Count Andrassy's story of an inter view be hatlwith Bismarck is as fol lows : "Bismarck had two immense mugs of beer brought to ns. He took one of them and shoved the other over to me. I remarked that I drank only water. He looked at me iu silence , curiously and almost suspiciously for a minute and then proceeded with the subject under discussion. The more interested he became in our conversation the more frequently and copiously he drank. After finishing his own mug ho appro priated mine without a word and put down its contents in three or four tre mendous drafts. Then he had a servant fetch and fill two enormous pipes. When he offered me one of them , I ex plained that I never smoked. " 'What1 ! he cried , 'neither drink nor smoke ? What kind of a supernatural man are you anyway1 "It was a mercy to both of us , how ever , that I did not accept the pipe , for Bismarck smoked so incessantly that within 15 minutes the air in the room was dense. When I rose at the end of the evening from the table at which we were sitting , the smoke was so thick tbat I could baldly see the chancellor's face. " A Convincing : Argument. A correspondent sends us the follow ing story from Mississippi : Counfcel for the defeuso was addressing a country J. P. of the "old school. " Said he : "i realize tbat I fctaud iu the presence of a descendant of the grand old Huguenot family that emigrated from France to escape from religious intolerance. Many able jurists have sprung from that fam ily and embellished the bench and bar of the Union. Their watchwords are honor , truth and justice , and their names are spoken in every homo. The law is so plain in this case that 'he who runs may read. ' Shall I insult the in telligence of this court by iciteratiug a proposition so simple ? Need I say more" "No , " interrupted the judge , " 'taiu't necessary. I'll give you a judgment. " Counsel sat down while the judge , with emphasis , knocked the ashes from his cob pipe , and counsel for plain tiff began : "May it please the court" "Squire , what are you fisin to do ? " asked the judge. "I have the closing argument , " was the reply. "Well , you jes' as well set down. I done got my mind sot on the other side. Judgment for defendant. " Law Notes. Value of Cheese I''ootl. Chpese is a very rich and valuable food , likely to form a very large con stituent in the future and , especially for the workiuguiau , to be very exten sively used. There is a difference in stomachs in their ability to digest thi article. The writer is able to make an entire meal of cheese , with very little bread , and digest it more easily than rice or oatmeal , but in most stomachs it is less digestible , in some extremely so. Each person must learn for hiinsetlf. It is a convenient form of animal food and , when good , particularly agreeable. There is a great difference in the com position of cheese both in its water , tat and nitrogenous matter. In genera ] , however , it may be remarked that every variety contains a large amount of nitrogenous matter , and it is for this that it is especially useful as a food. Skimmilk cheese is especially rich in this constituent , but less rich in fat. Those who abstain from flesh food will find in cheese abundance of nitrogenous matter to take the place of that found in flesh. London Family Doctor. Othello Whitewashed. Othello is the latest historic disrepu table to have a good character establish ed. Italian papers claim certain manu scripts concerning the Moor have been found in the archives of a convent in Venice. They are notes taken in 1542 by a Cretan diplomat sent on a mission to the republic of Venice. The writer knew Othello well and vouches for the fact that the lady was never killed at all. In fact , she survived Othello , died a natural death and gave the coroner no trouble at all. So that there never was a tragedy of the moor of Venice. I'elter's Potatoes. Senator Peffer is fond of telling how he once duped the managers of a Kansas county fair. "On examination of the sweet potatoes exhibited , " he says , "I saw that the size of the specimens was nothing to brag of , and I sent out to a grocery store and purchased a bushel of fine ones ; took the small ones out for home use , carried the rest to the fair grounds , entered them in my own name and drew the premium for the best specimen of sweet potatoes grown in Wilson county. " Declaration of Independence. "My sou , " said the indignant father , "I've stood' your impudence just as long as I'm going to stand it. You haven't had a whipping for a good while , but you're going to get one now. Take off your coat. " "Itwon't bo necessary , dad , " replied the husky boy. "I can do you up with it on. " New York World. Honors Enay. "Who carried off the honors at the walk , Rastus ? " "Mr. Sam .Tohusiug , sab , but de Lawd only knows who carried off de take. " Cincinnati Enquirer. Their Slide Into Oblivion. Men who climb the Alps and lose their lives slipping down into the val ley are brave and daring , but they never get credit for doing a good thing. Now Orleans Picayune. Germans consume as much wine , beer and brandy every year as would equal one-half of the French indemnity after the Franco-German war. Among the natives of Mexico there are , according to Lnmholtz , about 1.10. 000 survivors of the Aztec raro. BARTLEY. Mrs. Wilson is seeing1 the sights at the exposition this week. Mrs. W. E.

SPECIAL TRIBUNE Since the big wheat crop of the St. Francis branch was secure , the business has rapidly increased iu all depart ments. For the first time since 1892 the whole branch is blessed with a general crop. Wheat is so plentiful iu Hawlinsand Cheyenne counties , Kansas , that while sev eral hundred car-loads have been shipped it has hardly beguu to move. Ou the German plains near St. Francis , the wheat belt of Cheyenne county , farmers are dumping their wheat on the ground being unable to get room in their bins. October 10th , 9 cars were shipped out of St. Francis and on the 12th , 9 car loads. Herndou has shipped 100 car-loads of wheat and the Atwood district 125 car loads. The trains are so long and heavy with the wealth of the branch bound east and west that they are late and have more than they can do. Extra after extra is sent to relieve these trains , still they come into Orleans so long as to astonish eastern people with the wealth of the best paying branch of the Burlington. The hundreds of car loads of live stock and the merchandise coming west has steadily increased the receipts of Bach station 50 per cent or more. The branch never was more pros perous. Atwood has come nobly to the front and the company's business fit that point has increased 75 per i sent since Agent Morrissey took the station. The St. Francis branch has sent tour crowded excursion trains to : he exposition at Omaha. Atwood iias sent out six coach loads and is : he banner station on the branch ! or excursionists. This is largely lue to the work of Mr. Morrissey , vho spared no effort to advertise t and induce people to go. At- t vood sold 136 tickets for the fair , iausas day , and 400 tickets for Dm aim were sold on the branch , Monday.
