A shrewd Answer.

1t was very witty answer by which a
hero whom Bismarck was commissioned
by the Emperor to decorate with the iron
cross of the first class discounted the
Chancellor's attempt to chaff him. II

with that liking for playing jokes which
has been so strong throughout his career,

lers instead of the cross" "How much
is the cross WORTH" asked the soldier.
''Three thalers." "Very well, then, your

prised and pleased by the ready shrewd-

both the cross and the money.-EI.

To bring these figures down to date is
rs yet impossible with absolute accuracy.
The Comptroller's report will soon be
ready, but until is is, the figures are
slightly uncertain. A near approx

the figures given below, it is believed, a
very close approach to exactitude will be
found. They are furnished by Comp
troller Hougn. who says that any change
they may be subject to tends to favor the
city. That is, to reduce the present net
debt. The figure taken for the railway
valuations is the least accurate. 1t is
that of 1890. That of 1891 is doubtless
considerably larger. Here are the figures

weeks at the Merchants Hotel, Helena.
Mr.. Turk had suffered for years with
Rheumatism, lnpurity of Blood and effects
of mercutiai Salvation. He had four of
the best physicians in Montana attend him,
and they failed to relieve him. DR.. Stod-
dart examined him, sent his prescriptions
to Liebig Dispenaarv, San Francisco. to be
prepared. After Dr.. Stoddart left, Mr..
Turk met the local doctors and told them
what he had done. They laughed at him,
ana said that San Francisco quack would
kill him." He was 80 frightened that when
the medicine from San Francisco came he
put the bottle upon a shelf ut his house,
