was at once thoroughly "nilitar1zed.
The Polish insurrection in 1858 gave
Bismarck a chance to make friends
with Russia, and he declared that II
Russia were driven out Of Poland
Prussia would march In. The affairs
Of the "duchies" gave Bismarck an
other opportunity. The Danish gov
eminent had prepared a constitution
for Schleswig which made that duchy
an integral part Of the Danish king
dom, which was contrary to the last
Of the many settlements OF the
''Schleswig- Holstein question" The
Germ9nic confederation refused to
take any steps and Bismarck made
advances to Australia would en-
veigle her and then destroy her.
The Danes counted upon aid from
France and England, In both Of which
countries there had been an outbreak
OF sympathy for q small nation men,
aced by two powerful ones, and In
March Of 1868 royal proclamation
issued at Copenhagen repudiated the
settlement Of 1852 and offered the
gage Of battle.
Beginning Of War.
On January 16, 1864, Prussia and
Austria sent an ultimatum to Den
mark demanding that the constitution
OF Schleswig be withdrawn within two
days. The Danish foreign minister
pointed out that as the Danish parlia-
ment was not In session this was i'm
possible.
The Prussian troops massed on the
Elder at once crossed the frontier and
war began. Austrian troops joined
the Prussians and the Danes fought
valiantly but unavailingly against the
invaders. The fortress of Dupple fell
on April IS and the Danes, driven
from the mainland, took refuge on the
island OF Alsen. There came q pause
in the war and a conference of the
powers was hastily assembled in Lon
don. But Bismarck would listen to no
compromise and the war was renewed.
1t was now clear that Prussia de-
signed both the duchies for herself:
but while Austria saw this she was
scared by fire in the rear" For,
taking advantage OF .Austria's engage
ments elsewhere, Italy was threaten
ing Venetia. Prussian troops had al
ready crossed the borders Of Jutland
and were prepared for advance.
Denmark surrendered and the peace
treaty was signed at Vienna on Octo-
Der 30. BY it Denmark relinquished
both duchies to be administered Joint
ly by Austria and Prussia.

A Word for the Wild Bird.

The treaty Of Frankfort which OIL
eially put an end to the Franco-Prus-
nan war. was but ratification Of the
1preliminaries Of peace" which had
been signed at Versailles on February
28, 1871. Some matters Of minor i'm
portance had not been settled at Yer
Bailles, which were reserved for the
sdefinitive treaty"
The sstensibe cause Of the Franco
Prussian war was the refusal OF Prus-
STA to guarantee that prince Of the
house Of Hohenzollern should not be q
candidate for the Spanish throne. In
reality both Paris and Berlin were
only waiting for an excuse and Bis
marck was making every effort to
bring about rupture. Official rela-
tons becoming strained and the Prus-
aan army having modified and ap-
preached the French frontier, the EN-
peror Napoleon III declared war on
July 10, 1870, the chamber Of deputies
having before that voted war sup
ply and the reserves having been
called out. Prussia was Joined in the
war by the other German states and
the Teutonic armies had an unbroken
series of victories that brought them
to Paris, which city surrendered on
January %, 1871.
Gravelotte was fought on August 1S
Of 1870 and the French emperor with
his army surrendered at Sedan on
September 2, 1870.
Bismarck Dictated Peace Terms.
A republic had been proclaimed in
France upon the surrender of the en-
peror and Theirs was at the head OF
It. Upon being elected as chief ex-
ecutive by the assembly sitting at Bor-
deaux, the provisional French govern
ment had already effected an armistice
with the Germans. Already the king
Of Prussia had been proclaimed Ger
man emperor In the halls Of Versailles.
Theirs met Bismarck at that splendid
palace of the great Louis and the pre-
liminaries Of peace were signed on Feb
ruary 26. The terms were dictated
BY Bismarck. Only on one point did
Timers rebel. He refused to sign a
peace ceding to Prussia the fortified
city of Belfort, which commands the
passage between the Vosges and the
Jura. This was the Only strong fort
ress in France which had not been re-
duced by the Germans. II now hanG-
ed over to Germany 1t would open

CONSTRUCT POOL IN GARDEN
In Added Attractiveness 1t Is Worth
All the Time and Trouble
That 1t Entails.

A very interesting and attractive
garden pool can be made with little
hard work and at a small expense,
and where the garden is sufficiently
large the pool adds wonderfully to the
artistic make up.
In an amateurs garden recently the
owner was caught in the act Of put.
ting on the finishing touches of the
pool and it's decorations.
The garden was in the rear Of the
house and the pool was in the left
hand corner at the rear. Not In the
extreme rear corner, as back of 1t
was bed of iris arranged in semi
circular form in front, bordering q
Of peonies and the corner was to be
filed later with saliva, backed with
cannas.
The gardener had dug the pool him
self. 1t was about ten feet in diam
eter and two feet six inches deep. In
the bottom stones had been laid and
the bottom and side covered with &C.
ment.
A rockery was made Of a lot Of
large stones encountered in digging,
with a few brought in from a neigh.
boring field to complete the work.
The rockery was not in the center, but
to one side at the rear Of the pool.
An iron pipe led off to the gutter in
the rear for an overflow.
The bottom was covered with odd
stones that had been selected for the
purpose on various motor trips In the
country and gave a natural appear
ance to the pool.
A few handfuls Of frogs spawn had
been gathered and placed in the pool.
ferns and rushes had been planted
and water lilies were to be set out
later, after which few gold fish will
be added.
There is no fountain or inlet to the
pool; the water is supplied by the
lawn hose.
This idea can be followed by gar
deners, who find that the pool and
bog garden not only adds to the beau
" and interest of the garden, but it Is
a source of considerable pleasure as
well.

YOUR TOWN..

Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest some one else gets ahead;
When everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead.
And II while you make your personal
ctake
Your neighbor makes one, too,
Your town will be what you want 1t to be,
1t isn't your town-it's you!
II you want to live in the kind Of a town
Like the kind Of a town you like !,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You will only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's a knock at yourself when you knock

+. A. Stevens. a comrade in the
Spanish-American war. who is facing
difficulty in the police court and in
the court of Topeka. Stevens claims
he was robbed at 401 Lime street by
o. M. Elliott and a negro who came
into room where he was asleep and
took three $50 bills from him. The
police were called and arrested Stew
ems, charging him with having liquor
in his possession.
Stevens was released on bond and
went to Hugh Fisher. county attorney,
where he asked to have a warrant is
sued against Elliott and the negro.
During his conversation with the
county attorney Stevens stated he was
drunk at the time he was robbed and
Fisher declared he smelled liquor on
Stevens breath. He issued a warrant
charging Stevens with having liquor
in his possession and later issued
warrant for Elliott and the negro.

isn't pleased with the reception given
him at the county attorneys office

and former comrade to aid him in
prosecution of Elliott and the negro.
The warrant was issued Wednesday
At noon today no arrest of Elliott or
the negro had been reported.
