Verdi and BismarcH on Titles

The composer Verdi was offered a
title of nobility by King Victor En-
manuel. 1t was intended that he should
be created Marquis or Comte de Bus
seto, after the estate upon which he
lived. The composer refused the offer
energetically. He considered that Verdi
was somebody and that the Marquis
de Busseto would be nobody.
Even Bismarck was unable to parry
blow Of this character. When the
young emperor broke with him he
conferred upon him the title of Duke
of Luxembourg. Bismarck received the
parchment with this exclamation:
"a pretty name! 1t will be handy
for travelling incognito."
Some days after parcel arrived at
Varzin bearing the address mime. la

being then at table, arose and, offering
the letter to his wife, remarked IRON

morning, you enter Il green underworld
of strange dew bedlamond brilliance,
skirt the head of deep southward
looking valley and emerge upon Il
sunny open plateau beyond Eckle and
,ook down upon Wildsee, circled by the
dark pines of an untouched forest that
stretches away to the blue and distant
hills. 1t is easy here to imagine your
self back in the heart Of the old Ger
manic wilderness, in the heroic days
when Hagen slew Siegfried with
cowards blow. The morning sun glints
upon bright spear tops among the trees
and the wind brings snatches of rough
war songs shouted by barbarian voices.
Your heart swells with the lust of bat
tie and the chase, and IL you have
German blood I'm your veins 1t calls
back through the dark middle ages to
that dim and mystic youthday of the
world when heroes met at the Raven
na Schlacht. Within the hour you
find yourself back in the twentieth
century among motorcars drawn up
beside the hostelry at Ruhestein where

Faithful TO His Trust,

come down when noticed a small boy
sitting in one corner of the hall hold
ing large, thick sandwich. He eyed
the sandwich lovingly for long time,
then he carefully lifted off the top
slice Of bread, took out piece of dill
pickle, ate it and replaced all as be-
fore. In few seconds he again re-
moved the top piece, extracted a piece
of pickle and Il piece of meat and re-
placed the top. Again and again the
performance was repeated until all the
pickle and almost all the meat We're
gone, the sandwich however, appear
ing intact as in the beginning.
"Why don't you eat up your sand
witch and not pick at it in that way?"
