THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.
If Grouchy Had Prevented Prussian juno
tiOn with English

IF GrOuchy Had Prevented Prussian juno
tiOn with English
Napoleon would have won the battle
of Waterloo had Grouchy prevented the
junction of the Prussians with the Eng
lish army, because he would net hav had
TO fight two battles at once. icH. peT-
sons realize that the so-called battle of
Waterloo was in reality a double battle,
somewhat like Jena and Auerstadt.
Napoleon fought one battle at Water
loo against the English. On the arrival
of the Prussians he was forced to go ia
person toward Planchenhoit and there
fight another battle against the Prus-
sian army, leaving to Ney the conduct OF
the troops at Waterloo. 1t is a we'll
known maxim in war that very great
or decisive victory cannot be gained I'M
less one commander makes serious
blunder, of which the other takes i'm
mediate advantage. 1t is very evident
that the fact of the emperor's having
to fight two battles at once, instead of
concentrating his attention on one
alone, enormously increased the possi-
bility of a mistake. Moreover Ma
poleon did not have the able lieutenants
of his former campaigns DesSaix, kle-
ber, Lannes, and Bessiers were dead.
Massena and Macdonald had taken the
oath of allegiance to the Bourbons, and
Murat had split with the smperor.
Napoleon's personal attention was,
therefore, imperative. To Grouchy
alone all blame mustlbe attributed, for.
had he prevented the union of the
Prussians with the English, the en-
peror would have had to fight only one
battle at a time, and could have given
I, ,oI ot4 To hof
one battle.
In the second place, Napoleon would
not have been forced to fight with IL,
about 125, ,OOO-nearly two to one
against him. He woEld have had H.
947 good soldiers pitted against raw.
undisciplined army of 67,661 men under
the duke of Wellington, which was not
only inferior in mere numbers, but far
| inferior in morale and experience. The
chances would have been greatly in fa-
| vor of the French. Then. too. the
| French army was commanded by the
acknowledged masters of modern war
| fare. whose brilliant successes at
Rivoli, AIarengo, Austerlitz, Jena Fried
land. Wagram, the Borodian, and Dres-
den had dazzled the whole world. Until
| then Napoleon had never been defeated
in any great battle except Leipsic. and
the French were strong in the
confidence of the emperor's success.
Two of the best writer's on the Water
loo n-Shaw-KennedyN and ST.
bourne. both Englishmen-concur in
saying that, had Grouchy kept thr
| PruSsians away, the English army
would have been badly beaten. This
| view is also held by the ablest writer OF
all, Mr.. Ropes.-United Service Review.

MUST OBEY HIS OWN LAW.
Why the Bartender Refused to Sell His
Boss q Drink,

Why the Bartender Refused to Sell His
Boss q Drink.
Because a man makes a law he may
not always break it with impunity
Hiram Clayton, who keeps the Branch
town hotel and is quite a well-known
character, made rule some time ago for
the government of his barroom, says
the Philadelphia Record. He decided
that when a man went to sleep in his
barroom that was sufficient evidence
that the man had had enough to drink.
Upon awaking, therefore, the sleepy
one was promptly refused any more
liquor. The rule was rigidly inforced
both by Clayton himself and by his
brother-in-law, who acts as bartender
One day recently, however, the rule
proved to be boomerang. Clayton was
sitting in his barroom. It was a very
warm afternoon and the host gradually
dozed off into a sound sleep. Some
time later customer came in. He wore
heavy boots and the noise of his
entrance awakened Clayton. The latter
sat up and rubbed his eyes. 'Come an
have 'somethin', Hi," said the customer.
Clayton stood up against the bar and
sleepily called for beer. Sorry SAID
the bartender. 'tbut you can't have any
drink" What" yelled Clayton, who
was now thoroughly awake. Its
against the rules; you've been asleep"
said the bartender, seriously. He stuck
to it, and his boss realizing the justice
of it was obliged to give in. The rule
has since been abolished

inches square. The smaller piece is
placed on the center of the larger, leav-
ing, of course, margin of live inches all
around. 1t is stitched on securely along
three sides, and few inches at each end
of the fourth side, leaving an opening
large enough to force an 1S-inch-square
pillow within.
The margin is buttonhole-edged with
long, coarse stitches in heavy white silk,
and forms an effective border for the
pillow, falling loosely, and with it's ir-
regular scallops, somewhat like frill,
The small square has q design

The fad for denim seems to outlast
all others, chiefly because it has proved
so useful and durable. Whole rooms are
furnished in denim-cushions, table
covers, portieres-are made of this ma

place of carpet. Now that it can be pro-

bran or sawdust until it was tight and
firm as if carved out of wood or ivory.
Over this was a cover of thin white lawn
OF bolting-cloth, with few small rose
buds embroidered in pink and light
green. The cushion part, when stuffed,
measured 7K inches in length, and not
quite three inches in width. The silk
frill, which was sewed around the edge,
was pinked in sharp points, and was
about 2h inches wide. The lace frill
was the same width, and the small bows
made of long, fiat loops of daisy ribbon
were placed about the edges, as shown
in the drawing.
Another of these cushions was made
of blue satin, with forget-me-nots on
the white cover; and still another,
which was made of yellow silk, had but
tercups embroidered across the top.
Some are made eight-sided, like an
elongated octagon, and we give an il

the world wudn't be no use."
"Thet's SO; thet's So" said Uncle
Jerry, as he rocked slowly back and
forth on the vine-covered porch. "Ef
you want to know what reel friendship
is, you want to watch the dumb cree
turs. 1t seems ez though the very fact
that they can't speak out their feelin's
makes 'em show 'em in their actions
palmer than folks ever can"
We all quieted down and curled our
bare legs under us, for the old man
spoke in that measured, reminiscent
tone we had learned to recognize as
the precursor of q story. 1t should be
known that Uncle Jerry and the Viii
lage Philosopher were the chief be-
guilers of the waking hours of all the
boys in our quiet, western New York
village. The formers stories were
more interesting than those of the most
absorbing book, and the latter's moral
izing was of the eminently practical
kind which appeals even to the boyish
intellect.
When the eager listeners were all in
the circle about the two old men and
had relapsed into complete silence,
Uncle Jerry resumed.
"Love and friendship are sut'nly
Gurus things. Et seems ez though the
more unlike two folks, er two creeturs,
is, the more they think of each other.
You all know how affectionit horse

It's jest the same among the wild ami

fiat about 120 feet long, 20 feet wide
and four deep, and it was without deck
excepting about five feet at each end.
1t was moored one end touching the
shore and th' other out stream. A
narrow gang plank extended from the
fiat TO the shore. and the ticket-takers
were John alias "Red" Leary and Tom
Allen, the st. Louis pugilist. The gang
PLANK was so narrow that only one
person could walk on it at time. Those
who had tickets gained access to the
fat without trouble. There were
good many people who tried to "beat"
their way on board, but very few of
them succeeded. twas case of ticket,

would-be spectators were knocked off
that plank into the water, which was
only knee-deep at the entrance end of
the fiat, and many were the curses and
the threats Of vengeance of those COM
PEELED to take involuntary foot-baths
and their sympathizers. By half-past
twelve o'clock the fiat was so heavily
living-fTeighted that her gunnels at
the outer end were almost down to the
waters edge. Many of those on the
barge were so frightened that they
would have given twice the price of
ticket to be permitted to go ashore,
but they could not get the chance. Just
then along came the tug which was to
tow us to the fighting ground. She
threw line which was fastened to
cleat, and then she backed away, pull
ing us from the shore. AS she did so
the shore end of the fiat, which had been
resting on the shore, sank down two OF
three feet, lurching everyone shore
ward bit. We were packed so closely
together that we could not fall, or we
would. Then the mob of disappointed
"stay behinds" on shore made rush
for the bowlder piles and began ter
rible fusillade at us. For full minute
it fairly rained cobble stones. Nearly
every man on the barge had pistol,
and as quickly as they could be pulled
out, rapid fire was begun shoreward.
