BISMARCK A. FINE LlNGUIS1
However, Prolonged Discussions In
French At Congress Of Berlin

OF Berlin were strain on his facul.

Bismarck's English was noted by
Lord Randolph Churchill, who met the
great Prussian at Kissingen in 1899
Lord Randolph describes him as
speaking English very carefully and
slowly, frequently pausing to get the
right word, but always producing it or
something like it in the end One
word that puzzled him was supplied
by Lord Randolph. The talk had
turned on Gladstone who, Bismarck
said, had always been like an ungov.

The Seven Seas.

"The seven seas is phrase which
greets the eye on many page. Sail
ing the seven seas, mistress of the
seven SEAS" etc, are phrases so often
encountered that several scholarly
men have sought to trace the origin of
the reference. The quest seems not
to have resulted satisfactorily, and the
matter remains in dispute. One Of
the interesting features brought out by
the controversy is that, as employed
many centuries ago, "the seven seas"
did not include either the Atlantic or
Pacific ocean, but referred to the Ara
bian sea, the Persian sea, the Red sea,
the Caspian sea, the Black sea, the
Mediterranean sea and the Adriatic
sea.

Milton's "Paradise Lost"

Milton was blind when he COM
posed that immortal work, 'Para-
disc Lost" His daughters were his
amanuenses. Nor did they merely
write what he dictated, but they
read to him from day to day what
ever classical or other authors he
might wish to consult in the way
of reference, or to relax or inyigo-
rate his mind. But reading to their
father the Greek and Latin authors
must have been very tedious to
them, as it is said they were quite
ignorant of both those ancient lam
guages.

Dies Suddenly

Fred Thorban, we'll known te
many in this valley, died very
suddenly at Bynum, Montana,
on December 80. John P. Swee,
a close friend Of Mr.. Thorban,
received telegram on the 31st
announcing his death and it is
thought he died Of pneumonia.
Only a few days before he
passed through Roman enroute to
Bynum and at that time was
suffering with a severe cold.
Lloyd Wallace left Immediately
upon receipt of the news to as
sist Mrs. Thorban IN any way
possible.
Fred Thorban was character
in his life time, having followed
detective work since a very
young man. This line Of work
made OF hlm a canal driver on
the Erie canal when very
young man, took him to the lum-
Der and logging camps of Mich
lgan, Minnesota and Wisconsin,
to the cattle ranges of Montana,
to the mines, railroads and other
industries where large numbers
OF men were employed. He is
credited with the capture of John
Dietz in Wisconsin, after Dietz
had successfully resisted arrest
for years and stood off at one
time a company of militia. He
was of a daring disposition and
knew no fear, and his life work
as detective can be said to have
been successful. He leaves a
wife and two children living on
a homestead near Bynum.
