BISMARCK IN A TENDER MOOD.
A Pathetic Incident of the Franco
Prussian War.

A Pathetic Incident Of the France
Prussian War.
Bismarck is always thought Of as
the Iron Chancellor, who cemented
the German states into one empire
with the blood of German soldiers
shed in three great wars. But a
French army surgeon, DR.. Ger
nicke, in volume of "reminiscences
from which Forest and Stream
quotes, most unexpectedly presents
him as man who felt and deplored
all the horrors of war. The sur
geon met the statesman at Recon-
vile during the Franco-P russian
war of 1870.
"You are taking part, sir, in q
terrible war;" began Bismarck to
the young man. "What beginning
for your career! What awful
sights! What suffering!
ct is not you or these poor mutt
lated fellows that | should like to
see here" Bismarck continued, ear
nestly, 1'but your senators and dep
uties! They would then see what
war is"
This idea that the war had been
forced upon the two nations by pol
iticians was ever with Bismarck, ac-
cording to DR.. Czernicke. He re-
ferred to it again on going over the
battlefield where, seated on some
straw and propped up against pill
lar of the church, was one of the
French soldiers, a very young man.
He was terribly wounded. A
shell, striking him like the lash of
a whip, had carried away both his
eyes and the bridge of his nose,
leaving the skull bare. The wound
was covered with a dressing. He lay
there, calm, silent, motionless, in
dumb resignation.
Bismarck stopped in front of him
and asked the surgeon about the
case.
'There is war for you, Messieurs
the Senators and Deputiesp he said
bitterly. Then, turning to one of
his suit, sPlease bring me some
wine and glass"
He filled the glass to the brim
and took sip. Then, gently tap
ping the poor fellow, "My friend,
will you not drink something's"
The wounded soldier reused him.
self. Bending, Bismarck very ten
derby and slowly gave him the wine
and, rising again, almost solemnly
drank what was left in the glass.
sWhat is your name, my boy, and
where do you come from?''
'Rossignol, from Brittany"
81 am Bismarck, my comrade,
and am very proud to have drunk
out of the same glass with brave
man like YOU"
Stretching his hand over the hor-
ribly mutilated head, Bismarck gave
mute benediction and passed on.

There We're No More

When noted Irish orator was in
America few years ago he appear
ed at a meeting at St. Louis and de-
livered an address on the subject of
"Home Rule for Ireland" There
were 5000 of his countrymen in the
audience. At the close of his re-
marks the chairman asked:
would anyone like to ask the
speaker questsion
A man in the rear of the hall, ev-
identity under the influence Of Ii
quor arose and said:
"Will the gentleman tell me if
there is any reason why the Irish
should not be wiped off the face of
the earth?''
Immediately pandemonium reign
ed. The disturber was attacked
from every quarter. Calls Of
Down with him!" came from ali
directions. Finally he was rescued
by the police and. torn and bleed
ing, and in an unconscious. condition
was placed in an ambulance which
had been called. Order was in a
measure restored. While the audi
ence could still hear the clatter of
the ambulance and the sound of its
gong as it conveyed its burden to
the hospital. the chairman stepped
forward and asked:
"Would anybody like to ask an
other question:"

HEREAF TER WILL
FAVOR HOME STATE
Taft Will Throw AS Much PATRONAGE
That Way As He can--Four Bio
Plums Are Awarded

Washington, July 17--With the sem
i-ofiicial announcement yesterday that
President Taft viii appoint four Ohio
Republicans to important Government
posts in Washington, it became appar.
ent that one OF the first moves in the
fight the Taft leaders are making for
the Presidents reelection will be an
attempt to strengthen their relations
with the Republican State organiza-.
tons throughout the country.
Taft leaders state last night that the
third party would be fought throught
the Republican State organizations.
Assurances have been received at the
White House from Republicans in
many states that they viii not join in
third party, and the recognition of
State organizations, the Taft leaders
here believe will influence still 9th
ers to remain with the old party and
thus aid the campaign Although il
ready yet to fill esveral important va
cancies, il was the general belief that
the appointments would be sent to the
Senate before Congress adiourns and
that they will fit in with the plan TO
remember Republican workers through
out the country.
The contemplated Ohio appoint
ments would recognize l. c. Laylin
who conducted the primary campaign
in Ohio for Mr.. Taft; Granville w.
Mooney, for Speaker Of the Assemb-
ly, and former Congressman Ralph
Cole Carmi Thompson. Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, is slated to
become secretary to the President,
succeeding Charles d. Hiiles, who to-
day assumed his new duties as chair
man OF the Republican National Com
mittee.
Mr. Money is scheduled to enter
the White House offices as assistant
secretary, and with MIR. Thompson as
secretary the Presidents principal
assistants, with one exception, will be-
Ohio men.
In appointing so many Ohieans to
Office the President expects TO lay at
rest grievances voiced by Ohio Repub-
licans that his own State had not been
sufficiently recognized
The President sent to the Senate
the nomination of Secundino Romero
to be United States Marshal of New
Mexico to succeed Creighton Foraker,
brother of former United States Sena-
tor Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio.
Mr. Foraker signed several days ago,
and for personal reasons, according to
published reports
