A BISMARCK LETTER.
Interesting Reply I'm Acceptance Of a
Present From an American Citizen.

rom the indianapolis Journal.
One Of the picturesque and interesting
characters introduced to indianapolis
through the medium of Odd Fellows week
was Col. Mark Richards Muckle of Phla-
delphia, who has for a number OF years
been grand treasurer OF the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. Col. MuckIe
is seventy-six years of age but scarcely
looks It, and is far from betraying any
physical indication of the fact
For fifty years past Col Muckle has been
connected in various capacities with the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. During most
of this time he has also been actively iden-
titled with a variety of secret societies and
other organizations. OF German parentage
he has always interested himself I'm matters
pertaining to the welfare of Germans. he
labored earnestly to raise funds for the
widows and orphans of the Franco-Prusslan
war, and was treasurer of the committee
that sent to the fatherland $4,000 for that
purpose.
In 1874 Emperor William decorated Col
Muckle with the Order of the Crown. which
Is fifth in the rank of distinction. and IN
1883 the kaiser bestowed the second dec
oration, the Order of the Red Eagle.
Col Muckle enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing met and shaken hands with eighteen OF
the twenty-siX Presidents the United States
has had. But the distinction of which Col

Dear Sir: You have had the kindness to

From Tit Bits.
A gentleman entered fishmonger's shop
the other morning, and after making
small purchase began friendly talk with
the proprietor.
do your lady customers give you much
trouble?" he inquired.
well, You know they never want to give
the price. 1t seems part of their nature to
beat down everything" answered the fish,
monger.
MY own experience-my own expert
ence," remarked the stranger.
Yes, l quite believe 1t, sir. Now, there's
beautiful salmon at swo-and-ten a pound
Were | to ask one-and-six a pound for it
woman would probably want II fer
shilling-'
well, now, here's a lady coming aero IS
the street Try it on, just for joke. IL
she asks the price of salmon. tell her or p
and-six pound
The fishmonger agreed. and when the
lady entered and made the desired inquiry
he promptly answered:
Very cheap, ma am; only one-and- -sE
pound
Then Fn- take this ONE she as
prernptly exclaimed, pointing to a twenty
FOUNDER, and take IL she did
The gentleman disappeared at that mo-
ment The fishmonger has since discovered
they were husband and wife.

Telephones in the United States.

FT0m Inc AtIahta CONSTITUTION.
Some interesting figures have recently
been compiled by the Electrical World and
Engineer, showing the extent to which tele-
phones are used in the United States, and
according to this authority on the subject
San Francisco leads all the cities of the
country in the number of telephones on
the basis of population.
With 342,7 1872 inhabitants, San Francisco
has Il ,324 telephones. In other words, she
has telephone for every sixteen inhabit-
ants. Boston comes next. She has 500 900
inhabitants and 23,7S0 telephones, or q
telephone for every twenty-four inhabit-
ants. There are nine cities in the United
States which have in excess of 5000 tele-
phones, and the proportion of telephones to
population Is shown in the following table,

Didn't Seen, Right.

From the Baltimore American.
'sThe title you have chosen for your story
does not seem exactly correct" said the
astute publisher.
II don't see why" replied the ambitious
author.
sBut don't you think "The Knights of
Other Days Is rather ambiguous?,
Evening star., 1901-11-23

From the Chicago Post.
''You advertised" said the gullible one,
'that you had discovered the key to sue
cess
True" admitted the fakir.
sWell. 1t didn't help me little bit"
1.-THE reason for that" answered the fa-
kir, pleasantly, 'is that you have been buy
ing the key instead of selling it. 1t has
brought me success"
Evening star., 1901-11-23

We are not In POSSESSION Of the figures
showing the extent to which the telephone
Is used in other cities of the country but
enough light is thrown upon the subject by
the foregoing table to make 1t apparent that
the telephone is rapidly growing into gem
eral use.
