Bismarck Once Gave Striking Defini-
tion Of the Term.
In the newspapers OF today we very
often find the words entente cordiale.t
Most readers understand the meaning
of the expression. but 1t Is rather diff
cult to make a translation that ex-
presses the exact meaning of the orig
inal French. Prince Bismarck gave a
good explanation when his daughter
asked him what the entente cordiale
really was
"Well,9 he said, lit is not SO easy to
define literally. 1t means cordial un'
derstanding. but it also has little
different significance For example,:
You were in the courtyard this morn
ing when came frcm the garden with
Nero. Diana was In the yard. gnaw-
ing large bone My Nero saw her
and ran to seize the bone. Then there
was little Fight, until struck them
few sharp blows with my cane.
after that the bone lay In the mid
die of the court, while both dogs stood
off at some distance and looked eagerly
at it. Each dog, In fact, was as anx-
ious to keep the other away as he was
afraid Of my cane. and therefore mel
ther ventured to seize It. You see. that
is what they call in diplomatic circles
an entente cordiale." Youths Com

In His Ambition.
The Boston Transcript tells an anus
ing story of one Of the subjects OF
Lord Kitchener, consul general in
Egypt, who turned the power and in
Huence of the famous English soldier
to his personal profit
While driving one day Lord kitch-
ener noticed an old man in the street
whom he recognized as an acquaintance
from the Sudan. The consul general
ordered the driver to stop and invited
the old man to take seat In the cal
riage. So the two drove together
through the town to the place to which
the Sudanese wanted to go.
A few days later the dark friend OF
lord Kitchener was seen lowering
about the British agency. At last an
officer asked him what he wanted.
II should so much like to drive out
with Lord Kitchener once more" the
old man replied.
"Why?" the officer asked.
"You see," the Sudanese answered
naively, "after my friends and ac-
quaintances saw me sitting at the side
Of Lord Kitchener they came to me,

those who are unused to 1t, but you

mode of travel is possible. There Is
something internal in the Irresistible
power Of steam, carrying such heavy
masses along with the swiftness OF

"The habits growing out OF contin'
