HELENA. When Napoleon, at life-long prison-er of the British government, wa ent to the Island of Rt. Helena, provision for hla comfort wan not neglected, aa th following report from the London house which supplied the furnishings will Bhow. No stipulation aa to price was made, and the order waa for every ar.lclo of furniture and household goods to be "of pure and simple elegance, but without ornament or Initial letters on As the order hud to be filled within six weeka after it, was given, 400 men were employed execute the work.

Win everything was in readiness for the future home of the exllt-d cmpe cr, the report read as follows: "The whole ha.i been executed In British materials; the chairs and ta-lilt-B are formed of the finest British onk, Inlaid with polished brass; the breukfast service Ib of Wedgewood'a inot beautiful pale blue composition, with a white cameo device In relief, modeled by I'liixnian, in best style; the dinner service la white and gold, the center of each plate, dish, containing an elegantly executed landscape of British Bconery; the glass, of the finest quality, is plainly, but elegantly cut, with a fancy border of stars supported by fluted pillars; the table cloths and napkina are of the finest damask. The evening Bervlce Is white and gold, the Imperial plate rendering it unnecessary to furnish him wl a service of British manufacture, but with a few dozen of spoons and other minor articles of that description to meet the wear aad tear of domestic accidents, ferm a part of the present supply. The cushions and curtains are of light blue silk, with a black border. Some are of blue, with a rich yellow border.

jV; Pablei of the Chap Who Followed Hit Tongue Which Wagged Continually. There was once a certain Rlalnf Young Man who Followed After Hl Tongue every minute of hla waking hours. Not that his tongue jumprd out of his mouth Actually and he Tag gad Along hohlnd It of course, not! But hn did so Figuratively. You heard him Hcfore you law Llm, and you erill heard him After he had gone. Hla niouth wan Open find bit tongue Wagging continually -and every time he opened hla Mouth be put his foot In It! As a Gossip among Oosslpers lie was certainly There with the Spiel.

There was nothing Malicious about him, but he classed up At as a Mab-Artlat. All that he Knew he had on the end of hla Tongue and, somehow, it Just couldn't help Slipping Orf! He was a real Chatty sort of person who believed In Talking Nice to Everybody, lie considered "Con" and "Small Talk" real AsKets to be Reckoned Seriously, He made a point of telling Anybody anything be wanted to know If he could. If he couldn't he did so anyway! As to informing an inquisitor that he Knew Nothing about the subject in question, or refusing to bo Interviewed, he wouldn't have even Dreamed about doing so! If his tongue had been Locked with a Fadlock he'd have held still Patiently while some one else Picked the Lock with a Skeleton key! Naturally, this R. Y. M.

was Just the person with whom to trust a Business Secret yes, he was! And, quite naturally, too, he minded only his own Business and Kept his Nose out of things that concerned Other People. He did not! He was a regular walking Bureau of Information concerning everything that happened In the Office. At lunch time he Issued Verbal Bulletins of the Choice Things that had transpired at the Office during the Morning. For example, he could tell you that the Senior Partner had had a lively Conversation over the phone with Blink-ins of Blinking Smith, and had threatened to sue unless the Account Due was settled within thirty days.

E. Schneider, M- 1 ill SUA" III OWINGS. Thomas C. Owings was born in Roan county, July 16, 1833, and departed this life at Soldier, Kansas, Aug 6, 1910, aged 77 years and 26 days. He was married to Malissa Williams, May 6, 1866, and to this union were born seven children, six sons and one daughter, four of them having preceded him to the world beyond.

His wife died 16 years ago and he has since walked the lonely path. He came to Kansas about 10 years ago and has lived with his children. He was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a soldier or the Union in the great struggle of our country in the sixties. The funeral took place from the Mount Olive church, August 8, 1910, with a short discourse from Ps.

144:3, and his remains, now silent, rest in the Mount Olive cemetery, awaiting the call of the resurrection morn. He leaves to mourn his departure, two sons and one daughter as follows: Charles of Colorado, Roy of Soldierand Mrs. Sadie James of Soldier; also two brothers, Robert and Samuel, the latter living in Polk county, Mo. These have the sympathy of the entire community, J. Wykert.

I take this opportunity to thank my children, relatives, neighbors and friends for their pleasant surprise on my 71st birthday, and the post card shower of 100 cards, Mrs. Amanda Fairbanks, New Barber Shop. I have purchased the City Barber Shop and will be pleased to serve you, Give me a trial and I feel confident that you will "come again." GEO. S. HILLYER.

in Emmett. Jj A MISTAKE. In justice to Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Suttles, whose son shot himself last week, we wish to correct an impression that was created by an article in the Onaga Republican.

We have great respect for the editor of the Republican but believe he was missinformed as to the case. It was not true as stated that the boy was without medical attention for twelve hours as Dr. Hooper of this city, a physician and surgeon whose ability is not excelled by any in this section, not excepting Onaga, was called immediately and removed the bullet, but the inevitable happened; acute peritonitis, over which no doctor has control, set in and the result was fatal. There is no doubt in this community but that all was done which could be done to save the boy. NO DANGER.

Mrs. Coonley How am yo' husband to-day, Mrs. Yallerby? Mrs. Yallerby I don't eiactly know, but de doctah says he am now convalescent. Mrs.

Shirts, cravats, pocket handkerchiefs, boots, shoes, stockings of every description are also provided for him." From the above we are to understand that Napoleon lived in quiet el- 6 was like a.

bird in a elided eaen and beat himself against the bars ceaselessly. However, before his real imprisonment began and while on board the ship which was carrying him to his long confinement which ended only with his death he seemed quite cheerful at times. The following Is quoted from the book entitled, "St. Helena:" "Bonaparte ate and drank, conversing familiarly with the officers on board who could speak the French language, and playing whist in the evenngs. At dinner he helped himself to a mutton cutlet, which he at from his fingers without the use ol either knife or fork.

Indisposition compelled seclusion in his cabin, but he would not acknowledge to 'seasickness, and it is said his suite, who still paid him all the attention the most despotic monarch could desire, were courtiers too refined to question the veracity or discernment of their Imperial master when he ascribed his Illness to causes. But he was soon on deck again, assailing all whom he met with questions. To one of the midshipmen he put the question as to how long he had been In Hl3 Majesty's service, and on being told "Nine years," remarked on the length of time. "Yes," replied the midshipman, "but part was passed In imprisonment in France, and I happened to be at Verdon when you, sir, set out on your expedition to Moscow." At this answer Bonaparte shrugged hia shoulders and ended his questioning While on the island Bonaparte was often entertained by a little girl vis itor whom he became very fond of. She was a sweet-faced, merry little niald of 9 years, and was a custom of the exiled monarch to provide himself with sweetmeats and fruits to give to htr when uhe called on him.

He often amused himself by giving the child drawing lessons, and once, shortly before his death, he decided on a pretentious gift to the little lady, whose name was Julia. The gift was a gold watch and chain, with the inscription, crudely graven on the watch by Bonaparte himself by of a penknife: "The Emperor, to hla little friend, Julia." "Ke's getting old." The Ruling Instinct. "Hold, man! What would you do?" "I would die! From this bridge I will leap Into yon mighty torrent and end it all all." "Heayensf But if you must, wait twenty minutes until I 'can send for my moving picture machine; this will make a corking film." St. Paul Dis-catch, Though he couldn't state precisely, i the Bone of Contention, he could describe Vividly the visit of the Junior Partner's wife to the office that morning. The evening before he'd seen the Junior Partner out at a Beer Garden with several men; as- a matter of fuct the J.

P. had taken three or four glasses of beer. But in telling it the Y. M. had him "Stewed ritkled" in enough Fizz-Water to float a Battle Ship.

He wasn't sure of It, and, of course, he'd hate to be drawing a Wrong Conclusion, but It certainly fMd look to him aa though the J. P. had been Hitting It Up Lately! And he had a sort of a Hunch that that was why the J. wife had Blown the Office that Morning. He was forever and a day tolling something In Confidence.

He knew inside Socrets of the Office even1 before the Bosses themselves knew i them. He could tell you just who was On Time and just who was Late each 1 morning. If by chance a Bill Collector came to see one of the boys, this Office Busy-Body managed to find out who he came from, How Much was due and how Long it had been due! And as for Salaries! whew! He knew to the Fraction of a Penny just how much the Firm was making each year! He could tell you the size of the Roll In the Pay Envelope of every man employed. And he forecasted Money Stringencies in the Firm's business monthly. One time he mentioned an Over-due Account that the Firm owed to an Outsider who was just about to sell the Firm a lot of goods on extended credit.

The Outsider promptly declined the Order and eventually told why! Mr. Blab-Mouth was promptly Discharged! Which goes to show that It Pays to be a Know Nothing, even a Tight Wad when it comes to Other People's business! Farmers and Drovers' Journal. Should Keep Hla Distance.
