TUESDAY DECEMBER 23, 1913. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER : ‘ ae UG 3 THE LOVELIGHT IN HIs EYES.|C] 0GGED NOSTRILS OPEN AT ONCE, * He Thought That Was What Made All the People Stare. “You. have read in novels how a great emotion ‘will transform a man’s countenance, how a poet’s face in the hour of inspiration sets the sparrows singing on the housetops. My own features are of the commonplace type —nobody thinks of regarding them twice—yet I, too, have had my experi- ences, declares a contributor to Punch, “They occurred on the morning when I received a letter from Phyllis, which said briefly, ‘Yes, [ think so.” Not much in tbat, you may , but when I tell you it the delayed answer to a proposal of marringe you will under- stand. Shortly after reading it 1 step- ped out into the street to walk to the office. “What a walk that v in my eyes seemed to b The light iten the very sun; the song in my heart was echoed from a hundred wotorbises. Never have the ywinds o wooed so win- ningly a February i “Every man 1 wet turued his head as if loath to take his eyes from my irradiated countenance. [very girl seemed to take the keenest pleasure in my happiness and smiled at me pret- tily as if infected by its contagion. *’Tis well," I thought (in blank verse), ‘that Phyllis now is pledged to me or, by my troth. these flattering glances shot from beauty's eyes mighf make my heart unfaithful.’ “It was only when I reached the of- fice and looked in the glass that I dis- covered the large black smudge on the end of my nose.” COURAGE OF NAPOLEON. The Way It Carried Him From Aspern- Essling to Wagram. Professor J. Holland Rose in “The Personality of Napoleon” writes of Na- poleon’s courage. He says that his personality ‘“never stood forth. so grandly as after a defeat” The most serious blow in the middle part of his career was that dealt him by the Arch- duke Charles at Aspern-Essling, north- east of Vienna. The Austrians were nearly double him in strength. The bridges over the Danube had been broken down in his rear. His great marshal, Lannes, had been killed. and, in fact. he had suffered a terrible re- verse. All his generals were for re- treat. but be withstood them, and Pro- fessor Rose ranks the next six weeks “among the most glorious of his mili- tary career.” He secured new troops. deceived his enemy by false move- ments and finally defeated him at Wagram. But a decline came to such a pro- digious man. He himself said at St. Helena that he had been spoiled by success. It was natural that the vie- tor in fifty pitched battles and innu- merable smaller engagements should come to believe himself omniscient and invincible. It was this hardening of the mind that betrayed him into the Russian campaign, that caused him to refuse all compromise in 1813 and 1814 NO DUST SHINE STAYS ‘——— ‘ ’ BLACK SITk | Q) LiquiD | mn \stovgpo.

SOLDIER AUTOMATONS. Latest Device to Heighten the Terrors of Warfare. Yet another terrible engine of war is likely to be added to the equipment of modern armies if the invention of an engineer named Aassen of Cepenhagen fulfills expectations. This engineer has perfected an invention which he calls a “soldier automaton,” an automatic ma- chine for replacing the line of skir- mishers for defense purposes. Briefly it consists of a cylinder, which is buried in the ground and which, like submarine mines, may stay there for years without being damaged. A sig- nal station a distance of four or five miles away is connected with the cyl- inder. By pressing a button an elec- tric current is transmitted, and the cyl- inder shoots up until it is about two feet from the level of the ground, firing at the same moment 400 shots in a hor- izontal direction. The value of such an invention in re- pelling invaders is obvious. It means that one of these cylinders can take the place at any point of 400 soldiers, and if a number are buried in proper sys- tematic order over a certain stretch of country a continuous hail of bullets can be fired at an invading army with- out the latter seeing a single enemy. A number of these cylinders, in fact. makes a line of skirmishers whose op- erations may inflict terrible damage on the enemy. The shots take effect at a distance of 3,000 yards, and the in- ventor calculates that only 10 per cent of the enemy would be saved after an attack of these automatic troops. The “skirmishers” would be placed in rows behind each other, to be used suc- cessively for resisting various attacks, and, as the cylinders are hidden in the ground, no enemy can know where the line Is before the firing starts.—Ex- change. CROWNS LOSING LUSTER. Modern Monarchs Becoming Mcre Or- namental Than Useful. ‘While European democracy contin- ues its process of relegating to the po- sition of spectacular ornaments its crowned heads, interest in the person- been and will continue to be not the | glovification of his dynasty, but the welfare of the German people. As each | s off the human stage his successor. born and reared in a more democratic atmosphere than himself, becomes mor¢ than ever the representative of his people.

California Woman Seriously Alarmed “A short time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great deal of annoyance. I would have bad cough- ing spells and my lungs were so sore and inflamed I began to be seri- ously alarmed. A friend recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, say- ing she had used it for years. I bought a bottle and it relieved my cough the first night, and in a week I was rid of the cold and soreness of my lungs,” writes Miss Marie Ger- ber, Sawettle, Cal. For sale by all dealers.—Adv. TRUE HAPPINESS. It Enables Man “to Draw Contentment From a Cup of Tears.” Wordsworth in one of his poems speaks of *a man too happy for mortal- ity.” We sometimes forget the spiritual significance of joy. The stoics believed that happiness was not essential to man and not to be expected. Happiness of a specific kind, based—upon good fortunate to the individual, is indeed not always to be expected nor always to be desired. But the deeper hap- piness and joy that come from the sure triumph of the good and the true are essential to the individual well be- ing and the progress of society. There have been those who learned through a beautiful consecration “to draw contentment from a cup of tears” and who came, through life’s higher discipline, to know that there {s a deep and abiding joy in the midst of pain and disapointment, a joy built upon the knowledge of life’s greatness and the ability of the soul to rise above the temporary thing. i Such a joy as this is needed to make | a man capable of inheriting eternity here and hereafter, for it raises man alities of these picturesque individuals continues to be one of the features of the social order today, particularly on the. continent. The modern monarch has come more and more to stand merely as the sym- bol of the continuity of national life. the emblem of the people’s distinctive nnfiopallty and sovereignty. Even if in’ a few scattered’ instances he pre- tends to regard himself as ruler by di- vine ‘right, his ‘people 1o longer look .upon him as such.
