Man Living Saw Napoleon.

The English papers report that DR..
Julius Lukacs of Budapest, uncle of
a former Hungarian prime minister,
has just celebrated the one hundred
and fifteenth anniversary of his birth.
He thinks that he is the oldest man
in Europe, and unless later returns
change the count, he is. In recent
interview Doctor Lukacs said that he
remembers seeing the great Napoleon's
second wife, Marie Louise of Austria,
and their son, the so-called King of
Rome, whose little life was snuffed
out just as his training days were end
ed and his days of performance began.
Doctor Lukacs is safe enough in his
memories; no one can contradict him.

A Versatile Judge.


Horace Smith, the octagenarian
magistrate in London, who has just
retired from the bench, was known
to have composed hymn while at
the same time he was listening to O
government attorney expound the evi.
dence against prisoner who, in the
nature of the case, would have to be
remanded to a higher court. At the
close of the case, the attorney, who
met the magistrate in the hall of the
court, asked him why he had been at
the pains to take notes and received
as a reply the hymn which he had
composed at the time. The magis.

The Red Cross took instant action.
The national organization at Wash

the number Of articles required. and
Notified each division director how
many of each his people We're expect

Director O'Connor had apportioned the

done:
Each had appointed chapter COM

instructors to see that every article
was made according to specifications;
and had called on the Red Cross sup

CHINESE COOKING IS WEIRD

You can tell what man is by what

1t Is not surprising that the Chinese,
the most subtle, mysterious and com.

which are fearful and wonderful to

The Mongolian taste for rat meat
has been immortalized by the Ameri.
