One Of the Old Guard.

When the Empress Eugene arrived
on Tuesday night from the Hotel Con-
tinental and stepped from the electric
coupe which had been sent to the sta
ton to meet her, a tall and soldierly
old man of some seventy years stood
with barred head and saluted in mill
tary fashion.
In the brilliant days of the second
empire the old soldier formed part of
the empress bodyguard, and it is said
that he conceived a strong platonic
love for his sovereign. which made
him the butt of his comrades.
The empress frequently visits the
city over which she once reigned so
brilliantly, but even the newspapers
hardly notice her comings and goings.
The old soldier, however, never fails
in his fidelity, and stands in one of
the corridors through which the en-
press is bound to pass, so that he may
salute his former sovereign as she
passes at the Hotel Continental. He
invariably brings a magnificent bou-
quet of violets or roses, which are
placed in the empress drawing room.

MEMORIAL OF GREAT BATTLE
Monument Being Erected to commem-
crate NapoIeon's Defeat.

One of the greatest battles in his
tory occurred on Oct. is, 1913, at Leip-
sic, when Napoleon was defeated by
the allied European armies. During
the past few years funds have been
collected all over the German father
land in order to provide for means for
the erection of an immense monument
in commemoration of this great bat
tie, which laid the foundation for a
united German nation.
This gigantic monument, which will
be the greatest in the world, is now
under construction. and it will be fin
ished on the day of the one hundredth
anniversary of the great battle, Oct.
10, 1913.
Work on the monument was started
during the spring of 1900. The base
covers no less than $500 square me
ters, while the extreme height, when
finished, will be 362 feet. The monu-
ment is built on a hill in the neigh
borhood of the city of Leipsic, which
rises to an altitude of about 175 feet
above the ground level of the city,
and therefore will be visible from a
great distance. The steps leading to
the first terrace are of German gran
lite; a relief 210 feet in length and
itty-two feet high, adorns the front of
the structure. When completed the
main figure of the monument will show
the Archangel Michael, the patron
saint of the Germans, standing on a
gigantic war chariot; around lie the
bodies of the soldiers who fought the
battle of Leipsic In gothic letters
the relief bears the inscription, Cot
Mitt Uns" (God with us). The mon
ument will cost several million marks
the entire amount having been already
collected. Prof Bruno Schmitz, 6
famous architect and sculptor, is in
charge of the work.

pEPYs AT AN EXECUTION.
Punishment Of Malefaetors In England
in Year 1863.


In the early days of public execu-
lions, 1t was no uncommon thing for
the condemned man to be hanged on
the scene of the crime, or even at his
home. Mr.. Pepys attended such
spectacle on Jan. q, 1868, for we read
the following entry in his diary:
up, and after sending my wife to
my Aunt Wright's to get a place to
see Turner hanged, l to the Change.
and. seeing people flock in the city,
inquired and found that Turner was
not yet hanged; so l went among
them to LeadenhaIl street, at the end
of Lyme street, near where the rob-
berry was done, and to st. Mary Axe.

shilling to stand upon the wheel Of a
cart, in great pain, above an hour be-
fore the execution was done, he delay

of a reprieve; but none came. and at
last was flung OF the ladder in his

he was 9 years old. He was a pupil
of the great Kano and taught the art
in Doshisha college in Kyoto. The
greatest weight he ever lifted is 2sO

overthrew, has lifted 1900 pounds.
Mr. Higashi drinks hot water every
morning. eats fruit, rice and fish, meat
only once a day, and rarely drinks
tea.
"The fatal tricks" he said in an
swar to a question. 81 did not teach
them. Even Kano will put a pupil

would not teach them to a fighter.
