I VETERANS OF BORODINO. SZ
I Eight of Them Alive on Centennial f|
I Anniversary. 11
I One hundred years ago this fall I
I the city of Moscow was burned af- II
I ter its ocupation by' Napoleon, and 11
I the terrible retreat of the grand ar- I j
I my followed. Just before the cap- II
ture of the Russian capital of those 11
days the doubly disastrous battle 11
Of Borodino was fought and officially I I
listed as a French victory. Recent- II
ly the old battlefield was again ||
alive with music and banners and II
resounded to the tread of mo
lng men, for Russia was celebrating
the centenary of a defeat that
had nearly all the elements of a
victory. On the field during the celelujption
were eight men who had
bravely fought Napoleon's soldiers
at Borodino, the lone survivors in
Russia of that conflict. One was a
non-commissioned officer and the
others did a soldier's full duty that
day. Iiach of them is 120 years old
or more.
Records, it is claimed, show that
the story of these men is no fiction.
The governing generation of today
looks upon the story of Napoleon as
history almost ancient, but how I
close it brings the times he made I
so tempestuous when It is possible I
to talk with men who fought him I
and who in part were responsible I
for his downfall! Some very old I
folks often add years to their ages I
in their claims to longevity; no one I
wishes to rut any of their years I
away, but often we can hardly ac- I
cept the statements of their ages. I
Most everybody has met claims with I
gusto that he once saw an old relic
of slavery times who claims with
gusto that he once saw George
Washington. Many of these stories
have been regarded as harmless J
fiction and probably still will be,
even though it is shown that eight !
Russians are living today who measured
swords with the famous Old {
fftard.
The last survivor of the Ameri
can revolution on the pension rolls ! ?
died in New York in 1.869, aged 109. U
The last survivor of the war of 1812 : i i
on the pension rolls was lliram
Cronk of Ava, N. Y., and he died
May 13, 1905, at the age of 105.
There is probably no soldier of that
war alive now to tell of its battles, ! !
yet it was being fought at the very
time when Napoleon reached the , ; :
first of the two crisis that cost him
his throne. How short the century !
that, has intervened seems since it
is bridged by less than the span of
a man's life and how vivid becomes j
the story of those days.
The battle of Borodino, in which :
the Russian centenarians fought,
took place September 7, 1S12, the
occupation of Moscow seven days
luter and its burning began on the
night of September 15. On October
j. 19, Napoleon began his retreat that
f cost him 400,000 men and practically
wiped out his great army. The
eight men now surviving have become
heroes in Russia and have
been the recipients of many honors.
Their long life probably is due to
simple living in the Russian steppes j
where human wants ar?- few.?Savannah

In memory of W T. Pittman, who
died March 2 5, 15! 2.
Dearest Papa we mourn and grieve
Because we know no pleasure now.
But Jesus knew best just what to
do
And 'twas lie that said I am ready, ; !
Williams, for you.
One year ago today you passed
away
From earth to heaven above,
And we hope to meet you there,
In that land of love.
But the All Seeing eye of our Father
Who knows the beginning and end, - J
Reached down and plucked our j f
Papa
And we sigh amid tears. Amen.
Although 'twas sad to ?-ee thee go.
It broke thy family's heart;
r But the Lord knows best, and thiwe
knowThat
the best of friends must part.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life it fled
When in heaven with jo vto greet
thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Laving daughter,
OLA P1TTMAN.
Many a young man's chances
in life go up in cigarette smoke.
