KING FERDINAND'S TACT
Bismarck's Tribute to the "Coburser"
"A Promising Interview.

Bismarck's Tribute to the "coburser'
A Promising Interview.
About the time of the S0th birthday
of Prince Bismarck I often had the
good fortune to sit at his table, and,
indeed, I was often the only guest be-
sides Professor Won Lenbach, who ac-
tually lived at Friedrichsruhe.
One day, just as We were about to
rise from the table. a deputation was
announced consisting of two Bulgarian
ministers, who wished to pay their re-
spects. Remarkable, very remark
able" said the prince, how those peo-
pie have developed. Once you heard
nothing but jokes, about sheep steal
ers.'" That last expression must have
been overheard by the ministers, two
distinguished and rt-looking men,
as they entered the next room, says a
writer in the Cologne Gazette.
Bismarck received them with that
captivating, almost fascinating, cordi-
ality of his, which must have produc-
ed profound effect on them, for after
accepting an invitation for the evening
or for noon next day they retired with
beaming faces. AS Count Herbert, his
father-i law, Professor Won Lenbach
and myself were sitting with the prince
over our coffee, he with astonishing
frankness expressed his undisguised
admiration of the remarkable skill
shown by Prince Ferdinand in over
coming the difficulties Of his position,
which at first seemed to be insur-
mountable.
In reply to my question: "Then you
have high opinion of the princes tall
ents as a statesman" he said almost
in the tone Of man admiring a great
picture: Yes, yes, the Coburger is
very sharp young man."
Some years later I was calling upon
Professor Won Lenback in his Munich
home when met on the steps an aris-
tocratic-looking man. do you know
who that was?" asked Lenbach, that

cussed with you. You ought not to let

Learning Two Things.-A native OF
Germany, resident in this city, has
learned enough of the American Ian
guage to make his meaning plain
though dramatically some of his SEN
tences are odd. But he is willing to
learn, and enjoys his twisting of the
words as much as his hearers when his
slips are explained to him, says the In
dianapols News.
He has a friend with whom he often
dimes. The other evening the man
from the fatherland surprised his host
by asking for helping of dish which
his host knew he did not used to care
for.
why, Herr Blank" exclaimed the
host. II did not know you could eat
that"
Il used to couldn't, but I am learn
ing to can," said the guest.

Castle Biederstein. II you like will

Castle Biederstein. II you like I will
manage 1t for you with pleasure"
Two days later Prince Ferdinand re-
ceived me with great cordiality in that
little castle where in years gone by he
had frequently been a guest of his Mu-
mich relations. He talked, not, indeed,
with that almost bourgeois frankness
that he used toward Bismarck, but in a
particularly charming manner. He
went on for nearly an hour and a half,
and listening to him with ears wide
open saw already in imagination the
interesting political articles which
might be written for the Cologne Ga
zette on the career Of the Bulgarian
ruler.
But as rose to go, my hopes were all
dashed to the ground by the words, II
need hardly tell you that you must not
impart to others or publish any Of my
views" If I could say nothing Of our
interview then all my time was utterly
wasted and Lenbach and had run our
heads against stone wall.

W. pERMENTER KILLED
SHOT FROM AMBUSH AT HOME OF
HIS BRoTHER.IN-LAw.
SSot to Death While Visiting His Brother,
Swinton Pernsenter, Who Is Ae-
cused of Numbering Miss Sharpe
at Louisville.

Eupora.-Another chapter to the feud
arising out of the killing of Miss jamie
Sharpe at louisville, July %, 1910, for
which crime Swinton Permenter was con.
victed and is awaiting a second trial, was
added when Walter Permenter, brother
of Swinton, was shot and killed while on
the back porch OF the home of his brother
in-law, j.. Shewmate, in this town.
The only clew as to the identity of the
assassin was furnished by Noel Myers,
a neighbor, who saw a man running
across lots following the report of a shot
gun.
Permenter went out on the back gal
lery to get a drink Of water, when, with
outw raining, a shot rang out and he fell,
the charge of both barrels of q shotgun
embedded in his body. Death was almost
instantaneous.
Walter Permenter is the second victim
to be murdered since the killing of Miss
jamie Sharpe near Louisville, for which
crime his brother is accused. Detective
Walker, who claimed to have proof
against a man named McElroy, who lived
near the Permenters, was murdered while
seated in his home early in the present
year. He had tracked McElroy to Texas
and caused his return to Winston county.
No evidence has ever been adduced sub
stantiating Walkers claims that McEl-
roy had anything to do with jamie
Sharpe's murder.

KICK AGAINST DIPPING.
Rankin County Farmers Have No Faith
in the Method.

Jackson.-Governor Brewer has re-
ceived a protest signed by about thirty
citizens of the Pearson neighborhood, in
Rankin county, against the regulations
of the Live Stock Sanitary Board requir.
ing the dipping of live stock at regular
intervals.
The protest declares that the public
dipping vat is a nuisance, and a cruelty
to animals; that the farmers of that
neighborhood know of a number Of sick
and crippled cattle caused by dipping,
and that a number have died from the
same cause; that live stock in that neigh
borhood is poorer and in worse shape
generally than ever before, and they do
not believe in dipping cattle as a means
of preventing tick fever, anyhow.
Closely following the petition, DR. W.
A. Clemens, veterinarian in charge of
the cattle tick eradication work in Ran
kin county, issues a friendly warning to
farmers that persons who fail to dip
their cattle once. every fourteen days will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law.

RAPE FOR SOUTHERN STATES
Professor Mumford Of the Missouri
Experiment Station Gives Expert
ence With Crop.

For several years the Missouri sta
ton attempted to grow rape success
fully by following the instructions
given by the experiment stations In
Canada and the northern states.
These instructions In most cases In
sisted that to succeed In growing rape
1t was necessary to plant 1t late--from
June l to Is.
Professor Mumford y
I'VE have never succeeded In grow
Ing rape when planted at this time.
For the past three or four years We
have sown III rape for pasture at the
earliest possible date In the spring.
One year the rape was sown In Febru.
airy, but 1t Is generally sown In March.
BY this method we have been able to
secure good pastures as early as the
middle OF May and this pasture prop
erly handled will furnish good grazing
the entire season.
One can grow rape successfully OF
land now planted to rye. either by
sowing four pounds OF rape seed per
acre in the rye, by means of a disk
drill. or 1t will pay to pillow the rye
ground and SOW the rape separately.
I should be inclined to follow the for
mel method. BY this means the rye
will furnish good pasture In May and
the rape will come In for later graz
ing.
In some cases we have been able
to pasture as many as ten pigs per
acre for the season The rape, IL
sown early, will be ready to pasture
before the rye is In the milk"
