Herr Won Bismarck had Il shoemaker
who had often broken faith with him.
despite his most solemn promises, and
he at length resolved to put stop to
this sort of thing. One morning at 3
O'Clock messenger was dispatched to
the dilatory shoemaker with the simple
question: Are Herr Won Bismarck's
boots ready?' Being answered in the
negative the messenger departed, but in
ten minutes there was another ring at
the shop door. A second messenger
thrust in his head with the inquiry:
care Herr Won Bismarck boots readyP'
And so it went on every ten minutes,
the same question all the day through
until evening, when at last the boots
were finished. Never again did that
shoemaker keep Bismarck waiting for
his boots.
Among the immigrants arriving at
Bonaventurc depot, Canada, recently,
were George Kelsey, a native of the
West of England, and forty-two years
of age, and his wife, from the same
part. The twain have been married
eighteen years. Within six years they
have had twelve children, namely, trip
lets no less than twice, twice doublets
and twice "singlets.' As the parents
sat in the depot surrounded by their Off
spring, the Youngest an infant in arms,
the eldest looking little more than an
infant, they were the subjects of the
greatest interest. and many were the
questions asked the happy mother. es-
pecially by the feminine portion of those
in the depot awaiting the arrival OF the
train. The children were all healthy
and robust, and the fatbe and mother
might be described as the same. The
mother stated that her little ones had
known no sickness more than the ordi-
nary complaints incident to childhood.

The Belle of the Ball,

There is far less vulgarity in cheap
dress than in tinery worn out of time
and place. Real elegance shows itself
not always in the quality of ones '.dry
goods" but in wise judgment about
putting them on. Margery Deane, in
her last book, describes the simplicity OF
some of the European ladies of rank as
follows:
An American girl would have stood
amazed ut n fashionable lawn party
which once attended, where all the Ia
dies were in the simplest of pretty calico
and cotton dresses. Ladies whose family
Jewels would have stocked n shop, and
whose inherited laces were OF priceless
value, wore in the streets dresses that
the American girl would scorn to wear
on the beach at Newport on Sunday
morning because of their simplicity.
In Vienna | went with n young bar
oness to try on q dress she was having
made to wear to the afternoon ball to be
given to the emperor's school for the
education of officers sons.

florins in her own right, and had been
brought up with the emperor's children
for a time, when her father had been
aide-de-camp, and the jewels she had

Swiudlipg a Settler.

About the LIST of October a pioneer in
one of the northern counties of Wiscon-
sin was seated on a LOG in front of his
cabin, waiting for his every other-day
shake TO come along, when a covered
wagon drove up. 1t contained 4 man
and his wife, and few articles of fur
niture, and they were looking for n piece
of land on which to squat. 1t was nip
and tuck which was the meanest-look-
inc man. Both were ragged, down in
the mouth, and had chills and fever as
regularly As sunrise, and neither one
had made q cent in the last ten years.
1t was also 4 pretty even thing between
the women. One was crosS-eyed, and
the other had broken nose. One was
almost toothlcss and the other had Il stiff

The settlers wife was not over sever

moved off she called back:

Six years ago the family of Mr.. L. Albert
Manter, of Wayne, consisted Of himself, wife,
five sons and one daughter, the youngest of
the family. Mr.. Manter was one of the SUBJ
stantial farmers of the town, and everything
gave promise of a successful and happy
future for this large family. In the midst of
their prosperity, the husband and father was
suddenly taken from his family by pneumonia.
Since that sad event the mother has been an
invalid. On the 18th inst, the little daughter,
ten years of age, beautiful and interesting
child, was stricken down with scarlatina; on
the succeeding day, Ellis, the youngest son,
was attacked with the same disease, and in
less than five days both died. On Friday,
the DIST inst, they were buried in one grave.
Three of the other boys are now sick with
the disease, but it has not assumed the
malignant type which characterized it in the
cases of the Younger children, and they will
probably recover.
