It Was One OF the Most Momcntous Com
fllcts in the Annals of Hlstory-C Com
plete Annihllatlon OF the Old Guard
NapoleOn's Flight.
A Scene of Carnage.

The battle OF Waterloo was one Of
the most momeaSous cLltlicts in the
annals Of history. In other battles
larger bodies Of men had been en-
gagged and greater numbers had per-
ished; but on this Belgian field Of
blood the fate not alone Of Napoleon
but Of France and Europe was set
tied; the greatest military genius
that the world ever saw-greater
than Alexander, Hamilton or Caesar
was stricken to the dust and the
most disastrous war known to mod
ern civilization was ended,
Napoleon, who, after the capitula-
tion of Paris, had been forced to alb
dictate and who was allowed the
sovereignty Of Elba, escaped from
detention Feb 20, 1915, and
after touching the soil Of
France made an enthusiastic journey
to Paris Louis XVIII. fled from
the throne upon which he was placed
by the combined armies of Europe,
and without the firing Of shot Ma
poleon was again the ruler Of France.

In many families lll-tempered peo-
Pile enjoy privileges denied to the
more amiable members Of the house
hold, Brother John has a querulous,
fault-flnding disposition, and must
not be annoyed. Whatever else one
may OF may not do, he or she must
be careful to avoid the topics which
stir up Aunt Kate or Uncle Reuben,
because they lose temper under the
slightest provocatlon, Even frac-
tious child, says Bazaar, is often weak
ly considered at the expense OF his
more amiable brothers and sisters; 1t
is so disagreeable to have fuses and
scenes, and so much pleasanter for
every one to have peace In the home.
In the case of child this is a dread
fully mistaken course to pursue; for
the poor little soul, who might have
been gently helped to control wrong
impulses and to repress selfish utter
ances, is simply allowed to grow in
the direction Of evil, and by-and-by
will have terrible task In eradicat-
ing deplorable faults. Good temper
should not be at a discount in do
nestle life. Nobody, from the heads
Of the household to the servants In
the kitchen or the nursery brood,
should be permitted to tyrannlze over
the others, and crossness is the worst
form Of tyranny 1t may require
flrmness to set up barrier against
the aggressions OF the ill-natured,
but 1t ought to be done, and a steady
determination never to give way to
demands or allow claims made by the
family despot should be maintained.

The practical value Of great
mans friendship is illustrated by the
following anecdote; A gentleman
who had long been attached to Gar
dinal Mazarin, and much esteemed
by that minister but little assisted
in his finances by court favor, one
day told Mazarin Of his many prom
lses and his dilatory performance.
The cardinal, who had great regard
for the man and was unwilling to
lose his friendship, patiently ex-
planned to him the many demands
made upon person In his situation
as minister, and which 1t would be
polite to satisfy previous to other re-
quests, as they were founded on
services done to the state. any

manner" In two or three years the
friend OF the cardinal became q
wealthy man on the credit OF the
minister's attentions to him; and
MazarIn used to laugh, together with
his contldant, at the folly Of the
world In granting their protection to
persons on such slight security

night had seized Quatre Bras. Napo-
leon believing that Ney was strongly
intrenched advanced toward Ligny
and there Unexpectedly encountered
Butcher at the head of an advance

conflict then ensued. All day long
the bloody surges of battle rolled to

went down Napoleon was everywhere
a victor and the Prussians fled, leav-
ing 10, 900 prisoners in the hands of
the French and 20, 900 dead or welter-

poleon ordered Ney to leave sufficient
force to defend Quatre Bras and cut
off the Prussiars with the rest of his
army. But that unfortunate marshal
was making bloody but Intellectual eff

not spare man. Had Ney been in

ers, then holding congress at vi
emma, promptly declared war against
Napoleon. Austria, says John S. G.
Abbott, contributed $500 troops
under Schwartzenberg, England and
Prussia furnished an army of 100000
to act in concert under Wellington
and Blucher; Alexander of Russia
headed 200, 900 troops, and the aux

to $3.50, 900, 900.
Prussian Defeat at Ligny,
Napoleon by incredible exertioDs
raised an army of $50, 900 men to re-
pei the million of bayonets advancing
toward the frontiers of France. He
decided to take the aggressive, march
into Belgium and singly attack the
armies of Butcher and Wellington be-
fore they had time to effect union.
June 10 he joined all his available
troops at the city of Avesnes, on the
extreme frontier of France, and in an
hour his army was on the march. He
dispatched Marshal Ney to take pos
session of the little hamlet OF Quatre
Bras and fortify his position. BY
Selling this position the 100, 900
troops under Wellington would be
cutoff from the 10000 of Butcher
Napoleon would then march against
Wellington and afterward against
Butcher. Ney set out on his mission
and after a two days march came

troops to rest, concluding to defer
Selling the position until morning.

The Voice.

The man with a husky voice is
never sangulne. He is a pesslmist,
and gazes with unexpected eyes at
the progress of events. Quick, sharp
ly defined tones denote the energetic
man, the originator Of projects They
characterize the "man Of the world"
the man OF action, not Of thought.
The slow and hesitating speaker is
rarely quick In action. His mental
processes are tardy, though the prod
ucts may be Of permanent value. In
decision is his chief defect, and he
is never guilty Of energetic resolve.
The man Of great intellect and good
heart has usually a rich and pleasing
voice. In ordinary conversation IL
Is low toned, serene, and distinct
In the heat of friendly debate 1t rolls
forth In loud but harmonious vlbra-
tions.

Hard on the Lion.

At Madras, some time ago. a valu-
able lion, having incautiously allowed
its tail to stray into an adjoining
cage, the tail was seized by an evil
disposed leopard, close to the lions
body, when as the lion attempted to
escape almost the whole of the skin
of his tail was stripped off. This
was followed by such an amount Of
inflammation that the lions life was in
danger Surgeon Major Miller,
brother Of the late Professor Miller,
of Edinburgh, the surgeon to the
governor of Madras, volunteered to
perform amputation. The lion was
seized In his cage and his head
covered with a cap containing a
considerable quantity Of chloroform.
He was then dragged to the edge of
the cage and the tail passed through
the bars, where DIR. Miller cleverly
performed his operation. The animal
made good recovery.

Everything now depended upon one

Guard before the Prussi&ns, tramp.
ling down their feeble and exhausted
opponents, could blend their SQUAD
rons with the battalions of Yelling
ton. The scene now presented was
one of the most sublime which war
has ever furnished. The Imperial
Guard had never yet moved but in
the path Of victory, AS these re-
nowned battalions, in two immense
columns, descended the one eminence
and assembled to the other to oppose
their bare bosoms to point blank dis
charges from batteries double-shotted
or loaded to the muzzle with grape,
there was a moments lull in the
storm of battle. Both armies gazed
with awe upon the scene. The des-
TIMES Of Napoleon, of France, Of
Europe were suspended upon the is
sues of moment. Not drum beat
the charge, Not a bugle uttered its
inspiriting notes. Not a cheer es-
capped the lips Of those proud, deter
mined, indomitable men, Silently,
sternly, unainchingly they strobe on
till they arrived within few yards Of
the batteries and bayonets which the
genius Of Wellington had arrayed to
meet them. There was flash as Of
intensest lightning cleaning along
the British lines, a peal Of crash
ing thunder burst upon the plain,
A tempest Of bullets, shot, shells
and all the horrible missiles of war
fell like hailstones upon the living
mass, and whole battalions melted
away and were trampled in the
bloody mire by the still advancing
host. Defiant of death, the intrepid
Guard, closing up its decimated
ranks pressed on, and pierced the
British line. Every cannon, every
musket which could be brought to
bear was directed to this unfalterng
and terrible foe, Ney, in the course
Of a few moments, had five horses
shot beneath him, Then, with a
drawn saber, he marched on foot at
the head of his men. But the charge
Of the Old Guard was in vain; it
was cut down or hurled back broken
and decimated. At the same moment
the Prussians came rushing upon the
field, entirely overpowering the feeble
squadrons left to oppose them.
Apnihilation Of the Old Guard.
Napoleon threw himself into a
small square Of the Old Guard which
he had kept as a reserve, resolving to
perish with it, but his generals be-
sought him to leave the field, and as
he turned from the CORY scene he
took his first step toward St Helena
This enc square, acting as rear
guard, covered the fight of the army.
The Prussians and the English press
ed it on three sides, pouring into its
bosom the most destructive dis
charges. SQuadrOns Of cavalry plung-
ed upon it, and still 1t remained I'M
broken. The English and Prussians,
admiring such heroism and weary OF
the butchery, suspended for a moment
their fire and sent flag Of truce de-
handing a equalization. Gen. Cam
bronze returned the immortal reply,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1894-07-26

"The Guard dies, but never surren-
ders." A few more volleys Of bullets
from the infantry, a few more dis
charges of grape-shot from the artil-
lery, moved them all down. Thus
persisted, on the fatal field of Water
loo the Old Guard Of Napoleon.
The allied armies pressed on to
Paris; Napoleon a second time abdi-
Gated, and on Oct l6, 1915, he began
his exile in ST. Helena. On the field
Of Waterloo the star Of his destiny
