Mothers day was more generally

day in the local churches.
Nine out Of every ten men were
wearing carnations yesterday, either
red or white. in memory Of their moth

problem there, for the workingmen eat
cake. Making the best of things is
simply to eat cake.
The small american boy had the
right idea. When he was bad his
mother used to shut him In a dark
closet to stay until he became a good
boy. Being the healthy offspring of a
nervous and overconscientious mother,
he spent more or less time in the
closet daily. One day a neighbor, wit
tion. took advantage of his mother s
absence from the room to sympathize
with him. To that the boy replied:
"Oh. l don't mind. I've got some toys
hidden In the closet, and I've made up
dark"
That's a good idea. Get some toys
hidden away in the dark places and
see what good time is possible, once
you adopt the policy of eating cake.
Even broken ,oys will pass In the
dark. There's quantity of damaged
toys Iylng about everywhere that have
not lost their usefulness by any means.

What is really needed more than
anything else these days Is a touch of
the poet.
There tumbled from the dusty shelves
OF a secondhand book dealer on 11th
street the other day a set of Alexander
Dumas, complete in ten volumes.
In the course of the ten volumes
Dumas graphically describes the great
hunger that Napoleon had for a poet.
He was never satisfied with hts or
anybodys achievements. because there
was no poet to ennoble his reign. His
ministers and agents everywhere were
under explicit instructions from him
always to be on the outlook for bud
ding poet, and any young man who
produced any kind Of creditable verses,
whether to springtime. to the snow, or
to love, was quickly pounced upon and
lugged off to Napoleon, who gave him
a pension and watched and waited for
him to become great.
But 1t was ever the same story. Most
all the birds will sing at early dawn"
and Napoleon's pensioned poets as the
day advanced proved to be swallows.
not larks or nightingales. Thus the
great general went to his grave still
hunger for his poet. Then Victor
Hugo came. Had Napoleon only thought
of eating cake-that is. had he depended
less on his sword and his crown-he
might have had his fill Of poetry, per-
haps. But anyhow. after his wars and

done. the poet appeared. Proba bly, the

cher eludes his pursuers and retreats

own shadow to GembIouX. Meanwhile
Napoleon, wroth at Ney. turns his at

steadily back toward Brussels.
But Wellington has surveyed the sur
rounding country with the eyes of a
great general. He is small of stature
like Napoleon, but he is no stranger
to the field of battle. and he is known
as the Iron Duke" He knows he must

Marshal Ney will get behind Blucher
even while he is making a feint at
Wellington to drive him back toward
Brussels. and when the Prussians
break. as they surely will. not a man
of the Prussian army will escape; he
will grind them between his legions.
and Wellington and his English will
then have their turn after Blucher is
annIhilated.
This is two days before Waterloo, and
Wellington and Blucher are trying to
bring their armies together to with
stand the shock of the French, with
Napoleon and his imperial guard.
But Ney fails to get behind Blucher
as he has been ordered. The English
hold him engaged at Quatre-Bras. and
he does not move as the master mind
has planned. The emperor SENDS a
courier to Ney, telling him the fate of
France Is in his hands. But still Ney
does not move into his position. Too
late: Blucher Is beaten at Ligny and
starts his retreat, but there is no Ney
behind him with his French corps to
the retreating Prussians.
Blucher gets away in the night, and,

the emperor's orders. he does not quit
Gembloux until 10 o'clock i'll the morning
Now he learns definitely that Blucher Is
supposed to be at Wavre, and he is prone
to march in that direction. He hears
the tremendous thunder OF the cannon at
Waterloo, and his generals beg of him to
make all haste in that direction to sup
port the emperor
Cen Excelmans points out that the
emperor must be heavily engaged. since
such tremendous cannonade could not
possibly be a minor engagement, but
Napoleon's courier of the early morning
has not found Grouchy, and his orders
have been to follow Blucher He wavers,
and finally sets out for Wavre, where
Blucher has left only his rear guard,
while with his main force, 10000 strong,
he has gone to Waterloo to support Wei
1ington.
Wellington is beaten and his army
should be in retreat. but he does not be-
lieve it, and although torn and shattered,
there they stand. a thin red line. From
the hill of Rossome Napoleon learns for
the first time, and too late, the fiber OF
these British infantrymen. Why does
Grouchy not come? From Waterloo they
hear the roar of battle at st. Lambert,
and believe that Grouchy may be there.
or almost there, to take Bulow from his
rear.
AS night draws on the English army
is in most desperate straits. and Wei
lington is heard to say: Would to God
that night or Blucher would come The
French army is little better off, and the
battle has turned into strength-e -ebbing
