When a German comedian opens his
coat and discloses a green waistcoat.
When a comedy acrobat fails down

When performer asks the orchestra
header if he is married man.
When a black face comedian says
something about a chicken.
When performer starts to rise from
a chair and the drummer pulls a res

When the drummer suddenly beats
the drum during comedians song
and the latter stops and looks in his
direction.
When n tramp comedian turns
around and discloses a purple patch
or several pearl buttons or target
sewed on the seat of his trousers.
When the funny member of the
troupe of instrumentalists interrupts
the progress of a melody by sounding
discordant note on his trombone.
When a clown of a team Of acrobats
nOises himself to do q presumably diff

A STORY OF BISMARCK
How He Entertained the Pretty ,cou.
sins of His Count Friend.

In his university days Bismarck wa,
as Jolly and bOiSterous as the leas,
promising youth of his generation
According to the author of The NJ p
FOR RUSSIA he enjoyed dancing and
singing better than study and was as
| full of fun as his chosen companion
Count Keyserling, was deficient in it
tnQ on this difference in temperament
hangs Il tale. '''
one day the shy and reserved Key
serllng came to Bismarck in great agi-
| tation. ,7F9
What is the matter?' demanded
Bismarck
MY mother writes that an aunt
and two cousins are coming for a week
to Berlin, and, as they are very young
ana inexperienced, ] must go about
everywhere with them, Offering them
all sorts of amusemcnts. 1t is most
enjoying groaned keyserling. "as /
have to prepare myself for examina-
tions and have no time for pretty
cousins
Bismarck saw his chance and imme-
diately inquired:
Have you ever seen these young
girls? Have they ever seen you?"
Never in my life"
Capital! Nothing could be better.
Let me be Count Keyserling for the
time being. and you become simple
Bismarck. You stay at home, and
shall become first class cicerone dur
ing all the time of their visit"
keyserling eagerly accepted the
proposition. When the young ladies'
arrived. Bismarck met them as Key
scrling and placed himself at their
disposition during their stay in Ber-
lin keyserling buried himself in his
books and thought no more about it
until the girls had gone home to the
Baltic provinces.
A week or two later he was discon-
certed by receiving letter from home
in which his mother expressed her
great delight in hearing from the
young ladies and their mother how i'm
mensely they had enjoyed themselves
and how very agreeable and kind their
cousin had been.
Il am overjoyed," continued the fond
parent" to hear from their description
that you have grown quite stout and
robust since your stay at Berlin
Exchange.
