Avoid Crouch and Live Lond.

Writing for the Minneapolis Jour
nal, A. J. r. notes the demise of Sc
attic citizen one hundred and three
years old, and suggests that one Of the
reasons why he lived so long was
that he never grouched at the break
fast table or elsewhere. Discussing
this, A. J. r. writes
'The enjoyment Of breakfast and
, Of the sunrise always comes so cas-
lily to me that l sometimes wall in
charity for persons who, have been
led to believe, start the generous day
wrong by raising hades at the break
fast table. I will freely wager Is
cents that the Seattle centena-
rian who lived to be one hun
bred and three never insurged at
breakfast, never complained of the
food, nor sneered at his wife's cook
ing"
The aged Scatter ascribed his Ion
gevity to his own temper; he had not
been angry since he was twenty, and
had driven yoke of oxen most Of his
life. Also. loved everybody, and every
body loved him.

GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
French City Of Montdider Was Of I'm.
portance in First Millennium OF
tho Christian Era.

The National Geographic society is
sues the following war geography bull
letin on Montdidier, q few miles east
Of Amiens:
"This little town, whose history
dates back to the first millennium Of
the Christian eru, had a population
Of less than 5000 at the beginning Of
the war, but 1t was rich in historic
associations. It is said to have de-
rived it's name from the fact that
Didier or Desiderius, the last Of the
Lombard kings, was imprisoned here
in TIA by Charlemagne. 1t will be re-
membered that Charlemagne, having
put aside his first wife, Desiderius'
daughter, took up the quarrel Of Pope
Adrian I with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
the Alps, captured the erstwhile ia
ther-in-law's capital city, Ticinum,
and took the vanquished ruler back
to France, where he died in captivity.
"MontdlGier is attractively situated
on an eminence on the banks of the
river Don. 1t is the capital Of an ar
reimbursement in the department Of
the Sonme, and is 50 miles north of
Paris by rail, and % miles southeast
of Amiens. It's chief industries be-
fore the war were tanneries and the
manufacture Of zinc-white.
"When the tides of war finally re-
cede it is probable that the three build
ings in which the citizens of Mont
didier took the greatest pride will be
crumbling ruins. These are the church
of st. Pierre, which was built before
Columbus set sail on his voyage Of
discovery, and which contains a tomb
and font of the eleventh century; the
church of st. Sepulchre, fifteenth
century edifice, and the Palais de JUS
tice, formerly the city castle. In the
last named building visitors before the
war were shown six unusually hand
some Brussels tapestries of the sew
enteenth century. These were I'M
doubtedly removed before the Ger
mans entered the city.
"N1ontdidier's nest famous son was
Parmentier, the scientist, who gavo
impetus to the culture of the potato
in France. A statue erected here COM
memorates his gift to the nation.
"For a number Of years this little
city was governed by it's own lords,
then passed under the dominion Of the
counts Of Creepy and Valois. In the
twelfth century it became a possess
sion of the French crown and received
charter Of liberties. In 1886 it Of
fered gallant and successful resist
ance to the Spanish invaders"

0'BRlEN GREETED
BY LARGE CROWD

At the Normal school auditorium
last Saturday night, Lieut.. Pat
O'Brien, one of the war heroes Of the
aviation section Of the great worlds
war, was greeted by a record crowd
and his appearance after the intro
duction by Prof. W. M. Wemett.
brought forth a prolonged and loud
ovation. Lieut.. O'Brien then launch
ed into most interesting and thrill
ing recital Of his experiences and his
escape from the Huns.
While not finished speaker, the
lieutenant told his story in rapid
fire fashion, mixing pathos with hui
mor-and being Irish he has keen
sense Of humor. He carried his audi
ence into Britain, France, Germany,
Belgium and Holland, as he slowly but
surely forced ahead on his escape
from the Huns. He certainly had a
hard time getting away, but his in
domitable spirit and pluck caused him
to win out. He told very amusing
story of his reception by King George
Of England, whom he avows is the
most democratic fellow on earth and
a real good fellow. Pat is not much
used to hobnobbing with kings, but he
got by with the job just as easily as
anything could be done on account of
the kings chummy manner, placing
Pat entirely at his ease. His many at
tempts at escape and the many close
calls he had while combating the
Huns in the air kept the audience sit
ting on the edge of the seats every
now and again
His story was frightened by many
anecdotes relating to war events as
he saw them, and one of them great

undoubtedly came home to many. 81

day." said the lieutenant, "and ask
ed who 1 was. I told him l was an
American, but he would not believe
it and said l would have to prove it
by singing The Star Spangled Ban
ner.' For the life of me could not
recall the words, and told him so:
Pass, American he promptly said"
This sally at the great shortcom-
ing of most Americans brought a
roar of laughter from the lieutenant's
hearers.
