LAST VICTORY OF NAPOLEON
"Man Of Destiny" Led Armies in Sue
cessfuI Defense Of Dresden One
Hundred and Four Years Ago.

One hundred and four years ago,
at Dresden, Napoleon's star blazed
out in full brilliance for the last
time. In his successful counter
attack upon the allies, who had be-
sieged the Saxon capital, the "Man
of Destiny" gained his last impor-
tant victory.
Two days before the Austrians had
begun a bombardment of Dresden,
and st. Cyr's outposts were driven
into the city. On the twenty-sixth
the populace, mad with fear and on
the verge of despair, were overjoyed
by the arrival Of Napoleon. He
brought strong army to the defense
of the city. The allies attacked in
force that day, but were met with q
murderous fire.
On the following day Napoleon
launched his master stroke. AS the
sun cast its first beams over Ores
den, the Grand army poured its col
lumns out of the city and attacked
IN turn. The Austrian left wing |
'rumpled before the assault of Murat |
md Victor. Napoleon, with the
yreater part of the artillery, attacked |
ne center, and the allies were de-
eated with great slaughter, and in
disorder fell back into Bohemia.

GENERAL KNOWN AS DANCER
Man Who is Leading Italian Drive
"upstairs to viennsn Fsvorfto
Member Of Royal Circle.

When the world on this side Of the
water reads Of General Cadorna's
thrilling onward smashing drive
toward upstairs to Vienna" as the
Italians express it, no one thinks Of
this foremost Italian diplomatist
and soldier as Queen Elena's favo-
rite member Of the royal dancing
circle-the man to whom her mai
esty most frequently accords her in
frequent honor Of extending her
hand for his kiss. General Cadorna
is accounted the best sixty-seven-
year-old dancer in his country, and
it is whispered that he not infre-
quently even at this time, with all
of his martial cares heavy upon him,
INDUCES in a waltz or a polka as a
half hours recreation from his
steady strides toward that upstairs
to Vienna" upon which he is bent.
The Countess Cadorna, still love-
ly, was known until far past her fif-
tieth year as famous beauty, and |
to this adds the rare gift of tactful-
ness, a fine attribute in its way for
the wife of any man, even though, |
as in the present case, he is the idol
If his men for what they account
lis greatest charm, 'politeness of the
leart."

VALUE OF CHEESE AS A FOOD

wife, in recent weeks, has learned
more about food than she ever knew
before, says an exchange.
Not long ago most of us we're con-
WINGED that cornmeal dishes were out
of place in summer. We believed
they were Heating" The experts
have declared to the contrary. Now
they want us TO eat more cheese. and
they assure us that we can partake
OF this nourishing food in generous
quantities without any disarrange-
ment of the digestive tract.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a
pound of fowl or of round steak, and
almost twice as much protein as the
same amount of fowl or ham. 1t is
accordingly a cheaper food than
meats, and it is palatable and whole
some. We shall be the gamers if we
forget some of the comic paper jokes
about Welsh rarebit and begin to par |
take OF the cheese as a real food and
not merely as an appetizer.

For many years, az regularly as
August 10 came around, William
Herschell, like many others, emitted
the first ker-choo Of a long cam
paign of hay fever, says the Indi-
annapolis News. On August % this

that Bill had been going about in
his normal carefree way and he said
to himself; 81 must ask him about
his hay fever"
So he called him by phone.
"Nope; haven't had any-yet."
Then he apparently knocked on
something. "Took the serum treat
ment, fifteen doses, one every other
day. Guess I'm going to get by this
trip. (Knock.) Feeling fne.D
Then he went out on the front
porch and began to reflect on what
he thought was a peculiar thing, that
his friend never failed to ask him
yearly what day his hay fever started
and to continue TO suggest to him
every remedy he heard of.
Suddenly: "Ker-choo," and an
,ther and another, and more ad in
initum.
Next morning he appeared at the
'ffice with the old-time watery eyes
nd ticklish nose.
"Dog-gone it." he said, az wish
