Cincinnati, Feb aO.-This was the
day set for redeeming tickets sold for

declared off by Judge HOLSTERS de

turned their tickets as contributions

several cabinet officials were present.
A musket was lying on table, and

the reply as the vest was held up to
view

Now, sir" continued the emperor as
he lifted up the musket, Il am going to

take the chancesY
Fire awayw was the reply.
The emperor fired, and although the
bullet did not penetrate the shield the
force of it knocked Birney head over
heels and put him out Of 1t for the next
ten minutes. While Ii was decided that
the vest was not a success, the Ameri-
cans nerve excited such admiration
that he was given handsome present
in cash and graciously dismissed. He
seemed to want to say something to
the emperor before he left the room,
but did not have opportunity. Early
the next day. however. he bobbed up at
the war Office for an interview with the
minister.

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 q small merchant in Michi-
gan, bookkeeper in Ohio, manufac-
turer in Indiana and an editor in Iowa
He was a 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: if 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 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-
ton 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
