One European People
# Was Napoleon's Dream;
" In all the six years of his SADUIILH
he does not seem, even once, to hava;
sung the praises of General Bonaparte. |
If he is summing up what he achieved,
he says:
“My fame does not rest upon my 40]
victorious battles, nor does it lie in the!
fact that I bent the monarchs to my!
will. Waterloo will wipe out the mem-
ory of so many victories; the last act
makes one forget the first. What will |
pever pass away is my book of laws,
minutes of my council of state, my cor-|
respondence with my ministers. . . o!
Through its simplicity my code of laws!
had more effect than any civil codes
before it; the schools I have kept up,
my methods of instruction, are create
ing a new generation; crime decreased;
during my rule, whereas in England
crime has become more prevalent.
. .. I wanted to found a Kuropean
system, a European code of laws, a
European court of appeal ; there would
have been but one people throughout
Europe.”—From Emil Ludwig's “
poleon.”

Old Criticism of Dance
The dance craze was the object of |
almost as much criticism a century
ago as it is today. This was shown
by a book, yellowed with age, which
was found recently in the walls of an |
old mansion demolished in Medford,
Mass. Under the heading, “Dancing,”
the author, in 1831, wrote: “Nothing
shows the national character, or
thoughtlessness and gayety, more
plainly than a strong and general pro- !
pensity for dancing. A passion for |
this amusement affects persons in
every grade of life. It might be sup-
posed that those only would be dis-
posed to engage in it whose spirits are
continually elastic and buoyant, under
the cheering smiles of prosperity and
ease. But this is not the fact. The
thoughtless and gay will often do it
in order to suppress those movings of
conscience which would lead them te
a life of religion.”
Trade Mark Protection
The courts have said that a person
entering a field of endeavor already
occupied by another should, in the
selection of a trade name or trade
mark, keep far enough away to avoid
all possible confusion. Whether there
is an infringement of a trade mark
does not depend upon the use of iden-
tical words, nor on the question as fo
whether they are so similar that a |
person looking at one would be de- |
celved into the belief that it was the
other. The courts incline to hold that
infringement occurs if one adopis a
trade name or a trade mark so like
another in form, spelling or sound that
a person with a not very definite or |
clear recollection as to the real firade !
mark is likely to become confused or |
‘misled.
Donkey-Foot Mascot
Thieves of all kinds have the strong-
est belief in charms, In a Londen
police court a detective produced a
‘black pebble taken from the waistcoat
pocket of a man he had arrested, and
said that that kind of thing was a
¢harm for good luck. A burglar
caught in Camberwell said bitterly to
the officer who had arrested him: “It
serves me right. I came out without
ymy denkey foot.” His mascot was the
shod hoof of -a donkey, which he had
carried during the whole of his crimi-
‘nal career.
The -black-cat superstition is as
gowerful as ever, and a burglar will
‘actually ‘turn .away from a house if
he finds ‘a ‘black cat seated on the
~deorstep.
‘Prayed for @ Rest
Zhe story goes that several college
presidents were discussing what they
would do after they retired. What
wvould they be fit for was the ques-
tion.
‘Well,” said ene of them, “1 don’t
now that I'd be fit for anything, but
: know what I'd like ‘to .do. T'd like
+o be superintendent of am orphan
asylum so I'd never get any letters
‘from parents.”
“I've a much better ambitien” ex-
«laimed another. “I want to be
«warden of a penitentiary. The alumni
never come back to .visit.”—Harper’s
Magazine.

Mexican Smokes 100
Cigarettes Every Day
Kingston, N. C.—Thomas Al-
varez, a Texan of Mexican par-
entage, smokes 100 cigarettes a
day. His tobacco bill, since he
has taken to smoking ready-
made fags, runs from $1 to
$1.50 a day. Now he will re-
turn to the makings and cut
down the cost.
Alvarez, who came east on a
vessel from Galveston, a short
time ago, has been looking for a
job in this section. He is thir-
ty years old and has smoked
since he was a small boy. The
habit has not grown on him
since he reached the age of
twenty-one,
“TI have always smoked my
100, more or less,” he says.
“I had no idea I was using so
many until I quit the loose to-
bacco and rice papers for ready-
mades. I buy eight to ten small
packs a day now, twelve to the
box.”

$500 REWARD OFFERED FOR
PICTURE OF SEA SERPENT
Monster With Sheep’s Head Often
Seen in Okanogan Lake, Brit.
ish Columbia.
Okanogan, Wash.—With a standing
offer of $500 for a snapshot of the
strange creature noticed repeatedly in
Okanogan lake, across the line in
Canada, local residents and many ad-
venturers are living along the shores
watching daily for the expected ap-
pearance of Ogopogo, as Indians have
designated the monster.
The sea serpent report emanating
from the northern lake is not a fairy
tale, for affidavits of Jvell known peo-
ple are on file at Vernon, B. C., to
prove they observed Ogopogo, with its
sheeplike head and long, serpentine
body. From time to time there have
been stories of a strange denizen of
the lake, to which was attached a gen-
eral incredulity. Some folks said
i nothing for fear of ridicule, but others
having seen it compared notes found
to possess common points.
Of the numerous eyewitnesses of the
deep water creature J. L. Logie, a
resident along the lake for 20 years,
prepared a statement for a newspaper,
describing his observance of Ogopogo.
“On our way from Suminerland,
driving along the lake, we saw quite a
ripple and a swell ahead of us, close
to the shore, but the lake itself was
perfectly calm. Driving about 25
miles an hour, we soon came abreast
of the swell, when instantly a strange
looking animal appeared, exposing
about three feet of its body. The
head looked very much like that of a
sheep, but different from a seal, hav-
ing a pointed nose. The body was
dark, but no fins were above the
water.
“As it swam a foot high swell was
developed, showing the animal pos-
| sessed weight and power. Diving sud-
denly, it again came to the surface
30 yards farther out. Hearing our
voices, it then disappeared.
“In no story or picture have I ever
.ead or seen anything like this. I am
of the opinion there are several in the
lake. Apparently they are getting
more bold and expose themselves while
playing or fighting.”
Okanogan lake is 20 miles long and
( miles wide, and is said to be very
deep. There is room for large crea-
tures to live without exposing them-
selves to man except on rare occasions.
One photographer declares he will
stay the entire summer, that he may
be the first to record the inland sea
serpent.
Fails in Test to Enter
College, Runs Away
Wvew York.—Beatrice Scott ran away
from her home at Forest Hills inn,
Forest Hills, Queens, with a $10 gold
piece and a small bagful of clothes,
said her mother, Mrs. T. C. Hills, be-
cause she failed in her entrance ex-
aminations for Smith college. No word |
has been heard from her.
Beatrice, eighteen years old, was
graduated from Kew-Forest school
in June, and told all her friends
that she was going to Smith this fall. |
There was considerable commotion in
the family at the time, what with mov-
ing out of their home to Forest Hills
inn while the house was being redec
orated. Beatrice did not have much
time to study, and then her grand-
mother died. But she was confident
that she had passed the entrance tests
and spread the news that she was
zoing to Smith.
Word came that she had failed, and
Geatrice left home, wearing a black
suit and hat, a few clothes in a small
hag and the $10 gold piece, a gradua-
tion present, in her pocket.
Hairdressing Takes All
Day in Madagascar
fananaarive, Madagascar, — Bobs
and shingles are making little head-
way among the women of the Betsilea
rribe, famous for their elaborate
‘oiffures.
Having their crowning glory ar-
anged is their prineipal vocation, The
speration usually begins at 6 a. m,,
nd if the operator is skillful may
»e completed at 6 p. m.
But time is of little value here, ana
.he dusky hair dressers are contented
with a fee varying from four to ten
cents, according to the nature of the

Modern Youth Defended.
Modern youth was defended at the
convention of the International
Christian Endeavor societies at Cleve-
land a few days ago. It was declared
that the present day young people
are as responsive to high ideals as
those of any previous age.
While there are millions of young
people who are purposeful and gener-
ous, there seems to be a very large
number who manifest a reckless and
don’t care spirit. Perhaps there have
always been an equal number of such.
What many of them need is to learn
more self respect, and to find out that
if they cheapen themselves by reck-
less conduct, they stain the reputation
which is their principal capital.
Sewer Gas Will be Used by Town to
Heat Plant.
Antigo, Wis.—Inflammable gases
accumulating in the digester of the
new sewage disposal plant for this
city will be used to heat the building
at the plant and also to raise the tem-
perature of the sludge to the proper
point for treatment in the disposal
process. A meter cut-in on the gas
line leading from the digester showed
the flow to be about 200 cubic feet an
hour, enough to operate three ordi-
nary gas water heaters continuously.
—John Puls, of Valley View, last
week had George Rider, a neighbor,
arrested on the charge of poisoning
his dog and 47 chickens. At a hear-
ing before justice of the peace John
M. Keichline the fact was brought out
that Mr. Rider had distributed poison
in his cellar to kill rats and Puls
claimed that his dog and chickens got
into Mr. Rider’s cellar, ate of the
poison and died. Puls claimed $58
damages. After hearing all the evi-
