— ■ • • A hey as a fighter Napoleon Called His Marshal the “Bravest Man I Ever Saw.” THE RETREAT FROM MOSCOW. Where the Heroic Commander With a Mere Handful of Man aa a Rear Guard Pall Back, Facing the Fee. Minor Heroaa of the Groat Confliat. Three towering personalities entne to the clinch on the field of Waterloo. There ure perhaps n half dozen names remembered In connection with that epoch making battle, but they are little more than names; only Bluecher, Na poleon and Wellington have contrived to outlive the memory of their contem poraries. Yet there were some at Waterloo who trere not only brave fighters, but vastly Interesting Individuals, and It Is more than unfortumite thut they should have suffered eclipse. There Is perhaps one exception. One cannot scratch the his tory surrounding nny of the three great commanders who met nt Waterloo with out encountering Michael Ney. Napo leon's "bravest of the brave." It Is impossible to think of Ney ex cept In superlatives. It Is Impossible to collect dry facts about him; the tem per that matched his hair smolders through and sets them ablaze. Even Napoleon, always so unpleasantly eager to shift the blame for failure to other shoulders, wrote from the solitude of St Helena, "Ney was the bravest man I ever saw." One of bts officers once asked him If be ever felt fear. "Never had time," was the curt reply. The tales of bis daring, bis hair breadth escapes, his unbelievable In difference to shot and shell, are legion. He was always calmest in time of the greatest peril, and It was this qual ity that Napoleon appreciated. Again and again France and the crown were In Michael Ney's hands. Whenever Nnpoleou saw that the issue of a bat tle turned on a single point he sent Ney to that point. At the battle 6f Bautzen the emperor lay on the ground which is sheltered by a height from the town. He heard Ney’s gum; on the left A bomb burst over his head. Me sat down and wrote Mario Louise that the victory was gained, lie waited only to loam thnt Ney was where the crisis turned to be sure of victory. But the most dramatic chapter of this gallant fighter's life is that headed "The Retreat from Moscow." Meis- souler might better have painted the rear of the Corsican's army than the van. Me would have bad a more ap pealing, a more gallant subject in Mi- | chael Ney, retreating with bis face to the enemy. With a more handful of men lie Hung himself between the flee ing French and the Russian army and hacked slowly, stubbornly from Mos cow. This Is the man who a little later was publicly shot as a traitor to France. Ney’s fellow marshal. Grouchy, does not fare so well. Grouchy was a loyal French patriot, and he had a record of engagement In 200 battles, which of fered copious proof that he was no coward. But light headed, irresolute, vacillating he surely was. The Water loo mistake Is merely a repetition of earlier failures of judgment. One of the most interesting of the minor heroes of Waterloo was the sol dier-musician Graf Friedrich Wil helm Buelow. He had been thrown a little In the shade by the vehement personality of his chief, Bluecher, and the Intrepid Gneisenau. But the man who at the head of his 30.000 emerged «t 1 o’clock In the afternoon of June 18, 1815, from the wood of St. Arrnand and turned the tide of the battle of Waterloo stands out as a romnntic fig ure. Probably no one of Germany’s brave fighters of that racking period, excepting not even "Old Forward” himself, was so well loved, so vigor ously admired, as Friedrich Bnelow. He was a gentleman and a man of well seasoned culture. But to find the most truly pictur esque in the group of lesser generals at Waterloo one must go over to the English side. “As rough, foul mouthed a devil as ever lived,” said Wellington himself of Sir Thomas Plcton. “But," he added, “no man could do better In the different services assigned to him." He alwuys carried a stick to tap on the horse's mane when he felt over im patient and wave In the air to em phasize his commands. Sometimes be carried an umbrella, as at Vlttoria, where he used It to beat Wellington’s butler over the head. The unfortunate ffl an was escorting the headquarters baggage and got In the march of Pie- ton's division. The visitor to the field of Waterloo, oven though he know little of the per sonality of this fine old fighter, feels a thrill when the guide says. “Here Plcton fell." There could be no sharper contrast to Tom Plcton than Sir Rowland Hill. The mild eyed, sweet tempered, ruddy cheeked general, soon to become the tuost influential politician In Europe. * as the complete picture of an English country gentleman.—Chicago Herald. LOVE LINKED WITH DEATH. Where Women Propose and if Reject ed Must Kill Themculvee. In the Pacific ocean, betweeu FIJI, New Guinea, New Caledonia and the continent of Australia, lies the Meluue- sinu group of Islands, where head hunt ers and cannibals abound. Strange and grewsome as are many uf the cus toms qf the tribes, there, are some thjit are most romantic. For distance, on the Island of Tucoptu the womeu pro pose marriage Instead of the men. When a girl of Tueopln sees a man whom she thinks she would like to hove for her husband she does not rush up to him and ask him to marry her. On the contrary, she gives tlio subject deep thought nnd oftou the man a most careful Investigation be fore she "pops the questiou." The rcu- son Is thut his answer spells life or death to her. It Is a tribal law that any woman who has been refused must forthwith kill herself. Therefore u woman asks a man’s band only when she feels sure thnt hts answer will be tbe hap py one. Many are the strange and seemingly inexplicable questions with which the womeu of Tucopiu ply the strnuger who. cannot realize the personal mo tive back of the solicitude of theduHky belles who Inquire if ho Is married or not nnd tbe stato or his wife's health. Romances ure consequently very apt to turn out In happy murrlagu. But there have been Innumerable In stances when n poor girl, smitten by the newcomer’s charms, hns been com pelled to kill herself because the man with w hom she has fallen In love has had to refuse to marry her. Baldness with the women of Tueopln Is a sign of beauty, and never until she Is bald docs a Tueopln woman be come fully convinced that she Is really lovely. But, bald or not, she takes great care whom she asks to marry her. for the tribnl law has never been known to fall. If u rejected woman does not kill herself she Is executed under the most dishonorable conditions by the leaders of the tribe.—Buffalo News. LIKE A MONEY TREE. Simple and Profitable Scheme of a Konge Trading Company. The possibilities of a ronlly enter prising trading company are realized at Klfiku, central Africa, where the Kongo Oriental company owns all stores, where money can he spent nnd fixes Its own prices for Ivory, rubber, labor and trade goods. “It was ns If by-planting a few francs In the groiipd money bearing trees had sprung Into existence." The lucrative procedure Is explained In James Bnrnes’ "Through Central Africa." “As soon as a native was paid cash for anything, either as an advance or for services rendered, he hastened hot. foot to the company’s stores nnd bought anything from n bnrmonlcon to a secondhand gold braided uniform, nnd ns the profit In these articles ran from 100 to 250 per cent It can easily be seen where the money trees come In. "The man who hml brought In Ivory was paid for It In cash at a rnte thnt Insured a profit of about 150 per cent and Immediately he repaired to the store, where he bought tilings he had no use for, giving another profit of cent per cent nt least. The money was sent from the store to the company's offices, where the native wns paid for carrying the Ivory on the first stage of Its long Journey to the coast. The money received was the same that hnd been paid for the Ivory In the first place, nnd the bearer would surely come back nnd spend Ids wages at the store again. ‘It win a lovely system, and the only real chance for loss was the wear and tear on tile money Itself nnd the expeime of bookkeeping. If tbe native demanded an extra price for Ivory or labor there was very little trouble made over It—tbe extra cost wns ndd- ed to the articles In the store." ESSENTIALS OF PITCHING. First Comes Control, Then Knowledge of a Batter’s Weakness. "Control is tile thing," suy all the great pitchers, aud nil the great pitch ers agree that a study of the batsman is next in importance. There are cer tain batters who can punish certain kinds of balls, while against n differ ent style of pitching they are corre spondingly weak. If a batter likes a fast ball at the waist lino it becomes tlie duty of the wise pitcher never to give him a ball to liis liking. Perhaps be is weak on a curve ball at the knee on the outside. The foxy pitcher makes a specialty of offering him that kind of delivery In abundance. In de ckling what is best to pitch to the va rious batters a brainy catcher is of wonderful assistance. Then, too. the pitcher must study situations. When he divines that a sacrifice is the play it is usually the best plan to keep the ball high. Such a ball is harder to meet squarely, while It is almost Impossible to give it definite direction. On n low ball the skillful hunter can usually place it to ward first or third, as Is desired. For batters who have a tendency to pull away pitchers usually keep the bnll on the outside, mostly depending on the curve. Seldom do batters who pull meet such bulls squarely. As a rule they hit fast balls on tbe inside hard. The batter who hugs the plate closely and steps into the bnl! Is bothered most by a fast ball on the Inside, as It lias a tendency to make him meet, the ball on the handle, thereby losing most of the force be puts Into the swing. The pitcher must also take into con sideration the position of hia infield and must know who Is covering the base on a throw, so that he may pitch to aid hls infielders.—Billy Evans In St Nicholas. New York’* First Ferry. Cornelius Dlreksen was the first offi clal ferryman on the Island of Manhat tan.
