SAVED BY A GYPSY.

W n r o f 1N06.
An incident of the A ustro-Prussian
war of 180‘G was told as follows by the
Archduke Joseph: "On our retreat be­
fore the advance of the Prussian
army,” said the archduke, “we camped
in the neighborhood of a Bohemian
town. I was lodged in a peasant’s cot­
tage when about midnight I heard the
sentry challenging some * newcomer.
My adjutant entered and reported th a t
a gypsy wanted to see me in private.
A soldier (a gypsy) entered, and on my
asking what was the m atter he told me
that the enemy w as approaching to
surprise us.
“ ‘The outposts have not heard any­
thing suspicious,' I said. ‘No. your
highness, because the enemy is still a
long way off.’ ‘But how do you know
tills?' I asked. ‘Come to the window,
your highness,’ answered the man. ‘Do
you see those birds flying over the
wood toward the south?’ ‘Yes, I see
them. What, then?’ ‘What, then? Do
not birds sleep as well as men? They
certainly would not fly about if they
were not disturbed. The enemy is
marching through the wood and has
frightened all those birds.’
“ ‘Very well, my lad. You can go.’
I at once ordered the outposts to be re­
enforced and the camp to be alarmed.
An hour later the outposts were light­
ing with the enemy, and our camp was
only saved by the keen observation of
a simple gypsy.”

Santa Anna was the greatest military
loader the Mexicans have ever known.
Santa Anna with 25,000 veterans went
to the battle of Buena Vista with the
avowed purpose of exterminating the
entire army of the United States, and
there was no doubt in the mind of
Santa Anna that this great feat could
be accomplished with comparative
case. General Taylor, with his 5,000
men. prepared for the unequal contest,
and not only defended himself success­
fully, but won a substantial victory
from bis aggressive antagonists and
drove them from tne battlefield of
Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought
and the Mexican war concluded Gen­
eral Taylor was criticised for having
made no preparations for the retreat
of his army in the event of defeat.
General Taylor promptly replied: “I
made every preparation necessary for
the battle of Buena Vista. I wrote my
will, and so did nearly every man in
my army. If we bad not won that
battle, we would have needed no lines
of retreat. It was, from our stand­
point, victory or annihilation. The only
preparation necessary for the contin­
gency of defeat at Buena Vista was
that we should write our wills.”

One tiling stands as a sure proof that
woman is an amiable creature, easily
pleased and satisfied with her lot. And
that is that when she buys a dress
ready made she rejoices because it is
much better and cheaper than fussing
to have it made. And when she lias
it made herself she wonders why peo­
ple over get tilings ready made when
one can have clothes made "Just as one
