Show A New One About Napoleon. A "new" story about Napoleon is necessarily doubtful; the probability is that it is simply so old that it has been forgotten. However, here is one that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in L'Opinion as never before published. It relatesto Napoleon and Blucher. The emperor received the general at the castle of Pinkenstein, while he was preparing for the siege of Danzig. He drew him to a window in an upper story and paid him compliments on his military gifts, and Blucher, going away delighted, described the interview 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. "So I might! If only I had thought of it." New York Evening Post. |
