A detachment from one Of the French
armies under Napoleon was once passing
through a small town in Roman Catholic
part of Germany. when the troops being
in want of provisions the general sent to
require q certain amount to be furnished
by the town. The principal inhabitants
came to him, assuring him that the whole
town could not furnish what he required.
"And what must be done, them asked
the general. My army is i'll great want
of provisions" The deputies replied that
the only place in the vicinity which could
supply any quantity of provisions was a
convent at a very short distance from the
town.
The general thereupon wrote very polite
letter to the superior. stating his wants
and praying for supply from the stores
of the convent.
The superior consulted with the monks,
and all agreed in not complying with the
generals request, but. he seemed dis
posed to be civil. they thought that a
refusal couched in polite terms might be
ventured upon. But how should the answer
be sent? verbal reply to a written re-
quest would not appear respectful; their
French would probably be so bad that
they would be exposed to the ridicule of the
general and his officers and German these
Frenchmen probably would not understand.
So at last it was resolved that the let
ter should be written in Latin. 1t an
elaborate apology, couehed in very polite
terms, for not complying with the request
and was consigned to the messenger, who
Immediately delivered II into the hands of
the general.
Napoleon opened it, but. unluckily. not
having had a classical education, did not
understand a word of it and gave it to his
secretary to read
The secretary remembered just enough
of his Latin to gather that it was a re.
fusal of the supplies.
How cried the general. do the rascals
dare not only to refuse my demands but
also to write me in Latin?' He then di-
rected his secretary to write them as
follows:
"Friponibus de moinibus 81 vous ne men
envoyibus instantibus, je mettrai lie feu
bus, toutibuS."
This is pretty good French Hog L; tin"
and may be literaglly traps.Ited thus:
you rascally monks. if you do rot send
it to me instantly. L will burn down your
convent and hang you all"
The monks understood the cere,aI's
Latin extremely well. though he had not
perfectly comprehended IN .Irs, nj seized
w'1 mortal panic. the supplies required
we. e Immediately sent.

uncrossed his legs several times before he
