Volume 104 — THE OLD FRENCHMAN AND THE YOUNG.
Reading edition
(After a Well-known Original.)
"You are old, 'Le Grand Français,'" the young Frank said, "And your hair has become very white. Yet the Judges award you five years, it is said— I can't think, at your age, it's quite right." "Such Gaul gratitude, boy!" Le Grand Français replied, "As it brightens history's page; In my youth I served France, was her boast and her pride; And France has forgotten my age."
"I hear," said Mrs. R., "that there is some question of real or sham Constables at Burlington House. Why not refer it to the Chief Commissioner of Police?"
