A Bismark Anecdotc.

One day young Swede, a student at the
University of Berlin, received letter from
his uncle saying that his daughter, the young
mans cousin, would stop in Berlin for few
days on her way to Ems, and would he kindly
meet her and show her the city. The mail
coach arrived and with it the young lady,
who found a fine looking young fellow with
vivid boutonnier awaiting her arrival. He
accom- panied her to the hotel. The follow
ing m rning he called and took her driving
in an elegant brougham. These attentions
continued during the three days of her visit.
The lady appeared overjoyed at the galan-
try of this cousin, whom she had never met
before. On the day of her departure, while
assisting her into the mail coach, the young
man said: 81 cannot let you depart without
making a confession" The lady blushed
and dropped her eyes. 81 must tell you
that am not your cousin. Your cousin is
a friend of mine. He had no time to accom-
pAny you, having to cram for his examina-
tons, so he babe me take his place. {" In
Heavens n ,me who are you then ?" cried
the lady. The young man handed her his
card The position blew his trumpet,
the mail coach rolled away, as the young
lady read this name on the card, Otto Won

Young Upton went to London with a Dor

for advertising. That was the time when
the 900 per-day advertising houses were
an unknown proposition, so that is it not sur

heads at his scheme. But the scheme
worked to perfection. Marking his goods at

that could be found anywhere in London,
had them carefully scraped and cleaned tied
pink ribbons around their necks and sent
them wadding through the crowded streets,
each led by man dressed in pink, and
having between them another man carrying
a banner upon which were inscribed the
words 1--WE are going to Liptons pink tea.
Come along youself!" OF course the
shop was crowded within an hour. The low
prices caught the peoples fancy, too, and
business became so brisk that instead of
serving behind the counter as he originally
intended for about year, anyway, Upton
was compelled to employ dozen clerks to
do that work while he attended exclusively
to the getting out of new advertising lodges
