WATERLOO.
The ImmutabIity Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.


Battlefield.
One of the most striking features OF
visit to the battlefield of Waterloo
today is the immutability of the entire
scene in which one of the greatest bat
ties of history took place. Notwith.
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable day of
June is, 1915, the entire scene of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide of battle surged
the tercest, save for the necessary res
torations of the damage they sustain.
ed In the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any encroachment
of building or progress marred the his.
toric field.
The battlefield of Waterloo is an
open, undulating stretch of good farm
ing land. On the day of the battle the
greater part of it was covered with
crops of rye, wheat, barley and oats,
and the same crops are still grown
there each season. The field is inter
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont st. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay in the center of both
armies, led south to Genappe, Char.
Ieroi and Namur. Upon the crest Of
the ridge which formed the first of the
allied positions crossroad runs east
and west. This road on aDnroachinr

now stands. ran through a cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and it was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow

WON ON A BLUFF.
The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.

There is a prosperous merchant IN
Chicago today who owes his success to
his donation of $1,000 organ 20 a
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy a hand organ.
This donation was a case of bluff pure
and simple. but the blum worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth o.
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capita. TO
start in business for himself, hr; as he
had no security worth speaking of he
could not borrow the moaey he needed
When he had tried every person he
could thinl; @: who would he likely to
have the necessary cash and the incli-
nation to lend 1t and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea of present
ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look ont for itself. The man
ufacturers of the organ never thought
OF questioning the financial standing
OF the phllanthrOpist who was handing
out 5000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up In the church on
time.
OF course j. Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficence under bushel
lie managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
OF conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member of the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an office and be
fore he left casually would mention the
subject of the company that he was
forming. Most of the men that he thus
saw thought that it would be a good
thing to be associated with q man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out $1,000 without
missing it, so that all were anxious 10
take stock in j. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing so we'll he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
well.-Chicago Tribune.
Cannibaiism.
In the gulf of California is Tuburon
island, where cannibals live to this day.
White men have been able to land
there and get away, but not one Of |
those who have ventured inland has

until the white man has colonized the |
farthest ends of the world that canni- |

period is yet long time away.-Lon-

OF all the outlandish fashions which
the present season has ushered in the
wearing of lizard skin hats for the

skins are mostly from South America.

Next Saturday, February
%, is Washington's Birthday
and National Holiday.
Next to Easter Sunday,
Washington's Birthday is
the biggest day of the
Spring Season at Atlantic
City; and as it occurs on
Saturday this year it offers
an exceptional opportunity
for an over-Sunday outing,
or a longer stay, at the
great American resort.
There is much to attract
and to enjoy at Atlantic City
at all seasons of the year.
The great boardwalk with
its rolling chairs and its
commanding view of the
oceans sweep is always
there. The piers with their
music, the great hotels with
their social life, the out-of-
door exercise are all peren-
NAL attractions.
The increasing popularity
of Atlantic City is accentu-
ated by its accessibility. 1t
is less than five hours from
Washington by the fast ex-
press trains of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad.
