BISMaRCk'S WASTE BASKET.

Every year, as his birthday 'ap-
proaches, Prince Bismarck receives
scores of kilograms from persons who
request immediate replies. Some OF
these dispatches come from men eager
to be received personally at the Fried
richsruhe castle during the celebration.
Others are from newspaper editors who
hope to get reply signed by the old
chancellor, for publication on the
birthday morning. The dispatches end
invariab bly, with the statement that the
answer has been prepaid. Neverthe-
less. they all go into Bismarck's waste
basket, which. like everything else
about the old chancellor, is of heroic
size.
Bismarck's secretary, in speaking Of
the waste basket, recently gave a
Vienna journalist some information
which is of special interest to Amer
leans, as from the United States come
most of the kilograms intended for
self advertising purposes. Here is a
dispatch received recently by the
prince from New York newspaper,
whose name was withheld:
''Your Excellency: Ten million Ger.
mans listen for your voice, and wish
to know whether you will again I'M
dcrtake the leadership of the empire
founded under your auspices. Ten
million Germans in America wish to
hear from your mouth words of COM
fort as to their native land. Cable an
swer prepaid"
This dispatch was no sooner read
than it went into the waste basket.
The idea of answering it never entered
the head of anybody at the castle. An
Englishman sent this cablegram short
~ afterward:
81, the richest citizen of this town.
have but one unfulfilled wish-to stand
before the most famous man of the
century and receive the honor of his
acquaintance. If the fulfillment of my
wish should depend upon my giving
any sum of money TO any cause or So
ciety, beg your excellency to name
the amount and will at once deposit
the same, no matter how large it may
be. Cable answer prepaid"
The offer OF money was as futile as
the appeal of ''ten million Germans in
America" and it followed the latter
into the waste basket.
After giving several other illustra-
tons of the voracity of the Friedrichs-
ruhe waste basket, the Vienna journal
list thus warns sclf-advertisers through
out the world against wasting their
money on Bismarck kilograms:
Bismarck has no time nowadays
for prepaid messages of this sort.
Friedrichsruhe is a practical place. His.
tory ia still making there, and in the
pauses Head Forester LANCE has his
claims upon the princes time. His
communications do not go into the
waste basket"

hungry and starving millions OF two
continents would be solved for genera
ions to come. This great monopolist
of water could write his check for the
government debt, put up the annual in
terest on the vast amount of farm mort
cages in the older states till the princi-
pal could be discharged from sinking
fund, and from his loose pocket change
could defray the expense of a perpetual
session of the Fifty-third congress.
In addition to this his simple
l. o. Z. would be taken in exchange
for the combined fortunes of the Astors,
Vanderbilts, Goulds, Rockafellers and
Huntingtons. As to personal expenses,
the Injuries of travel, of art, of con-
densed and readymade store of the
knowledge and literature of ali nations
would be his without asking. Neither
his appetites, his desires or his magma
ton would know the limitations of cost
or supply. but every faculty or want of
body, mind and soul would revel in the
wealth of a perfect safety. Yea, and
all this would count as nothing COM
pared with the unmeasured gratitude
of an admiring public. To be loved Is
the richest boon that falls to the
lot of any man. To be regarded
as the benefactor of the century, and
to receive the adulations of a grateful
people would come in as mere inciden-
tails to swell his honors. Even more
than all these, it would silence the critic
and turn every skeptical Saul of Tarsus
into veritable Paul the apostle of the
great cause of rain made easy through
the splendid genius of one man. Tho
unaccountabIe wonder is that this great
secret has been so long withheld. We
have the unqualified assurance that it
has long been known to few, yet the
sun dried plains remain intact, and the
prayers Of the faithful still go up in
humble petition for the showers which
stubbornly refuse to come.
No charge for these facts and figures.

Blind TENS Concert.

Blind Tom was greeted by quite a
good house last night, and the audience
went home fully satisfied that they had
received the worth of their money. Tom
is really a wonder, excelling in innita-
ton, which is indeed his only guide and
reliance. His rendition of classical
music is good in execution, but he lacks
expression. His imitation of a music
box was perfect, and that of guitar
almost as good. The imitation of bag
pipe brought hearty encore, and in
playing one of his own pieces he fooled
everybody by his vocal imitation of a
locomotive whistle. He went on to
Portland this morning, but he told us
privately he would give anything he
owned if he could stop off at Hood River
and see Mt. Hood.
