Chauncey nj. Depcw, writes New

Hnmous men of the country who can
combine business with pleasure and do
tlots of both ut the same time. Mrs.
tDepew, who does not care for society
Jas much as her distinguished hus-
'band, once told n friend that her bet
ter half had taken but one holiday
an two years. "That was when he at
kended only one banquet in week."
she said, in explaining the circum-
Btance, but it was SO long ago that it
seemed to her moro like n family tradi-
tion than fact. People who are ac-
lquaintcd with the restless spirit of the
best after-dinner talker in America say
chat there is not SO much extravaganza
lin Mrs. Depew's witticism as there
would seem. 1t is rarely that Mr.. De-
ipew ever takes an hour to himSelf-not
that he likes his own companionship
less, but because he likes that of con-
,genial spirits amid congenial surround

twenty-onc he had received almost no

work succeeded in getting through the
academy ut Steelvillc, Mo. After work
ing awhile to secure the requisite
funds he began the study of law in that
place and was admitted to the bar the
day preceding the firing on Fort Sum-
ter. Though most of the Scay family
sympathized with the confederacy, in
81 few days this young man marched

PRINCE BISMARCK.
at the head of mighty anti-GermaiY
combination; with Austro-Gcrman in
fucnce getting in it's fine work at
Sofia, it would be well for the emperor
of Germany to seek counsel of this
grand old chuncellor-and while it is
yet time.
Otto Eduard Leopold Bismarck.
Schonhausen has entered his seventy
eighth year In 1917 he attended the
first united dict ut Berlin in his capac-
ity OF district delegate of the nobility,
and the diet of the province of SaXony.
where he signalizcd himself as an able
and vehement opponent of liberal re-
form. In 1S40-50, as Il member of the
second chamber of the Prussian diet,
he urged increased powers for the mon
archy and the consolidation of the Ger
man nationality by the joint action of
Prussia and Austria. Later. on the eve
of the Franco-Italian war, he assailcd
the prctensions of Austria so bitterly as
to compel his repatriation to st. Peters
burg, where he played at diplomacy till
1867, when he became Prussan ambas-
sador to Paris, and, at the close of the
year, prime MINISTER
During the long and exciting conflict
between the diet and the government
on the subject of the increase and the
reform of the army, the now premier
displayed immense strength, and, de-
spite the unfriendly attitude of Aus
tria, he succeeded in procuring her CO.
operation in the Schlcswig- lIolstcin
war. In 1865 Bismarck was created
count and invested with ministerial au-
thority over the newly-acquired terri
tories. In 1866 he declared war with
Austria and her allies, and in a few
weeks cXtinguished her as German
power, dissolved the German diet, Sc
cured Schleswig- to Prussia
and placed Prussia at the head of a
North German confederation.
Bismarck was now regarded as one
of the ablcst diplomatists in Eu-
rope, and, as witness to his ability,
we may cite the annexation of Hanover,
Hesse-Cassel, Nassau, Frankfort and
Schleswig-lIolstein to Prussia, while
the adhesion Ct saxohyy and other states
is also credited to his diplomatic skill.
lie was yet destined TO prove his
strength, and after most mastcrful
fashion. The accession of Hohcn-
zollern prince to the Roumanian throne
being followed, in 1870, by n project of
raising another prince of that house to
the Spanish throne, Napoleon, whose
jealousy was morbid on account of
being bafiied by Bismarcli's secret
treaties with southern German states
and understanding with Italy, seized
the incident as prctcXt for dcclara-
ton of war, which, under Bismarcls's
influence, was met both by the North
German confederation and the South
German states, with Prussia at their
head, with such vigor that the eagles of
| France were trampled in the dust and
King William Of Prussia declared en-
pcror of Germany, in the gilded palace
of French monarchy ut Versailles.
Bismarcli's career reached it's apex
upon that cvcntful day: and here history
may close the luminous page.
