Last man who saw Napoleon— two. Last man who shot John Wilkes Hooth —six. Last Balaclava man—-three. There has been a noticeable fall ing off of the man who knew Lin coln before he became president. The original McKinley has not died so often during the year as formerly. ’ The last man who voted for An drew Jackson has died once this year. All the original Roosevelt men are still living.” Although vanity is a trait usual ]y attributed to women, the absvc list goes to prove that occasional ly man desires a little notoriety.
