Echo q Hi.marck's Dismissal.
From the London Globe.

AOAlA lAAO CAAA I'VE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
A new version of the events leading up
to Prince Bismarck's dismissal from the
post Of imperial chancellor Is furnished
by the Aargauer Nachrichten. which the
Berliner Tageblatt regards as not Inn
probable, According to this account,
which is published In connection with
the death OF DR.. Roth, late Swiss minis
ter In Berlin. the Swiss federal council
in 1880 desired a workmen's conference to
be held at Berne. whereas Emperor Will
liam II. convened a labor conference at
Berlin, to which Prince Bismarck OBJ
jected. The imperial chancellor thereupon
privately visited DR.. Roth and pressed
him to insist on Berne as the seat Of the
conference. The emperor. hearing Of
Prince Bismarck's visit. himself went to
DIR. Roth at dead OF night and satisfied
himself OF he truth OF the report. The
following day the emperor dismissed
Prince Bismarck and at the same time
presented DR.. Roth with a portrait OF
himself, bearing the autograph inscrip-

PRESIDENTS MAY HAVE
PERSONAL RESIDENCE

Washington. Special: Once more Is the
suggestion brought forward of building
a new residence for the president of the
United States. The idea has been in many
minds for years. This year the public
buildings appropriation bill contained an
item Of $3.50, 600 to purchase a large tract
Of land in a subdivision of Washington,
nominally for park purposes, but. as
many people believe, with the purpose Of
ultimately making it a site for a private
family residence for the president.
The idea is to have two residences, an
official and a personal one. 1t rs not pro-
posed to deprive the beautiful and his.
toric old White House of the place 1t re-
tatns in the traditions and the affections
Of the nation. Rather, the object. is to
preserve 1t as the heirloom of the nation;
an official palace in which the state func-
tions will be held, but more accessible to
the general public than 1t is now, and
to be used as the official building Of the
president. The private residence would
be two miles north, on the second pla-
of the finest residence section of the city,
and accessible from the present White
House by way of a fine boulevard.
The proposed site would be an ideal To-
cation for the private residence of the
president. There is an ample area of
ground, and it is peculiarly susceptible
of landscape gardening and architectural
adornment.
The expectation is that there will be
no immediate demand for placing a new
executive residence upon 1t, and for some
time it will be held as a park. How
ever, the idea Of taking the executive
family's residence away from the White
House grows more certain as the years
pass. In the first place, the section in
which the White House stands is by no
means what it was a generation ago.
The growth of the city has carried the
best residence section farther and far
Their away from the historic old loca-
ton. On one side of the White House
stands the treasury, and at the other the
huge pile occupied by the state, war and
navy departments.
The White House is at best q semi
public building all the time. During GER
tain hours of the day it IS opened to
visitors, who may wander-provided they
are equipped with the easily obtained
cards-through a large part Of the struc-
ture at will. The part Of the structure
in which the real privacy of a home may
be maintained is restricted, and in many
ways unsatisfactory. 1t Is small wonder
that the mistress of the White House
should yearn. as more than one of them
has done, for the privilege of a home
which should be secure from intrusion
and interference.

Fancy Nancy.

"a S~easonable Idyli.)
In the spring a young man' fancy
Lightly turns'-you know the rest.
That's why vernal thoughts of Nancy
Now inlame your poets breast.
Nancy's eyes they shine like planets,
Nancy's hairs like gold refined;
Nancy's waist-well, you could span its
Compass with your hands combined.
Nancy's skin for spotless whiteness
Challenges the driven snow;
Nancy's step for airy lightness
Leaves behind the roe.
Nancy's heat beats true and tender,
Nancy's bosom's free from guile.
And what language e'er could render
Nancy's frank and artless smile?
Ne,er capricloue, ne'er designing,
Never forward, never coy,
She's the girl for whom I'm pining.
She alone's my source of joy.
Only Nance the nuptial fetter
Round my willing neck could tie.
What? You say you've never met herr
It's no wonder. Nor have I!

FROGS HOP OUT

ST. Louis, Special. That there was q

by George Mcguire. engineer of the
ferry boat Minnie and by Captain
and Peter Jost, rivermen. who say they.

II 1t didn't frogs, where did
they come from?, asks Mcguire. "One
minute they weren't here and the next
minute there were thousands and

When the rain began to fal there
wasn't a frog In sight. I thought h
drops sounded pretty loud as theyshit
the deck. 1t wasn't the drops at all.
1t was frogs-little fellows with green
backs and white fronts.
II thought at first that they had Just
climbed up out of h river. But on the
lower deck they were all up near the
bow where 1t was open to the sky. I
vent up on the top deck, which has no
roof. and they were SO thick tina I
could hardly walk.
Then I looked It the levee. The
whole river front vas on the hop. The
frogs were SO thick On the railroad
tracks that a train couldn't have
passed.
I've seen 1t rain fish several tines

Of frogs. OF course they came from
the clods. They just came tumbling
down when it started to rain.
My wharf boat was covered with
them and they We're almost up to the
building line or the levee."
These statements are verified by
Captain Ashlock and Peter Jost. SCENT
lists have noted man instances Of fish
and frogs falling from the clouds DUR
Ing transforms. The accepted theory is
that they are drawn up from lakes and
ponds In a funnel-shaped tornado cloud
and reinain in the air until the cloud
breaks up and falls in the shape Of
rain. sometimes hundreds of miles from
where they were picked up.

The Loom Of Dreams.

I broider the world upon a loom,
/ broider with dreams my tapestry:
Here in a lonely room
I am master Of earth and sea,
And the planets come to me.
I broider my life into the frame,
I broider my love, thread upon thread;
The world goes by with it's glory and
shame,
Crowns are bartered and blood is shed;
I sit and broider my dream instead. :
And the only world is the world Of my
dreams,
And my weaving the only happiness;
For what is the world but what it seems
And who knows but that God. beyond
our guess,
Sits weaving worlds out of loneliness?
