Governor Matthews Is telling a good

says the indianapolis Sentinel. In a
valley in the northern part of Georgia,
between w mountains which shut out

infirmities to shoulder "A musket and

whom he sent, and after the boy had
disappeared down the road the old man
waited for the news of the strife. Oc-
Casionally rumors of southern victories
would float over the mountains and the
old man-Uncle S he was called

IL Is credibly related by a German
journal that during the reign of the
Emperor William l., when the present
emperor was a boy. Prince Bismarck,
walking one day through a corridor OF
the royal palace at Berlin, came upon
"A strange scene. Hearing within the
room which he passed a great racket
he opened the door and saw the YOUNG
grandson of the emperor dancing about
while their father. the crown prince
ground at the handle of a hand-organ
All were in high spirits and seeing
the chancellor. the young princes
laughingly invited him to join in the
dance. Prince Bismarck declined, bu
he offered to turn the organ IL the
crown prince would join his sons. The
crown prince assented and the chan
cellor turned the handle with great an
imation. The laughter and sport grow
louder with the increased speed of the
playing. Just then the old emperor
came in. He took in the situation at a
glance.

with a smile, that you are beginning
early to make the princes dance TO
