OBITUARY..

On May 10Th the death angel
visited the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard Watson, of Lebanon and
took from them their oldest son,
FINS. His death was due to con-
sumption. He was on his return
from New Mexico where he had
been to try to regain his health.
Finis A. Watson was married to
Miss Ida Yates, November 10Th
1902. To this union were born two
children, both of which have been
called to Him who said Suffer
little children to come unto me. )"
Tha oldest child died just four
months before, and the youngest,
one month after the death of their
father. A while before he died
he called his loved ones to his
bedside, babe them good bye, and
asked them to meet him in heaven
We would say to his loved ones;
weep not as those who have no
hope, for Finis is now with friends
in heaven, singing songs of
praise to Christ, waiting and
watching for loved ones to come.
May we all live to meet him,
Our sympathy goes out to his
many friends and relatives, and
especially to his bereaved wife,
but our loss is his eternal gain.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev, Prather, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in the
Lebanon cemetery.
On that bright and cloudless morning,
When the dead in Christ shall rise;
We shall meet to sing forever
In that home beyond the skies.
There we'll meet our long gone loved
ones,
On that happy golden shore;
And we'll see our blessed savior;
And His holy name adore.
A FRIEND.

THE HOUSE
Of DEATH

CINCINNATI, o.. July 30
The Chateau lie Morte, or the House
Of Death, is to be one Of the features
Of the Fall Festival to be held in
his city fro mAug. % 10 Sept. 20,
and a more unique conception would
be hard to find.
It viii be place where all sorts
of drinks VIII be served. But
there is not where the peculiarly
lies. The front of the structure
NIL resemble huge human skull
and cross bones and wierd, red
light viii shine in each eye-socket.
inside, the tables will be coffin
shaped and at the head. Of each will
be the regulation glass top. Under
this the grinning face Of human
skull viii be peering through at the
visitor as he or she partakes of re-
freshments. About the walls, the
same effect viii be carried out,
grinning skulls leering and smirk-
ing on all sides.
The crovning effect, however, will
be had in feature in which the
guests themselves viii participate.
At one end of the room viii be
small platform. Any one who so
desires may stand upon this and as
the Others look on, the person will
gradually fade from sight and little
BY little the outlines Of a human
skeleton will appear. Finally the
man or woman has entirey disap-
peared and the bones are in plain
view. Then the reincarnation takes
places, slowly as before, and when
complete the visitor steps down and
joins his party, alive, smiling and
happy. - -
The waters Of this uncanny place
must wear grave clothes. They will
each have on long black robes COM
monty called shrouds. They must
never speak, even when taking or
ders.
This house or as it viii be called,
@Chateau lie N1orte," will be in
Washington Park, part of the Fall
Festival grounds. Other things
quite as odd in their way viii be

WATERLOO.
Grouchy was Solely to blame Fol
the DoWnHan OF Napoleon.

Grouchy Was Solely to blame For
the DovynEan OF Napoleon.
Napoleon would have won the battle
Of Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
the junction of the PrussIans with the
English army, because he would not
have had to fight two battles at once.
Few persons realize that the so called
battle Of waterloo was in reality a
double battle, somewhat like Jena and
Auerstadt. Napoleon fought one bat
tie ut Waterloo against the English.
On the arrival OF the Prussians lie was
forced to 90 in person toward Planche-
mott and there fight another battle
against the Pfussian army. leaving to
Ney The conduct Of the troops at Wa
tcrlpo. u Is Il well known maxim in
war that q very great or decisive vic
tory cannot Iie gained unless one com
man Les makes Il serious bluuder OF
VIII III the cher takes inmcd!ute ad-
vantE e. II IS very evident that the
fact aC the emperor having 10 fight
two battles ut oucc instead of Concen-
trHtiug his attention on one alone enor-
mously increased the possibility of
mistake. Moreover. Napoleon did not
have the able llcutenants of his former
campaign DcsaiN. I[leber, Lannes
and Bessicscs were dead, AIassena and
Macedonia! L7l taken the oath OF ale
glance 10 Tire Bourbons. and AIurat had
split with the emperor. Napoleon's
personal attention was therefore i'm
pcra tive. To Grouchy alone all blame
must be attributed. FOR had he prevent
ed the union of the Prussians with the
English the emperor would have had
to f=ht only one hattIe Mt time and
couid have givcn lis entire personal
n tn thur hattie
In the second place. Napoleon would
not have been forced TO fight with H.
94T men against two armies numbering
about 125,OOO-ncarly two 10 one
against him. He would have had H.
94T good soldiers pitted against a raw.
undisciplined army Of GT.GG1 men I'M
der the Duke of wellinEto which was
not only Inferior in mere numbers. but
far inferior In morale and experience.
The chances would have been greatly
in favor OF the French. Then, too. the
French army was commanded by the
acknowledged master of modern war
fare, whose brilliant successes at RI
volt. AIarengo, Austerlitz. Jena. Fried
land. Wagram, the Borodino and Ores
den had dazzlcd the whole world. Tn
til then Napoleon had never been de-
feated IN any great decisive battle eS-
cept LeipsIc. and the French were
strong in their confidence of the en-
peror's success. Two of the best writ
ers on the Waterloo campaign. Shaw
Kennedy and Sibournc both English
men. concur in saying that had Grouchy
kept the PruSsians away the English
army would have been badly beaten.
This view IS also held by the ahlest
writer of all. Mr.. Ropes.-United Serv-
ice s-Gy+ewF:
