At the commencement of his career
Che great Napoleon fell in with an ardent
revolutionist, M. Paul Francois Barras,
who took a great liking to the young
Corsican, and conceived tho highest
opinion of his abilities and of tho powers
which, events proved, he jwssessed in so
tetnarkahle a degree. Hut in the opinion
ot Barras, napoleon's want of means
vras a most serious obstacle to his chanco
of achieving fame, and lie proposes to
remedy this by selecting for him a rich
wife. Now, whether it was that he did
not number among his acquaintances
many women with tho requisite dot, or
whether he thought that his portcgo's
Cerv youth would be better for the re
straining influence which a wife of some
xperience in the ways of the world
would no doubt be ablo to exert, Harras
chose for this position a woman who,
'though still undeniably handsome, was
io longer young.
Though she was called Mile. Montan
ier, she was in reality a widow, who,
because she had been on the stage, had
aiever adopted the numo of her husband.
She was 00 years of ago, but it was said
that she made herself appear to be not
more than 40 by the intimate knowl
edge that she Kssensed of the secrets of
the toilet table.
DIPLOMACY OK IlARItAS.
Barras made up his mind that it was
imperative to tho success of Napoleon's
career that he should make this elderly
lady his wife, and accordingly he set
Oiimself to work to bring about tho
'match by impressing upon each of them
the advantages that would result from
it. To Napoleon he dilated upon tho
(power that would follow tho acquisition
of the wealth which Mile. Montausier
could give him; to the lady he enlarged
on the position that l)is talented young
friend was bound to make for himself,
'and that would, of course, bo shared by
ins wife.
Jcor the purpose of introducing tho
couple to each other, ho decided
upon giving a supper, to which they
.were both invited. Ilo so arranged
vnatcrB that they were placed together
at the table, and hoped that this p recall
tion, added to the injunctions which lie
li;ul given to Napoleon to behavo for
once in his life with some show of civil
City to a lady, would have the happiest re
wilt. Jim in this he was fated to be dis
appointed. Napoleon was quite tho last
man to rely upon in such a respect. His
manners toward tho fair sex were those
'ot acostermonger, and though he could
generally hold his own in a conversation
with men, lie was entirely without tlio
knack of making himself interesting or
agreeable to women. lie felt that his
place was in the camp or tho Held, and
Jie was ijuiln out of his element among
vuie'Wnventionalities of a salon.
Tlad lie been Inclined to woo, it would
Jiave been in a straight forward, soldier
. tike fashion, not with the dallyings and
compliments so dear to the I-rciich woman
of his time. So, presently, Harras had
the niortiileation ol seeing Mile. Montan
tf.ie r, her buck turned to Napoleon, en
jgagiug in a lively conversation witli tho
KiJeman on the oth.r side, while tho
,futuro conqueror was ..uking, with little
rptftlcN of bread, a pl.m of battle on tho
ilable'befoie him. Hardly a word passed
'between the two during tho remainder
lt I ho uieal. Harras watched with grow
ing annoyance the indifference of Nil
rpoleou, and felt his plans melting into
thin air as he saw the evident delight
with which the widow turned from him
'to tho more entertaining companion sho
Jiad found elsewhere.
Supior over, iiarras drew Napoleon
aside mid spoko forcibly to him of tho
foolish way in which ho was throwing
away his chances. "You know," said
'he, "that money is everything to you;
fteroare 1,000,000 francs, and you will
not stretch out your hand to take them;
a moat attractive woman, and you will
taot show her the smallest gallantry,
illle. Montausier has come hero this
evening prepared to hear a declaration
?rom you. ijtrlkc while tho iron is iiot,
and win the wealth that you cannot do
-without at one bold stroke."
"Tho woman is old enough to be my
grandmother," said Napoleon, who wua
then 23 years old; "but that is no mut
ter, for to me all Women are alike,
ilouey is what 1 want; and, if I cannot
g;ct it without a wife, 1 must take tho
swo together. 1 am no coiner of pretty
apeeches, but before the evening is over
I will say to her; 'Mademoiselle, are
you willing to accept me as your litis
(bandr More than thut 1 cannot do,"
The very kind of proosal that any
woman would expect from a blunt 6ol
ilier," replied Harras. "Say that, und 1
desire no more. Vou are to bo envied;
tor, beside her wealth, mademoiselle is
very handsome still,"
THK KOIUCSTAI.I.KD IMtOPOSAL.
Napoleon turned away with a gesture
of impatience; but half an hour later
ilirras noticed, to his joy, that the two
were alono together in a recess. Presently
Napoleon got up and went away, and
the lady beckoned to Harraa with her
fan. "Take away that dreadful littlo
man," sho said with a shudder; "ho has
bored mo to death, and 1 only prevented
him from proposing by bending him for
a glass of lemonade."
"Hut why provent hiiii'i" mid Harras.

'That old actress," Raid Nni)oleon,"that

opened my mouth to iihk 'her hand. I was
on the point of speaking, as I told vou I
B10,i 8pt'ak, when alio Iwgaii to inform
me that her wealth was the cause of her
constantly receiving oifeis from adveii
turers who cared nothing for herself; that
she thanked Providence she had so far
been through some fellows, and that she
was relved to keep her indeiH.'ndcnce,
I was glad I had not spoken, for it gave
tne the opportunity of saying: 'Made
rnoiscllo. pray persevere in that praise
worthy intention: it is one which I am
sure no one will ever try to persuadoyou
to alter.' Let he: keep her millions to
bait the hook for some one else: I have
done with her.
And in spite of Harms' endeavors the
affair ended there.

fond of boasting that, had hi iu chosen, she
might have been empress of I-ranco and
wife of tiie most famous man of the age,
Gould she have leen gifted with the fac

whom M. Harras wished her to marry.
Chambers' Journal.
At the C.ai Office Window.
"Anything now this year for tho poo
plo in the way of gas meters?" asked i
sulxiued looking citizen at ono of the
windows of the gas oflico on Dearborn
and Lake streets.
The man on tho Inside, whoso long at
tention to duty at that post has made
him look haughty, triod to thaw out in
front of the inquiry.
"You may say," ho replied, as if lie
wero conferring a favor, "that our gas
meters will run this year as uwial
which is Ut say, all right. And let me
say another thing. There has been a
good deal of complaint in the year gone,
at this very window, nnd to this very
person now speaking, sir, that wo have
rendered bills to people for gas who
were out of town and who had not
lighted a burner in six weeks. They
navo come to us and exclaimed wltn air
of triumph, sir, that they had us at last.
A sort of ah-lia business, you know, like
the villain in the first act of the play."
Then the man at the window paused,
took a fresh grip on Ids breath and re
sumed:
"You may say to these deluded peo
ple that a certain amount of gas is
forced through the meter, any way, and
if it isn't burned it will leak, and tho
register marks it up just as if it were
burned. So you hee that tho gas com
pany is not a robber after all. Tell that
to tho people."
Tho man without gave a longing look
and gasped: "Then there is no hope?"
"You can take out the meter," said
tho wretch inside, as he resumed his
work of compounding. Chicago Trib

Hut very few people who wear Cordo
van shoes have an' idea whero the
leather bearing that name comes from,
hence the question is often asked, "What
is Cordovan?"
"Cordovan," tho naino by which
leather made from the hides of horses is
now known, was first finished in Ham
burg, Germany, under the naino of Ross
leather.
In combination with it tho liitlo has
four layers of muscular skins which,
with tho "shell," give to the horso the
great and tremendous pulling power Unit
makes the animal so serviceable to man
kind. This "shell," .if properly tanned
and shaven clean of its sinewy matter
a most dilllctilt task makes tho best
wearing leather in existence, ami proves
tho theory of old limo shoemakers that
only leather of a long liber will wear-
to be a mistaken one, as tho "shell has
no liber.
In this it lias a decided advautageover
calfskin with its fibers; the breaking of
anyogo throws additional strain iioii tho
other, and a break in tho leather soon fol
lows.
KxH'rlenco has demonstrated that tho
"shell" will wear two or three times long
er than calfskin.
Cordovan possesses another great ad
vantage in being tho nearest waterproof
of any leather made. Tho Ihienftu of
texture also permits its taking a very
high polish. St. Louis Hepublic.

THREE STREETS.
I sought tho new, unknown to meet.
And found a gay anil favored street
Whero fashion walked with flitting fccU
And as I watched, u golden clenin
I'lerccd swiftly through tho summer air
And darted o'er tho human stream;
Then nestled 'midst wimc dusky hair.
I Kami upon tho hnlr's dark grace,
Tho tender framo to woman's face
That pictured all Its charms so sweet.
Then as I looked t met her cjes,
Deep as tho hlue of southern skies,
And from them glanced a hahy smile
My own xmr treasuro to hoRtiilc;
Through every vein, throughout my frame
There swept a dry, an ardent flame,
Love'n pasulonl
Twas In the time of Love's defeat,
I wandered through n busy street,
And paced to whero four crossways meet:
And as I gazed, tliu thronging crowd
Pressed onward, without reck or hctd.
With hasty feet, too anxious browed
To cost a glaneo ujion my need.
Tho chill neglect, tho hitlng blast
That o'er my heart as Ice wind passed,
And turned to bitter all tho sweet,
Ilrought fwiin Its frozen realms a gift,
Tholovoor self, a careful thrift
To guard Its treasure and to guide
Tho current of Its burning tldo
Through every vein, through every pore.
An angry summons at my door!
Ambition!
I wandered for a dim retreat,
I found a quiet moss grown street,
And trod Its length with tired feet;
And as I paxned, a door 111 kept
And battered with the strlfoof years
( Unclosed, and forth a llguro stepped
And met mo with a face of tears.
A figure that had beauty's mien,
A face that In a mood serene,
Unmarred by grief, had been more sweet
Than aught that patntnr'ti art had traced.
Or chiseled marble coldly graced.
And as 1 gazed witli anxious wiU
There camo a glow, a silent thrift
Th'rough every vein, through every part,
The swift borno mcssago to my heart,

While talking with James Miller, who
has been a floor walker in one of New
York's big emporiums, but has set up n
store in a neighboring town for himself,
ho said to me: "The newspaper which
will take up tho cause of the immature
children who aro engaged as cash girls
in tho large stores of Now York will be
doing a great work for humanity. I have
no means of knowing how many cash
girls there aro in Now York, but I should
say about 20,000. Fully one-half of them
aro under fourteen years of age, and
many oven under twelve. They aro not
governed by tho factory laws of 'the
states which prohibit tho employment of
children below certain ages in factory
work, and they aro subjected to drudgery
that is sometimes terrible.
'If I was obliged to make a choice for
my own children of such ages, between
factory and onti of the big stores, 1
should chooso the factory, whero their
labor would bo of such character aa to
keep thein busy all tho time. In the
stores they have idle moments, when

NTHfcPIPIr
Leading medical authorities
state that new and improperly
cured tobacco when heated in
the pipe produces a rank vege
table poison.
Tobacco like liquor can only be frnproircf by age.
This is the reason why "Seal
of North Carolina" is the most
populaar brand of smoking to
bacco in the United States. It
is made from tobacco, at least
three years old. Its rich mel
low smoke has never been
equaled. v
Seal o( North Carolina Is now packed In Patent
Cloth Pouches, as well as In foil.
