NAPOLEONS VIOLETS
How tho Imperialistic Emblem Came
to Bo Adopted
An old French pamphlet published In
1815 tells how the violet came to be the
emblem of the Imperialist or Napole
onic party In France
Three days before going Into exile on
the Island of Elba Napoleon was walk
ing up and down a garden at Fontaine
bleu discussing his future with the
Due do Bassano and General Bertrand
He was still uncertain whether he
should go to Elba quietly at the bid
ding of his enemies or whether he
should try to offer some resistance
The Due de Bassano was urging him to
strike a blow for his liberty bad ad
vice surely
As the trio walked back and forth
they came upon a child three or four
years old who was picking vlorets
Napoleon called the baby to him and
asked for his flowers and the little
tiling gave the emperor all he had A
silence in the political talk followed
until Napoeon who always had a vein
of superstition in his reasonings said
Well gentlemen I am thinking of
that child That chance meeting seems
to me like a piece of secret advice
warning me for the future to Imitate
the modesty of tills flower Yes the
violet shall henceforward be the em
blem of my desires
Sire said Bertrand boldly for
your majestys glory I like to think
that feeling will last no longer In you
than the flowers that inspired it
But the emperor silent and unheed
ing now withdrew and went to his
private rooms The next day he was
seen walking in the garden with a
bunch of violets in his buttonhole and
stooping now and again to pluck more
A man named Choudieu a grenadier
of the guard was on sentry duty and
taking advantage of the laxity of dis
cipline that prevailed in this hour of
ruin he ventured to speak to the fallen
sovereign
In another year sire the violets
will be growing thicker here You can
gather them with less trouble
What was the answer Do you
suppose I will be here next year
Perhaps sooner We soldiers hope
so
But do you know that I leave for
Elba day after tomorrow
Your majesty will suffer the storm
to pass
Are your comrades talking and feel
ing as you do
Almost all of them
Ah well tell them to feel but not
to talk When your sentry duty is
over go to General Bertrand He will
give you twenty napoleons But keep
the secret
Choudieu did not keep entirely secret
the story of his conference with his
majesty but he threw a veil over his
allusions and taught the other soldiers
to do so by calling their great and
worshiped leader Father Violet Little
by little talk about Father Violet
reached the public and to wear a
bunch of violets by the time the next
season came around was a recognized
sign of imperialistic sympathies To
this day violets are not worn in the
same general way in France that they
are here and in England because they
are felt to be a political badge A le
gitimist would not be seen with a
bunch in his buttonhole any more than
he would wear a republican tricolor
cockade
Force of Habit
A Bos Ion psychologist was recently
reminded of the story of the Russian
jailer who changing his occupation
found the chief interest of his leisure
moments In catching birds putting
them in cages and selling them to the
highest bidder
The scientist having to attend a
series of lectures in a large public hall
struck up acquaintance with the jani
tor of the building and soon noted in
him a suggestive bent of mind The
man seemed fond of counting the peo
ple and would occasionally report the
exact number present We have 115
here tonight he would say or Just
201 all told or when the hall was
crowded I make it 370 There was a
problem in all this but it took some
time for the psychologist to solve it
A bit of friendly familiar talk con
tinually renewed did the business for
It brought out the fact that the janitor
had spent many of the previous years
of his life as warden in an eastern
prison ltn rifle on snoulder from
some inclosing wall the man had count
ed his convicts until the habit became
Ingrained In the recesses of his brain
the lecture hall took the shape of a
jail yard and the audience were his
prisoners He counted because he
wished to know if all were there Bos

The City of the Three Rivers
The city is generally considered to
be very fortunate that possesses a
river but Khartum croons and
watches over three of the greatest
rivers of the world From the trouble
some magic of the and its
sudd grass from the hot confines of
the equator the White Nile fetches its
milky waters from the azure moun
tains of Abyssinia and through the
heat of that savage country the Nile
flows to Sudan Created in this fash
ion and seeming to have rushed down
south rather than it does run north
ward the Egyptian Nile is formed and
in return touches the city only to take
Its course again to the sea Khartum
is built above this concourse of waters
but the windy currents have less in
terest for her than has the melancholy
waste whose historic miles make the
Sudan famous for both defeat and vic
tory The desert has already fetched
famine and destruction and if not
quite so practically swarming now the
wilderness Is nevertheless always sin
ister and it Is over this savage coun
try that Khartum must keep vigilant

MODEL ROCK ROAD
First Strip Constructed In Wisconsin
Under Direction of U S Engineers
There has recently been completed
m Rock county Wis the first strip of
road built under the supervision of
United States engineers since Wiscon
sin emerged from a territory Into the
dignity of statehood says a Jauesville
Wis correspondent of the Milwaukee
Sentinel Incidentally it Is the first
model road to be constructed in Wis
consin on rural roads with proper ma
chinery on rules laid down by the
government This strip of road is
three quarters of a mile in length and
lies a half mile east of Clinton in the
township of that name
When the county board met last
spring the towns of Clinton Plymouth
Center Fulton Bradford Beloit and
Milton all appropriated sums ranging
from 400 to 1000 for the construc
tion of good roads According to the
state law the county board was of ne
cessity forced to appropriate from
county funds an equal sum for each
town equal to their appropriation
Just at this time Samuel C Lancas
ter of the bureau of good roads at
Washington spoke before the state
legislature and Mr Hotchkiss secre
tary of the state good roads move
ment prevailed upon him to visit Bock
county as the only county in the state
which had appropriations for the pur
pose Ills visit resulted in the good
roads bureau at Washington being pre
vailed upon to send a complete set of
road building machinery and engineers
to construct three quarters of a mile
of model road as an example for the
rest of the county to follow
While the cost of the road ran over
the 2000 appropriated this was due
to high prices of material and long
hauls and can be easily overcome in
future roads
The road is built with a twelve foot
crown or macadam center The rock
bed is eight inches deep the stone be
ing crushed from a thickness of four
teen to eight inches The regular mac
adam process was used A layer of
coarse rock four inches thick was first
laid then a layer of thinner rock plac
ed in the cracks and rolled down
MAKING OBJECT LESSON ROAD IN WIS
CONSIN
oughly these latter being stones that
would pass through a one and a half
inch space and were laid three inches
deep A surface dressing of screen
ings one inch thick was then laid and
the whole watered and rolled hard and
firm The crown or surface of the
road has a curvature of three fourths
of an inch to the foot giving good
drainage
The question of drainage for the
road was carefully looked to Side
ditches and culverts were placed where
water was liable to do serious dam
age by washing and attention was
paid to the formation of the land
through which the road runs
The government outfit used consist
ed of a portable stone crusher a re
volving sieve which separates the
rock after being crushed bins a steam
roller a sprinkler wagon scrapers and
dumping wagons The type of wag
ons used has an adjustable box allow
ing the rear end to be tilted down
close to the ground so that an even
distribution of the crushed stone is ob
tained
MILITARY ROAD FOR KANSAS
First Steps Taken For a One Hundred
and Twenty Mile Pike
Representative D R Anthony who
recently returned to Kansas from the
east while in Washington talked over
plans for the building of
the proposed military road between
Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley
says the Kansas City Times At his
request a road engineer of the public
roads bureau is to be sent on to make
an investigation and prepare detailed
plans of the road The engineer is to
report in time for action by congress
the coming winter
The prospects for the government
favoring the building of the proposed
military highway between Fort Leav
enworth and Fort Riley are very
bright said Mr Anthony The di
rector of public roads which is the
bureau connected with the department
of agriculture assures me that the
plan to build this 120 mile highway
connecting the greatest army posts in
the country is heartily favored They
believe the construction of this road
would be a great object lesson to the
agricultural west in the building of
modern highways which mean so
much in the Avay of affording an ac
cessible medium for the farmer in
hauling his crops to market
An Arkansas Reformer
Will Burns is not a preacher yet he
has caused fifty men to quit swearing
or using profane language along our
public roads and here Is the secret
says the Hardy Herald Mr Burns so
successfully worked seven miles of
our public road he converted the tie
haulers There is not a rock stump
chuck hole or crook in the seven miles
of road and profane language Is a
thing of the past
PAYING COMPLIMENTS
A Couple of Historical Examples In
the Polite Art
All people enjoy being complimented
though many saj they do not But this
denial come either of affectation shy
ness or ow self consciousness There
is uo conceivable subject on which peo
ple do not take pleasure In a well
turned compliment They like one on
their good looks their wit or grace the
books they have written their touch
on the piano the puddings or pies they
make their babies their sermons their
everything from the heavens above to
tho earth beneath and the waters that
be under the earth
Now there is an especial art of com
plimenting that needs to be studied and
mastered quite as much as the art of
music or poetry or oratory Compli
ments should never be fulsome never
troweled on never open to a suspicion
of a private ax to grind In the way of
currying favor They should be purely
objective In the sense of having no
other end in view than that of impart
ing pleasure encouragement and the
recognition of cordial good will Still
If only humorously couched there may
be plenty of badinage and exuberant
Imaginative exaggeration in them car
ried off with a laughter and play of
sportive fancy that will relieve them
from being oppressive And yet al
ways must they have a basis of sin
cerity and genuine human love
To study the art of complimenting
one needs only to familiarize himself
with recorded instances of those who
have been past masters in the way of
doing it both sincerely and delightful
ly When for example Turgot that
noblest of French statesmen and lover
of humanity came to Paris to greet
Voltaire he was so plteously afflicted
with gout in both legs as scarcely to
be able to move As I look on M
Turgot said Voltaire I think I see
the statue of Nebuchadnezzar Yes
said Turgot the feet of clay And
the head of gold the head of gold
replied Voltaire Were ever gout de
crepitude and the glory of human vir
tue so deliciously and magnlloquently
Intermingled as In this Imagery from
tho book of Daniel of the colossal
statue of the four Assyrian dynasties
its feet of clay Its thighs of brass Its
breast of silver and its head of fine
gold
One more example When Sir Joshua
Reynolds was painting the portrait of
Mrs Billington an entrancing singer
in her day in the character of St Ce
cilia listening to the celestial music on
high she took with her the great com
poser Haydn and showed him the pic
ture It is like said Haydn but
there is a strange mistake What is
It hastily asked Reynolds You
have painted her listening to the an
gels You ought to have painted the
angels listening to her Mrs Billing
ton sprang up and threw her arms
around my neck added Haydn What
woman with a soul in her would not
and have clinched it with a hearty
hug Boston Herald
Nefarious Scoundrels
No modern advertising column is
likely to contain an advertisement as
vigorous in its language as one pub
lished in an old Newburyport Herald
of a century ago threatening with
public exposure no mention is made
of prosecution if he should repeat his
raids the nefarious scoundrel void of
either manners or breeding who had
stolen apples from a certain orchard
Whether or not the remainder of the
crop was spared it is impossible not
to feel that the satisfaction of seeing
nefarious scoundrel in good black
print must have proved eminently
soothing to the spirit of the peppery
old gentleman who penned the adver
tisement
The disproportion between the lan
guage and the offense reminds one of
that trial in another old colonial town
at which a pompous judge had dis
coursed so eloquently on the offended
majesty of the law and the wickedness
of lawbreakers in removal that the
plaintiff who was simple m in Jed be
gan to fear the ppeeal larceny in ques
tion would lo lort rigV
