Napoleon as Puss in Boots

Master of Europe Conquered by Remark Made by Twelve-Year- ! Qid Child.

Napecleon Bonaparte was always a very small man, and when he first entered the army a&s a sub-lieutenant in dn artillery regiment, the topboots which were part of his uniform were so high and wide, that the thin little legs of the future emperor seemed quite buried in them.

However, the young sub-lieutenant was vain enough to be quite unconscious of the comical figure he cut, and went, readily enough to show off himself and his fine uniform to the Duchesse d’Abrantes and her sister, who had been early playfellows of his.

No sooner did the young -officer enter their drawing-room than the two _girls burst into a loud laugh at his appearance, the younger of the two especially making great fun of him;: but Bonaparte never could relish a

The elder girl was a year or more Bonaparte's senlor, and she told him that “now he was an officer and wore a sword, he ought to know how to behave to ladies and not to speak angrily to them, but should be able to joke back if they laughed at him.”

“Ladies,” said Bonaparte, contemptuously, and looking at the younger girl, “she is nothing but a little school girl.” |

“Those who use typewriters get to have a distinctive touch, so that just from hearing them the man with keen perceptions can tell who is working a machine, as he can tell a man by the sound of his step,” said a man who Is in an office where there are many typewriters. “This is true, of course, only when a man is using his regular machine. When he shifts to another make it is almost impossible to tell who is at work without seeing him. “T‘here are, for instance, seven differeat makes of typewriters in the office where I am, but there are altogether about 25 machines.

Robert Emmet and Sarah Curran

“My love, Sursh' | hoped to be a prop around which your affections might have clung and which would never ha'e been shaken But a rude blast has snapped it and they have fallen over a grave” ; Thus, in 1803, wrote Rabert Emmet. from his prison ceill The lefter was cut short by the arrival of the guard that was to conduct him to the scal foid. His last words and thoughts were for Sarah Curran, the lovely girl who shared with Ireland the devotion of his great heart. A blographer tells {n the following lines how utterly the vouhg patriot’s affection was recipro cated by Miss Curran: i “She loved him with the disinter ested fervor of a woman's first and early love When every woridly max im Arraved itself aguinst him, when blasted in fortune and disgrace and danger darkened arcund his bame. she loved bim the more ardently for his very sufferings” : ; Robert Emmet was an Irishman of excellent family. From boyhood he showed every promise of a briliiant future. At Trinity college. Dublin, where he was a ‘": : ; "::" fellow student and " chum of the poet, Tom Moore, he distinguisbed himself by a veritable genius for oratory. He also became enthusiastic over the “United Irishmen” movement and an earnest worker for his oppressed country's freedom. On account of his ardent patriotism he was expelled from college In 1798 Thence the 20-year-old lad went to the continent of Eu rope, where he remained for two years. Returning then secretly to lre land, he threw himself heart and soul into the plan for a general Irish revofution: On July 23, 1803, he and his colleagues attempted to seize the ar

senal and castle of Dublin. The sol diers of the garrison beat back their agsailants and the uprising failed. Emmet escaped to the Wicklow mountains, where he bided his time until he could cross safely to France. Finally his srrangements for flight were completed. But before turning his back forever on his native land he resoived to run the terrible risk of capture by seeking a last interview with Miss Curran. His friends adviged against such a rash act. But love was stronger than prudence. The chance for safe escape passed and Emmet was arrested. He was tried for high treason and condemned to death. At his trial he spoke so eloquently in protest against Ireland’s wrongs that the English judge himself was moved to tears.

Emmet wrote to Miss Curran, and. according to the story, offered a jailer his watch and all his money to deliver the letter. Through secret family influence the unhappy girl is said to have secured leave to visit Emmet in his cell the dayv before his execution. She is also said to have sat in a carriage outside the prison when Emmet came forth to be hanged, and to have kissed her hand in farewell to the galiant youth. After her lover's death Misg Curran

Snakes are creatures of mystery. 1 have often tried to trace a snake immediately after it had entered its hole in a small rubbish heap, but always without success. It disappears like magic. The reason is the snake can only burrow in soff mossy or ferny . places, and so haunts old runs made iby the small mammalia. Brusher nev. ' or wasted time Jcoking for a snake | ““Taint nary a mossal a use;: "tis i gone,” he would say. The harmless | grass snake deposits its eggs in some . warm place, like a manure heap, for ' tncubation. It is a question, “Have { the small reptiles, at the moment of ; birth, the guidance of a mother to in- | giruct them in life?” 1 have- never | seen the grass snake surrounded by { her young nor to my knowledge has i any one else. The little snakes, it | must be remembered, are more or less ! matured when the so-called eggs are | deposited. At birth both snakes and ‘ reptiles are about three inches long, and in a few days grew to a foot and over. 1 think the young of the adder chift for themselves after birth, never going into the nest hole.—" Uncle Ar- ! thur” in The London Express.

' As everyone knows, W, Post of Battie Creek, Michigan, ts pot oniy & maker of breakfast {oods, but Be is a strong individual who helieves that the trades-anicns are a wenace o the b erty of the country " Belteving this, and being a “natural bhorn”™ scrapper for the right, as he sees 1t Post, for several years past, has beon enigaged in a ceaseless warfare against “The Labor Trust.,” as he likes to call it ' Not being able to secure free and gntrammeled expression of his opinons on this sublect through the regular resding pages of the newspapers he bas bought advertising space for this purpose, fust as be s recustiomed Lo tar the telling of his Postum “story.” and he has thus spent hundreds of thousands of doilars in denouncing trades-unionism As a resuit of Post's activities the people pow know a whole ot abont these organizations: how they are seneycombed with graft, how they obstruct the deveiopment of legitimate business, curtail labor's output, hold ip manufacturers, graft upon theirown membership, and rob the public. Natw rally Post Is hated by the trades anionists, and intensely. : He employs no union labor, so they san no! call out his men, and he defies their efforts at boyveotting his products. The latest means of “getting ' Post is the widespread publication of the story that a car which was recently wrecked n tranemission was found to be ioaded with empty peanut shells, which were peing shipped from the south to Post's establishment at Battle Creek. This canard probably originated with President John Fitzgerald of the Chicago Federation of Labor, who, it 18 sald, stated it publicly, as truth. Post comes back and gives Fits gerald the lie direct. He denounces Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate ‘alsehood, an underhanded and cowardly attempt to injure his business, having not the slightest basis in fact. As such an effort it must be regarded. It is significant that this statement about

‘the peanut shells” is being given wide pewspaper publicity. In the “patent inside” of an eastern country paper I find it,-and the inference naturally is that labor-unionites are insidiously spreading this lie. An institution (or a man} which will resort to morai intimidation and to physical force, that will destroy machinery and burn buildings, that will maim and kill if necessary to effect its »nds, niturally would not hesitate to spread faisehood for the same purposes. We admiire Post While we have no enmity toward labor unions, so long as they are conducted in an honest, “live-and-let-live” kind of a way, we have had enough of the tarred end of the stick to sympathize thoroughly with what he is trying to do. He deserves support. A man like Post can not be killed, even with lies. They are a boomerang, every time Again, we know, for hasn't this weapon, every weapon that could be thought of, been used (and not simply by labor unions) to put us out of business, too? : 1 am going to drink fwo -cups of Postum every morning from this time “on, and put myself on a diet of GrapeNuts.
