Cor AHEAD OF B1sMARK.-Here is
the witty answer by which a hero,
whom Bismark was commissioned by
the emperor to decorate with the Iron
Gross of the first class, discomfitted
the chancellor's attempt to chafe him.
"I am authorized said Bismark to
him, to offer you 100 thaIers in
stead of the cross" ''How much is
the cross worth?" asked the soldier.
"Three thalers." Every well then,
your highness, FIJI take the cross and
81 thaiers.' Bismark was so sur
prised and pleased by the ready
shrewdness of the reply that he gave
the man both cross and money.

farmer from North Dakota, who has

An Old. Homestead.

An Old Homestead.
u Glands beside the winding way
Where countless flowers smile
Tfme-toncd into silver gray,
An ancient shingled pile.
Beside the gate a lilac fair
Is bright with May-rain pearls,
And from the chimney in, the air
A smoke skein softly curls.
Awillow ripples like the sea
In musical unrest,
And cradles in its drapery
An ashen hornets nest
Bright tulips at the doorway set
Their airy fragrance spill,
Altar of creamy mignonette
Is on the window sill
There is struggling hedge of box
Beneath the drowsy trees,
The air is rich with rose and phlox
And murmurous with bees.
The happy insects drone and hum
Mid daisies white as curds,
And in the swaying pear and plum
Ripple the songs of birds.
The garden pathway wanders through
The quiet shades until
Beneath an elm it falls into
A cressy crystal riH.
The dusty road begins to wind,
And all the balmy scene
1felts softly from my view behind
A cedar's billowy green.

4 WAR OF CRANKS.

Kansas is the habitat of the crank.
His breeding-place is further East, in
Massachusetts generally. though he is
native TO all the New England states,
and is Matched in considerable numbers
as far West as the Western reserve o.
Ohio. But as soon as hedged the crank
turns with unerring instinct toward
Kansas. where the fullest development
of that peculiar and offensive fowl is
acquired. 1t is here that a republic OF
cranks has full sway, and here we can
study the habits, thoughts. DISPOSE
lions and vagaries of these extraordi-
nary creatures in their aggregate rela-
ton TO the world and in their individ-
ual relations with each other.
Without going very deeply or widely
into this investigation, it is interesting
TO pay attention to a striking phase of the
development of crankism in its bearing
on two subjects of agitation now pres
ent to the public mind. 1t is known
that the prohibition cranks have their
strongest foothold in Kansas. Here
they have had their greatest develop
ment.
Such has been their stength OF men,
bers that they have controlled the Re-
publican party of the state since 1880,
Notwithstanding that they led it to dis
astrous defeat in 1882, and gave the
state to the Democrats. But. firing of
the tameness of political life, after
having swallowed the Republican party
of that state the cranks thirsted for
more excitement, and threw themselves
into the Farmers Alliance movement.
Whether the Farmers Alliance cranks
are Of the same breed as the prohibit
ton cranks, we cannot say. 1t is prob
able. however, that they came from the
same nests, and they may be considered
as one. However that may be, the
thing we want to point out is that
there is the opening of bitter war be-
tween the adherents OF st. John and of
Sockless Simpson. st. John says of
Simpsons party that it is another
whisky party. Simpson hasn't been
