ONE MISTAKE OF Won MoLKE
Which Was Proved by the Famou!
Siege of Plevna.

Which Was Proved by the Famous
Siege of Plevna.
The Russians recognized the stategic
Importance Of Plevna a moment too
late. On July IS, 1877, General Krud-
ener, at Nicopolls, received orders to
occupy Plevna at once. He seems to
have moved promptly, but long before
he could arrive Osman's tired but dog
ged battalions were already in the
position.
The Turkish regular of that day
must have resmbled very closely his
fellow Of the present. Won Moltks
who knew the Turks we'll and whose
remarkable mind clearly outlined and
prophesied the result of several more
recent Balkan campaigns, said: IAN
impetuous attack may be expected
from the Turks, but not an obstinate
and lasting defense Historically,
the opinion of the great German field
marshall seems very curious. Even in
the late war between Greece and Tur-
key the attacks of the Turkish troops
were usually anything but impetuous.
They were fearless, but very leisurely
In regard to the lasting and obstinate
defense, one has only to regard the
seige of Plevna to understand that
Won Moltke was for the moment writ
ing carelessly.
After Plevna, the word went forth
that the most valuable weapon Of the
Turk was his shovel. When Osman
arrived, the defenses of Plevna con-
sisted of an ordinary blockhouse, but
he at once set his troops at work dig
cling intrenchments and throwing UP
redoubts which were located with
great skill. Soon the vicinity Of the
town was one great fortress. Osman
cody was attempting to stem the Rus
sian invasion with force of these
strange Turkish troops, patient, en-
during sweet tempered and ignorant,
dressed in slovenly overcoats and
sandals, living on a diet Of
black bread and cucumbers. -Stephen

| others.
| The chief business of each and all o.
our few days of pioneering was house
wifery, Our duties We're extremely
simple--a little sweeping Of bare floors
little bed-making, a-llttle dish-wash
ing. We did our best to make then
hard by washing out the dish-oowls af.
ter each meal and hanging them Cir
old-settler fashion, we Judged, on the
front porch to dry, and by elaborate
cooking We even cast longing eyes
upon the floor, but, being somewhat un-
certain as to how our hermit host might
take the process refrained from scrub
bling.
The preparation Of meals was always
an exciting time. We felt like musicians
improvising with many variations, upon
the same there. The element Of I'M
certainty in the results gave just the
pioneer spice which tickled our appe-
titles. Chops we learned to conquer;
eggs-with a wood fire-never. The
making of toast was a long process of
charming, ending usually in burst Of
temper, with resort to an asbestos plate
over an alcOnOl lamp.
Perhaps our most striking menu was
the following:
Stewed cucumbers on toast.
Dreamed bacon ("aux ashes'D and new
potatoes
Gin their jackets.)
Lettuce and young onions.
Wild Strawberries.
Coffee.
The creamed bacon had history
When fried brown and crisp it was
carefully disposed on one of the log
rests to sizzle slowly until 1t was time
to make the cream dressing. OF course
somebody knocked it over into the
ashes. What should we do? There
was no more bacon In the Cave we
had eaten our last chop. Should we
thus tamely give up the main feature Of
our dinner? Not so. We carefully
flshed out the pieces one by one, washed
them thoroughly, returned to the frying
pan and dreamed according to recipe.
The slight flavor of wood ashes which
still lowered about the dish was voted
delicious
What did we do? Aside from house
hold duties-chiefly nothing. We dozed
in the hammocks or on the grass,
dreamed under the trees, lost ourselves
in the wilds, fought mosquitoes and
bathed in Black Creek AT night we
left the doors open, built huge fires and
sat around them in a circle, almost too
happy even to tell stories. In this way
we used up all Mr.. Burroughs gener-
oIs supply of cut wood, so, taking down
the saw, we ourselves attacked the cut
tree trunks, and, converting them into
loge of the proper length, dragged them
up to our hearth. Some of us sawed in
quite the professional manner.
On our last day in the backwoods it
was almost with tears that we put the
key back into the chink. Strewing the
road with bits of pink mountain laurel,
Of which we had far more than we
could carry, we made7pur way to the
station, depositing our superfuous
bread as a gift at The farm. We were

Outraged by kindness to assume more

1t is never attempted to teach the
ponies any special tricks, the sole pur-
pose being to make them useful,
tractable, and safe. When pony is
sold the purchaser is recommended to
be kind and considerate to it at all
times.
The ponies in the barns are kept
there to supply immediate demands.
They are groomed and trained and
kept accustomed to harness so that
they may be ready to leave at any
time. The greater number of ponies
are kept out Of doors all Winter, and
are taken into the barns only in the
most extreme weather, as were those
in the barns before they were selected
for sale.
There are broad fields where the turf
even in Winter Is beautiful. In the
Winter great racks are kept supplied
with crisp corn fodder and immense
straw stacks afford shelter from the
wind and rain. All parts OF the pre-
misses are kept clean and healthful.
When the ponies are permitted to re-
main out oil Winter an astonishing
growth Of hair appears This thick
coat of hair is heavy and long, and
then the pony is far from beautiful.
But when the warmth of Spring comes
the little creatures throw of their
Winter clothing and appear smooth
and shiny in their new Spring attire.

tom Thumb" He was imported
from Shetland Islands ten years ago,
and is now fourteen. He is coal black
and Is as dainty and vivacious as can
be imagined. Dozens Of ponies are
imported from Shetlandevery year.
This is made necessary because the
succeeding generations Of ponies are
larger than their progenitors, which
result is attributed to the salubrious
climate Of this country as compared
with the native home Of the ponies

French plan of the battle, perhaps the
only one made by French officers, and
two sketches made on the field on the
day of battle, one by the aide-de-camr
Of Wolfe the other representing the
British general at the head Of his
army
Everyone of these plans and maps
shows conclusively that no part of the
battle of 1859, that decided the fate of
New France, was fought upon the
ground now known as the Plains OF
Abraham. The original title deeds OF
the property have been found and
traced, and show that the present sup
posed site of the battlefield never form
ed part Of the original Plains of Abra-
ham and never belonged to "Maitre

Of the plans indisputably show that
the battle of the Plains was fought
very much nearer to the walls OF the
city than the supposed site now point

struggle. 1t all occurred far upon the
city side of the monument bearing the
inscription, Here died Wolfe victori-

breathe his last.
The absence from Canada of the inn

ground, drawn at the time Of, the
fight, and the subsequent building over
o ia good part Of the historic ground,
no doubt contributed to the erroneous
traditions of late years respecting the
site of the battle. These traditions
were encouraged by the blunders Of
Hawkins and other historians Of half
to three-quarters of a century ago, who
took for the ruins of old French re-
doubts known to have been erected on
the battlefield the remnants of English
works, shown clearly upon the newly
found plans to have been erected by
the British in rear of the battlefield i'm

their lines of communication with the
