, the gold chain at her throat, were too demure, not up to the style of the ruby velvet dinner dress of the woman at the next table. She had never used to worry about her clothes before. Because then she had lived in two-by-four room in a boarding house and all her money went on her back. Now, it was different. She realized, sud- denly, she hadn't had 8 new dress for months.

 It was a delicious dinner, from the shrimp cocktail straight through to the luscious French pastry.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Bounty Soils Again
 On Pitcoirn's Stamps

THE British warship Bounty, scene of the most famous mu- tiny in history, is pictured on the Pitcairn Island stamp above, one of the islands first individual is- sue of eight stamps.
 The story of the Bounty is fa- miliar to readers of fact and fic- lion. The motion picture version did not tell the entire story.
 The Bounty sailed from Eng and in 1787, with a crew of 46 commanded by Captain William Bligh, to transport breadfruit trees rom Tahiti to the West Indies, where the fruit would ultimately erovide a cheap food for planta- ion slaves. After 10 months voy- lge the ship reached Tahiti, re- nained there six months collect ing cargo.
 Bligh then set out for Tonga, put the crew grumbled at leaving the easy life of Tahiti and the captain adopted stern disciplinary measures. Discomfort f1ared into nutiny on April 28, 1789, under the leadership of Fletcher Chris ian. 24-year-old mate. Bligh and IS loyal seamen were set adrift.
 Christian and the other mu- 'ineers returned to Tahiti. Fear Ing English law, nine of the mu- inous crew fled with 19 natives o Pitcairn Island, burned the Bounty, and were not heard of lgain for l9 years.
