thinker and statesman for the purpose
of ~reorganizing and unifying it into a
mighty empire. For there was born on
April l, 1916, at Sch%onhausen, a youth
who afterwards proved to be just the man
needed. This youth Otto Leopold Bis
marck, was Of good %parentage n
through his veins flowed some of the best
blood that was to be found between the
Baltic and Elbe. Young Bismarck's
school days began with his entrance into
the boarding school at Berlin and ended
with his graduation from the law college
at the same place. His career as a school
boy, although somewhat checkered, show
ed hard study and careful preparation Of
lessons.
For his faithful service to the govern
ment he was sent as ambassador to Rus
STA to watch the interests of his govern
ment there. For If there were any po-
lltical castles or ~strongholds to be sub
jected. Bismarck was the man to do it;
and it is said that this epoch marks the
foundation Of his future greatness.
His whole life may be expressed in
the simple sentence. THE founder Of the
German empire" but in this age no other
individual has done so much for the wei
fare OF his country as has Bismarck for
Germany. AS a servant of the govern
ment he certainly was a faithful one, hav-
ing been in it's employ for a period Of
more than 20 years. AS a politician and
statesman he had cut few equals. His
policy as a general rule was one of war.
but he never entered into one unless he
considered it an inevitable necessity. His
mission was undoubtedly that of a uni
fer and parliamentarian. and in this as
pect we need only to consider Germany
and her standing among the nations in
order to see the success Of his mission.
His career has been ore Of the most brill
diant that has graced the pages of Eu-
ropean history and the name and fame
which he achieved for himself and coun-
try will remain immortal in the minds Of
the future generations Of the civilized
world.

GEOLOGY IN COMMERCE"-GU
JOB.


In reviewing the amount of scientific
research that has been going on in the
last few years we find that the great
est activity has been displayed in geol-
Ogy; n foremost in this line of work
Is the geological survey of the United
States, whose researches are %unequaled.
In this country every state usually
supports a geological survey and in
these reports descriptions of commercial
and economic geology are found.
Like chemistry, mathematics and other
sciences, geology will in time to come be
the leading subject of scientific research;
In chemistry we learn the value of mary
substances and the manufacture OF many
articles of food, such as sugar: in mathe-
mates, the value of trigonometry in sur
veying and calculus in mechanics; while
IN geology the formation of the earth,
coral islands and Of many deposits, as
limestone, silica and iron. Ii the manu-
facture of sugar we need a good chemist

sugar beet; so in geology we need an as
sayist to determine the amount of the
metal IN the ores. Ores are OF import
ance nd are very rare with the excep-
ton OF iron; they occur in beds and veins,
The gold and silver produced in the
United States is obtained through quartz
and placer mining chiefly; copper is pro
duced through copper pyrites. The
regions of Lake Superior and Montana
have the largest copper mines in the
&, world.
In history geology has also played ar
important part; by determining the an
nual deposit of the Nile the geologis,
can tell when the pyramids and monu.

"READING AND MENTAL CUI
TURE'-KATHERINE QUILL.

Reading DIS the gaining of thought by
means of written or printed language,
or first, it is the power to gain from the
written or printed page the thoughts and
feeling expressed; and the power of so
delivering the words orally that the same
thought and feeling shall tc awakened
in the hearers mind. The reading Of
good books gives as the best of life's ben
etits. Here is where we can be in close
intimacy with the noblest of intellccts
or in communion with the best thoughts
Of the ages. In reading, we hould take
what we read into our brains. which are
the laboratories, study it with due earn
estness and then reject or utilize accord
| ing to conviction. We should read with
attention. To gain the power and habit
of attention is a great difficulty. The
! want of this habit is why so many find
reading tiresome; let them acquire this
habit of attention, and reading, instead
Of being a task, becomes a pleasure.
Culture is the training of discipline by
which mans moral intellect and physi-
cal nature is elevated. The result of such
training is refinement. How books Of
noble sentiment, Of heroic sacrifice, Of
great purposes draw US out from our
selves n cause us to all live in new re-
%lationship.
Shall we find our pleasure in the Did
books or in the new? In both, I answer.
A new books is as a guest just arrived
from a foreign land. We give it the
warmest and most courteous welcome.
If we hav heard it's name previously,
our interest is doubled. We feel as if it
had brought us a Letter Of Introduction.
To a genuine lover of books a new book
has a peculiar fascination.
Young women should read more gener-
ously and devote more attention to sub
stantial nourishment, as history, biogra-
ply, philosophy, science.
Reading has discovered to some men
their talents, as to Jonathan Edwards,
the m~etaphysician and ~theologian, who.
by his study Of philosophy, gave the
world his treatise on the freedom of the
will, which is the strongest and best ar
gument Of it's kind since st. Paul.

KAISER WILHELM HARRY TAI
LEM

AT a time when much is being written
OF a possible dissolution of the friendly
relations which have hitherto been
maintained between the United States
and the German empire, the character
of Emperor William II takes on new in
terest for Americans.
Frederic William Victor Albert. the
third emperor of reunited Germany, was
born at Berlin, Jan. q, 1854.
William ii is gifted with such a strik-
ing combination of both mind and will as
has distinguished no of the
Prussian throne since it was vacated by
Frederic the Great.
He was given a public school education
which was the first of it's kind in the his
tory of the Hohenzollerns. Just after he
finished schOOl he married the Princess
Victoria and then devoted himself to mil
itary duties. He first served in the First
Foot Guards and then in the Hussars of
the Guard, where he soon became colonel.
Never had any German prince entered
the army with less apparent fitness from
the physical point of view to become a
brilliant and dashing cavalry officer
than Prince William.
At the death of his father Prince Will
liam was now Kaiser Wilhelm II. His
father aimed to be a citizen king, but he,
on the contrary, wanted above all things
to be a soldier sovereign. eve belong 20

Therefore let us look back In the an
nails Of history. about one-half century
before the Christian era, and we find
that the empire of Rome c~Omprehended
the fairest part of the earth. During
this era the Romans were triumphant
in every conquest, but it was reserved
for one man to ~relinquish this ambitious
desire to subdue he whole earth and
introduce a spirit of moderation into
public councils. This a who was to
undertake this task, was Caesar Angus
tus. Born of a family of distinction,
both ancient n rich. it seems but
natural that Augustus should hand down
to us a brilliant history. He was but
four years old at the time of his fathers
death, so at the early age Of 16 he as
sumed the robe of manhood.
The reign of Augustus, otherwise
known as the Augustan age. was one
OF the brightest in Rome's history; 1t
was the 6 of power and glory. of
Rome, of general peace n prosperity.
During the widespread peace of this
reign occurred n of the most extra
the nativity of the Savior of mankind.
that which has since introduced a new
epoch into the chronology of all Chris
tan nations. This age was also pc
culiarly favorable to literary activity.
for, being an age of peace, literature
found the highest development possible
under it's quiet influence.
Horace, 'the wit that never wounded,
the poet that ever charmed is remem-
bered by his %satires, in which he imi-
tates earlier writer's, and himself says:
THE shafts of my passion at random I
flung,
And dashing headlong into petulant
rhyme, o."
I rocked neither where, nor how fiercely
I stung."
The death of Augustus brought an
end to this illustrious reign. And this
noble mar passed away, who had been
like a
Tower of strength,
Which stood full square to all winds

In reviewing the history Of Rome VIC
find that the "Augustan age forms one
of the most remarkable periods in the
history of human intellect.

whole group. only the large island of Bou-
gainville remaining under the German flag.
As to Samoa itself probably the agree
ment is more satisfactory than a relin-
punishment by Germany of her holdings.
The German plantation interests in both
tpolu and Savaii are sufficiently large to
make IT somewhat questionable whether
these large islands would have been
smoothly administered by England. Now
1t would seem that the chances for friction
have been reduced to minimum.
The United States retains Tutuila for a
coaling station. This is in accordance with
the general understanding. In view of the
new American establishments in the Pacific
islands the retention of this harbor and is
land will be considered more necessary
than heretofore. 1t insures effective land
ing and coaing facilities at two places in
the Pacific archipelago. Guam and Tutuila.
about $500 miles apart, 1000 miles more
than the distance from Tutuila to Homo
lulu Thus Tutuila becomes merely is
land outpost, well down in Polynesia.
The mere fact that England and Ger
many have been able to solve this embar-
RAISING problem at such juncture reveals
that the differences between those two
countries are more imaginary than real.
1t may be, of course, that Germany has
taken advantage of England's present ne
cessitieS, or that England has astutely
played upon Germanys hope to take such
an advantage. In any event the fact re-
mains that it has been possible by the SIM
plest of processes to unite a knot which
has entangled the three powers for years
in dangerous proximity to the possibility of
serious friction.

With the exception of Kentucky the re-
suits of the elections held yesterday are
now quite clear. Those in Massachusetts,
Iowa, Pennsylvania. New York and Mis-
sissippi were assured In advance. the only
question being as to the size of the ma or-
tiles. Last night the election of Smith in
Maryland and Holconb in Nebraska was
clearly shown before midnight, leaving at
that hour only Ohio and Kentucky in ques-
ton. Ohio then tended strongly toward a
republican result, although there were
fluctuations in the returns which were per-
picking The agricultural districts, always
late in reporting, showed such heavy re-
publican gains, however. that the election
of Nash by very large plurality was vir-
tually conceded by morning. and just now
the only doubt is as to whether the plural
ity will go beyond 10000.
Kentucky is even yet in doubt, with both
sides claiming the state and the legislature.
There Is a difference between the claims
however, those of the republicans being
larger and more confident, figuring 15.OOO
