F. P. MILLER WM. G. SCHREINER. Auctioneer. We call (he attention of the American Bankers Association to the case of Mr. Washkowsky of Brooklyn. Mr. Washkowsky is hard working and thrifty, but like so many of us his •ducation is defective; who is to blame for that we don't know. Mr. Washkowsky has been saving a part of his weekly wages for a long time, but hadn't told Mrs. Washkowsky where he was depositing his nest egg. That was a mistake, probably, but an Inquiry into it belongs to another branch of education with which it is probable the bankers association cannot be held to have any concern. But with Mr. WaBhkowsky*s depository it hasr- He chose for that purpose an old shoe. He kept the shoe and its mate in his closet, and up to the other day had tucked away in one of them savings amounting to $350. On that same other day Mrs. Washkowsky, rummaging Mr. Washkowsky's closet like a good house, wife, seeking what she could throw away or transfer to another place where Mr. Washkowsky couldn't find it, as is the habit of good housewives, found this same pair of old shoes. We suppose she said to herself, Mr. Washkowsky not being present to have it said to him, "Isn't that Just like a| man?" and acting thereupon just like j a woman she sent the shoes to the cobbler to be repaired. It was either that or the ash barrel for them, and being frugal and Mr. Washkowsky paying the cobbler bills anyway, she sent them to the cobbler. A distraught man was Mr. Washkowsky when he next went to make a deposit in his old shoe. "What new ^lace," he asked in that martyr tone affected by husbands on similar occasions, "have you found for my old shoes?" Mrs. Washkowsky told him, expecting to be praised for her thoughtfulness. Women--but that's another branch of education. Mr. Washkowsky went to the cobbler and found his shoes, but not the money, which we cannot but feel is not remarkable. We hope he will find it, but he hasn't yet, which again should cause no astonishment But what we would like to hear -from the American Bankers Association is what stepB it is taking to discourage people of magpie habits from keeping their money in stoves, shoes, mantle clocks, behind wall pictures under floor boards and similar places. We have made no exact calculation, but from casual evidence we are inclined to believe there are enough funds hidden away in such places in this enlightened and progressive country to pay off the national debt. Not that we advise paying it off, because that weuld leave congress nothing to fuss with Mr. Mellon about; but if deposited In banks our banker might have so«e to lend when we need it, which he mom never has; he says money to vergr scarce. We hold it Is not; it Is Mentor In Mr. Washkowsky's shoe. Seeing that we have been pursuing education, or something called that, for several centuries, we cannot but feel this is a bad showing and that the bankers association Is somehow responsible. It hasn't sufficiently Un* pressed on the people that it Juts banks and what they are Cor. (Mr. Washkowsky hasn't heard. And there are a lot of him in this country -- Kansas City Star.

Napoleon Bonapartm A (Part I) LEAN, shy, underslsed youth of twenty-live hung about Paris in 1794, looking for employment. He was a fairly good writer and had at one time planned a literary career; but in this field he had failed and had, therefore, returned to military life. He had served with distinction in the army of the new French republic, but the convention could find no further use for his services. He was miserably pftor, chafing at inaction and without prospects. Within ten years he was destined^ to be emperor of France and the most powerful and famous man on earth. The lonely, unemployed youth was Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the thirteen children of an Italian lawyer living in Corsica. At the age of ten young Bonaparte had been sent to a military school, where his poverty, Bhyness and ignorance of French (a language he never learned to speak without accent) made him unpopular and laughed at by his schoolmates. Many of these same schoolmates were one day to be the fawning, cringing servants of the lad they now despised. When he was sixteen Bonaparte was commissioned a lieutenant of artillery and at twenty-one was a captain. The army was divided between allegiance to King Louis XVI and the new revolutionary party. Bonaparte sided with the latter. When he noted the cowardice with which Louis yielded to the mob, he muttered: "It is all up with him 1 A few charges of grape would scatter that pack of curs." He stored the lesson In his memory and later put it to use. In September, 1793, as lieutenantcolonel of artillery, It was his strategic skill that won Toulon from England. For this he was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general--and allowed to wander Idly and hungrily about Paris looking for work! He is even said, at this time, to have planned to offer his services to the sultan of Turkey. But at the ebb of his fortune a sudden turn came. In October, 1795, the people of Paris rose against the convention. Thirty thousand strong they marched on the Tullerles. Barras, president of the convention, appointed Bonaparte to command the 5,000 troops at that body's disposal. Bonaparte turned his artillery Into the advancing mob of guardsmen, townsfolk and riffraff and sent them flying. In reward he was placed In command of the Army of the Interior. His career had begun. He married, March 9, 1796, Josephine Beauharnais, a rather elderly Creole widow from Martinique. She did not love Bonaparte, but married him because Barras told her the youth had a future. She was notoriously unfaithful to this new husband of hers, and repaid his ardent devotion with mere tolerance. Almost directly after -the marriage * the young bridegroom was sent to take charge of France's Italian army, which had been dragging on an indecisive wdrikn against Austria and Sardinia, 'tie had a ragged, unpaid host of 40,000. The allied Austrlans and Sardinians were far stronger; yet Inside of five days Bonaparte had whipped them together and separately, and within a month had won,all northern Italy for France. He ended the campaign by forcing Austria to cede {errltory and indemnity. Breaking every old tradition and established rule of warfare, exercising wondrous ingenuity, swiftness and audacity, the Corslcan had completely dazed and outwitted his slowerbraln^ d foes. And these same unexpected and genius-bred tactics were to serve him against many another foe. He returned In triumph to Paris, when he was sent, early In 1798. with 86,000 men to invade Egypt. This expedition, so far as concerned the Mamelukes and Turkish armies he encountered, was a brilliant success for French arms. But Bonaparte's fleet was destoyed by the English, and the garrison of Acre, made up partly of Englishmen, successfully resisted his attack. From first to last, England was Bonaparte's stumbling block. Jn his time he thrashed and bullied and browbeat every other nation, as the school bully might the littlest boy. But whenever he clashed with England he soon or late met discomfiture. While Bonaparte was in Cairo on his return from Syria news came of French defeats In Italy and of a political crisis In Paris. Also--and to him, at that time, perhaps, most Important of all--came private advices of Josephine's open Jllrtatlon with other men. The triple tidings sufficed to send Bonaparte hurrying back home, leaving his army to shift for Itself. He reached Paris at the crucial moment of the governmental crisis, and, by taking advantage of every turn of fortune as foreseen by his rare diplomacy, he succeeded in winning the position of first consul. Then It was that the man's true character showed forth. His was a double ambition--first to make France strong at home and terrible abroad and, second--and above all--to win for himself the highest obtainable power and glory. He .set to work restoring order and prosperity to his unsettled country, conciliating rival factions and framing a new and inspired code of laws. Then he put Into action his plan to conquer the world. Jelly Sixteen Card Club The members of the Jolly Sixteen Card club met at the home of Mrs. J. C. Bickler on Wednesday afternoon of last week where a few pleasant hours were spent at cards. Mrs. Simon M5chels was the one who attained high score and was the winner of the first prize.

Why Rainfall Is Lessening Durtupr the last half-century the world's average rainfall has, according to weather records, decreased about 1 per cent. This has been considered due to outside influences such as variation in sunlight, but an Indian weather expert has put forward a suggestion for the decrease. He suggests that the lack of rain may be due to an oil film, less than a millionth of an inch thick, spread on the surface of the ocean by ships that burn oil for fuel. Evaporation of ocean water is the chief source of rain, and this film of oil may be sufficient to retard evaporation.

Some time ago, a well known --gai sine published an illustration wlndfc featured a glass of beer. Promptly the publisher received a letter front the Prohibition Bureau calling his ati» tentioh to the fact that section 17 of the law had been violated, as any piet* tures which tended to encourage vie* lation of the Prohibition laws wei# contrary to the spirit, if not to th» actual letter of the law, he was re# quested to modify his editorial policy accordingly, which prompts me t» wonder what law in spirit, some at the anatomy pictures that grace oar movie and other up town magazine* break. They do other things besides driving young men into the navy and old men to goat hospitals. At least one surely could say these picturea are "provocative" and delicately disarming, suggesting the smooth and silken veiling of emotions.
