tremely SAD scene was enacted III NUT
folk on Friday. Sometime ago Mr..
John W. Boggs and his wife, Mrs.
Nola Boggs, nee Twiford, separated,
and later ON Mr.. B. brought suit to get
his little three-and-a-half year old
daughter from his wife. Judge Hanckel
decided in favor of the father. An ap-
peal was taken by the mother to the
court of appeals, and that body decid-
ed against her Saturday, sustaining
Judge Hanckel's decision.
The distressed mother made no ply
sical resistance to the delivery of the
child-a beautiful little girl-to the Off.
GERS, but she and the rest of the family
shed copious and bitter tears at the
separation. The officers, too-strong
men used to unpleasant scenes-were
overcome by this one and wept. The
grandfather and the mother Of the child
and lady friend accompanied the Of
fcers aud child to the city hall for the
purpose of pleading with Judge Hanc-
kel to spare Mrs. Boggs the awful Or
deal of giving up her little daughter.
When they arrived at the court room
the Judge was engaged and could not
see them.
The mother then began a fearful and
touching farewell to the child. pleading
with the officers to see, as far as they
could, that the little one was well
treated, saying that she had been used
to have every wish gratified. The child
showed no signs of understanding the
change that was taking place in its life.

wonder that so important post should
have been given TO so untrled man,
a man who had only one decoration.
that given him for saving the life OF his
solder servant when he was leuten-
ant in the army Even the Prince of
Prussia, afterwards Emperor Wlll!om,by
the grace Of Bsmarck's genius and re-
solution, expressed surprise and felt
much doubt.
BISMARCK TOLD THE TRUTH.
But Bismarck soon justified himself,
and introduced the old-world diplomats
TO tactics they were a long time in COM
pretending. He told them the plain
truth whenever he spoke at ALL and he
was always remarkable rather for can
dor than reticence-and they were en-
tirely batfied. His reports to his Minis
ter in Berlin during the eight years he
remained in Frankfort were complete
and graphic histories of all the hap
penings. The idea of German unity as
at this time advocated at the instance
OF Austria he did not consider in the
interests of the Pruss!an throne and
he opposed 1t with all his might. 1t
even seemed at this time that he was OPP
posed to any kind of unity. but that was
not SO; his idea was that Prussia should
form and be the centre OF that union
and his foresight enabled him to see,
even then, how that could be brought
about.
In one OF Motley's letters there is a
little picture of Bsmarck's home life
at his home in Frankfort. He said:
1.-The Bismarcks are as kind as ever.
1t Is one of those houses where every
one does what he likes. The show
apartments, where they receive formal
company, are on the front of the house.
Their living rooms. however, are a sa-
lon and dining room al the back. open
ing upon the garden. Here there are
young and old, grandparents and chill
dren and dogs all at once; eating drink

firing Tin the garden), all going on at
the same time. 1t is one of those estab-
hshments where every earthly thing

been a religious man OF deep feelings.
and this idea that his theological the
cries approach more nearly to Quaker
ism than anything else Is not mine, but
mas been expressed by those who stud
led his life very closely and have ex-
amined his expressions of faith with
minute care. 1t is undoubtedly true,
however. that in the moments in which
the hatred of his enemies appeared ex-
aSgerated in Importance and when the
sufferings caused by the wars for the
unffication and preservation of Ger
many seemed to outweigh the good that
they secured, he has read the patriotic
poems of the gentle American Quaker
to much advantage and has found In
them a grateful consolation.
When Bismarck develoDed this relig-
ious bent II Is not hard to see. In his
youth he was so Wild and reckless that
he became known in the army where
he kept up this reputation when ne had
returned to his ancestral home at
Schoehansen to become country squire
and cultivate the estate he had inher-
tied from his father. the retired cap
tain of dragons. His mad pranks were
held in such disesteem by his neigh
bors than he was not thought 20 be n
safe match for Fraulien Won Ruttlsamer
when In 1917 he sought her to he his
wife. The country Squire. by methods
similar to those of the Chancellor of
quarter OF n century later, beat down
the opposition and married the lady, Of
whom In 1878 he said to the italian
Premier. Signor Crispl You little know
what this woman has done for me-"
One of the things she did was to awak-

that IL 1t were not for his faith in God.
his love for her and the thoughts of the
children at home he would give up all
ideas of public duty and return to his
home and his farming. The idea
through the whole of Bismarks life
seems to have been that In serving his
King he was serving God and his coun-
try. In his mind the King was the
anointed one and the people had but
one duty and that duty was to obey.
1t was in 1851. by the way, that Bis
mercks public career In any larger sense
began. though previous to that he had
been member OF the Pruss!an ulu.
and had championed the rights of the
throne as against those of the people

friendship which lasted through life.
From Motley's letters we get some OF
the most intimate glimpses of Bis
marck's domestic life; it was from him,
too. no doubt, that Bismarck had intro

lleved with unwavering tirmnsess in the
divine right of the Hohenzollerns to
rule in that land: but he acknowledged
that a constitutional and limited mon
archy. where the sovereign was but as
the cupola of the house, was the best
government for England. and that a
pure democracy was the best kind of
government for the United States.
