- Two years before the outbreak of the
Franco Prussian war and the downfall
of the last Napoleon an American
named James Birney landed in Paris
from New York. He was what might
be called a general utility man. He
had been a small merchant in Michi-
gan, bookkeeper in Ohio, a manufac-
turer in Indiana and an editor in Iowa.
He was good natured, easy going
man, taking life as he found it and
making no kicks. If he got a dollar
ahead, he would find some new excuse
to get rid of it: II he was behind the
game, his creditors would have to ex-
tend his account. Nobody called him
smart, but everybody said he had a
strong fund of humor and philosophy.
= When a man in Cincinnati invented
a bullet proof vest, Mr.. Birney some
how got hold of the European agency
that is, he went to Paris at least to
bring the patent directly to the atten-
tion of the French emperor, who was
always on the lookout for military nov
elites. The Americans cheek and per-
sistency secured him an audience after
weeks of red tape. He had insisted
that he would not deal with the minis,
