NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINS.
: [The divorce or the Empress Josepfctaie
from Napoleon I. of Franco was con
cluded Dec 16. 1309.]
J03EPHINE TO NAPOLEON.
RE'JT. for thou art weary, while thlnt
eyelids close.
I'll be tho bird that loves, thai
L loves the rose.
And warbles and warbles o'er thy
sweet, thy sweet repose.
For thou hast said such music (lows
From these fond lips ua o'er thee throw*
The only calm Napoleon knows?
1 The only calm Napoleon knows.
My heart Is troubled against my bettei
will.
Strange fears arise us If of coming 111.
WouUlst bid. wouldst bid my trembling,
trembling soul be still?
No more to breathe In these loved scenes!
No more to charm Napoleon's dreams!
Grlof breaks the heart of Josephine
Grief breaks the heart of Josephine!
NAPOLEON TO JOSEPHINE.
Chase from thy mind these Idle foars.
Wlpo from thine eyes thoso pearly tears.
Napoleon will not from thee part.
Napoleon will not break thy heart.
My Josephine, my Josephine!
REFRAIN.
Dearer than life Itself to me.
Companion of my dytlny.
The only one I ever loved.
The only tongue that ever moved
My stubborn will, my Josophlno!
I loved thee when thy lovely face
First charmed me with Its penslvo grace.
I loved thee when thy son did claim
His father's sword In thy sweet name.
My Josephine, my Josephine!
They bade me cast my love aside.
They bade me take another bride!
Napoleon's lost bereft of thee!
Napoleon never can bo free
From Josephine, sweet Josephine!

sadness
He kept for his own heart's pecullai
?hare.
So well he sang the world Imagined glad
ness
To be sole tenant there,
T^OR dreams were his. and In the dawn't
fair shining
His spirit soared beyond the mounting
lark.
But from his lips no accent of repining
Fell when the days grew dark.
\ ND though, contending long dread Fate
to master.
He failed at hist her enmity to cheat.
He turned with such a smile to face dis
aster
That lie sublimed defeat.
? Florence Kurlo Coates In Century.
SANTA CLAUS UP TO DATE.
WHEN nil our sweet mammas
were schoolgirls
And all our dear papas were
boys
Old Santa Claus came down the
chimney
With his presents of candy and toys.
He flashed through the night, Jingling
sleigh bells.
With a team of most wonderful deer.
Just skipping from housetop to housetop
In a manner perplexing and queer.
But now he comes round with a toot-toot!
With a chauffeur and stink upon wheels.
And proudly distributes his favors
From "get-a-horse" automobiles.
Next year he inav sail In the window
In style meteoric and shocking.
So don't be surprised if his airship
Swoops down to embellish your stocking.

' Has no room for rancor and strife.

Unselfish and pr.tlent and kind.
Files quickly to render glad service.
Some plea for the weakest will find.
BE loving, for never a blossom

Just so a little woman Is If love

There's not a Joy In all the world you
will not tlnd within her.
And as within tho little rose you llnd tho

And In the little grain of gold much prlco
and value lies,
As from a little balsam much odor doth
arise.
So In a little woman there's a taste of
paradise.

Too prudent and too wise.

CENSUS BUREAU TAKES M TACK
Prof. A. N. Thompson, who has
charge of the census taking for South
eastern Alaska, has received the fol
lowing message from Supervisor Du
rand. head of the census bureau, In
reference to checking the passengers
' who may pass through Southeastern
Alaska during the next few weeks:
"In order to include all bona fide
residents of Alaska you should Imme
diately station special agents to re
main until May 15th at Haines. Ju
neau, Ketchikan, Wrangell and Skag
way. The agents should enter on a J
schedule the names of all people ar
rivlng on vessels who claim domicile j
lu Alaska with place of residence,
also enter i>ersoii8 without former rot1
Idence who Intend remaining. Omit
transients."
If the tonus of the above message
are complied with it will complicate
greatly the business of census taking,
which has been pretty well cleared uy>
On top of this there will be a largo
additional expense, which up To this
time had not been contemplated.
There are several points in the mes
sage which are not plain and Prof
essor Thompson will telegraph to
Washington in order to be given mor
Information In the case.

Mrs C. A. McCourt, 253 So. Forti
eth St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "I
have no hesitation in confirming the
public statement I gave some years
ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills,
as the cure 1 received from their use
lias been permanent. I suffered n
great deal from severe pains through
my kidneys. I also lacked energy,
was subject to dizzy spells and was
caused annoyance by a weakness of
my kidneys. When Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention,
I procured a box and a few doses
gave me suchgreat relief that 1 con
tinued taking them until every symp
tom of my trouble was disposed of.
I cannot say too much in favor of
Doan's Kidney Pills." ,
