BISMARCK AT HOME.
The tsory of the Beautiful American Girl
From Colorado.

There is very interesting account of a
visit paid to the Grand Old Man of Ger
many in THE September number of the
London Home by DR.. Jon Stefansson. The
conversation turned upon Germany and
her political affairs. II nave lost my in
terest in politics." Bismarck said. What
is far more important to me now Is the
Weather and the harvest. occupy my
time now with agriculture. That is far
more grateful employment than politics.
In politics tngraltltude is the rule; in
agriculture Vt IS the exception" His Wis
itor ventured TO suggest that the great
body of hfs countrymen still looked TO
him for guidance In matters Of national
concern. "Ah. but you forget am get
ting o(d-I ann getting DID," he repeated
w3uh emotion.
DR.. Stefansson retells the story OF u
beautiful American girl from Colorado,
who went to Rissingen to see Bismarck,
who was taking the waters there. Having
Toasted for some days on the sight OF
the great man, she one day summoned up
courage, walked straight up TO him, and
said "Durchtaalcht, am going to Col
orado today; may I shake hands with
you before go?' She took his offered
hand and attenptsd to kiss 1t, but he
promptly sadd; I'm Kisslngen we do not
kiss hhnds," and then and there he kissed
her on the mouth, as tenderly and affec-
tlonatesy as any lover. And yet. re-
marks DR.. Stefansson, some people win
try ITO make out that Bismarck is blind
to a womhn's charms.

Venezuelan soldiers, while Oh the dis

towns and held as prisoners. They were
relehsed, however, on the filing of pro-
teslts, bldt the British chief 0f police
Claimed THAT he had been improperly
treated while under arrest and he pro-
ceeded in person TO London to lay the
matter before the colonial Office. Since
then no action has been taken and 1t Ia

the minister said, is on river Of that

therupon arrested uhe British force and
