script addressed to Imperial sChan-

of the German empire. Prince Otto
Won Bismarck. duke Of Lauenburg.
We who witnessed his splendid labors,
who look up to him with admiration
as a master OF statecratt, a fearless
fighter in war and peace, a most
devoted son of the Fatherland, and
as a most faithful servant of his
emperor and king, are deeply affected
by the death Of the man whom God,
the Lord fashioned as MS instrument
to achieve the realization Of the un-
dying aspiration of the Germans for
unity and greatness
"rhis is not the moment to enum-
crate all the achievements Of the
great mar who has gone to his rest, or
to refer TO all the cares he bore for
the emperor ard empire and all the
successes he won. They are too mighty
and too manifold. History alone can
do them justice and will enGrlve
them all on brazen tablets,
81 am, however, impelled to give
expression before the whole world to
the universal sorrow and grateful
admiration which today animates the
whole nation, and in the name of the
nation to vow that what he, the great
chancellor, under William the Great,
created, | will maintain and develop,
and, If need be, defend with blood and
treasure.

"A certain dealer in coal and wood who
has yard and office on Eleventh Street

talent when he has any painting to be

One quiet afternoon several weeks ago
he was accosted by a seedy individual
who bore the earmarks of the grade of

'You say you'll do it for a quarter?"
asked the coal man.
Yes, sir, fur quarter to get bed
with"
The coal dealer saw good bargain and
Immediately sent for n can of vel ow
paint as the fence was painted a dead
black. The ''mush fakir'' produced two
unhealthy looking brushes from an inside
pocket and at once began work
Now the office was at the left end of
the fence, and the "mush fakir'' realized
suddenly that should he paint the word
office" the sign would point to the right
end and away from the office.
He scratched his head and thought hard
for time. until the coal dealer came out.
"I am going down street for half
hour" said the latter. you wait for me
and I'll give you your quarter"
The ''mush fakir'' resumed his wrestle
with the problem of pointing out the Of

to right.
At last bright idea struck him and he
started to paint like machine.
