lived a little, fat round. fnn..,l r..li.
nan of comroriablo circumstances ami who
ollowcil law as an occupation, thoucli he
rarel nail a case, and rarely won one.
H was neat in his attire to an exactness
lh.it approached fopperv.
IIb had one ruling passion.
Ho Imagined Iiu leseinhleil the creat Na-
oleon. To imiko thu remark in his pres
nee thai you noticed In Ills features a re
ctnblar.co to that of this wonderful man
if destiny would ctr.ltla jou to a good din
ler. a good cigar.eliampaigneaml a m riad
filrv. uninleiestinc stories with neither
of nt nor ineilt.
So great hail this Idea of Napoleonic re
i-inblaiiee uriiwn In ills niluil tliat he even
had picture! of all kinds of th it great war-
lor placed around his room. Abovn the
bed, the Hie places and in every available
dace was the Immovable, quiet and
hoiiihlful face of France's greatest ruler:
uni beside eacli face was that of our friend
mil hem, Uonhomtne, who by the way we
forgot to introduce. He eyed bought uni
forms similar to the ones In tlio pictures of
lionaparte, and Inclined his head In the
aino manner to ma'e the resemblance
iiiore complete. He even at ono lime bor-
rimed a white liorso,froin his friend Lefre-
Ihe liver man. which ho mounted and
'tilth drawn swoid and hand pointed to-
Aaril the heavens, stood for three mortal
tours In order to allow tlio village sign
painter to make a picture, "which for all
he world," looked like David's great pic
iiyf Napoleon crossing the Alps. On
itfmher occalou he purchased a i;ray over
coat, am) hiring an artist, went to a ne'lgh-
lormg lilll, wiiere lie flood with his legs
I rail. tied out and hands behind lilm, rep
oetiling Napoleon at Wagram.
All the pictures were framed and dis
played In his visitors.
And lilt conversation. When not telling
i pointless story or a tale of warfare, went
something like this:
"I lake pi life In my resemblance, for you
know that the most learned physiologists
and bb slotjuoinists say that a man who
eseinhles a great man In person to an ex
treme, panakes of his qualities. Now, I
im very warlike In mv nature, just like
Napoleon." And b the wa : though
ailed colonel, he had never witnessed the
heildln of blood lie had never seen a
heep slaughtered, much less the destruc
ionofn human being; on a bat tlo field
"I feel that, llku him. I could conqueor na-
Ions with a handful of men."
Hu would become excited, his veins
well and lie would grasp 'rom a must
jase in tho wall, an undent sword and
.lasli around willi such fury aud vehe
nencH that his visitor would form the
ipinlon tint no man unearth equalled In
mirage, the bravery of our hero, lion
iimmie. Now we must tell you that our Napo
eonli: hero loved a village lass; ono with
"ant if ul hair and rapturous eyes tli.it the
i hole village loyed of course, named Marin
'larlu. Hu told her as lie did his Intimate
i lends, that he thirsted for war for g or)
-for fame. that he might place her alont
illli hlm.elf on tlio throne, with the rich
-color and lleur-ile-lis triumphantly aboe
iliein. I.el me tell jou ar;aln that this
ume rapturous -e)ed maiden was not im
ressed with Ibe uumeious charms of our
eio, and although advised by her father,
i schi red veteran of olden wars, to marr
iloiihomuie, she persistently refused. Tin
ruih was .he loved a curluy headed, mis
hli'voiis fellow, named Maui ice Itockfon,
i Hutu ever) body said would come to a ban
'ml. Maurice was no hero. Ho did not
veil resemble Judas Iscariot, bin ho wa
lnut honest than Judas, aud he loved Un
fair Marie.
"What! War! War, did you say?" was
chooj through the little town of Morge.
ov biirr)lng aud excited people.
War!
The guns of Germany were leveled at
fiance, and In return the war drums
blobbed and vibrated, battle flags were
unfurled and the nation caught Its breath

Morges is now surrounded by the troops

Can they hold tho Germans for two days

WHY 1000 W1XI. NOT UE A MJAr YUAR,
The following explanation Is given why
the year 1IJ00 will not bo counted amon
leap years. The vear Is B05 days 5 hours
nnd 40 minutes ong; 11 minutes are taken
every year lo make tho year 305V days leng,
and every fouilli year we have an extra
ay. This was Julius Cajsar's arrange
ment. Where do these 11 minutes come
from? They come from tlio future, and are
paid by omitting leap year every 100 years.
uut If leap year Is omitted regularly every
hundredth )ear, in the course of 400)ears
it Is fqund that the 11 minutes taken each
year will not only have been paid back, but
hat a whole year will have been given up.
tio Popo Gregory XIII, who Improved on
Canar's calendar In 1582, decreed that every
enlurlal year divisible by four should be a
leap year aficr all. So we .borrow 11 min
utes each year morn than paying our bor
rowings back 6y omitting three leap years
In three cenlurlal years, and square mat
ters by having a leap year In tbe fourth
cenlurlal year. Pope Gregory's arrange
ment is so exact, and the borrowing and
paving back .balance so closely, that we
borrow moru than wo pay back to tho ex
tent of only one day in 8800 years. London

RUDENESS IN SPEECH.
Some pride themselves upon saving rude
things, Thev fancy they havo done a smart
thing when they havo given a coarse rebuff.
We have known some christian men to be
very unchristian In this particular. All
such ought to ponder this remark, made by
one of the greatest ot great men: "Sir, a
man has no more right to say an uncivil
thing than to act one no more right to sa
a rude thing to another than to knock him
down."

A good English divine, going tj show

he could gather around his ample board at
