 Now am ready to slice the breast. I lay tho turkey on its back and put tho fork in so. Then above the wing cut through the thickness of the breast so when I slice the pieces fall off abruptly.

He accepts in part the words of his tory on thc subject, powerfully pie tures the Man of Destiny" as cruel, revengefnl, lustful, treacherous, mean and petty in various ways, with the brain of demi- god and a small couL a mean heart. He pictures the great captains amours with women, his crafty dealings with men, his treat ment of children, his princely lavish Ing of wealth and honors upon his favorites in q way to excite the wrath of Napoleonie worshippers, The au- thor pictures the emperor as full of faihles and human weaknesses, yet q man divinely gifted suprenely above his contemporaries in power, 8 man with tremendous mental gifts vet mean and centemptible in many ways. The emperor Is depicted as he figured in the whrlwinl days in France from whence emanated the dawn of liberty there and the down | fall of tyranny and as he figured when his devouring ambition led to the achievements which placed him in the role of dictator and supreme ruler of the empire The autnor ac- eepts as fact the story of the poison ing of the helpless in the retreat from Acre a slander oft and fully refuted hy testimony that ought to count Many events in the great emperor's l life are narrated, particularly his on. counters with women women whom ne loved temporarily and womer

We quote from the book regarding the authors visit to the tomb of Ellhu Yale aa follows: So 1t came to pass that 1t was indeed an offence to the writer, climbing tho hills from the fair vale of LlanGollen and reaching summit on the heather-clad moors whence the tower of Wrexham church came into view, to see 1t emerging from a pail of grimy smoke, the shameless outpnuring of coal-pit and factory chlmneys, Tho more's the pity, for this noble tower accounted one of the Seven GlorIes of Wales. and at the foot of which lie the re- mains of Elhu Yale, Is too fine a piece of decoration to be given over in this wise to destruction The at tacks of weather are sufficiently as- sertve in watery Wales without man aiding them That this is so patent from the fact that an inscription on the west side of Yale's tomb, and which reads;
