HOME LIFE AN IDEAL ONE

The domestic life of Bismarck was a
strong contrast to his stormy political
career. He was devotedly attached to
his wife and children. The princess, a
perfect picture of the German haus-
frau, exerted a wonderful influence
over the great chancellor. She 1t is

during his life, given constant proofs
not only of true and honest love for
the wife he has chosen and the children
she has borne him. but also of delicate
and chivalrous tenderness toward
them. Years have made no change In
this. Every one who has been admitted
into the intimacy of the Bismarck fam
lily is able to Judge Of the affectionate
and at the same time dignifed charac-
ter of the relations between the prince
and the princess"
His courtship was a singular one. He
was very intimate with the B~lancken-
burg family, who were, in a way, rela-
tives. and one summer made with them
a long journey for pleasure through
some of the most picturesque portions
of NJ. Fraulein Puttkamer
was of the party. and the young couple
fell in love, though Bismarck seems no
to have found il out until after the
Journey was finished. He then wrote
a Characteristic letter to Herr o
Puttkamer demanding his daughters
hand in marriage. Won Puttkamer u
his good wife were strongly opposed TO
the match. They had heard dreadful
things about Mad Bismarck and did
their utmost to dissuade their daugh-
ter from marrying him. After much
difficulty he finally broke down the
fathers opposition, but the mother.

ate.
The daughter, however, evinced a
preference for her wild young sutton,

For Once Bismark's
Bluff Proved Fatal

1t was at 5 o'clock on Saturday morn

of bed, tina Bismarck was notined
that the emperor was waiting to see
him in Count Herbert Bismarck's
apartments in the ONCE of the secre-
tary of state. As soon as the prince en-
tered there was an outburst of imperial
wrath. Bismarck was u~pbraided be-
cause the ministers were not allowed
to report direct to the emperor and be-
cause of opposition to his majesty's pol
icy regarding the labor problem. In
vain did the chancellor defend himself
on the score that 1t was law that the
ministers should not report direct. and
that concerning the labor problem 1t
would be well not to be too precipitate

traces of opposition.
The marriage look place in 1s47, and
the young couple made a short we'd
ding tour through Switzerland and
Italy. At Venice Bismarck acciden-
tally met King Frederick William ~.
Of Prussia. He was commanded to at
tend the royal dinner table, and a lone
conversation ensued between him and
the king on German politics. The
foundation of his political fortune was
made in this conversation.
Bismarck was taken n wares by the

had no court dress with him. He was
obliged to borrow one. but the suit was
not made for a man of his proportions
and fitted him so badly that he cut a
poor figure. He had been for some
months previously a member OF the
Frankfort diet. This meeting with the
king eventually led to his appointment
as Prussian ambassador to that body.

pressed In these missives. When in

When City Attorney Creswell took office, a few days after the judgment was rendered, he appealed the case to the Supreme Court. but despite the most earnest and persistent efforts made bv him he failed to secure a new trial owing to the fatal error committed in the first instance of not putting in evidence to prove the title of the city.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

"A FoSitNc SurS TOT DySpSpSia
 This may read as though we were putting it little strong because it is generally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic form is incurable, or practically so. But we have long since shown that Dyspepsia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as it first appears.
 The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves, or going to opposite ex- tremes or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with "bitters," after dinner piIls," etc, which invaria- bly, increase the difficulty even if in some cases they do give a slight tenn porary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained?
 This is the great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is comparatively new remedy, but its success and popularity leave no doubt as to it's merits.
 The tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stom ach.
 Iic HUH uSSPCpSlc, dSCOld ing to directions, is to eat an abund- ance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be, because as be- fore stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly inactive. To illustrate our meaning plainly, if you take 1900 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it in a temperature of 9S degrees, and put with it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was en- closed within the stomach.
 The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made, because the much abused stomach will be given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia none of them has given so complete and general satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not least in im- portance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money.
