was Metternlch. What could hav» happened? At last the marachall of Schwartienhurg caiue out of the Ini pcrlul chamber*. He spoke a few words to the few Intimates who dared question him. Napoleon had escaped from Klba and was entering I.yons. “The doors swung open and the em press entered on the arm of Kmpernr Alexander. Then came the king of Prussia with the Rmpresa Rllaabeth. In spite of the general emotion, the program was carried out. The confer ence was over, bet the kings danced M* * MUCH LIKE PICHIC How Royalty Engaged In Peact Conference. Oxth«Hng of • Century Ago Had Ltttla Thought of tho Welfare of tho ■Common People” — General Round of Jollity. A French writer, M. Adolphe Aderer, remark* In the Tempa that with tha Aaleer safely stowed away In Amer- ong«*n castle there Is little likelihood o f any disturbance at the Versailles conference comparable to that at Vienna when Napoleon escaped from Klba. Nor la the atmosphere of the two conferences the same. The con gress of Vienna in 1815 was a per petual round of dances, dinners and amusements, whereas "the kaiser's crimes have cast a pall over Ver sailles. The delegates of the demo cratic nations are counting the victims o f the kaiser. There Is no dancing, out of respect for the dead.” It was not like that a hundred and four years ago at the Austrian capital. " I t was an endless series of fetes, ban quets, routs, drives und hunting par ties. Noteworthy uinong osiers wus a general *plcnlc' - * what Americans would call a ‘Dutch' dinner— followed by a ball. The price of the dinuer ticket"» was three Holland ducats, while It cost ten florins to get Into the AwlL The proceeds had first been as signed to buying an Immense silver lump for the holy sepulcher at Jens eulem. Afterwards it was decided to use them for ransoming the Christian •»laves in Barbary. “The dinner was served at the A u » garten, with the famous caterer, Yann, In charge. One hundred and fifty celebrities, including all the kings and emperors present, sat down at a huge table shaped like a horseshoe. Never had so many crowned heads assem bled before a single board. At des sert a page, carrying a vermilion plat ter, went around and collected from each guest the three gold ducats. The giant king of Württemberg vainly rummaged through his pockets. To the delight of everybody he could not 'raise the price.’ The emperor of Rus sia lent him enough to puy the bill. “ Some time afterward the question o f restricting royal prerogatives came ¡up before the conference. The king c f Württemberg flew Into a rage and Jumped to his feet. But his enormous paunch caught under the table, which .upset, with books, papers. Inkwells 'and all. There was an uproar of (laughter. The king called for hls es- "cort and left in a fret for Stuttgart. 'But the loss of one king was hardly noticeable In such a gathering. The -conference lost none of Its splendor thereby. | “ One evening, In March, 1815, the press gave a great hall. Tallyrand, 'always so punctual, was not in evl- d -nee. Wellington was absent. So ! Use of More Horses and Larger Implements Reduces Work of Farm Laborers. COMPARISON OFPLOW CREWS Approximately On* Hour an Acre Laaa of Man Labor la Necessary to Operate Plow Drawn by Three Horace Than by Two. I -Prepared by the United States Depart ment o f Agriculture) I Many fanners are solving the labor problem by using larger Implements anti more horses. Such practices have enabled sugar-beet growers greutly to ' reduce their expenses for man labor I and Increase their operations. The : normal man labor required In growing > sugar beets will vary from 80 to 135 i hours or more an uere. Under uverage conditions, where more horses and larger implements ure used, the inuu labor on machine operations will be reduced approxi mately 25 per cent. A direct comparison of plowing crews In Michigan and Ohio, where conditions under which the work is doue are uniform, shows that approxi mately one hour an acre less of man labor Is necessary to operate a plt/w drawn by three horses than by t » « . With the larger oulfit, as also who* a tractor Is used, a float or pluuk -ran be attached to the plow, and thus the breaking o f a cloddy surface caa be doue with little additional effort or cost. In disking in the Michigan *nd Ohio districts it was found th * a four-horse outfit saves one-quarter of an hour o f man labor an hour over the two-horse equipment. Saving in Sugar Beets. Cultivation of sugar beets furnishes a striking contrast In crew efficiency. In Michigan and Ohio it wus found that 12) mau-bours an acre were re quired to cultivate once over with a one-row Implement, 1.6 mnu-hours with a two-row cultivator, and only .9 of a man-hour for a four-row cultiva tor—a distinct saving In man labor by using the four-row machine. As many r fields require attention before it Is possible for the ¿tower to get the work accomplished, any saving o f la bor and time Is an advantage to the growing crops and ufTords more man lul>or for crops competing with the sugar beet In the distribution of lubor.

There was more of this kind of scenery. Aud more. And more and more.

Those mutilated corpses of towns, with their stark Im mobility, their contorted |>ostures, their shattered members lying rigidly outstretched on the pavement, began to get on tny nerves. They had th» same stiff fixity, the same grotesqu« sprawl that one notes In a human corpse frightfully mungled by a shell. I hud heard of men blown to pieces In battle and uurecugnlzable, even their identification plat«* gone. Here were tlielr counterparts In hamlets.
