Bientarck's doctor, the famous little Swen- Inger, is a temarluthle and a delightful man. He is a creation of Bisms.rek's, more or lees. He looka like a Russian prince, has the most piercing black eyes I have ever seen, a close - clipped blaok beard and mustache massive, wavy coal -like hair, and a quick', incisive and nervous manner. He became disgraced at the very outset of a promising medical •career by an affair with the wife of one of the.professors in the college where he oce eumed a small position. he wife was a beautiful Viennese woman and she had been lauded to a large and heety Professor of Chemistry when very young. When she met the handsome and fiery Sweninger she fell violently in love with hien. There was the deuce to pay, a terrific exposure and some Isere of an affair between the doctor and the Profeseor which resulted in Sweninger's imprisonment. 33ismarek had baleen an in- terese in the ease from the fact that Swen- Inger's actions towards the woman had been exzeedingly manly and generous through- out. The young doctor came one a ruined than and tried to practise in Berlin, but there was no hope for him until one day he wens tent for by the Chancellor 0 the Em- pire. In an hour Bismarck had made his tortnne simply by the mighty influence of .his patronage. Now the two men are elm and fond cempanions. Mat He Would Do.

Then the young man quietly, but earnestly, placed himself upon Ma bare feet in the plate.

There was a curious olond phantom no- ticed in the heavens at Pittsburg the other night, About 7o'olock, while the full moon flooded city and field with its wondrous light, there slowly rose in the southwestern sky some long filmy fingers of white cloud. Venus snone brightly in this quarter ot the Eky, though a halo hung about her. The long fingers of white cloud, through which the pale wintry bine of the firmament beyond could plainly be nen rose steadily till near the zenith. At this point they seemed to converge toward the horizon until they form- ed a gigantic hand, spread open, with thumb and fingers in proper proportion. This strange semblance stayed intact for ten minutes or more. A few hundred yeare ago such a thing would have brought to the beholder prophetic warning of some stirring delft of fortune. Even at this late day the heart of man cennot but feel a touch of the omi eons when the clouds above him take such shapes. All that is necessary in the Samoan affair is for Uncle Sam to give his order, "Bands off 1 and -Hans will come off. WRY HE WASN'T RANGED. mow a lean Escaped the Gellows—a. Fisher. Plan's Adventure.
