Bismarck's Eateful Pine,

Prince Bismarck is a great pipe COL
lector, and the gem of his collection has
curious history. Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
of Friederichsruh with his two hounds,
he was accosted by Bohemian peddler
and asked to buy q plain meerschaum
pipe OF the type that Bismarck most af-
fected. At first Bismarck declined, but
the peddler claimed for the pipe power
OF forecast and told him he would serve
three emperors as minister, and that
three important changes in his life
would be foretold by accidents detailing
the pipe.
Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe.
He has since served three emperors.
Two days before the historic moment
when he was refused an audience the
stem OF his pipe separated and went to
pieces. Later he Clipped a piece from
the side of the bowl. and within a
month he was practically dismissed by
the present emperor. The third sign has
yet to come. Berlin Correspondent.

GORGEOUS AND FAST.


a" Am.teur Skhppefb Experience with
sa Ersswhile Uabeasen CaGbsaa.
Summing up the advantages Of Ger.
tain places for the enjoyment Of vaca-
ton and dilating on the pleasure and
excitement Of sailing small boats, an
amateur skipper related an experience
on the south shore Of Long Island BY
saying: II couldn't get away from town
until the middle of the season, and
when l arrived at-well, no matter
where-1 had difficulty in finding a cat
boat, but after days hunt 1 found a
IL footer, the only boat on that part Of
the bay that had not been let for the
rest of the season. She had black BODY
and yellow deck, with blue trim
mings. red seats and lead colored
floor. She was little too gorgeous for
my taste, but had to take her or have
nothing.
THE bayman that owned her said
that he had been too busy to put her in
condition before that time. She's a fine
boat. sir. and fast, too, he said. She's
won every race in her class, and she can
carry sail with the best of EN- took
her, but i'll the course of n week I
couldn't get much speed out of her. She
lugged her sail all right, and the best
fun l had was in taking her out in
rough weather and letting her slash
through the worst Of the water.
'One day we had race, and en-
tered the boat. l don't remember
whether l was the last or the next to
the last at the finish, but know had
no show whatever for n place. After
ward thought I'd make some inquiries
DO you know my boat, Cap:' 1
asked, trying to get into confidential re-
lations with an old bayman who was
trying to ease himself through the rest
OF his lifetime by the use of a stout
piece of cherry.
Reckon 1 do he replied, and he
tried to reprcss smile.
How Old is she?'
Bout ten year, l reckon
How many races has she sailed in:'
'One besides this.
Did she win that?
yes, by fluke. The other boat
broke down. New York Times.

never will hurt q workingman. When
times is good. Iwant 70 get paid for my
very superior food that I always supply,
and when times is hard then you can
take it at any price you like to feed
your wives and children and your fam
lilies from George Clinch, The Peoples
only Butcher in this parish. l shall
work hand in hand with the Rev.
George Hale TO bury the dead at the
lowest price and put the poor body deep
i'll mother earth. where they ought to
be. and promise that shall sell my
meat at the same price. shall also

HYPNOTlzED THE BEARS.
A Story Which Newsome Believes Becaus
Anderson Is Cross Eyed.

AhuciSU - SEOSo Lyeus
]. E. Newsome is Port Arthur Ca.
madam and Alex Anderson comes from
Pearl River. An Englishman named
Atwell wanted to get bear, and An
dersOn tried to crafty his desire.
Newsome told Forest and Stream about
it. Atwcll was the kind of man who
would like to kill bear i'll q trap, so
Anderson took two bear traps and a lot
of bait up a gully near Ouimet, looking
for sign. The Englishman went look
ing for bears and left Anderson to set
the traps.
All Of a sudden a big she bear ap-
peared before Anderson at the foot of a
tree between a couple of whose roots
one trap was to have been set Not hav-
ing any gun, Anderson, so Newsome
says, determined that hypnotic force
had to be used, ard that suddenly. An
derson looked the bear in the eyes, and
the bear paused; then Anderson made
three passes with his hands. The bear
leaned its head forward and its ewes
bUlged out. Having satisfied himself
that the bear was properly influenced,
Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell
was good way off. and before he could
arrive the she bears 2-year-old and
yearling cub came out of the tree at the
same time. a yearling cub alone would
be pretty bad fighter at close quarters,
especially with hypnotized mother
bear near by liable to come to at any
moment, but 2-year cub and a
yearling both at once made a mighty
serious matter
But Anderson was fully equal to the
emergency. He managed to look at the
bears four eyes at once and soon had
them subjugated. Newsome says that
he would not have believed Anderson s
tale only Anderson is now cross eyed,
which he wasn't before, owing to his
looking both bears in the eyes at once.

plume or feather. The sword seems to
be but little used in the modern pulpit.
Preachers try to be poetical, rhetorical,
oratorical. historical. metaphorical; they
study expression, gesture. tone, emphasis,
but where is the sharp sword of the
spirit? Where is the mettled and anil
mated Sadducee? Where is the fierce
Pharisee? They are nowhere. There are
plenty OF churches where Satan can go to
sleep in the audience, with nothing in the
service to disturb or alarm him. The
divine carpenter and the lowly fishermen
are models no longer.
I'VE must contend for the great facts
and doctrines of the Bible; for purity of
doctrine-not in bitterness, but with
fidelity to the truth. Jesus settled his
antagonist 50 that no man burst ask him
any more questions. Paul was heroic be-
fore Felix. The great French preae her,
Massillon. did not hesitate TO rebuke the
King and the ladies of the court. The
tlmes call for heroic pulpit and for a
strong laity"
