lister on the retirement of his father

man not appreciated by his sovereign
and who was waiting in the back
ground for an opportunity to resume
his career.
His delivery as parliamentary
speaker improved year by year. lie
always declined to join any political
group, steadfastly calling himself an
independent. His naughty and I'M
perious manners in early life. when
he was ever conscious OF the iact
that he was the son of the most pow
erful statesmen nj Europe, softencd

Prince Bismarck's father trained
him for his successor as chancellor
of the German empire and advanced
him rapidly in the diplomatic servic"
until at the age of 40, he was minis

ton he took part in nearly every I'M
nortant international transaction.
