Napoleon's First Love.
The little French town of Auxonne
is not associated in the popular mind
with Napoleon; but, as Miss Bethaxn-
Edwards reminds us in "Unfrequented
France," he spent some years of his ]
cadetship there. "In- the Saone he
j twice narrowly escaped drowning, and
j here, too, as narrowly, so the story
runs, marriage with a bourgeoise maid- 1
' en called Manesca. Two ivory counters j
bearing this romantic name in Napo- j
leon's handwriting enrich the little mu

What He Advised.
A young man unhappily married and
practically penniless took his tale of
woe to a prominent divorce attorney
In Chicago and concluded with this:
"I'm too poor to pay much for a di
vorce, but my wife makes my life mis
erable. After I get home at 0 o'clock
in the evening I get no peace until I
go to sleep. What would you advise?"
"After considering all the facts in
your case," said the lawyer, "I would
j suggest that you get a job which re
quires you to work all night."—Ex

i Facts Versus I
Fallacies |
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appdt*
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument*
IN an article in Leslie's the following FACTS are pertinent, -
showing not only the FALLACY of Prohibition, but the big a
part which the taxation of alcoholic liquors plays in running jJf
the United States Government. '
"\Y/ E must avoid intemperance in eating, drinking, language, \ fa
W work, and recreation," is an old doctrine of one of the J
leading national organizations of farmers. The idea of kjjyMv
total abstinence is not advanced by that society, but it does in- Vf/if
sist that members must be temperate not only in drinking but M (
in all other things Vy||fV rt ' \

from alcoholic beverages, was 5230,147,000. 1 :c revenue derived
from liquors and tobacco amounted to 48.68 per cent, of total fll

THUS, not only is shown that Prohibition has always failed ?. lj 00J1 dlld I
to Prohibit, and is a FALLACY; but the added FACT is > 4i\ Villi t'
shown that should National Prohibition obtain, the United J-1 Ij £
States Government would lose the enormous sum which annually j
comes to it through taxation of alcoholic beverages, and
which, in conjunction with tobacco, provides almost one-half V*sf! B
of the Government's total revenue! '
