On a table a piece of paper on which
were written some unintelligible
phrases and below in a plain, bold

the chief Of police, and he beat q hasty

A Voice from tho Grave.

Bismarck never deemed it possible
that England and Germany should
ever stand In arms against each other.
German and English discrepancies Of
opinion, he said, were never Of such
Importance as not to permit of ad-
5ustment by honest purpose and skill
full diplomacy. It almost seems as
though Bismarck had pronounced this
utterance for use at the present mo-
ment.-Budapest Poster Lloyd.
