In view of his impetuouS character
and eccentric manner of life, it is not
strange that when he asked for the
hand of Fraulein Joan Won Puttkamer
in marriage her parents bluntly re-
fused him. He was still very young,
and they preferred to wait a few
years to see if he would abandon his
reckless habits. Bismarck, however,
did not propose to wait. Marry Frau
lein Joan he would, whether her par
ents were willing or not. So he visited
her every day, taking no notice of her
family's rebuffs. He knew that she
loved him, and that sufficed. This
state of things, however, did not last
long. ''See here, Herr Won Puttka-
mer," exclaimed Bismarck one day,
why do you refuse to let me have your
daughter
Because, Herr Won Bismarck" was
the reply, you are not fit to be any
woman's husband. You ride and fight
all day and drink and swear all night.
Your life is scandal to the country
Bismarck looked at him in silence
for moment and then poured out:
"Donnerwetter! Is that all? But it
is absurd. Come, and give her to me
and you will see me as steady and Sc
date as bishop. Come. 1 swear itv' .
Sincerity was stamped on the young
mans countenance and words, and
Herr Won Puttkamer finally gave his
consent to the marriage, though not
without mfsgivings. Bismarck, how
ever, kept his word. He wrote to his
sister, "All right" in English, to let

counting the covers at the table. NO,

objection to that" Another day, when
there were really thirteen at table,
special pains were taken not to draw
Bismarck's attention to the fact as
his family knew that it would make
him low-spirited. On Oct. Ia, 1870, Gen
Boyer met the chancellor at Versailles
to negotiate on behalf of Bazaine. sbut
as soon as Bismarck remembered that
it was the fourteenth day of the month
he exclaimed: THAT is the date of
Hochkirch and Jena, and no business
should be concluded on that day"
Perhaps it occurred to him that this
Nth of October was Friday.

was taking tea at Versailles, he spoke

HIS WILD YOUTH.
In his youth Bismarck was terribly
wild. THE Mad Bismarck his neigh
bors called him. Drinking. fighting
and horseplay seemed to be his sole
amusements. He would fill his ances-
tral home at Schoenhausen with guests
ana insist that no one should rise from
the supper table till sunrise was at
hand. Then those who were sober
enough would go to bed, and those who
were not sober enough would sleen
under the table. Bismarck, the heav-
lest drinker of all, would remain sober
as judge, and would amuse himself
after his guests had retired. in firing
pistol bullets through the bed room,
doors and frightening the inmates al
most to death. AT other times he would
go riding about the country like the.
wild horseman himself, jumping ditcbes
and fences and squirting his horse
through places where no other man
would dare to go.

MADE THE KING ENVIOUS.
One day during the Franco-Prussfan
war King William and Bismarck were
detained at railroad station, and as
they waited in their carriage a crowd
gathered around and began to cheer
for the German troops. Suddenly the
Ghout was raised:
"Hurrah! Hurrah! The Bismarckians
have won another victoryr'
AT these words King William grew
pale, and, turning to the chancel-
lor, asked, impatiently: what do
these people mean?' Bismarck pre-
tended not to hear him, and for sew
eral minutes not a word was ex-
changed between the two. Finally,
however, as the train moved on, the
king said, brusquely: These folks
ought to remember that the troops are
mine, and not yours
GALLANT TO A SERVANT GIRL.
On another occasion he was caught
in a storm as. he was strolling through
the woods near Kissingen, and a SER
want girl ran out of a restaurant and
offered him an umbrella He thanked
her courteously, and, taking her arm,
escorted her to a place of safety.
There he gave her a kiss, which she
accepted with good grace, saying:"You
have done me great honor, prince"
to which he replied: ION the contrary.
my dear, it is 1 who am in your debt.

KICKED THE KINGS HORSE.

On the battlefield, as everywhere else,
Bismarck looked after the interests O.,
his imperial master. During the battle
of koeniggratz the old emperor-then
king of Prussia-had exposed himself
and his staff to the enemys fire, and
would not hear of retreating to a safe
distance. AT last Prince Bismarck rode
up to him, saying: LAS responsible
minister of the crown, 1 must insist
upon your majesty's retreat to a safe
distance. If your majesty were to be
killed the victory would be of no use to
us" The king saw the. force of this
and slowly retreated, but in his yea,
returned again and again to the front.

The Voice Of Authority for the BIoom.r

Cyclewomen, as they are called in Pa
ris, and their bloomer costumes have
been made the subject OF repeated discus
sion since the intentions attributed to the
project of police to suppress masculine
dress illegitimately worn have become
known. DR.. Fauvel. a hygienic special

be diminished and the brilliancy of col

recalls in the same connection the inter-
esting fact lat there are now ten women
in France who are authorized to wear
masculine clothes all the year round and
not merely at carnival time. Among
them are 1.-The celebrated animal painter,
Rosa Bonheur, and an artist of lesser

To look on girls as goddesses
Who dwelt upon height
Oh, did they really slave tor them
And think it was but right?
Oh, had they then no grievances
They organized TO airP
Did they neer vow her tyranny
Was more than they could bear,
When woman wore petticoat,
And never cut her hair?
Oh, were men happy subjects once,
OF an unconscious queen,
Ere yet tie sea of Progress came
'Twixt them to intervene
That heavy sea in which today,
We watch ner thr one careen?
Was she thing of beauty. cncs,
Ere yet she did alright
A wond ring world by blazing out
In bloomerettes bedight;
Ere Freedom inther books was made
Synonymous with Fight?

A lump comes in my throat
To think that a divinity,
On whom all men might dote,
Died an unnatural death the day
That woman got vote.
