CYRANO's NORMAL NOSE.

Passing from the quick to the dead
another actual celebrity was Savinion
t'yranO de Bergerac. There could pos
sibly be exhumed some gaming tales
about him also. for he ran the gamut
of escapades. He was born in 1920 in
Gergerac. France. Always turbulent
and impatient, at school he despised
the methodical studies of Latin, Greek
and logic. and Throughout life he held
all the classics despicable His father
sent him to Paris. and though then

Intrepid. He was imbroiled in duels
and dissipations. Moliere was fellow
pupil and in after years he pilfered

exaggerated form. although 1t had
been written of him that his nasal or
gan was extremely prominent and that
he resented any comment on it's re-
markable size and fought several dueis
to maintain due respect for it among
his neighbOrs. There is no ground for
this assertion; it is biographical,
literary fable. An old portrait of
Bergerac in Paris shows his nose to be
normal and such a nose as many men
who want sign of power in their
faces would be glad enough to own.
How redoubtable young man Ber-
gerac was is shown by story of him

some plan by which they could repay
the clergyman for his hospitality.
Noting that his friend was wearing
an alpaca coat which was very shiny
and in places so worn that he could
see through it. Spurgeon hit upon his
plan. So at the end of the evening ser

head to confirm this statement.

who left the courtroom sent ND n

repeated by the crowds gathered Just
