His mother was a traveling tinker when 3 married his father, who was a cobbler and old clothes man, and supplemented his revenue by - lnf dead dogs out of the Seine and selling them to fat-boilers. Masson says that his maternal grandmother, Rosalie de Mandes, was of a noble Spanish family and that his grandfather, named Fir- min, was an Irishman. They kept an inn, called the Poste aux Che- vaux, at Clethy, in the Pas de Calais, and the story is that it was there Napoleon made the acquaint- ance of Mme. Firmin, who hid him in the cellar when it was learned that the English were in the neighborhood. The child born later, but never recognized by Pere Fir- min, was, Masson says, his mother. The ragpicker has long been known to his associates as “Na- poleon.” THREE SHOTS HIT WIFE. Colored Woman Here in Hospital; Husband Arrested.
