One Railway Line is Straight.-Au-
tocratic power is we'll illustrated by
the story Of the building Of the rail-
road connecting st. Petersburg and
Moscow. Two Americans were en-
ployed to lay out and build the line,
When the plans were all ready they
were laid before Emperor Nicholas.
Noticing at once that the line deviated
in some places to avoid difficulties and
in others to tap certain important
cities and towns, he shook his head and
said it wouldn't do; that he wanted no
such twisting railway lines in his do
minions. Taking a ruler and pen, he
drew a straight line between the two
cities.
There" he said. "A straight line is
the shortest distance between two
points. Make your road follow this
line"
Thus it comes that there is one rail-
road almost or quite as direct in reali-
ty as it appears on the map.-Curious

Bismarck's Bite.-Bismarck had lit
tie regard for women who attempted to
think for themselves in matters Of state
and politics. Moreover, he never took
any pains to conceal his dislike for
them. Occasionally. however, when his
adversary was a clever woman, he
found the snub returned as effectively
as he gave it. Tit-Bits describes one
such incident:
One day he paid visit to the Rus
sian embassy at Berlin. Several wo-
men who were present Joined in the
conversation, which turned on some OF
the political questions Of the day. Bis
marck was as gruff and surly to the
woman as usual; he f1outed even the
mistress Of the house, the Countess
Schouvaloff.
At last, to the relief Of everybody,
Bismarck took his leave. A few mo-
ments later the family mastiff was
heard barking at the great man, in the
courtyard.
Immediately the countess ran to the
open window and called, in tones Of
gentle entreaty:
"Oh please, Monsieur lie Chancellor,
please don't bite my dog!"

'tS Hubby was in bad temper. He
was late in getting up, and then he cut

Eventually, Why Not Now?

There are scores Of men in York
county who are convinced by reason
of the overwhelming testimony that
has been placed before them during
the past fifteen years that the MU-
TUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE
CO., offers the BEST there Is in life
insurance and who expect eventually
to apply for a policy. Many of them
have voluntarily told me of their con-
victions and intentions. To each and
every one 1 beg to reiterate the fact
that Life Insurance is pre-eminently
a NOW proposition" for the reason
that no man has a guarantee that he
will be living tomorrow or If he Is that
he can successfully pass the rigid
medical examination required, and be-
sides, it will never cost any individual
less 10 start with than NOW, but will
COST MORE as the days go by. At
