A atrAnuous Mnnar-

'@The "reminiscences OF Bismarck"
contains an account Of his courtship.
He was a young Prussian officer when
be first met Johanna von Puttkamer,
but he made application at once to her
father for permission to pay his ad-
dresses. Aghast at Bismarck's pro
pOsal, the old gentleman did not abso-
lutely decline 1t. Instead he wrote Civ
ing permission to pay a sort OF visit
Of inspection" at the Puttkamer home.
Bismarck FASTENED to ReinfeId. The
whole Puttkamer family was lined up
to greet him. The father and mother
giared at him solemnly, and Johanna
herself stood between them, her eyes
east mOdestly downward. With the
swift, whirlwind decision that scored
Bismarck his later political triumphs
he carried the situation by storm
Galloping up the driveway, be leaped
from his horse, ran forward and flung
his arms around Johanna. taking no
heed OF her scandaliZed parents and
catching her 10 his breast and cover
ing her blushing face with kisses.
After that there could be no talk OF
probation" or waiting" The betroth
al was necessarily an accepted fact.

In a book entitled Stories Of the

He disliked 10 part with his pictures

look Of detection and oppression. II

Once a rich Birmingham manufao-
turer, elliott by name, introduced
himself to the painter and stated THAI
he had come 20 buy.
"Don't want TO sell" or some such
laconic rebuff was the answer.
The manufacturer then drew from
his pocket a bundle Of banknotes, about
1900 worth.
Mere paper" observed Turner, with
grim humor. = little softened, how
ever, and evidently enjoying the joke.
'%ro be bartered for mere canvas"
replied the persistent elliott, waving
his hand at the Building Of Car

This tone OF cool depreciation seem
ed to have a happy effect and finally
elliott departed with some 1900
worth OF Turner's pictures.
