Duke Was No Common Man.

Two of Britain’s greatest fighters. Lord Nelson, the hero of Trafalgar, and the duke of Wellington, nicknamed "Old Nosey,” met but once in their lives, and that meeting occurred in the little Sail of 10 Downing street. Beside the quaint old fireplace there they entered into a general conversation. and Nelson was so Impressed with the duke that he asked a servant who was the man with the striking nose. "MaJ. Oen. Sir Arthur Wellesley, my lord,” replied the servant, astounded m the' sailor's ignorance. "Ah!” said Nelson. "I thought he was no common man." —Oscar FTichet. in “No. 10 Downing Street.” National Magazine.
