Revival of Business,

"Elkton has been exceptionally
dull in business circles for the past
three weeks. The merchants are
all complaining and several of them
have sold out, and others intend to
do so. Every day looks like Sun
day, which is gratifying to those
whose living is not contingent
upon trade.n
This is what the Democrat re-
ports. There must certainly be
some mistake. The editor or his
sharp eyed reporter ought to take
another careful look round town.
Are we not told by the Republican
papers which were never known to
tell lie, that prosperity is raining
down over the land like mamma on
the Israelites.
1t is true that the race horse is
gone, and Singerly is gone, and the
Republican party feels considerable
goneness, but things can't be so
bad as the Democrat represents.

BIsMARck's PHYSICIAN.

How tho Famous DR.. schweninger Be-
came the Princes Best Friend.
The late Prince Bismarck Is physician,
the famous DR.. Sohweninger, was said
to be the only man who had any real
influence over Bismarck. For years the
chancellor had been troubled with IA
cial neuralgia, and after several special
lists had tried in vain to cure him Count
Herbert Bismarck suggested that DR..
Schweninger be consulted. His father
assented, and the doctor came and
straightway began to question and yex-
anime his patient. Unacoustomed to
restraint Of any kind, Bismarck could
not contain himself under this ordeal
and exclaimed impatiently: "Oh, have
done with your long winded questions! !!
don't see their use, and they are tir-
ing me to DEATH" g t@
"They tire you, ehf" said Sohwenin.
ger coolly. $50 you want me to cure
you, and yet you won t take the trouble
to answer my questions? It seems to
me that you ought to have called in a
veterinary surgeon, for these gentlemen
cure their patients without asking them
any questions. s.. -
Bismarck could hardly believe his
ears. Clinohing his fists, he rose from
his chair and glared at Sohweninger In
speechless rage. Schweuiuger smiled
imperturbably at him.. and gradually
the chancellor cooled, and finally he re-
sumed his seat and said: ''If you can.
not cure me without all this formality.
go ahead with your questions It will
certainly be great relief to me Il find
that your medical skill is on par with
your ability to make impairment re
