Tho National Geographic society Is sues tho following war geography bul letin on Montdldler; u few mile east of Amiens "This little town, whoso hMory ilntca hack i tho first millennium of tho Christian era, had n population of loss tlnu 5,000 at tho beginning of tho wnr, hut It wiis rich. In historic association . It la said to hiwi de rived Its tuinij) from tho fact Unit Dldler or Doslderlus, tho Inst of the Lombard kings, was Imprisoned hero la 774 by (hnrlenmgne.' It will ho re membered that Charlemagne,, having put aside his firat wife, Dcshlerlus' daughter, took tip tho quarrel of I'opo Adrian 1 with tho Lombard monarch, nnd after marching an army across tho Alps, captured tho erstwhile fa-thcr-In-law's capital city, Tlclnum, ami took ttiq vanquished ruler bad; to Franco, whoro bo died In captivity. "Montdldler Is nttructlvuly sltuutod on an eminence on tho banks of tho river Don. It 1h tho capital of an nr rondtssement In tho department of the Somme, and In 02 miles north of Paris by rail, nnd 23 miles southeast of Amiens. Its chief Industries bo foro tho war were tanneries and tho manufacture of xlnc-whtto. "When tho tides of wnr finally ro ccdo It Is probablo Hint tho threo build ings In which tho citizens of Mont dldlor took tho greatest prldo will ho crumbling ruins. These arc tho church of St. I'lerre, which wus built beforo Columbus set sail on his voyage of discovery, aud which pflntnlns a tomb and font of the eleventh century; tho church of St. Sepulchre, n fifteenth ccnt.ury edifice, and tho Pnlnls do Jus Uce, formerly tho city castle. In tho last named building visitors beforo tho war were shown six unusually hnnd somo Brussels tapestries of tho sev enteenth century. Theso wero un doubtedly removed beforo tho Ger mans entered tho city. "Montdldler's most famous son was rffrmentler, tho scientist, who gnvo Impetus to tho culture of tho potato In France. A statue erected here com memorates bis gift to the nation. "For a number of years this little city, was governed by Its own lords, thijn passed under tho dominion of tho counts pf Crepy nnd Vnlols. In tho twelfth century It became n posses sion of tho French crown and received n, charter of liberties. In 1(530 It of fered n gallant nnd successful resist ance to tho Spanish Invaders." Avoid Grouch and Live Long. Writing for tho Minneapolis Jour nal, A. J. It. notes the dcmlsd of u Se attle citizen one hundred and three years old, nnd suggests that otto of tho reasons why ho IJvod so long was that ho never grouched at tho break fast tnblo.or elsewhere. Discussing this. A. J. It. writes "Tho enjoyment of brenkfast and of Uio sunrlso nlwnys comes so eas ily to mo that I sometimes wall In charity for persons, who, I have been ledto believe, start tho generous day wrong by raising hades at tho break fast table. I will freely wager 70 cents thnt tho Seattle centena rian who lived to bo ono hun dred nnd three never Insurged nt breakfast, never complained of tho food, nor sneered ut his wife's cook ing." The aged Scattlcr ascribed bis lon gevity to his own temper; ho had not been angry slnco bo was twenty, nnd had driven a yoko of oxen most of his life. Also, loved everybody, and every body loved him. . He Hadn't Realized. The custodian of an Indianapolis building recently hired n colored man, Gc'orgo, to work nbout tho building. George had always worked as a "houso man" nnd enmo well recommended. Tho first day of his employment, how ever, Oeorgo was out for lunch tho greater part of threo hours. Tho custodian was naturally an noyed. "Where In thunder huvo you been?" he Inquired tho minute he sot eyes on tho erring floorgo. "Me? Why, I'so been homo takln' a imp," Oeorgo answered, In a surprised tone. "I always takes u nap In tho middle of the day." "Well bellovo mo," tho custodian do clorcd, "you don't do that any more You're heeded nround hero." Was Oeorgo uggrlovcd? Not n bit of It. A most appreciative grin spread over his faco. "Well, now," bo said slowly, "you'll havo to excuso me this tlmo, boss. It's Jus't thut I didn't realize beforo bow Important I Is uround hero."
