A New One About hapolson.

A new" story about Napoleon Is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that 1t is simply 80 old that 1t has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints In
L'Opinion As never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Blucher
The emperor received the general
at the castle Of F1nkenstein. while he
was preparing for the siege Of Danzig.
He drew him to q window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Blucher. going
away delighted, described the inter.
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
You might have changed the whole
course Of history"
How"
Why, you might have thrown him
out of the window"
"Confound IT," replied Blucher. sc

recommend 1t to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate tan essential in food for the

being softened with milk or cream
for babies OF the aged when deficiency

liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nonrishing and re-
frsshinS-'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
Of Grape-Nuts in q glass Of water for
an hour. strain and serve with the
beaten white Of An egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for Aavouring. This af-
fords a great deal Of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
My husband Is = physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders II
many times for his patients.
Personally regard a dish Of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-wen or
sick"
In any case Of stomach trouble, nerv.

KIN, sage Chicken to save shssp.

Evanston, Wyo.-Louis Jones. .
sheepherder. was recently charged
with killing sage chickens out OF sea
son. He admitted his guilt but
claimed the killing was justifiable.
He said . flock Of sage hens altght-
ed among his sheep one day. and, af-
ter much work, he succeeded In driv-
ing away all save one young. tooth
some chicken, which insisted on re-
manning with the flock, which was
greatly disturbed by the Tutoring
fowl. Finally. in desperation, and to
prevent his flock from stampeding,
young Jones shot the hage chicken.
and later placed it in the camp wagon,
intending to bury 1t. Returning to
camp that night hungry. and the
chicken being fat and inviting, Jones
says he cooked and ate 1t. The next
day game warden found chicken
feathers near the camp wagon and
charged Jones with q violation of the
game laws.
Before now herders and others have
claimed sage chickens would fly
against their camp wagon and be ill.,
fured so that death was necessary to
relieve them of suffering, but this Is
the first time on record where a sage
hen had to be killed out Of season to
prevent the stampeding Of sheep.
