douhtedly be fourteen stories high.

made for eight stories and the con-
tract for q building Of this size has

Prince Bismarck once told a story OF
the battlefield of Koeniggratz. The old
emperor. then king Of Prussia. had
exposed himself and his staff to the
enemy's fire in q very reckless fash
ion and would not hear Of %retreating
to q safe distance. At last Prince Bis
marck rode up to him. saying: "As a
responsible minister l must insist upon
your majesty's retreat to a safe dis
lance. If your majesty were to be
killed the victory would be Of no use
to u.s." The king saw the force Of this
end slowly retreated. but in his zeal
returned again and again to the front.

went on, 81 only rose in my saddle

No woodcutter will go about his

accompanied by 81 faker. who Is sup
posed to exercise power over tigers
and wild animals generally. Before
work is commenced the faker assem-
bles all the members Of his party in a
clearance at the edge of the forest and
erects q number of huts, In which he
places images of certain deities. After
offerings have been presented to the
images the particular forest is declar-
ed to be free of tigers. and the wood
cutters in virtue Of the presents they
have made to the deities are supposed
to be under their special protection.

Then a pair Of her old shoes that had

Of his socks rolled lovingly together.
Then a pair Of his discarded slippers
and q fur trimmed skirt.
Then one Of his day shirts and a
half used cake Of sapolio.
Then a calico apron which she gen.

Then a dump Of stuff consisting Of
hairpins, a tapeline, a piece Of chalk,
a cookbook, an almost toothless back
comb and a lair, Of his soiled cuffs.
These were dumped in to fill a certain
cavity.
Then came a strata Of socks and

At the bottom Of the trunk were two
ragged waists, a pair Of Mr.. Bowser's
trousers, five of his collars. one odd
slipper, two ostrich plumes, some arti-
fetal flowers and q yard Of old lace.
Mrs. Bowser had the things all out
of the trunk and on the floor when he

sat down he said:
