A Bismarck Duel.

A duel in which Bismarck was once
engaged Mad Il very amusing origin.
1t occurred when he was chief secre-
tary of the Prussian IcgI lion ut Frank
fort. He went much into society and
one Christmas attended big ball.
During the height of the festivities
Bismarck's attention was directed to
an exceedingly pompous individual Who
strutted about the room. This was n
NJ. &c Clancy. noted French duelist.
Later on this important individual
took part in the Gance. but having
omitted to leave his hat at the proper
place had perforce to hold it out al
most at arms length while he danced.
The spectacle tickled Bismarck i'm
mensely, and, as the Frenchman came
sailing majestically along. Bismarck
stepped forward and dropped coin
into the hat. A duel was one of the
next days events. Though it was with
pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt, while
his adversary was wounded.

PROVED HIS ABILITY.
A Tenderfoot's Wonderful Feat In
Herding Sheep.

- WonuST'Gi w
Herdins Sheep.
In the west they tell this story about
the east, perhaps by way of retalia-
ton for some of the tall stories about
the west that they tell down east.
A young man, just graz 'uated from
an eastern institution Cf learning,
went to the west and applied at n
large ranch for job.
what can you do?' asked the
owner.
Nothing much, but I'm willing to
work and can learn" replied the eager
applicant.
Know how to ride a horse?"
"No, never rode one il my life"
Rather slim chance for you to be
useful here, I'm afraid"
What have you to do for man if
he could ride"
"Herding sheep"
Il think | could get along ut that
very well without horse"
Young man, I'm afraid you don't
know much about this business. have
a large ranch here and some thou
sands of sheep. A man without horse
would make a pretty poor show"
well, I'll tell you; when l was at
college l was the champion sprinter
of the institution. l believe l could
do you some good service. l have a
long distance record too: l wish you'd
give me n chance and let us see what
l can do"
With a good natured but plying
smile the ranchman said all right and
bade his new man to get some supper,
turn in and be ready to go to work
early the next morning.
When the employer rose next morn
ing he saw the new employee coming
in from the direction of the sheep
quarters. Somewhat surprised at the
young fellows enterprise in getting up
so early, he accosted him:
Well, you're up and ready to go to
work, are you"
"Oh, my, yes! I've been at work
for two or three hours"
Then the ranchman noted that the
tenderfoot was dressed in working
clothes, II sweater, and already looked
rather flushed "What have you been
dOing" he asked.
Driving those lambs into the cor
ral."
What lambs? have no lambs. This
is not the lamb season.
''Well, / chased eighty-fve of them
in, and ! tell you I had time of it
too"
The ranchman went with the young
tenderfoot to see what the story he
told wos about.
And, sure enough, huddled up togeth-
er, frightened and tired out, were
eighty-five wild jackrabbits.
"All right young man; think you'll
do" said the ranchman.-Chicago Rec

Don't Be Too Thouqhtful.

Some people are often accused of be-
ing thoughtless, but better that should
happen sometimes than always being
regarded as too thoughtful. The habit
of thinking too deeply ON every item
has an immense amount of failure at
the bottom.
Whether 1t was best to learn short
hand or language peiplexed one in
dividual for seven months. He could
not make up his mind us 20 which he
would derive the most advantage from.
He might have learned any one Of
those accomplishments in the time he
took to think about it.
This is the case with many people,
and Fortune has an awkward habit of
crushing the too thoughtful just as
much as the thoughtess.-L London An

There is a quiet village in Kent that

YOU ask your way to 1t you must call
Ii Starchfeil or you will never find it.

What Is Sound?

The natural question, What is
sound?" opens up world of mystery
and of delight to those that like that
sort of thing, Anything that sets up
vibrations in the air, where there is an
ear to receive them makes a noise.
An alarm clock in Il vacuum jar may
whir ever so busily, but it makes no
noise. There must be air or there is no
sound, and there must be an ear to
carry the vibrations to the brain or
there is no noise.-DelineatOr.
