Many people, in spite of the oft re-
peated warning never TO sign anything
without reading it, are always ready to
append their names to anything that
happens to come along in the shape of
petition. A kings prime minister, who
had been annoyed by the monarch's pro-
pensity to sign anything presented to him
without examing its purport, cured his
majesty of this habit by drawing up ar
ticles of abdication and securing the
kings immediate signature. He never
dipped his pen after that without care
full inspection of the document. The
propensity has been curiously illustrated
by Western joker A farmer, promi-
nent and wealthy, but unable to read,
wanted to resign the position of road
surveyor, and asked doctor friend of
his to draw up paper to that effect,
which he could get his neighbors to agree
to in writing. The doctor thought it
good opportunity to test the wildcat sys-
tenn of signing documents that don't
affect the worldly welfare of the signer,
so the petition he drew up was one in
which the farmer asked to be hanged.
Perfectly ignorant of its purport, the old
fellow took it around on his travels in
town and in few days had secured $50
signatures, and not single signer. so the
doctor discovered, had the faintest idea
OF its purport.

There was a big celebration by the
Grand Army in Philadelphia, and as
special train full of members from New
York passed Elizabeth, N. J.. a tail. gray
headed man entered one of the rear cars
and took a seat next 10 a committeeman,
who was decorated with more badges aud
medals than a French field marshal.
"Going down to the jamboree. COM

Yes, sir, said the tall man.

conner with a smile.
"Of course you were with Grant, said
the New York member with humorous
wink.

"Well, was with Sherman--Atlanta

night I've spent playing poker with old
Tecump. He couldn't play worth a dern,
though. =
Couldn't, eh?" said the gray haired
veteran with interest.
No; it was like finding money. I've
a great mind to tell the boys of little
incident that occurred during the great
march, but as the 'old man is to be here
himself tonight guess it wouldn't do. I"
II shouldn't mind that
Well, dunno. You see it was like
this; just after we struck the Weldon
railroad we had the devil of a fight
About noon it let upa little and Sherman

little game of draw"
~Queer time for poker.
"Oh, you see, fighting was a chestnut
to us in those days, while poker was a
good deal. Well, horsed the old man
pretty bad, and when Mt last he opened a
jackpot he was about cleaned out, so he
wrote out his pay receipt for the next
month and threw it in the pot raised
him $500. just then a bullet ripped
through the drum and the action was
under way again. The old man jumped
up. 'Pete,' he says-Tecump always
called me Pete Pete, we can't play this
hand just now, but Wen finish it after
the scrimmage. Here, I'll put my hand
under this stone and you put yours in
that hollow log. We did so and rushed
for our horses.
Hot fight that, said the tall veteran
reHectively.
"You bet. Every time got near the
general he'd stand up in his stirrups, wave
his sword, and yell, "A hundred better,
Pete and I'd holler back, "A hundred
better nor you 1t was most night be-
fore he called me, and then the pot was
couple of thousand. After supper he
went out, huntedup the cards, and showed
'em down. Ihad three aces and two kings
and Tecump had four kings and an ace.
Singular, wasn't it,"
Remarkable. How did you account
for it?"
Account for it? Why, somebody had
been monkeying with the gen'rars hand,
that's what! don't insinuate anything,

Forced IntO the Position by Threats %
Abdtcstion by the King.


Forced Into the Position by Threats Of
Abdicstion by the King.
Just how Bismarck took the final step
into the position Of the leading statesman
of Prussia has always been unwritten
history. The Miinchener AHQemeine
Zeittng. still very close t. the ex-chan-
cellor, in its efforts to stem the tide of
adverse newspaper comment ON Bis
marck's record. gives detailed descrip-
ton of the significant event, and, more
over, guarantees the correctness of the
information. Won RoOr, minister of
war, had called Bismarck home from
France. The king received him in the
park of Babelsberg. AS Bismarck ap-
preached the king handed him the copy
of his announcement of his abdication,
which he was about to have published.
Bismarck looked astounded and remarked
quickly that in Prussia such document
should be impossible.
j have tried everything, said the
king, ~yet have found no alternative.
Against my conviction can not rule.
My ministers are against me. My own son
sides with them. You have already been
with him. If can not come to an un-
derstanding with you / shall send this
announcement of my abdication to the
Gazette, and then my son may see what
he can do. To surrender the reorganiza-
ton of the army is against my convic-
tions. To violate them is to me a viola
ton of duty"
Bismarck replied that he had called on
the crown prince merely in response to a
summons, and that he had refused to dis
cuss the situation before an interview
with the king. All thought of abdication
must be given up at once. The king
balanced the paper in his hand few min
utes and then inquired:
-Will you try to rule without a ma
jority 2"
aYes."
And without budget?"
~Yes."
.@And without yielding the recognition
of the army?"
SYes."
@Then here is my program.
Bismarck read the four quarto pages
covered with the kings fine handwriting.
The first point concerned the representa-
ton of cities and manors in district
assemblies, around which violent quar-
rel had already gathered.
"Your majesty" said Bismarck de-
cidedly, "the question at issue is not
about district assemblies, it is about the
ability of the king or the ability of par
lament to rule Prussia. Settle this ques-
ton and all else viii settle itself. If your
majesty win trust me so far will under
take the work, but without programs.
After a short silence the king nodded.
He and Bismarck were walking over
little bridge and he began to tear up the
program. AS he dropped the pieces on
the planks, Bismarck, stooping, picked
them up as he said:
Your majesty perhaps might better
throw the pieces into the fire. Some one
might find them here, and every one in
this vicinity knows your majesty's hand
writing"
The king put the remnant of the pro-
gram in his coat pocket, discussed shortly
the dismissal of the acting minister
president, and then started for the castle
to pen the letter of dismissal.
