the place with my young wife late in
the autumn, and about the first of the
following March l was attacked with
typhoid fever and was Ill for about a
month. But thanks TO a naturally
strong constitution, and the careful

wife, slowly recovered.

wholesome; second, that it shall be

the best example of such baking pow

Prophesied Teddy's Greatness.

More entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the Minkwitz family. Frau Fischer
distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness of
young Teddy. She says: zone day I

replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one day

train, and the one on which my wife
was coming.
Toward the middle Of the afternoon
the rain ceased falling and the clouds
slowly cleared away. The dream had
made such an impression on my mind
that l resolved to attempt to find the
stream l had seen SO plainly in my
dreams, and If it appeared at all dan
gerous to attempt to stop the train be-
fore reaching it. Accordingly, soon
after the rain was over 1 got ready
and started. l had never before had
occasion to visit the station in this di-
rectiOn, and was therefore entirely un-
acquainted with this part Of the coun-
try. But l found everything just as 1t
had appeared in my dream.
Immediately after starting l passed
through the wood l had seen in my
dream, and then entered the open field
and found the two farmhouses one
inhabited and the other deserted. In
fact, everything was as natural as II

walked slowly, and late in the after
noon l came to the stream, which
flowed rapidly and seemed much
swollen. But the bridge, instead of
being broken down and mingled with
the broken cars and mangled passen-
gers, was still standing, and though
its timber looked quite old and
weather beaten, there seemed to be
little danger of Its breaking down be-
meath the weight Of a passing train
There was heavy freight train due
from the west about o'clock, and
resolved to wait until at least 1t came,
and If 1t passed over in safety there
could be, thought, but little danger
Of accident to the lighter passenger
train.
In due time it came laundering
along and passed safely over the bridge.
But, though 1t might have been owing
to my excited Imagination, 1t seemed
to me that the bridge bent and shook
beneath the weight of the train in n
manner highly suggestive of danger.
At all events, resolved to wait
while longer and see If the stream,
which was still rising, would have any
apparent effect upon the bridge. took
with me a lantern and also a thick
blanket to protect me from the damp
night air.
Shortly after sunset, as I was sitting

TINE NAY or THE TRANS
GREssoR.

Among the inmates OF the jail Is
young man Of rather handsome
face and decidedly innocent features,
who informed the Chief reporter on
the occasion of his visit to that in
stitution Wednesday. that he was
under sentence to the pen for falsely
making oath to the county clerk that
the girl whom he wanted to marry
was of legal age. Ii was a decidedly
pitiful case--the young man had
gained the girls consent. but had
failed to win over the parents, and
in his perplexity he resolved to risk
all on an erroneous affidavit that
the girl was legal mistress of her
own mind. He paved the game and
iost--lost his liberty and the girl,
too. for a while To the casual
mind the penitentiary Is TOO vigorous
punishment for such an obliquity.
Bue when we reflect that girl un-
der as is usually iudiscrete as well

must realize how important It is that

confirmed by references to its members on almost
every page OF German history since the eleventh
century. But they formed part of the petty nobil-
ity. and until the other day enjoyed no rights OF
representation in the Herrenhaus
According TO popular old poem the family was
founded by a scion of one of the prncey houses of
the Wends. who had been disowned and driven
out from among his people for having embraced
Christianity Losing his way In forest and
filled with despair to his future he suddenly
heard the word 'Bulow. Bulow," and looking up

trunk of oak followed by age. Putting his
hand into the hole through which the bird had
entered. he found the interior of the tree full OF
pieces of gold, which became the foundation of the
fortunes OF the family 1t is TO this that are at
trtbuted the bird with a gold ring in Its beak and
the gold coins that figure in the armorial bearings

During the twelfth thirteenth and fourteenth
cneturies six Bilows figured Bishops of Schwerin
In the fifteenth century Bulow was appointed
by the Elector of Brandenburg first Chancellor of
the University of Frankfort-on- the Oder Another
Bulow Grand Master Of the Household to the
first Queen of Prussia ano her Ministe OF War

distinguished themselves as generals in the Seven

the same family was Minister OF Foreign Affairs
to Frederick William ". The latter's brother and
successor had the present Chancellor's father as
his Secretary of State. while there at least
four Bulows holding active commands generals
in the army.
From this it will be seen that the family Of Count
Bernard Won BuIow. actually the Chancellor of the
empire and Premier of Prussia and who pro-
NOTED from his rank OF baron to that of count some
time ago. is well represented both IN the ancient
and modern history Of his native land.

Crown, with which the Herrenhaus has quite often
found itself in conflict.
