Wellington Fought Him Often, but Never Set Eyes on Him. The drawing-master to Queen Victoria’s children, a Mr. Corbould, has just pub- lished a volume of reminiscences, includ- ing this novel anecdote about the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon: *On reach- ing the palace one morning the Prince of Wales showed me a drawing he had just finished. Napcleon was depiced on horseback leveling a pistol at the Duke of Wellington, who was advancing to cut down his great enemy. While I was look- mg.at the drawing, who shouid come in but the Duke himseli! ‘Why, the very man who can best criticize my drawing!’ cried th» Prince. ‘Now can you tell me who that is on the left?’ he went on, presenting the sketch to the Duke. ‘Well, replied the latter, deliberatelv, ‘judging from the waistcoast and the cocked bat, I should ay it was meant for Napoteon.” ‘Right,” said the Prince. ‘And who is the other figure?’ ‘By the cut of the jib,’ returned the Duke, calmly, ‘I shouid say it was myself.” ‘Rightagain. Well, now, is the arawing accurate? That's what I want to know.” The Duke rose, put @own the sketch, and thus impressively addressed the Prince of Wales: ‘My boy, I'm gomng to tell you something that the English people-don’t seem to realize. I was sent out to keep Napoleon in check, but never in my life have I set eyeson him! Once, in the midst of a battle, =ome one cried “Look, there's Napoleon!” but before 1 eould get the glass 10 my eye the smoke from a fieldgun had enveloped him.’'"”— Leslie's Weekly. —_— THE CALL CALENDAR, October, 1897, 14 15 |16 Fall IMoon.
