DOcToRING THE MAN OF IRON
Some Peculiarities of Bismarck
Noted by the ChanceIIOr's
Physician.

DR.. Sohwenninger, who, was Bismarclcs
physician for eighteen years. remarked in
the course of a recent address in Vienna
that he saw the chancellor weep three
times; when the old emperor died, when
his wife died, and when he was dismissed
from office. This last affected him so
deeply that 1 feel inclined 10 assert that
had 1t not come, he would perhaps be
still living" The doctor had tried to
convince the young emperor that the al
legations, made as to Bismarck's incom-
petence because OF his addiction, to alcohol
and morphine were untrue. The chan
oellor did not habitually use morphine,
and his not being an 'Alkoholiker" was
attested by the steadiness of his hand
HE could shoot bird on the wing, and,
like Tell, he could have hit the apple on
his sons head during the last years Of
his life. DR.. Schwenninger gave an in
teresting account of how he came to be
Bismarck's physician. II was through the
chancellor's son, to whom a friend had
recommended the doctor. Count Wilhelm
Bismarck weighed 296 pounds when he
was taken in hand. Ten months later he
weighed l76 pounds, and looked so changed
that the doctor did not recognize him.
Then came the princes turn. DR.. schwen-
ninger denies that Bismarck did not want
TO answer his questions, whereupOn he
had said to him; Then you had better
get a veterinarian" He did have an
even harder time than he had had with
the son TO persuade the prince to obey
him absolutely, which was the condition
OF his remaining with him. Once, when
Bismarck had drunk without permission
six glasses Of butteTmilk. the doctor
packed his trunk and was on the point Of
leaving when sudden attack OF internal
trouble induced him TO remain. on an
other occasion, a conference OF ministers
had to be postponed because the doctor
would not allow the chancellor TO be
awakened; his message to the statesmen
was; The princes health is more i'm
portant than all ministers and all poll
tics. New York Post

HOT BATTLE WITH A BEAR
Forest Ranger, After killing n Cub,
Has to Account to Its
Mother.

When Forest Ranger Samuel Lebo OF
Lucullus, MeHenry township. ,Philadel-
phia- heard his dog barking over against
the ridge the other afternoon, and he
flung his rifle across his Shoulder and
started down the fire lane in the direction
Of the baying. he didn't have any idea
Of the excitement that was in store for
him. He had seen bear tracks at spring
over that way several days before, but
the season for cunning Bruin not yet
having come in he paid no particular at
tention to this, as bear tracks in that
section Of McHenry township are almost
as common as sheep tracks would be up
in Tioga county.
The other day when his dog hit the
trail and began to bay its echoing
chorus along the chestnut ridge, how
ever, Lebo scootedA He reached point
where the fire lane intersects an old road
just in time TO see two cubs making for
the thick alders near the spring. Ono
shot and the little fellow in the rear went
down among the leaves with squeai.
The forward bear succeeded in getting
out of sight before he could shoot again.
Lebo was bending over the fallen
youngster when he heard something snap
ping twigs back OF him. He turned just
in time to find himself confronted by an
old she bear. which in her first attack
knocked his rifle from his hands and
went after him in hammer-and-tongs
style. Lebo's dog was upon the bear in
an instant, and thus afforded Lebo
temporary advantage while the bear
turned its attention to its canine tor
mentor; but not long enough for him to
recover his gun, which, though 1t lay
within sight, had been flung at least ten
feet away. Before managing to reach the
spot where the gun lay Lebo had been
landed several blows and cuffs that made
his ears ring. The bear seemed to Know
the meaning of the gun and appeared to
be determined to keep the man from
getting hold of 1t.
Between the bothersome dog and his
own agility, however, Lebo finally sue
seeded in getting far enough out of the
bears reach to lay hold OF his rifle. a
shot at short range sent the bear to its
knees, but It made a desperate attempt
to renew the fight, this time striking the
dog a blow that killed II on the spot. But
its wound prevented the bear from re-
newing the attack, and a second shot fin
ished It,
Lebo would have stopped TO take &C
count Of his hurts just then If something
else hadn't happened. As he turned to-
ward the dead cub he beheld the second
cub nosing around its dead relative. 1t
was unlucky mourning for the second cub,
{ for in another instand 1t, too, lay dead
on the ground.
Lebo found that his coat was torn in
several places and there was a pretty
bad cash on one side OF his neck, where
the bears claw had ''swiped" him, but
aside from that he had come out Of the
battle unscrRtched. The loss OF his bear
dog was the severest of alL-Philadelphia

Skating and coasting will be two Of the

The ice. on Carter lake Is ideal and
many skaters enjoyed themselves there
yesterday. Hanscom and Miller park
were also crowded with lovers OF the
winter sport and as Jnese parks are
lighted up at night, skating there can be
much more enjoyed. The two lagoons in
Kountze park are frozen over and were
crowded with many skaters yesterday
afternoon and evening.
Christmas coasting parties will also be
numerous. especially this ONening and the
time-worn bob sled and the big, long
traveller will come into their own again.
The Parker street hill is one Of the most
favorite meccas OF coasting adherents.
The long hill going down Grand avenue
from the Twentieth street boulevard to
the East Omaha bottoms is also one OF
the favorite haunts for the coasters. On
account Of Its steepness and the swift

hill the youngsters in the north part OF
the city have dubbed II the cut"
