work.
One Of the men in charge Of the train
which came in over the main line said
that he had no doubt the men west
of Minot would give the company q
great amount Of trouble before the
grievances complained Of were settled.
It was not q question Of wages, he said,
but one of fair treatment. The men
would resent the discharge Of sevon
men in one lot and Q number Of other
discharges, which, he asserted, had
been made without any other cause
than belonging to the union.
Extra Men Are Sent Out.

that it has men at various points who

About 20 of us got off the east bound train at Elmer Junction to take the train over to Washburn, and though we had been told that we would havo to wait two hours it wasn't ten minutes before one of the crowd went to the littlo office where the agent was at work on his books and asked how long before tho south bound train camo along. Inc agent answered him and hung out q sign reading:
 "The south bound train is due at 80.

 "I can't hurry it up any. "I am not a bad man, but should any person persist ill annoying mo after reading the above ---r' All of us read the sign, and it was satisfactory to all but tall, stoop shOuldered individual who read it aloud twice over to himself and was evidently puzzled. He finally knocked on the door of the office, and when the agent put his head out tho tall man said: "You have left sunthin off your sign ! out here"
 The agent glared at him and retreat ed, and the tall man got piece of pa per and a pencil and wrote and put up this sign under the other: II am a peaceful man." "But can't be blutfed. "I persisted, and the kuss didn't dc | 0 blamed thing i''-M. Quad in Detroit Free Press.

This SaddCncd Napoleon right much and annoyed him up to the day of his death, for he had every req son to believe that he had driven Butcher so far away that he could not get back without special train. Ho did not dream that Butcher would walk back and then begin fighting at once without changing his damp socks, but he did so, and the Little Corporal, who did so much i'll the line of souvenirs during his lifetime, and who foStcrcd art by sitting for his portrait between skirmiShes, saw his star declining ill the distance

 One of the best eff not the best) de- scriptions of the battle of Waterloo, ] aside from the above, is given by Victor Hugo, who has used my own language almost ill several instances, and yet he has had more space and has therefore gone more into detail.

He was born also at Mer- rion Square, Dublin, according to other biographers. Wellington ubiquity thus showed itself at an early age, and ill later years caused the overthrow of the first Napoleon.

How to Treat R Snrain.

The very first item in the treatment of a sprain is perfect rest of the limb until a surgeon can be summoned. Re duce the swelling by applications of hot Concentrations, as hot as can be en- dured. Change as often as once ill three hours. If piece of rubber cloth be not at hand, use common newspaper. Wind it on carefully outside the hot cloth This will prevent the escape of the steam and keep the cloth from cooling. A good way to prevent the hands from being scalded is to place the hot, drip ping flannelin towel then, taking hold of each end of the towel, wiring it until the flannel is dry enough to apply. Avoid violent movements of the joint for some weeks after the injury. If the joint become stiff, move it gently each day; also rub gently with some stimu- lating lotion, such as ammonia lini- ment In some cases serious disease of the bone may follow This is the result of the original accident and cannot be avcrted by treatment In any case how ever slight, it pays to keep perfectly still until the injury is repaired

What the Record Shows Concerning Won-
 en In "Life's ACtivities.'
 "One of the most interesting branches of my work, said prominent officer of the American Sociological society, "is keeping record of wOmen's industries. I began it in 1868, when it was a mere infant. Today it has grown so great that it is almost too vast a subject for ono person to handle.
 "Take, for example, the single branch of tho professions In 1868 we estimat cd that there wcrc S0,000 women en- gagged in the various callings under that head, of whom moro than ninC-tCnthS were teachers. Today there are 100, ,0o0 and upward, n growth of over 800 per cent ill less than 80 vrarS In lSGS there were about 250, ,0O0 male professionals, so that the ratio was Il little less than third. Today, despite the enormous growth of tho country, 1t iS about a half.
 "Moro important still. tho rate of in crease on the woman < side iS about l2 per cent per annum, and on tho man s side about 6. If the past ratio remains unchanged, ill the year 1909 thCro will he 1,95O.O 900 professional women and ,93O, GOO professional mon. But the ratio itself is changing i'll wOman's ia vor, and at the present rate of change 1905, only ten years hence, will see the two sexes numerically equa! in the pro- fesSions.
 In 1868 there were no women archi- tects; today there are nearly 100. There were about $50 artists, teachers of art and art designers; today there are over 1I,000, as many if not moro than there arc of men. Women physicians in 27 years have sprung from 420 to 1000, clergymen from 50 to 2,200, authors and newspaper women from 150 to 10,- 900, musicians, composers and instru- mentalists, vocaliSts and music teachers from 5000 to 50,000
 "The lawyers have grown from to nearly 1000, the dentists from 15 to 1,20O, the teachers have passed the 300, = 900 mark, the stage claims an army of 15, 900 in actresses, coryphees, ballet girls, chorus girls, danseuses and vaude- vile artists When it comes to other ] callings, the figures are equally won | derful. There were stenographers and 1 typewriters ill 1868; there are over 40, 900 now. There were 1000 women em- ployed as bookkeepers, accountants, clerks and copyists, while now there are 1GO,0 900.

PEE WEE vERITAs MAILS HIS LETTER. one battle was at one end of great war and the other at the reverse end.
 June IS, 1915, the battle between Napoleon and Wellington, supported by the allied army of England, etc., and a Prussian army, under Blucher, was fought to finish, the police remaining in ignorance of the trouble until it was over.
 Napoleon had successfully kept the two great enemies apart for time, but later on they were enabled to unite against him and polish him off, as the historian has it.
 Napoleon had routed Butcher, and with Wellington seven miles away at Quatre Bras there seemed to be good living chance for the former, whose forces were reckoned at 72,O00 to Vel lington's 7O,O0O. Napoleon would have given battle to the latter on the 17th, but it was late in the day and raining so hard that it seemed impossible to fight without getting wet feet, which would have been hazardous and perhaps fatal.
 On the morning of the 18th the two armies stood facing each other, with every relation strained between them and lurking antipathy which had been worked up by the press.
 The contending hosts occupied paral- Tel ridges facing each other 500 to 800 yards apart, with valley between.
 The set to began at II 80 a. m. be- tween Jerome Bonaparte, Foy and Bachelu on the one side and Harga- mont on the other. It was no walkover for either army, and at o'clock the ad- vantage was extremely slight, the French having the possession of the in- tervening real estate, while the English had the personal property.

 Wellington went to India, and as early as 1909 was made baron, with pension of $lO, ,OO0 per year. In 1S1a parliament gave him some more thanks and a further pension of $10, ,0O0 per year.
 Aug. 12 he was made gcneralissimo of the Spanish army, created Marquis of Wellington, got some more thanks from parliament and $500, 1000 more in cash. besides orders on the store, gold headed canes and Pittsburg stoga cigars without number, l presume, though I will not he too sure of that.
 In lSl4 he was made Duke of Vel lington and received yet other thanks from parliament and still another pen
 
 of his time and by far the dukiest duke east of New York.
 In 1926 he was appointed constable of the Tower, with an additional pension and an annual pass good for self and family. He had a seat i'll parliament, also cabinet position, and in 1S42 Queen Victoria visited him in person at Walmer castle, and he would not allow her to pay q cent while there. He was cut down by apoplexy at the age of S3, and his funeral was one of the most charming functions that Eng land ever saw. He was called the Iron Duke, being a man of great powers of endurance.
 He left considerable property. St. Helena is an island in the south Allan tic belonging to England and covering over AZ square miles. It is a rich vol canic rock and was discovered by Juan | de Nova Castella in 15O1 through no | fault of his own.
 By sailing 1,4OO miles from St. He lena the navigator suddenly finds him self near the coast of Africa. St. Helena is socially dull place and would be a good, quiet point to repair to while re- covering from a debauch. It would also be first class place to live at if one had refused to take any steps toward a presidential nomination. Leaving the matter in the hands of one's friends, one could go to St. Helena and be per fectly quiet till the trouble was over.
 Butcher, or Gebhard Leberecht von Butcher, was foreigner by birth and became a Prussian general He was re- nowned for his adroitness in substitut.
