FIRST CARICATURE OF CONEY
It Was Produced When Napoleon Was
Yet at the Military Academy at
Brienne.
Napoleon In caricature is one of tho
most prolific of subjects. Indeed Hit
ropean political caricature from 1798
until 1816 may be said to have beeni
Napoleon. Although In Prance this)
form of plctoral art was rigidly sup-*
pressed, Gilray and Rowlandson In,
Lnglaud and a score of nrtists In Get'*
many and Austria were depleting tho
great emperor as the most Infamous
of monsters.
Tho first known caricature of Bona-i
parte was drawn years before the
first consulate, when the Bourbons
still sat upon the throne of Prance.
It Is reproduced in Norwood Young's
"Tlie Growth of Napoleon." Young
Bonaparte's years at tho military acad
emy at Brienne were not happy ones.
Ho was a Corsican, and at that time
Corsica was a recently conquered
province.
The cartoon, which was drawn by a
schoolmate, represents the future em
peror standing, g severe and determini
ed look upon his face, with both
hands on the top of a musket, resting
the butt on the ground. A smaller
figure behind him, an old inan whoso
nose nearly reaches his chin, is pull
ing him back by bis wig.
Napoleon’s feet face In two direc
tions -one forward, the other back
ward. Underneath is written: "Bona
parte rushes to the aid of Paoll to
rescue him from the hand of bis ene
mies." These words have been struck
through with a pen, which lias also
been drawn across (he face of Napo
leon.—The Bookman.
NAPOLEON III. AT SEDAN
Zola's Story That He Rouged His
Cheeks Before the Battle Is
Absolutely Denied.
Th\ author of "Tho Empress Euge
nio, 1870-1910," writes: In Miscellany
(April 10) you refer to "the story that)
Napoleon 111., pale and haggard with
illness, rouged Ills cheeks before the
battle of Sedan, to make a fine and
encouraging appearance hi fore tho
troops," and Zola's description of the
emperor on that fatal day is cited
from the powerful “Debacle” In sup
port of the "story.” Allow me to say
that, if tho evidence of some who
were with the emperor on the day of
the battle Is deemed worthy of con
sideration (and personally I have no
doubt about It), Zola was entirely
wrong. By his own account, ho com
posed his marvelous narrative from
hearsay. He had not the advantage,
as 1 had, of being on the battlefield
(with the Germans) from early morn
lug until nightfall.
Some fife years ago the question
“Was the emperor's face rouged at the
battle of Sedan?” was very fully dis
cussed in the Paris papers, and the
late Paul de Cassagnac and the still
living Robert Mitchell (who were with
the emperor during the fighting) were
among other eye-witnesses who gave
nil absolute denial to Zola’s assertion.
Others testify to the samo effect.
Princess Mntliilde, the emperor's
cousin, scouted the Idea that Napoleon
was rouged, although as she was not
at Sedan her evidence Is not of much
account. On other points I can per
sonally confirm Zola’s picture of the
horrors of the battlefield of the first of
September, 1870.
What He Needed.
Upon the floor lay the glittering sov
ereign. The shopman was busy at the
counter. No one else was by.
Quivering with exettement, Jimmy
Slant dropped his glove upon the
spot and then casually stooped to
gather up Ills fallen gauntlet. But his
hand was trembling so violently that
he fumbled, missed the coin and rose
with the glove alone clasped in his
digits.
Flo dropped his glove again. He
stooped again. Ilu failed again.
As he was about to make hiB third
effort to pick up the elusive gold
piece the voice of the shopman
sounded above him.
"May I sell you a bottle of this,
sir?"
"Er—what Is it?” Inquired Slant,
with Ills eye upon his glove.
"Liquid glue, sir,” replied the shop
man, blandly. "It sticks."
The Pancake.
The pancake Is a distinctly Ameri
can Institution. It Is eaten only In
secret In our best families.
It would bo eaten openly and above
board were It not that folk of the up
per circles have to maintain their dig
nity before the servants.
l’roperly made, the pancake is a
thing of beauty and a joy for the time
being.
Improperly made, ns it usually Is, It
Is a blight upon life and a harass
ment to the stomach. A wrongly pre->
pared pancake can stay with you
longer than the after effects of pneu
monia.
If o«r girls were taught how to
make pancakes civilization would go
forward so rapidly that those who are
now trying to reform our social struc
ture would tie back numbers by day
after tomorrow.
