President Kruger lives up to his Puri-
tan principles. When in Paris, he refused
all invitations to go out ON Sunday,
and he thought the costumes worn by
ladies ct the opera Or parties very i'm
modest. He said he could not think
how any lady who respected herself
could look at ballet. The only books
he had ever read besides the Bible were
the History Of the Princes Of Orange, :"
"History Of the Thirty Years War;"
Motley's "History Of the Dutch Repub-
lio," Macaulay's writings on William
Of Orange and "The Pilgrims Prog
ress." He said that in the Transvaal
when boy was sent to school he was
provided with gun and pound of
ammunition. He could then bring home
a bag Of game and defend himself
against the Kaffirs, but the parents tried,
nevertheless, to make these self reliant
boys understand that the meek shall in
herit the earth.
Another story told of President Kruger
is that when he got home from his visit
to Europe he said England was well
enough, but the land seemed to be all
owned by somebody. One could not even
60 out into the country and sit down
under tree to smoke his pipe but some.
body would come along and say that he
owned the land and ask what the
smoker was doing there. Buffalo Cou-

Sharp Young Man Who Profited by Roths-
child's Friendship.
A good story Of Lord Rothschild is
going the rounds, and it deserves to be
recorded. A young man once came to
him with letters of introduction, which
stated that he was thrown entirely on
his own resources on account of the
death of his father, much respected
man, who died from grief on account
of his bankruptcy. It was further
stated. says London TitBits, that the
young man was very clever and smart.
and Lord Rothschild was asked if he
could do something for him. The mill
lionaire took him by the arm and
marched him through the city and past
the stock exchange, introducing him
to several well-known brokers on the
way, and then bade him farewell.
But" said the young man, who ex-
pected great things, "are you not go
ing to do something for me?"
my dear fellow" replied the other,
'if you are as clever as am told you
are, you will know what to do your
self"
The young man was smart enough
to take the hint, and by the prestige
his apparent friendship with Lord
Rothschild gave him, obtained unlim.
tied credit. He soon made headway,
and is now one of the most successful
brokers on the exchange.

Bisnarck's Physician Would Not Yield to
tho Old Mans Humors.
Won Paschinger's work on Prince
Bismarck. which has just appeared,
contains several hitherto unpublished
anecdotes. One of these relates how
DIR. Schweninger became the chan
cellor's private physician and sub
iugated the great man to his will. DR..
Schweninger, who was indebted to
Herr Doetz, deputy. for his introduce
tion to Bismarck's household, recog-
nized the strong temperament with
which he had to deal, and resolved to
assume the whip hand at the very OUT
set. Three days after his advent the
chancellor fell i'll. The doctor forbade
him to partake Of certain dish Of
which he was particularly fond. Bis
lnarck rebelled, and had it placed be-
fore him, Notwithstanding. Hearing
Of what had been done DR.. Schwen-
niger entered the room. took the dish
fcrcibly from the patients hands, and
Aung 1t out of the window. The man
Of iron perceived that he had met his
match and was ever afterward the most
docile OF patients under DR.. 6chwen-
tnger's hands.

The Lone Juryman Not Unanimous.

In the trial of case in Powell coun.
ty not long ago the attorneys objected
to all the jurors who had been sum-
moned save one. As no others were at
hand, it was agreed that the action
should be tried by the one remaining
juryman. After the evidence was heard
the judge told the lone juror to retire
and make up verdict. He retired, and,
after staying out for over an hour. came
back and reported solemniy that the
jury had failed to agree upon verdict.
