The way of it was this: At the outset of their careers there was great rivalry between Qen. Napoleon Bonaparte, the young Italian soldier who had risen rapidly under the directorate, and General Moreau, who was in high favor with many of the directors. Each general had his partisans and ^each sought for every possible advantage over the other. Any little distinction or difference waa seized upon. "The followers of General Moreau bloomed forth one day with odd-looking coat lapels. These were notched in a way that had been previously unknown Later on it was revealed that this lapel was a secret badge ef the Moreau partisans, but it was not long until the star of the Corsican so far outshone General Moreau's that there was no longer the least thought of rivalry. The notched lapel, however, caught the fancy of the tailors and remained a fgaturf . of men's drs*"--Kew York Sun. ,--"--s;--user* OM Custom of Making " Offerings to the M< Moon viewing has been going out of fashion like all other ancient custoou in this country, rays an article In a Tokyo paper, but a great many families, particularly those who have old persons in them, still cherish memories of the old days when the custom was one of the annual features of the country by making offerings to the moon. The offerings to the moon consist of rice dumplings, a kind of potato known as kinokatsugi and other vegetables and fruits. The custom originally came frem China, where it already was popular in the Third or Fourth century and countless poems had been written «n the glory of the moon by Chinese scholars and litterateurs. It is believed that the custom was first observed la the Imperial court of Japan in the Ninth century. A cording to an ancient record, It was already bne of the annual features of the Imperial court under reign of the Emperor Buntoku (851-&57). Early Matieaal Marshes When Washington was first inaugurated as President in New Tork in 1739, the orchestra leader, a German named Phell, at the John Street theater, composed "The President's March," In honor of George Washington, and played it when Washington attended the theater. The march immediately struck the public fancy. In the summer of 1789 a young man in the theater company, for whom a benefit concert was to be given, asked Joseph Hepkinson to write an original songjfor the occasion. This song, set to the tune of "The President's March," was "Hall Columbia," as we know It today. It was called "The President's March" In contradistinctioo to the march of the Revolution called "Washington's March.*! Small Girl's Deficiency Dorothy Lou, who just started to kindergarten, was asked by her mother if ahe could sing any ot her little songs. She answered: "I can sing them, but I can't tune them." The Wisconsin law provides in brief, according to the motor club, thjat all motor vehicles engaged in commercial transportation which make more than one trip into Wisconsin during any year must carry license plates. 20 of the BKhols Motor V&icle Act, under frhfehtChief Moody is 'carrying on his campaign of retaliation, provides, ip brief, that when another state demands that motor vehicles of Illinois carry ita: license plates when being driven in thnt state, Illinois can make a similar demand upon the owners of motor ve- -hiples from that state when they are driving within,the borders of Illinois: Isanauch as approximately three timea as many Wisconsin trucks are being driven into Illinois as Illinois trucks are being driven into Wisconsin, the motor club pointed out, it appears that the Wisconsin operators will suffer the most from the legislation passed by the general assembly of that state. An "armistice" Whs declared on June 10 in the Wisconsin-Illinois controversy over license plates for motor trucks, when an Illinois operator of a truck wits arrested itf Wisconsin with a view to carrying the case to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. Both states have agreed, according to the Chicago Motor Club, to make no more arrests of this character until the high court hands down a decision some months in the future. This agreement,3he motor club reported, came about as a result of a conference between ^Horner G. Bell, chief investigator for the Illinois secretary of state, and Phil Harmon, who holds the same post in Wisconsin. The proposal to carry a test case to the Wisconsin high court was urged by Warren E. Wright, secretary of the Central Motor Freight Association. Wisconsin has agreed to return all moneys collected from Illinois truck operators for alleged violation of the new tow in the event the Wisconsin Supreme court hands down a decifion nullifying the legislation. 2" * Owl u Squirrel Nest tke> Jong-eared owl M of pedlnm sise with extremely long ear tufts.

Napoleon's own special gifts amounted to genius, especially hie comprehension of men and bis swiftness of decision, but his peealiar grasp of tbe art of war was the result of long study and meditation. Before he was In command in Italy he had written the memorandum that forms the basis of his campaign, a memorandum which laid down the condi» tions of success and was derived from a study of earlier campaigns, of polit* leal history, of the map and of man* uals like Bourcet's.
