with the living world. One day we

the next we are inhabitants OF a
dead city. We speak neither to our

rocks, but If we are not far enough

A Bismarck Duel.

A duel in which Bismarck was once
engaged had a very amusing origin.
1t occurred when he was chief seere-
tary Of the Prussian legation at Frank
fort. He went much into society and
one Christmas attended big ball.
During the height OF the festivities
Bismarek's attention was directed to
an exceedingly pompous Individual who
strutted about the room. This was n
M. dc Clancy, a noted French duelist.
Later on this important individual
took part in the dance. but having
omitted TO leave his hat at the proper
place had pcrforce to hold it ont al
most at arms length while he danced.
The spectacle tickled Bismarck inn
mensely and as the Frenchman came
sailing majestically along, Bismarck
stepped forward and dropped n 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.
