Show Napoleon's Task Not Finished Until 1918 That's what Napoleon kept arguing and trying to prove all his life. This contention made the born kings angry The anger drove them together. They finally whipped iN'apoleon and sent him to St. Helena. He couldn't whip the horn kings. He tried that 100 years too soon. The world didn't whip the divine-right born kings until 1918. I wonder If Napoleou knows that we polished off the fob he tried to do. When the great cathedral of Notre Dame was alight with lO.lMX: softly waving candle flames and while a pope, brought from Rome to Paris, was preparing, in ttie presence of the most august assemblage that E'-rope could gather, to place an emperor's crown on Napoleon's head. Napoleon turned and whispered to his brother. "What would father say if he could see me now?" And the next moment, when the pope was ready to crown him, Napoleon firmly removed the emblem em-blem from the papal hands and placed the-crown upon his own brow. Kings and emperors are not born; you can make as great a king by artificial ar-tificial processes, provided you've got a brain under the crown, says W. G. Shepherd, In the Mentor. Born kings make trouble; made kings are just m good as born kings; probably better. |
