CUQIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A NAPOLEONIC COLONY IN ALABAMA. By A. W. MACY. The overthrew of Napoleon and the eetabllahment of a new retime in France was followed by the banian me nt of many of hie prominent fellewere and aup portera. Among them were generals and ether officers of high rank, and ladiee who had figured prominently In court el re lee. One group of them same to America, with the Idea of establishing a little) community of their own, but sub Ject to the Jurisdiction of the United States. Congress grant, sd them, by act of March 3, U17, four townships of land, to be selected by them In the state of Alabama; the condltlona being that they should cultivate the vine on one, acre In each quarter seetlon, and the olive on another, and at the end of 14 years pay the government $2 an acre for the land. About 400 men and women came ever, under the leadership of Marshal Qrouehy and General Lsfsbrs. Most sf them settled In two villages, Demopelie and Eaglsevitle, In what Is new Marengo county. Hero they lived for sevsral years In quietness and almpllclty. But the vine and the olive did not pfseper, and the leaders bacams dlsoeursged. The colony gradually melted away, though R la said the desssndants of asms of - thess . ariatocrstlo French , ssttlsrs are etill to be found In that region.

Far A yay ' Lincoln.

Today Is Lincoln's Birthday. No doubt the usual formalities have been gone through with the usual perfunctory air. A few scatteringpictures of Lincoln appear in the shop windows. Everyone ia content to accord Lincoln a great place in history and that having been done to pat It out of their mind. Practically all trace of Lincoln and the civil war have faded utterly. A generation which la concerned with other things and other problem ia occupying the arena. It thinks that no forerunners have biased the way it believes that no predecessors have been through the harrowing struggle which it is now facing or about to face. Lincoln and his times appear aa far off as Washington and the patriots who framed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Last May the city of Richmond saw the G. A. R. encampment. Hundreds of men from all over the state gathered here. They turned out and marched along the streets of Richmond while thousands cheered. It was a great spectacle. Children were admonished by their parents to be sure and gaze at the procession since it would probably be the last of the kind, which their eyes would see in much the same spirit as they might tell them to take a parting look at the ocean of the Rocky Mountains as the train swung around a curve for the last time.

Probably it is not far from the truth to say that the current idea of the O. A. R. is a group of men who wear a bronze button in their coat lapels, a black soft hat and a rather shiny suit of blue clothes. Only in daugueretypes and in the hearts of a tenth of the living population do these men appear as boys straining to grow their first beards, boys with the usual amount of devilment and vivacity of rollicksome pranks, heedless, reckless daring; boys with sweethearts and hopes and fears. Mention Lincoln and a picture of an ugly lithograph of an ungainly, awkward unintellectual man comes forward. We all feel in duty bound to speak of the "great Lincoln" to hush our voices and speak of the "martyred president." But it is all unreal it is unreal even to the men that lived through it and saw it with their own eyes for the veil of things long past has been drawn over it.

It would make things very much easier for the human race if the experiences of one generation could be learned and mastered for all times. But it is not the same procession that passes perhaps it is only the procession that changes and not the things that it passes that makes the difference in the outward forms of history and apparently weaves a new pattern.

If people think only of Lincoln as a far away personification of platitudes and not a very human man; if they think only of the unreal G. A. R. and not the very real young fellows who dared their lives it is surprising that this country should again be facing a crisis with every possibility of national danger which Lincoln and the boys of '61 met and settled.

A BUSINESS- REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

The political fog still hangs heavy over the stock market, so that uncertainty is felt as to the nominations. How long will the business interests of the country patiently submit to this unsettling political agitation and investigation mania? Capital is not the only interest that is suffering from this sort of political dementia. Enterprise has already been seriously checked, and now labor is being thrown out of employment in increasing numbers by' the very agitation which politicians pretend is for the benefit of labor. If the. investigation probe could only be applied to some of our political agitators, the disclosures aa to motives would doubtless prove very interesting. In some cases these motives are quite as open to criticism as those of the Money Trust and even more harmful. Apparently the country will have to endure this phase of agitation until the close of congress, which will probably not be before the national conventions in June and July. We are now to be entertained with an investigation of the so-called Money Trust. Fortunately its original purpose has been modified and will be carried out on more prudent lines than at one time intended. Very possibly some much needed reforms can be effected upon the methods of conducting large flotations, syndicates, etc. If the investigation is conducted by men of prudence and experience, instead of by professional agitators seeking cheap political advertising, beneficial results may follow. Nevertheless, such an investigation will prolong the period of hesitancy and uncertainty in the financial district; for men of business are not only depressed and barrassed by maneuvering, but their attention is diverted from more legitimate occupations. Outside of politics the general situation is not bad. In fact, there is quite as much of good aa of evil in the general business makeup. It if be admitted that we are still in the period of readjustment following the panic of 1907 a better understanding of the present position of affairs can be attained. After a boom of ten or twelve years, which culminated in 1907, it is quite natural to expect a period of several years to elapse before we get back to normal conditions. The return to normal has been made more difficult by the persistence with which prices remain near the high level. Even now index figures are only slightly below the high record, and there is Itttue prospect of immediate relief. Allowing that cheapening of the cost of gold has had a general effect upon prices the world over, the fact remains that as a rule supply and demand chiefly govern prices, and population in all parts of the world haa gained 4 THIS DATE

upon the soil. In nearly all directions relative scarcity prevents downward reaction in prices. In one sense this is satisfactory. It means that to meet demands not yet satisfied there is plenty of opportunity ahead for larger production, which will call for larger employment for both capital and labor. There is no general overproduction. The whole country Is still taking the rest cure, retailers and wholesalers are carrying small stocks. Few mills are running on full time. Conservation prevails everywhere. The spirit of economy is gradually overtaking the spirit of extravagance. As a result trade and industry are upon an exceptionally soun basis. There is no overexpansion of credit. Our railroads are curtailing as far as possible, often cutting expenses down to the bone. Such economies as are now being enforced by manji of the roads cannot be continued without serious impairment of equipment and roadbed. Sooner or later the railroads will be forced into the market for supplies much more freely than at present. Just now they are embarrassed by diminished earnings and the difficulty of securing capital at satisfactory rates. Such difficulties will in time cure themselves. Traffic is bound to resume its normal growth, 'and capital will be more ready for new ventures when political uncertainties begin to vanish and confidence is restored. The long distance view is probably more reassuring than for some time past, simply because the curative process has been steadily progressing and the increasing soundness of our financial. Industrial and commercial systems is more and more evident. The steel trade is in an unsatisfactory condition owing to the weakness of prices, although the volume of business tends to expand. In the textile trades there is some improvement, the demand for goods increasing and prices showing more firmness. In this field the chief trouble is in the labor situation; the unfortunate strike, at Lawrence, containing disturbing potentialities of a political and Bocial as, well as an economic nature.

A Blight Mietake. Irish pronunciation haa been responsible for many mistakes. Here is one of them. An English regiment on its way to India stopped at Aden; but, noting how dull and arid the place looked, very few went ashore. An officer observed an Irisb eergeant of his company leaning over the ship's side gazing intently at the town. "Well, Pat, and what do yoa think of Aden?" the officer inquired. "Well, yer hon or," was the startling answer. "Pm hanged if I can see what Adam and Eve aaw In it:" London Tatler. IN HISTORY ' " r. ,

Heart to Heart Talks. Bjr ratwm a. wye.

TBE BLUES. You have the "blues?'' The chances are you have no good reason for your bluish feeling. - It may be caused by a bad liver or an insurgent stomach. Or It may ba your "temperament." Or there may be some adequate reason. ButThepe things aside, your case is curable. The cause of your trouble Is inside of you In your thinking. You think the world is all wrong, but you are somewhat like the drunken man who thinks every one is intoxicated. The world Is not wrong. You are wrong. Xow for the cure: I put the prescription in two words and will write It, not in Latin, as the doctors do, but in English. It is this: Do something! It is not important what you do, but it is important "that you quit your brooding over fancied troubles and do something that will change your point of view. Your mind has been hypnotizing itself. The will . power has been broken down, and some of your faculties are running without a governor. You have permitted your mind to delude itself. Do something. Get your mind in shape to overcome its inertia. Do something, if it is only to clean your teeth or brush your clothes or carry in coal. Change the current of your thought. (Jive your will power a chance to assert and right itsejf. Look at your troubles from a different point of view. Smile If you can. Smile at yourself and the worst is over. You will begin to see the silver lining of the clouds. On the other hand, if you continue to nurse your blue feeling it will grow into a grouch. You will not only make yourself more miserable, but cause discomfort to every one about you. Do something. Get out of the rut. Conditions are largely what we think them to be. If you think blue thoughts you will have blue feelings. You can make your thoughts to suit you. If blue thoughts are not to your taste change them to suit. The best way to change your thoughts Is to do something. Not Impressed. "Look at me!" exclaimed the leading lawyer warmly. "I never took a drop of medicine in my life, and I'm as strong as any two of your patients put together." "Well, that's nothing," retorted the physician.
