WATERLOO THEN AND NOW.

Ninety-nine years ago last June the
battle Of Waterloo was fought. 1t is,
OF course one of the most famous Of
battles, and 1t has been listed as one
of the fifteen decisive battles of the
world. that is, one Of the few battles
which resulted directly in important
changes in the worlds history, and
one which, had the victory been gain
ed by the other side, would have re-
suited in equally important world
changes in the opposite direction.
Napoleon had made his escape from
Elba, had been received with acclama-
tons by the French people, and had
placed himself at the head Of an ar
my of about 10000 seasoned vete-
rams, and an army said by many mil
itary experts to have been the finest
army eve assembled. Wellington,
with a cosmopolitan army of British
and Netherlanders, numbering ap-
proximately 100, 900, was prepared to
resist the onward march of the tri-
umphant emperor, and had massed his
army in the Belgian country. Bluch-
er. at the head Of another 100000
Prussians. co-operated with yelling
ton. These numbers are approximate;
exact numbers cannot be obtained.
Because Of the character Of the en-
gagements during the day Of Waterloo
and for the few days preceding, and
the fact that the same troops were in
some cases engaged in several battles,
no two authorities agree as to the
above numbers. however, are close
enough for all practical purposes.
During the Sunday on which Wa
terloo was fought. Napoleon had about
$4,000 men directly engaged in the
battle. Grouchy was away with a
considerable force trying to head off
the advance of Butcher, who was max
ing all possible haste to Wellington's
relief. Wellington's force was slight
ly superior to Napoleon's. The story
of the battle is familiar to every school
boy. All through the hot June day
the fight ragged. Napoleon's splendid
troops dashed themselves to pieces
against the stubborn resistance of
the British regiments. Evening came
with both sides exhausted, but the
French were disorganized, and the
splendid army had already begun to
break to pieces when Butcher arrived
on the scene with his fresh troops, and
the defeat became a rout. Napoleon
lost 10000 men, and the allies about
$4,000.
Just now another great battle Is be-
ing fought in the immediate vicinity
of Waterloo. Instead of being the
close of a campaign, 1t IS but the be-
ginning. No one outside Of expert
military circles knows even approx
mately how many men are engaged,
but it is certain that the total num-
Der strung along the line on which
the two hostile armies face each 9TH
er would make the combined forces
Of Waterloo look like a c%orporal's
guard. The English alone have some
where in the field a body Of some 1907
600 men, and this is but a small aux
Hilary force designed to reinforce the
main armies of France and Belgium.
Germany has undoubtedly close to a
million men in the field, and the
greater number of these are facing
the French frontier. France has an
army nearly as large, and the main
strength Of hat army faces the Ger
man foe.

SOME PECULIAR SHORTAGES.

1t seems strange that apples should
be shipped nearly three thousand
miles when better ones can be raised
more cheaply right at home. yet this
is one of the peculiar conditions
which exists in the raising and mar
keting of food products on his con-
tinent. The great city Of New York.
by all odds the best market in Amer
lea, gets practically all its fine apples
from the Pacific coast. And yet there
Is no place in the world where finer
apples can be raised more cheaply
and easily than in the belt which
takes in the greater part of the state
Of New York. all of southern Ontario,
and southern Michigan. And carload
after carload Of Pacific apples, beau
tiful to look upon, but not to be com
pared with the eastern fruit in flavor,
is shipped right through this great
apple territory to the New York mar
ket for the simple reason that we
eastern growers have been persistently
neglecting one of the opportunities
of their lives.

pies grown and marketed in the east,
but the practice is not general. The
orchards there are, for the most part,
, the orchards which were planted two
or three generations ago. The trees
have been permitted to run wild, they
are never pruned. the ground under
them is not cultivated, and insect
pests Of all kinds are permitted to
work their will with the fruit, the re-
suit being that in thousands of ORCH
ards every apple is wormy, and prac-
tically every apple falls to the ground
imperfectly ripened. The land which
those trees occupy does not command
ards that is expended on the western
fruit land. If the business of apple
growing were systematized in the east
as it is in the west, and If anything
like the labor were put on the ORCH
ards that is expended o nthe western
tracts, those eastern people would
have a gold mine, and they are throw.
ing their opportunity away.
The whole food situation is peculiar.
The Herald talked recently to a re-
turned visitor from Ontario, and
learned of some Of these peculiarities.
That section is right in the center of
one Of the finest stock, dairying and
small farming districts in the east
Butter retails at 80 cents a pound,
and eggs at % cents a dozen, and both
are difficult to obtain at n price.
Dairy butter is, n many places, prac-
tically unknown, this being due to the
fact that the farmers either dispose
of their milk to cheese factories or
their rean to creameries, and these
factories prefer to market in bulk,
thus leaving the local communities,
and especially the residents of small
villages, practically without supplies
OF this character. In the same terri
tory there was noted also a shortage
of garden vegetables. Villagers want
these things, and are able and willing
to pay good prices for them, but for
some reason or other nobody seems In
terested in meeting the demand.

Unusual Requests Of Fargo
Couple Who are Unable
to Give up Habit.

Fargo. y. D., Feb. 17.-Nictims OF
a drug habit which they have been
unable to break, Mr.. and Mrs. W. L.
Brown have made application to the
county court here to be committed
to the state asylum for the insane.
Although this is the first case of the
kind which has ever come up in North
Dakota Judge A. G.. Hanson said that
1t is probable the application will be
granted when it comes UP for hearing
before the court,
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, who are mid
die aged people, came to Fargo from
Montana. Both we're school teachers
at the time of their marriage and
Brown taught school until he Vas in
tured in a runaway. According to the
story told the court, which has been
verified, Brown was given opium by
the physician who attended him fol-
lowing the accident and thus became
addicted to h use Of the drug. His
wife also became a user of the drug.
Since coming to Fargo Brown has
been in the employ Of q railroad com
pany. He avs that both himself and
wife have attempted to break them
selves of the drug habit but have
failed. The county physician will
recommend the commitment of the
couple on the ground that the drug
is a form Of insanity.
