OF an interview-with Bismark in 1867
IN which they discussed the Austrian
war, Carl Schurz says.
Then he came TO speak of the bat

anxious moment in II before the ar

of the Austrians when some Prussian
attacks had failed and there we're signs
of disorder among the repulsed troops.

Sometimes Too We'll Trained a Mem.
ory Plays Rather Odd Tricks.
Very often folks get to know thing
so we'll that they don't have to think
to remember it. Take. for instance.
your home address. II you have been
living in the same house in the same
street for years your address gets
easier and easier to recall. Except,
sometimes. 1t doesn't take the influ-
ence of liquor to make you forget
either. It merely is that you know it
too we'll.
There was man who was in the
habit of writing letters to girl. and
after year or so he got to know
her address by heart. One day, long
after he started writing to her. he was
addressing an envelope to the young
woman. when suddenly he became
suspicious of the number he had writ
ten. He read it aloud and tried other
schemes of convincing himself He
wrote the same numbers on other
sheets of paper, but they did not seem
entirely right.
Eventually he had to go over to call
on the girl, instead of writing. in Or
der to satisfy himself that he still
knew the address. His figures had
been perfectly all right. but the trou.
BILE was that he knew them too we'll.
That sometimes occurs to person
giving an address in a store. 1t slips
out SO naturally that when by chance
the sharman repeats BLANK Blankety
Blankth street?" you begin to wonder
if you have it right after all. And the
first breath of suspicion kills your
chances Of remembering correctly.
You simply have to go to the direct
DRY to verify the place you live in and
naturally that leads to suspicious on
the part Of the shopkeeper."

When assistance reached him. Mr..

marck, by christening the Missouri
river steamer Deapolis, owned by Bis.
marck people and intended for service
in. the transportation Of freight north
and south from Bismarck.
The invitation to christen the new
steamer was extended by wire to Mr..
Chain on his way to Bismarck, and
he accepted 1t promptly, when it was
understood that nothing was to be
used in the christening but Missouri
river water in its unauthorized state.
The wharves are about two miles
from Bismarck, and Mr.. Chain and q
party of citizens made the trip in car
riages after brief open-air address
had been made by Mr.. Chain to resi-
dents of the city upon his arrival. The
christening of the Deapolis was dis.
posed of propitious!y.
The growth of the state and the in
crease in the number of towns along
the river has given a new impetus to
river traffic. Back in the late seven

christened Deapolis will be the flag.
