When Sir Herbert Kitchener-whO
has been raised to the peerage as re-
ward for his splendid Sudan campaign
paid his last visit to England he was
asked when his army would enter
khartum. He promptly named two
dates week apart. and explained that
the battle would be fought on one day
or the other. The margin of single
week was required by uncertainty in
regard to the depth OF water in the
Upper Nile, which varies from year to
year. When the battle was fought it
was on one of the dates named by him.
This incident illustrates the painstak-
ing care and precision of this British
general in his Sudan campaign. He
had studied the campaign In advance
as closely as problem in geometry.
He knew how many miles OF desert
marching could be covered by his army
day by day, and where the enemy
would make stand. He had master
ed all the details of supplies of food for
The soldiers. and the service of gun
boats and transports on the river. He
could forecast everything except the
depth OF the water, and consequently
named two dates in place of one. A
tall, handsome soldier with a fine fore
head, flashing eyes, a CHEEKY smile aud
commanding air. Sir Herbert Kitch-
ener is one of the hardest workers In
the British army. No detail escapes his
notice. His staff officers sometimes
laughingly complain because he leaves
so little for them to do. He thinks of
everything. requires precise informa-
ton from every officer. and is business.
like and methodlcal. Trained as an
engineer he is familiar with all the de-
tails of the artillery service. and can
make roads, build bridges and conduct
exhaustive surveys. In earlier cam.
paigns In the Nile countries he has
been second In command of n cavalry
regiment, and has been In charge of
the arrangements for provisioning an
army and moving the military stores.
AS chief of the intelligence staff he
learned the Nile languages and all the
traits of native character. AS the or
ganizer of the Egyptian force. he knew
exactly what 1t could do In a cam.
paign. In one word. he was master of
the art of war with the tribes of the
Sudan He understood every detail of
the service as thoroughly as any sub
ordinate under him.

notions Of good behavior to which they

buccaneers who, landing at a settle

church. As ii is not at all probable that
any of the buccaneering vessels carried
chaplains, opportunities of attending
services must have been rare. This
captain seems to have wished to show
that pirates in church know what they
ought to do just as well as Other people;

NEW BISMARCK SToRlea

Carried Out-Bcgging Letters,

Carried 0ut-Begging Letters.
Henry Won Poschinger, who has pub,
lished ten or twelve volumes regarding
Prince Bismarck's political career, has
written a magazine article containing
several new Bismarck stories. AS new
Bismarck stories are rare pieces OF
literature nowadays, it may be worth
Told in Poschinger's language, they
are:
"In 1877, when Bismarck's favorite
dog, Sultan, was dying, the chancellor
watched over the poor creature with
such keen distress that Count Herbert
at last interfered and sought to lead
his father away. The prince took few
steps toward the door. Then, as he
turned, he met the eyes of his old
friend.
"'No, no; leave me alone he ex.
claimed, as he went back to Sultan,

panions in life. only wish I could be-

the revolution-when the tide of politi
cal passion was still running very high,

TO get glass of beer. A man who sat
near him, and evidently was inspired by
the admiration of several friends, be.

"'If you do not leave the room before

over your head
"The man did not go. Bismarck emp
tied his glass slowly, sip by sip. He
arose, walked deliberately over to the
man who had spoken insultingly OF
the royal family, and smashed the glass
over his head. The man fell bowling
to the floor. Bismarck turned to the
waiter and asked what the glass cost,
paid the bill, and walked out slowly to
the street. Yet at this time he was
man OF political position and the rec.
ognized leader of the conservative
party. True to his principles, however,
he took the offensive, attacking his OPP
ponent with the first weapon that came
to hand.
"The begging letters received by Bis.
marck were to be counted by the thou

the letters which were not strictly pri.

So it came that, seeing the meaner side

full daughters of Nicholas l. He and his
wife were fondly attached to Peter
hof. The farm now tenanted by the
emperor and empress was the only es-
tate they had in Russia before they
came to the throne. The ground was
given to Nicholas by Alexander l. to
create a homestead for himself and his
young wife. They were satisfied with
quite small cottage with two rooms
on each siee of the hall, kitchen,
greenhouse, and four bedrooms up
stairs. The servants lived in an out
house communicating by a passage
with the cottage. Nicholas and Alex
andra had no idea when the house was
finished of ever reigning. When they
came to the throne they remained at
the cottage, but added to it large
dining-room and few more bedrooms.

hothouses. The view on the Baltic,
