Bismarck's wooing.

The wooing Of the great German
statesman, Bismarck, was character
istic of the forceful nature Of the man.
He first met the Fraulein Won Putt
hammer at a wedding, and was van
quished at first sight Hardly waiting
to remove his wedding garments, he
sat down and wrote to her parents, de-
manding her hand In marriage. AS
Bismarck's reputation was not above
reproach, Herr Won Puttkammer's sur
prise was naturally not altogether
pleasant. However, the bold suitOr
was invited to pay him visit, and
within few hours Bismarck appeared.
The object of his alteration and her
parents were prepared to give him q
formally polite welcome; but Bis
marck's intentions were far more
cordial, for he ignored utterly the ex-
tended hands of the parents, threw his
arms around the daughter, and kissed
her heartily. Before many minutes
had elapsed the impetuous lover was
formally betrothed.
