Two years before the outbreak Of the
Franco-Prussian war and the downfall
Of the last Napoleon an American
named James Blrney landed in Paris
from New York lie was what might
be called a general utility man. lie
had been a small merchant in Michi-
gan, a bookkeeper in Ohio, a manufac.
turer in Indiana and an editor In Iowa
He was a good natured, easy going
man, taking life az he found It and
making no kicks. II he got a dollar
ahend. he would find some new excuse
10 get rid Of Il; 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. Birncy some
how got hold Of the European agency
that is, he went 20 Paris at least to
bring the patent directly TO the atten-
tlon Of the French emperor, WHO was
always on the lookout for military nov
elites. The Americans cheek and per-
slstency secured him an audier re after
weeks Of red tape. lie had insisted
that he would not deal with the minis

The chief added another warning.

and smiled behind his mask Birney
might stay on for few days. but he
must keep that nose attachment of his

tween his teeth. He went out Of the
police Office meaning TO do It, but
scarcely - hours had passed away
when he accidentally met a French
doctor who could speak English fairly
well. Birney was naturally asked why
he had visited Paris and Of course he
told OF the bullet proof vest Having
got started, he couldn't stop there.
"Say. do you know ] could fix the
empcror's nose IN less than month";"
he remarked In burst Of confidence.
'Ncs, sir. could improve that smell
er of his at least so per cent in three or
four weeks and I wouldn't charge a
cent either"
"Iho cmpcrors noseI gasped the
doctor But what alls the cmporor's
nose2'
"Out of plumb, sir, and no excr3c for
IT, All want is three weeks time.
Can't you get me an audience with

"Oh, come nowv" laughed Birncy in
protesting way. Il never saw such
people before. Can't the emperor's
nose be out of plumb as well as any
other man'sW
The doctor left him without even
cold bow and probably went to the
police, as Blrncy was arrested an hour
later. According to his story, he was
sent to prison without trial and de-
tained for full year. Then he was
taken out one day ana conveyed to the
war office and into the presence Of Ma
polcon.
Sir said the emperor after glaring
at him for awhile, lis my nose out OF

1T is as plumb as plumbet.' was
the ready reply.

"It's out Of joint. your majesty. but

And try he did, and his nose led him
back TO the land Of the free without
any lingering on the road.

at last granted an audience with the
emperor. 1t was in the war office, and
several cabinet officials were present
A musket was lying on table. and
Napoleon greeted the agent with:

the reply as the vest was held mp to

"Put it on"

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

"Fire awayw was the reply.
The emperor fired, and although the
bullet did not penetrate the shield the
force OF II knocked Birney head over
heels and put him out OF II for the next
ten minutes While Il 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.

dssrars to put an eud to pot-hunting
aud the wanton slaughter Of the game
animals Of the state. In this they will
have the support OF all true sportsmrn
sud game hunters throughout the couu-
Try.
The practice OF pot. thinning should be
prohibited by all means. and yet It must
bs remembered that some OF the so
called sportsmen themselves have been
guilty. Of most outrageous infraction Of
The game laws Of the state. Men Who
have no earthly use for more than two
or three deer have gone into the White
River country and havtkilled 10 or 20
in order that they nigh, make IN record
aud boast Of their ability TO their friends.
II is against these m"rnuders as we'll as
genuine pot ot.hunters that the efforts OF
the Colorado Sporismsn's association

state 10 to be preserved 1t must be by .
careful adherence TO sportsmsn like
