Wellington at Waterloo and Meade
at Gettysburg each held the highlands
against his antagonist. Wellington on
Mont Saint Jean and Meade on Gene
terry Ridge had the birdseye view Of
the forces OF attack. The English bat

batteries on Cemetery Heights COM
manded alike the intervening undula-
tons across which the charging col
umns must advance. Behind Mont
Saint Jean, to conceal Wellington's
movements from Napoleon's eyes. were
the woodlands of SOignes. Behind
Cemetery Ridge, to conceal Meade's
movements from the field glasses OF
Lee, was a sharp declivity. a protecting
and helpful depression. AS the French
under Napoleon at Waterloo. so the
Confederates under Lee at Gettysburg
held the weaker position. In both cases
the assailants sought to expel their OPP
ponents from the stronger lines. I
might add another resemblance In the
results which followed. Waterloo de-
creed the destiny Of France, of Eng

decided the fate of the Confederacy.-

n FOOL WHO O

Horace Gree1ey's First Experience
In New York City.
When Horace Greeley first went to
New York city, q green, awkward
country boy, he met with discourage
ment. For two days he tramped the
streets, visiting two-thirds of the print
ing Offices in the ~ and always re-
ceiving a cold refusal of his services.
His biographer. Mr.. w. A. Linn, says
that by Saturday night Greeley was
satisfied that the city offered him no
hope of a living. He decided to leave
for the country on Monday, before his
last dollar was gone.
1t happened that some acquaintance
of his landlord, who called Oh Sunday,
told him Of an Office where a compos
.itor was wanted. Greeley went there
Monday morning before the place was
open. His appearance was so uncouth
that he would have beef rejected there
also if the foreman had not had diff
Guilty in getting a compositor for a
piece of work he wanted done.
This was setting up a small New
Testament with narrow columns. the
text interspersed with references to
notes marked in Greek and other IN
usual characters. So complicated was
the task and so little could the COM
positor earn at it that several men had
abandoned the work almost as soon as
they had begun it.
The foreman offered the work to
Greeley, believing that in half a day
the boy would prove himself incapable
of performing it. When the proprietor
saw Greeley at work be asked the fore
man why he hired hat fool and said,
PAY him off tonight"
But the foreman did not pay him of.
This boy had worked on a New Eng
land farm, had cut wood in the winter
cold and i'll summe had worked in the
fields under the noon sun. He was not
afraid of toll. He set hat Testament.
When the foreman examined the first
proof he found that Greeley had set
more type and set it better than any
one else who had tried.
