FOREST HONARCH FINALLY FELLED Giant Tree Is Bought for $625 by Lamberman Madison, Tnd., May 26 (UP—The largest walnut tree in Kentucky has fallen befora the renewed demand for American walnut. The owner sold the trunk of the tree, six feet in dismeter at the butt and 17 feet 0 the branches, tor $625 to Clyde Wallace, Madison timber buyer, after four years of negotiation. The branches, as large as ordi- nary walnut logs, and the roots were kept by the owner, who ex- pects to realize more than $1,000 irom the tree when the branches hive been marketed and the roots nade into veneer. For 200 years, timbermen esti- mate, the tree grew on the bank of the Kentucky river near Lockport, attaining a size unequaled in lum- bering annals along the Ohio rover Generally walnut trees do not grow 10 a diameter of more than 16 inches, and they sell for $80 to $100. The log was felled carefully to prevent waste of its lumber and was brought by barge to Madison, then shipped by rail to Louisville for manutacture. It was found to be solid timber clear through. After it s milled the remaining wood will be used, like the roots, for veneer. SON OF BISHARCH PROVED DPLOWAT Tncident of World War Shows Him Qualitied Berlin, May 20. (#—The recent announcement that Prince Otto von Bismarck, grandson of the “Iron Chancellor,” would resign his seat in the Reichstag on May 1 to enter the diplomatic service, has caused much speculation as to whether or not the 29-year-old prince has the necessary qualifications. An Incident of World War days is recalled by friends to prove that even then he showed diplomatic finesse, In 1916 Professor Ludwig Stein ot Berlin, known under “the pseudonym “Diplomaticus,” called on American Ambassador and Mrs. James W. Gerard before his de- parture for Budapest, Hungary. Mrs. Gerard requested him to | take a book in English to her sis- ter, the Hungarian Countess Sig- | ray. When Stein reached the sleep- ing car he found young Bismarck in the next compartment. “See here,” he said to Bismarck, “you are a prince and a Bismarck —nobody will examine your bag- gage. Would you mind taking this book through for me?"” “I'll not eonly take the book.” young Bismarck replied, “but give me your pass, and I'll guarantee you that you won't be awakened at any of the three frontier sta- tions.” The professor reached Hungary without being disturbed once. In Budapest he asked young Bismarck for an explanation. “Nothing was easfer” Bismarck repifed. “I merely gave my valet the passports and told him to say to the frontier officials that Prince Bismarck is accompanied by his physician and his valet. That did the trick.” Lady Lavery Help; Her Husband With Exhibits London, May 20—Being the wife of an artist means more than pos- ing without pay as his favorite model and acting as hostess at m- portant functions.
