Five hundred peasant girls In the
province of Prussia are forming into
a cavalry regiment to offer to Emperor
William a right royal welcome when
he repairs to his summer hunting
grounds, in Rominten Prairie, at the
close of the yachting season. They are
Lithuanians-of the race that became
N~aous under the Jagellons-and their
mes are in the districts Of Gumbin-
N and Koenigsberg, between the Bal
tic, Russia and Poland. They told their
councilmen and parsons: 1--WE make
one 'condition-our Duke (meaning the
Kaiser) must have no other body

our country we want to be his SOL
diers. We will garrison his castle,
will beat the game for him, will at
tend him on his trips around the coun-
try and see him safely home when he
decides to return" Count Bismarck
communicated with Emperor's court
marshal to find out whether the Of
fer would prove acceptable. The court
marshal wrote: 1T all depends on
the girls; go and look them over" So
his excellency invited his fair petit
TONERS to meet him at Trakehnen, the
celebrated horse farm, and at the same
time arranged with the governor Of the
place for the use Of hall. But If the
hall had been as big as Madison Square
Garden it couldn't have accommodated
the assembly, for every one of the 600
volunteers came on horseback, many
bringing led horses, and all insisted
upon attending the council seated on
their chargers. There was an open
air meeting then, and Count Bismarck,
who is already little stiff in his
Joints, had to mount blooded horse,
despite his rheumatism, and make
speech from the saddle President He
gel of the Gumbinnen district translat-
ed the address into the old Prussian
tongue, for the Lithuanians do not un-
derstand German, and an exchange of
views followed, with this result: "The
provincial government accepts the
services of the Lithuanian women,
with a view of selecting from them 500
to make up regiment. The regiment
Is to be uniformed in the national
dress of the country and select its own
officers, subject to the approval of the

The ready wit for which our present
ambassador to the court Of st. James
was noted in America, and which has
widened the circle of his friends in
England, was also Characteristic of
Rufus Choate, an earlier member Of the
family, and one of the greatest lawyers
America has yet produced. Rufus
Choate's thrusts were, however, not al
ways so goodnatured as are usually
those of the modern representative OF
the family. In describing a party to a
suit In which he was counsel, he once
said, "Why does he not pay back the
money he has SO i'll got? He is such
villain that he wouldn't if he could,
and so much of bankrupt that he
couldn't If he would" Mr.. Choate
also once remarked Of woman: "She
Is a sinner-no, not sinner, for she is
our client; but she is a very disagree
able saint"
