When Otto Edward Leopold voD BismarcH sch.enhausen was born the embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense with con gratulations." Why? Tbe event hap pened in Germany, where All Fools day was still significant. But Bis marck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing, however, he remained fool nearly his whole life long-nis idolatry of beer. His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro duce huge silver jug and fill 1t with Bavarjan beer. "That is the head" he ,~ould say, "of Field Marshal Derf. finger. conqueror of the Swedea, and one of my ancestors" This Derftfinger. when a boy, was apprenticed to . tailor. His master sent him for 8 tug of beer. On his way back he drank up the beer. and in terror en- listed-"with muck advantage to the Fatherland," as Bismarck pointed out But beer proved Bismarck's un' doing, and he had to abandon the hab 1t by medical advice.
