under no circumstances, for no fee, would he fore

lawyer would defend. He had the management Of
several estates for executors and guardians who
simply approved what he did and left everything to

kers Is the most human Of dogs, and is
beloved by a large family OF suburbans

of all cats, save those attached TO the
household Of which he is part, and on
the rare occasions, when he comes 70
New York, like Benvenuto Cellini, he
turns the corners wide, in the hope Of
spying His feline enemies before they SPY

weighs but a dozen pounds had possibly

CAUSES OF THE WAR.
The causes OF this war had been &C.
cumuating ever since the victories of
Napoleon |. In 1896. The possession by
the French Of Metz. Strasburg. and
Lorraine always ranked the German
bosom. On the other hand. the part that
Germany played in the final overthrow
OF the first Napoleon was a sore spot
IN the French anatomy. When Germany.
in the war with Denmark, seized Schles-
wig-Holstein in 1854 and the routing Of
Austria by Prussia In 1866 intensified the
French feeling The ascendency OF Ger
many as a war power was not pleasant to
the French. Later, when Bismarck out
witted the Emperor Napoleon In the
treaty Of Prague. 1t was seen that the war
could not b. far off Finally. when
Spain's throne in 1870 was made vacant
by the revolution OF September. 1868.
and the crown was offered to Prince
Leopold OF Hohenzollern, the anger OF
the French was intense. Leopold was
never a serious candidate for the Spanish
throne. but King William. as the head of
the house Of Hohenzolern, was not op-
posed to his accepting the offer. France
claiued that Germany was intriguing for
the possession Of the Spanish throne.
and fearing this accession to her rivals
strength, took immediate steps TO have
the matter made plain.
