Famous Generals Whose Appetttes
OverruIed Their Better
Judgment.

In s"ErightSidesof History" E. H.
House has something to say about the
lppetites of famous people. You know
ilready," Uncle ClaxtCn began, that
L~ucullus was a great general at one
period, and that he led his armies VIC
%toriously Through many parts Of Asia
Minor. The kingdom Of Pontu3 Was
completely ~subjugated 10y him; and the
spoils collected from is principal cities
formed the basis Of tie enormoHs for
tune with which he aiter>vari c"joyed
himself and entertained lis cor. pan
ions in Rome. But gold and jewels were
not the only things that attracted the
attention IF this man Of varied tastes.
The city Of Cerasus, on the shore Of
he EUNine sea, was celebrated for its
cherries, specimens OF which were of
fcred to him as the choicest dclicGcies
If the region. He was SO delighted
with them that he ordered the fruit TO
Dc cultivated Oh his e&t@tes at home,
and from that time cherries began to
oe known in Italy. You ma be sure
that IUcullus the soldier VAST different
being from LucuiIus the Sybarite. 1t
needs a clear head to win battles and
govern kingdoms. and while he was
busy with those pursuits he could not
have wasted many hours in revelry. lie
had before linn IS a warming The fat"
# Alexander, who threw away HI" life
n dissipation while he was yet yuu0n,
IN GinCst exactly the same part Of tE1
world"
You were telling us the other day"
said Percy, that Napoleon Bonaparte
had no time to think about what he
ate"
That was often the case" Uncle
CIaxton replied, when he was u
campaigning. He had very little time,
and not much inclination. Even in the
peaceful intervals of his reign he was
extremely a~bstemiOus. But he had his
fancies in the way of food, and it has
been said that he was punished terribly
for indulging one of these at the wrong
time. Boiled mutton with onion auc
was a dish of which he was often tempt
ed to eat too much, and on the dayO Of the
cattle of Leipsic, when he should have
been especially careful of his diet, he
chose it for his principal meal. and
dined so heavily that within a few hours
a violent collie seized him, and he was
compelled to leave the field at a mo-
ment when all his skill was needed to
avert disaster. Other causes have been
assigned for his defeat, but the story
which l give you was believed at the
time, and | do not know that it has ever
been proved false. The harm may have
come from his habit of eating toe fast,
for which Napoleon was notorious. He
did not ordinarily allow himsclf leisure
enough to enjoy the few dishes he liked
best. His famous rival, Wellington, was
just as careless, and even more in
1itrercut."-S Nichol2S.

CALLED HIS HAND.
WRITES AN ATkIN-
SONIaN LETTER.
But the Oflicial Got Back at Him In
the Same Manner.

a good story Is going the rounds
of the railroad journals concerning
a preacher, who had requested an
annual pass from an official of a
prominent railroad, but was gwen
the usual half-fare permit instead.
This did not appease his desire and
he instituted more dilligent pur-
suit of the coveted annual pass as
follows
"Dear sir You sent me few
days ago half-fare permit, which
please fully permit me to thank
you for. AS proof that should
be given the annual pass i request.
ed respectfully call your attention
to the following passages in script
ure
EXODUS vi-10-With IA strong
hand shalt thou let them GO.
oil. Chronicles xvi.9-.Strong
in behalf of them (half in this
case means not the half ] now
have, but the other half of the
permit, so that shall full,
free pass have for the year,.
81. Kings ii-2-Be strong and
show myself man.
Jeremiah xv-14--I will cause
thee to pass.
ezekiel xx-37-I will cause
thee to pass.
ezekiel xxxvii.2-And caused
me to pass.
"Joshua xxii-19-Then pass
over.
eff the above passages do not
find or reach some responsive chord
in your bosom other language will,
of course, utterly fail to impress
YOU"
The official, in turn, responded
to the scriptural letter letter
containing the following scriptural
quotations to uphold him in the
position he had taken against
issuing the preacher the annual
"Kings xx-39-Thou shalt pay.
"1l. Kings iv8-Go and pay.
'Ecclesiastes v-4-Defer not to
pay.
EXODUS, XXI 22-He shall pay.
exodus x1i-25-He shall sure
ly pay.
"Jonah i-3-So he paid the fare
and went.
Judges iii-2S-Suffer not q
man to pass.
Nahum i-15-The wick ed

"Isaiah xxiv.10-None shall
ever pass.

roar yet shall they not pass"
