\ Wooden Leg and a Dog.

A wooden leg and a dog nearly changed the course of European history. In ls6j. just prior to the war between Prussia and Denmark, Bismarck was staying at Biarritz. One morning, accompanied by huge dog. he was walking along a road which runs along cliff p1otovted by low wall. when he met an old French naval captain with a wooden leg. but powerfully built, and of quick temper. The dog became unduly atten- tive to the captains leg, and the French man struck at the animal with the butt of his fishing rod. Bismarck used a round German oath, and the sailor fol lowed with nautical emphasis From words the two came to blows, and in a few minutes Bismarck found that, strong as he was, the Frenchman was lifting him bodily upon the top of the sea wall.
 Another moment and he would have been in the sea below, and the whole course of history would have been changed. At the critical moment came help-by the irony of fate-in the shape of an equerry of Napoleon, who rescued the German from his terrible opponent If that equerry could only have known for what he had saved him!-San Fran cisco Argonaut.

Creedcn will probably be one of the fistic events of the near future. Crcedon has posed as a living punching bag for six years, but has never been defeated. He has beaten 13 men and fought draw with Buff falo Costello.
 Creedon is middlcweight champion of Australia and holds the belt emblematic of that honor. He is a hard hitter, a hurri- cane fighter, a scientific boxer, a clever ring general and is said to be as game as the proverbial pebble. He will need to exer- else all of these qualities, however, when he faces FitZsimmous, the long crafty and powerful ConquerOr of Champion Jack Dempsey, Peter Maher and Jim Hall.
 Although Creedon managed very we'll with Greggains, who is two inches taller, he will face in Fitzsimmous a man who OvertOps him by four inches, who has an enormous reach, who is as agile as the kan garoo of his native land and whose deadly right seems to seek the point of an oppo- nent's jaw as surely and irresi>tibly as the needle seeks the pole.

Tom AXton was somewhat stolid, quiet, industrious, unsuspicious man. He frequently thought his wife a trife frivolous; but, on the whole, he rather likedit.
 When he came home that night. the door was opened to him by the servant unusual There was panic in her face.
 "Oh. sir!" she said, have you seen the missis:'
 ''The missis:" said Tom. No. Isn't she here:'
 No, sir" said the girl, looking as if she were going to cry. After you left this morning. sir, she took on awful, and then she went away. I Thought perhaps she had gone to you, sir Tom stood in the hallway without re moving his coat, ,thunderstruck Through his unsuspicious mind flashed the cir cumstances of the case. The check for goo, the taking on" and the depar- ture.
 Tom threw himself down, with his overcoa: still on, in the armchair by the fire and tried to think over the situa- ton. The absolute uselessnesS of start ing out in the night and trying to find her was the first thing that impressed itself upon him. He shrank from giving notice to the police. The ticket seller at the railroad station knew his wife and would perhaps remember if she bought a ticket for any place. The first thing evidently to do was to find out if she left the suburb, and, if possible, where she had gone to.
 Once more he called up the servant girl.
 "Did-did Mrs. Axton leave the house alOne?' he asked with some hesitation. Il think so, said the girl, but don't know. heard the front door close. and awhile after found that she was gone

uneasy feeling among merchants and man

Notwithstanding this condition of things
and also the fact of the failure of banks in
many localities. the banks of our city
closed the weeks business with greater

with, and on Saturday the deposits were
larger than they have been on any day
