W in Los Angeles CAL the other
day, a fine-looking old gentleman
~ celebrated his seventy-eighth
birthday. Army men know him we'll and
call him "Old Rudy" Civilians know lit
tie about him or his remarkable career
His life story reads like romance. An
emperor and an empress quarreled on his
account. Once he was led to the guillo-
tine and his clothing stripped from his
neck and shoulders ready for his execu-
ton but a minute before the knife was
te-fall he was reprieved. For a long time
he was prisoner in a dungeon, but one
fortunate day he made his escape, and,
after a series of remarkable adventures.
reached America.
As if he had not crowded enough of the
picturesque and thrilling into his life, he
entered upon a new period, which had for
its climax a hairbreadth escape from
death almost as dramatic as that upon
the scaffold, for he was one of the men
who went to the Little Big Horn with
Custer The luck that seemed to attend
him in France did not desert him in Mon
tana.
The man of the charmed life is Maj.
Charles C. de Rudio, U. S. A, retired.
He was born in Italy in 1882. Ardent and
patriotic, the woes of his country touched
his heart. When he was but 16 he was
one of the fiery youths who made up the
Romagnol whose dream it was to make
Italy free. Mazzini was his idol in those
days. Later Orsini took that place, for
Drsini suffered much in the couse of indie
pendence Time after time the fires of
revolution had been stamped out and the
leaders cast into prison or forced into
exile, and then in a dark hour 1t seemed
to the members of the Romagnol that all
hope was lost, for a wave of anti-liberal
sentiment was spreading over Europe and
young Italy seemed to have no friends
To Orsini and many other Italians Ma
poleon III was the incarnation of the
anti-liberal feeling. He had been elected
president of France and had made him
self emperor. He had posed as a liberal
and had developed into an autocrat. In
the belief of Orsini Napoleon III was the
chief stumbling block to italian independ-
ence To rid the world of the enemy of
his beloved land seemed to him to be the
highest form of patriotism.
With three comprehensive Rudio. Pieri
and Gomez-he went to Paris, and on the
night of January IA, 1885, as the emperor
and empress were returning from the
opera, the four men exploded number of
bombs close to the imperial carriage
Neither the emperor nor the empress was
injured, but ten bystanders We're killed
and $50 wounded, and the freedom of Itay
was delayed perhaps half a decade.
All four of the conspirators were cap
tured. Orsini, Pieri and De Rudio were
condemned to die by the guillotine Co

The Habit of Happiness

There is nothing better that we can
do for our children than to train them
from infancy to form a habit of always
being happy, cheerful and hopeful, and
of making this life principle, says
Orison SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine. The habit of optimism, of facing
life the right way, will be worth infin-
itely more to them than the greatest
fortune they may inherit without it.
Children should be given a bright out
look upon life. There is nothing like a
sunny disposition. happy temperament,
and if they are not inherited they may
sbe cultivated.
Keep yourself cheerful, joyous, happy.l
1t was never intended that you should
be grumbling, discordant, unhappy
mortal. You were made to be joyously
happy, exuberant; but do not mistake
intoxicating excitement, a Utilization of
the nerves, for happiness. Real happi-
ness is as calm as a summer sea; it is
Deep quiet, serene. It works noiselessly,
silently but powerfully. We are most
powerful when most perfectly poised,
when most serene.
Happiness is a great stimulator of
growth. Nothing grows when discord-
ant. When we shall have learned how
to conserve our energies by getting our
minds into harmony. even the hardest
days work will not tire us. 1t is nerve|
exhaustion, wasted energy through I'M
natural discordant conditions, that
makes us jaded and tired out, the result
of friction in our machinery. If we could
keep ourselves in happy condition all
day, we should be fresh at night. 1t Is
by keeping ourselves in perfect harmony
that we become more efficient and get
the most out of life.

to count, the little band fought on
doggedly. Their ammunition was getting
lower and lower, but the Indians did not
know it, and not being partial to a con-
test under such disadvantages and prob
ably figuring that the 16 could not es-
cape, the Indians concentrated their at
tentions on Reno. He fought magnificent

hausted, too, and the Indians must have
triumphed but for the arrival of Captain
Benteen with three troops of the Seventh
cavalry. Benteen had been dispatched by
Custer on scouting duty just before the
main force was ambushed.
Night came on soon after Benteen's ar
rival Reno was safe for the time being,
but De Rudio was surrounded Only one
chance of escape was open to De Rudio
and his men. That was through the ranks
of the Indians to the camp of Reno.
leaving the woods stealthily and moving
forward in skirmish formation and with
as much care as red man ever did in ap-
preaching an enemy, they were almost
within the Indian lines and close to
Reno's force before they were discov-

hand cheering madly, shooting right and
left and shouting a meaning warning to

brave little band fell, but De Rudio and
most of the Is gained the entertainments.
For two days and two nights Reno

No water and no food had they In all
that time. Then came relief A column
from Generals Terry and Crook arrived
and the Indians drew off.
For 20 years after the battle of the
Little Big Horn, De Rudio served in the

for the executions. Pieri was to die first.
Then De Rudio's head was to fall into
the basket. Next orsini was to pay the
penalty.
The fatal hour came, and Pieri, attend
ed by two priests, marched from his cell
morning, and Monsieur de Paris, shiv-
ering in the icy winds, did not take long
to begin his CORY work. The black cap
was placed on the prisoners head, and

well to his wife and child and was ready
to die. AS in the case of Pieri, priests
marched On either side of him. His arms
were bound behind him and his clothing
was stripped from him, practically from
to block the glittering blade in its fall.
He had asked one favor-a last one
and it had been granted. He loved to
smoke, and he craved permission to have
one pipeful of tobacco as he went to the
scaffold. Calmly smoking, he walked out
from the prison into the prison yard and
on through the rain to the scaffod. The
head and The body of Pieri had been re-
moved and the blade of the guillotine
washed clean of blood.
1t did not seem proper to Monsieur de
Paris to cut short the last smoke of a
man about to pass out of the world, so
he was good enough to stand there in the
biting wind and rain and watch the smoke
curl from the bowl of the pipe and spec
ulate as to how soon the smoke would
end
The fire in the pipe was low and had
begun to sputter when through the prison
gate an officer hurried He made his way

The newcomer looked at De Rudio's
scant attire and smiled.

to be out in such costume" he re-
marked.

other world, did not hear him, and the
officer repeated his observation.

Short-sighted Economy

Many people injure their health seri-
ously by trying to save a little money,
says Orison SWEET Marden in Success
Magazine No ambitious person can af-
ford to feed his brain with poor fuel.
To do so would be as foolhardy as for
great factory to burn bad coal because
good coal was too expensive. Whatever
you do, however poor you may be,
don't stint or try to economize in the
food fuel, which is the very foundation
and secret of your success in life. Econ
omize in other things If you must, wear
| threadbare clothes if necessary, but
never cheat your body or brain by the
quality and quantity of your food. Poor,
cheap food which produces low vitality
and inferior brain force is the worst
kind of economy.
! There are lots of ambitious people with
mistaken ideas of economy who very sell
dom get the kind and quality of food
which is capable of building the best
blood and the best brain.
The ambitious farmer selects the finest
ears of corn and the finest grain, fruits
and vegetables for seed. He cannot af-
ford to cumber his precious soil with
poor seed. Can the man who is amb-
tious to make the most of himself afford
to eat cheap, stale foods which lack or
have lost their great energizing prin-
ciple?
Everywhere We see business men pa
tronizing cheap restaurants, eating indi-
gestible food and drinking, for instance,
cheap, diluted or "doctored'' milk, saw
ing little money. but taking a great
deal out of themselves.
The most precious investment man
can make is to be just as good to him
self as he possibly can, and never under
any circumstances, pinch or economize
in things which can help him to do the
greatest thing possible to him. There is
no doubt that the efficiency of numerous
people is kept down many per cent by
improper diet. Many a man who thinks
he is economizing in time and money

ing a habit of almost incessant barking.
The points of all the toy spaniel
varieties are practically the same. the
difference being in color only. The

the more valuable they are. They should
have a well-balanced frame and great

7-pound and 10-pound weight.
The japanese spaniel is very fashion

teristic little fellow. He should. like the

the eyes are set in wider and the ears
are shorter.
He is a rather smaller dog. in two
