The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1885-12-10
The Great COrsican.

An example of a good system of To-
| gistics is the wonderful concentration
of the French army in the plains Of
Gera in 1906. Another is the entrance
of the army upon the campaign of
1915. Says Jomini: In each of these
cases Napoleon possessed the ability
to make such arrangements that his
columns, starting from points widely
separated, were concentrated with
wonderful precision upon the
decisive point Of the zone
of operations; and in this
way he iusnred the successful issue of
the campaign. The choice of the de-
cisive point was the result of a skillful
application of the principles of STRAIT
egy; and the arrangements for o
ing the troops give us an example of
log;stics which originated in his own
closet. 1t has been long claimed that
Berthier framed those instructions
which were conceived with so much
clearlness, but l have had oppOrtuni-
ties of knowing that such was not the
truth. The emperor was his own
chief staff officer. Provided with q
pair of dividers opened to a distance
by the scale of from seventeen to
twenty miles in Il straight line (Which
made from twenty-five to twenty-five
miles, taking into account the wind
ings of the roads), bending over and
sometimes stretched ut full length
upon his map, where the positions of
his corps and the supposed positions
of the enemy we're marked by pins of
different colors, he was able to give
orders for extensive movements with
a certainty and precise on which were
astonishing, Turning his dividers
about from point to point on the map,
he decided in Il moment the number of
marches necessary for each of his col
umns to arrive at the desired point by
a certain day, then placing pins in the
new positions, and bearing in mind
the rate o ~marching that he must as
sign to each column and the hour of
its setting out, he dictated those in
structions which are alone enough to
make any man famous, Ney coming
from the shores of Lake Constance,
Lanues from Upper Suabia, Soult and
Davoust from Bavaria and the Pa!ati-
nate, Bearnadotte and Bugereau from
F~ranconia, and the Imperial guard
from Paris, were all mus arranged in
line on three parallel roads, to debolch
simultaneously between Saalfeld,
Gera and PIeuen, few persons in the
army of Germany having any concep-
ton of the object of these movements,
which seemed so very complicated. In
the same manner, in 1915, when
Butcher and his army lay quietly in
environments between the Sambre and
the Rhine, and Wellington was at
tending fetes in Brussels, both wait
ing q signal for the invasion of France,
Napoleon, who was supposed to be at
Paris, entirely engrossed with diplo-
matte ceremonies, at the head of his
guard, which had been but recently
reformed in the capital, fell like Il
thunderbolt upon Charlevoi and
Butchers quarters, his columns arriv-
ed from all parts of the compass, with
rare punctuality, on the 14th of June,
in the plains of Beaumont and upon
the banks of the Sambre. Napoleon
did not leave Paris until the 18th. The
combinations described above were
the results of wise strategic c~alcula-
tons, but their execution was I'M
doubtedly a masterpiece of logistics.

Eyes, Sir" a Peggy, 'Gooo
morning, ALL"
Away she went. and to those whom
she babe adieu breathed more freely
when she had left the house.

heard Of" said Mr.. Savage. 81 shall

1t was nearly two hours after Peg.
gy's departure that a stout gentleman
rang the door bell.
Mrs. Savage answered it in person.
There stood before her the stout
gentleman.
81 call, madam" he said, "to make
a few inquiries concerning a girl you
hired about three weeks a goa girl
named Peggy. 1 should like my in
quiries to be quite private for the
present, if you please"
Mrs. Savage instantly summoned
her husband and sister.
The parlor doors were closed, and
the visitor began:
Il do not wish the girl to suspect
anything as yet. If you can keep her
from leaving the house you will oblige
me-"
"She left us this morning." said
Mrs. Savage.
81 am very sorry to hear that" said
the gentleman. pray, may l ask if
anything singular occurred during her
stayP"
"Sir," SAID MI. Savage, "something
singular did occur. l presume you
hope to investigate the phenome-
oon?"
"Well, SIR" said the other, 81 don't
call it that, you know. see you've
been taken in, just as the Smiths
were. She's a cute girl, that Peg
gy."
my dear SIR" cried Mr. Savage,
'.you scientific men doubt everything.
Now, it is certain to me that Peggy
mas a double. myself"
"My dear SIR" cried the other,
''stop a bit. I'm not exactly what you
suppose me. I'm a detective. Peg
gy's double is a deaf and dumb twin
sister, as like her as two peas, and
this ghost dodge Is her little game.
She smuggles the, dumb girl into the
house she lives at, and she goes
through the closets and trunks. Has
the lady made certain that nothing is
gomez"
The w%raith-seers stared at each
other.
Mr.. Savage turned red.
The ladies rushed upstairs to-
gether.
A few moments inspection proved
to them that they had been robbed.
While Peggy had been exhibiting
her bundle the double had walked
away with another, containing laces,
iewelry, and other small matters, not
to speak of Mr.. Savage's watch,
which he had left on the stand in his
room that morning, and the cuckoo
clock from the back parlor.

dyspeptic stomachs are usually found In
