Eurolean political caricature from 1703 until 1815 may be said to bare been Napoleon. Although in France this form of pictorial art was rigidly suppressed, Gllray and Rowlandson in England and a score of artists in German a ft A A narrin arnra Hanletlnv tha great emperor as the most Infamous of monsters. The first known caricature of Bonaparte was drawn years before the first consulate, when the Bourbons atUI sat apon the throne of France. It la reproduced In Norwood Young's "The Growth of Napoleon." Yoang Bonaparte's years at the military academy at Brienne were not happy ones. He was a Gorsicau, and' at that time Corsica was (e recently conquered province. Tbt cartoon, which was drawn bj a schoolmate, represents the future emperor standing, a severe and determined look upon bis face, with both bands on the top of a musket, resting the butt on tbe ground. A smaller figure behind him. an old man whose nose nearly reaches his chin. Is pulling htm back by his wig. Napoleon's feet face in two directions one forward, tbe other backward. Underneath is written, "Bona parte rushes to tbe aid of Paoll to rescue him from tbe band of bis ene mles." These words bare been struck through with a pen. which bas also been drawn across the face of Na poleoo, . THE PERSIANS. Net Ruled by Caste, but Are Crest ticklers For Etiquette. The pleasures of tbe Persians are in tbe main refined. They bare not many kinds of recreation. Conversation Is one of their chief enjoyments. Although a large proportion of them can neither read nor write, 1 think we must call -them an intellectual people. They are natural linguists, and since their country Is Inhabited by many different races they are obliged to apeak; several different languages. It la not uncommon to Bad a man who scarcely knows bis right band from bis left wbo can speak two or three languages fluently. To this number a man of any education whatever would odd two or three more. There is no caste among any of tbe races found in Persia. A son of Naslr-l-Dtn Sbnn's butler became bis prime minister; a peasant girl once became the first favorite of this same king's andernn because she lifted ber Tell as the king was passing through ber native Tillage and ber beauty appealed to tbe royal fancy. But while there is no caste the Persians are in some ways great sticklers for etiquette. Tbe Zl-I-Sultan. the oldeat nod most capable son of Naslr-I-Din. could not succeed his father on tbe throne because bis mother was not of royal birth. All social func-( tlonsy moreover, are attended with the most rigid ceremonies, and woe to the person wbo attempts to overstep tbe bounds wblcb custom bas prescribed for bis rank. Mary A.

"We are at last taking an ethical view of politics; -and it was this attitude which I found was the most resented by our opponents. They flatly declared that the introduction of morals into politics was mischevlous' So writes Winston Churchill, the novelibt who turned out to be fighting man enough to free the whole state of New Hampshire from Boston and Maine and their allied interests.

Well, on Saturday night, the people for whom Richmond is the center of things will have a chance to hear a man who "knows the difference between the will of the people and "politics." Hia name is Kobert LaPollette. It has been circulated through t he news columns of almost every paper in the United States that LaPollette will "withdraw" from the race for the presidency. The Palladium itself published the current report. His friends deny it. It is not necessary to deny it. Of course La Follotlc will not remain a candidate if another man is suggested for the presidency who meets with greeter approval than he. He is not that hort. He has asked that it be left to the people. Hut what man is better qualified? The report of his withdrawal was a malicious report, it was quite as malicious as any of the reports which have ever been circulated. Vet we doubt if laFollette would take the trouble to deny it at length or run it to earth. If the people do not want him, if they do not demand him as a candidate on the Republican ticket he is not the man to sulk; he will stand on his platform he will not push his person forward. LaPollette has been pictured as anxious for the presidency of the United States. He is. He has said so. What patriotic man would not feel the honor?

George William Curtis in an essay on the "holier than thou" attitude brings up the point that a man whom is free from taint is holier than his neighbors and cannot help his consciousness of doing right more than a man can help feeling well in a hospital in which the nick beds are full. What if LaPollette does declare he is honest' and what if he proves it; what if la Pollette does declare he is right and offers the proof; what if lie does issue a challenge to anyone to catch him on his facts or his theories? The historians of the' United States in future years will have to reckon LaPollette and Roosevelt as the twin stars which led the people out of the wilderness. Roosevelt knows that he, Roosevelt, is right he makes no bones in saying it. LaPollette makes no bones of admiring the sturdy " character of Roosevelt. Roosevelt has placed a very high estimate on the work of LaPollette.

This is no mere back scratching. The men are' vitally different. (

They are both, also, vitally trie same. They have both injected the principles of honesty simple right and simple wrong into public life. If they had done no more this would have been enough. It is true that LaPollette has been more constructive than Roosevelt " it is true that Roosevelt has had a better chance it is true that Roosevelt has been more widely recognized than La Follette it is true that their personalities have not made them friends but it is true also that greater than all these they stand for the" same thing right things in public life. .Now, less than ever, The Palladium cares to set forward the platform of Senator LaPollette or what his measures are. The reason is because he is coming to Richmond. But whatever he says and whatever be does he has the reputation of twenty years steady fighting behind him on the issue of accomplishing constructive legislation by lucid arguments -based on actual facts. Those who wish to combat him have found it necessary to hear him. Those who have wished to combat him have never had an opportunity of finding him on the wrong moral, ethical, and conscientious aide that is to say the side that gave a privilege to a few men which was not the common opportunity of all.

THEY LIKE SHARP FOOD. Lions Gobble Up Porcupines, and Cameta Eat Spiny Cactus. A note in the London Field draws attention to Hons that eat porcupines, it would appear that an animal protected by Buch powerful spines should be quite secure from attack. Yet, if we may trust tbe account given, it appears to be a habit on the part of tbe Hon and not an isolated occurrence. Captain Dumbell had been told by a native hunter that tbe Hon was in the habit of eating porcupines. And this has been confirmed by two English sportsmen, V. KIrby. for example, has taken a porcupine's head from tbe stomach of a lioness. Others relate that It is not uncommon to find lions wltb porcupine quills sticking all over their noses, faces and paws. It seems to argue some Indifference to pain on tbe part of tbe lion, as well as a fancy for porcupine's flesh. Compare this with the case of the camel, which a distinguished traveler describes as calmly chewing up a very spiny plant with tbe blood dripping from its mouth l The cattle In some of the arid parts of America, again, browse on that spiny cactus. And In some parts of the English coast the horses browse on the prickly sea holly, while the donkey's partiality for thistles is well known. Incidentally such rases seem to sbow that spines In nature are not such efficient protectors as some neve supposed. Only One "BROMO QUININE" That is LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE.

RETURNED HER HAT. 8he Didn't, but He Did. and He Must Have Been Brave Man. Tbe bravest man in New York made his appearance In a Broadway store one day last week. He carried an enormous bandbox, wblcb contained an enormous bat, on wblcb the man wanted what be considered an enormous amount of money refunded. The man was pretty mad, and while looking for some one who bad tbe authority to negotiate the transaction be talked loud enough for everybody to hear. "My wife bought this hat." be said. "She doesn't need It She bas already bought three hats this season. She paid $35 for this one. She has never worn It It Just came home last night I can't afford to throw all that, money away, and I want you to take the bat back. She wouldn't bring it down, so I undertook tbe job myself." "By tbo side of that man Napoleon was a cringing coward." said the young woman who bad made the' sale. "Imagine him flouncing into a Parisian millinery shop with a hat that he didn't want Josephine to buy I He couldn't have done it. Very few men can. Once in a long while some poor New Yorker with the courage of desperation in his heart returns merchandise which he cannot afford to buy for his wife, and bis audacity upsets the whole store for a month."

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

PASS IT ON! Have you had a kindness ahowm? Pass it on. Twas not done tor you alone. Pass It on. Let it echo down the years. Let it dry another's tears. Till in haven it reappears. Pass it on. A story goes with the well known poem "Pass It On." Mark Gray Pearce, a well known English preacher, when a boy In Paris spent all his money except sufficient to pay his passage across the channel on the boat. When meal time came the lad was ravenously hungry. After he had eaten the steward presented his bill. There was no money. The steward declared he would bold the boy's baggage for payment. "What is your name?" Upon being told the steward's face changed. He asked the name and residence of the by's father, whereupon he grasped young Pearce's hand and said be w ould be only too glad to pay the bill himself. Some years before, it appears, the father of Pearce had done a great kindness for the steward's widowed mother. Said Pearce's father: "You see how a kind deed travels. It's your turn now. See that you pass it on." Some years later Mr. Pearce while buying a railroad ticket saw a lad pleading with the ticket seller to let him have a ticket. The boy said his father was very ill. Upon receiving the telegram to come at once he had hurried to the train and had forgotten to bring the money. Like a flash came the words of Mr. Pearce's father, 'Tass it on." Immediately be stepped up and bought a ticket for the boy, who was both delighted and astonished. Mr. Pearce explained and said: "It's your turn now. Pass it on." The boy gladly promised. When Mr. Pearce went home he told both stories to his father-in-law, Mr. Burton, who thereupon wrote the poem whose refrain is, "Pass it on." Most of us have been recipients of an unusual kindness. We should Pass it on. You and I and all of us are Individual links in the chain of life. If each of us will pass on the kindness shown, the circle when complete will be a part of that "golden chain that binds the whole world to the throne of God."

The great hall of the Hotel de Ville of Aries, designed by Mansard, is the wonder and admiration of every one who has seen It on account of tbe groined roof. In regard to this a neighboring cafeJler teUs a somewhat grim story. King Louis XIV. happened to be passing through the city just at the time Mansard was superintending the completion of his creation. The roof was supported by a powerful pillar. Tbe monarch admired tbe work and congratu lated the architect on his design. At that moment the architect was passing through great domestic tribulation. He had a son under sentence of death, so he thought It would be a good opportunity to intercede on behalf of tbe ladMansard threw himself at the feet of the king and said: "Your majesty sees in the center that massive column? If you will spare the life of my son 1 will remove the unsightly pillar, and the roof shall stand without support." "Mansard," replied the king, "if you accomplish that miracle I will pardon your son, but If you fail I will hang you with him." The architect removed the pillar without great difficulty and with the result desired. The cafetier is a philosopher, and be concludes bis story with the reflection that had not Mansard's son been a scamp the hall at Aries would be just like any other hall.

AN ENGLISH PENSIONER. Superannuated at Birth and Drew the Stipend All Hia Life. The wife of an English cabinet minister had promised to stand godmother to an infant and. calling on the parents a day or two previous to the christening, expressed her regret that her husband bsd nothing left at his disposal of any importance and that the only

thing he couia do ror her godson was to put his name on the pension list as a superannuated general postman. The offer was accepted. The pension was regularly paid to the parents during the minority of their son and to him afterward as long as he lived. He thrived in the world, became an alderman and attained a considerable age. often declaring that he had more pleasure in pocketing the few pounds he drew half yearly from this source than he derived from the receipt of any other portion of his income. He died a few days after one payment was due, and one of his executors came to town to announce his decease and to receive the money. On asking the clerk who paid him if it was necessary to produce a certificate of the death he was answered: "Oh. no. not in the least, I will take your word for it. My father paid his pension as long as he lived, and I have paid it myself for the last thirty years. I am quite sure that the old gentleman must be dead by this time." This recipient of the public bounty had been a superannuated postman for upward of eighty years. Exchange. To Be a Real Actor. Sinking one's identity in character parts on the stage is but an insignificant branch of acting. The displaying of a personality beneath tbe makeup, the Incarnation of a written character in flesh and blood, by a sheer act of genius on the part of the actor in filling a part with his own personality tempered to the limitations of his role the creation, in short of a Uving, visible and iivteUigible being, is the grand goal of the actor's art , How well Richard Mansfield knew that art! In his performances you saw an impenetrable makeup; but, though Mansfield was hidden, behind the disguise were the brains of the greatest dramatic genius of our generation, fashioning steadily and superbly a character as he conceived it out of the materials placed at his command by the playwright Henry Kolker in National Magazine. Trying to Be Witty. They were sitting in the parlor with the lights turned low. The hour was pretty late. He and she had talked about everything, from the weather to the latest shows. He yawned, and she yawned, but he made no attempt to move toward home, and she was becoming weary. At last she said: "I heard a noise outside just now. I wonder if It could be burglars?" Of course he tried to be funny. "Maybe it was the night falling," he said. "Oh, I think not!" she exclaimed. "More Hkely it was the day breaking!" Hasty exit, of he- Pearson's Weekly.

PROOF OF GENTILITY.

Sleeves That Hid the Hands Shewed the Wearers Didn't Work. The practice observed among Spanish hidalgos of allowing the finger nails to grow into claws was to demonstrate that they had never done any manual work. The same custom exists among the Chinese for the same reason. Among the Romans the wearing of long sleeves, which came down over the band, was tbe fashion in aristocratic circles. This advertised to the world that the wearer did not engage in any labor and freedom from employment was the condition of respectability. English boots and shoes have .been designed more or less for the same purpose as that of fbe Chinese, who bind their women's feet in proof of ) their gentility. As early as the time of William Rufus "peaked toed boots and shoes" had their points made like a scorpion's tail, and a courtier named Robert stuffed his out with tow. and caused them to curl round In the form of a ram's horn, a fashion whith took mightily among the nobles. It is plain that the purpose of this fashIon was to show that the privileged wearer was not dependent on any kind of "labor or fleet ness of foot for his daily bread. The practice of wearing tight fitting boots and shoes is an old one, for Chaucer, writing of them in his day. says that it is Merveyle slth that they sltte so pleyn. How they come on or off again.
