POOR HANDWRITING. r
One of the Causes That Downcd Ma
poleon at Waterloo.

One of the Causes That Downed Ma
poleon at Waterloo.
The nose Of Cleopatra had marked
influence on the destinies Of the an
cient world. The handwriting Of Ma
poleon l., we are assured by recent
historians, had a similar effect upon
the evolution Of the modern world.
He did not write; he scrawled. By
reason Of this, among other~ causes, he
lost Waterloo. Grouchy could not read
with exactness his decisive message.
Was it "bataille engage" battle is
on), or "bataille gagnee" (battle is
won)?
Grouchy chose the latter significance
and, not believing it necessary to press
forward, arrived too late. So much for
the curl Of letter, pen stroke or an
fllegible swell to an ga"
This question was brought forward
by the writing master Of the elder
Dumas.
Remember, Alexandra" the master
said to him, "the great defeat Of the
emperor was due only to his scrawling
hand. If you wish to succeed in the
world be careful of your heavy and
your light strokes" So If Napoleon
had known how to write legibly or if
he had taken the trouble to do so his
descendants would reign today in
France and we should not have had
the republic. 1t appears historically
established today that Dumas writing
master was right. And on such slight
things rests the fate of empires.-Cri

RAIN HELPED FARMERS
WHAT AUTHORITY SAYS
Price Current Says While Drought
Has Been Broken the High Standard
of Crops Promised Earlier in Season
Has Been Lowered.

Cincinnati, o., May 31.-Price Cur.
rent says:
The breaking of the drought the
past week by general rainfall, has
afforded important relief to growing
crops. but ills apparent that the high
promise earlier in the season has been
materially lowered. Wheat is heading
out on short straw and to what ex-
tent the crop will be curtailed it is
impossible to say at this time. The
recent rains have been beneficial to
the oat crop, which has amde some
improvement, but it cannot be expect
ed that the early drawbacks, attend
overcome. The corn crop still admits
of good possibilities, but is irregular
incident to slow termination, delaying
planting and necessary replanting
The low temperatures at the close of
the week have not been favorable for
this crop but the rains will prove ben.
eficial.
A notable exception in the general
situation, is that in Iowa, weather con
ditions have been favorable and all
crops are regarded as in encouragine
and satisfactory position in that
State.
The hay crop has suffered by the
dry weather and that it will be short
is apparent. Pastures will improve
