It Did Not Elatter

Lucretia Mott. the eminent Quaker
minister and anti-slavery apostle was
a woman of rare personal charm, and
whilst not beautiful in the strict sense
of that far-reaching term, was pos
sessed of a face that was little short of
it. Her brother, Thomas Coffin, how
ever, was not in the least entitled to
any claims Of that sort-a fact which
caused him as much amusement as. it
did any one of his friends. He was
once asked by a friend for his picture,
but extNlded little hope that the in
quirer would ever get what he asked
for
WELL Thomas" said the other, "if
thee will not get one taken for me,
will thee let me have copy Of an old
one?"

replied Thomas. ''The fact is that I
once did have picture taken of my
SELF and it was so good that l de-
stroyed it."-Harper's Round Table.

NONE OF FAMILY ATTENDED.
Emperor Villa ms Bismarck Funeral
Was Failure.

Berlin, August 4.-The Bismarck fu-
neral ceremony today was brilliant and
impressive as regards court display, but
quite disappointing in other respects. 1t
bore traces of haste and half .heartedness.
The church was inadequately decorated
and the public displayed no enthusiasm.
Perhaps the most disappointing feature
was the fact that not single member of
the Bismarck family attended.
The bitterness Of the old chancellor
toward the young Kaiser seems TO reach
beyond death. The proceedings were
characterized by the utmost simplicity +,

presumably to confer on the attitude
