THE LIBRARY TABLE
BY the Booklover

The foibles and pettinesses Of the
great interest Emil Ludwig, German
biographer, fully as much as their pub
lie achievements. His portrait Of Ma
p leon Is that Of strong man, domi-
mating his age but subject to violent
fits Of jealousy vain to excess, intol-
Grant of all disagreement even in minor
affairs. Ludwigs Wilhelm HohenZol-
lern is a weak neurotic, not redoubt-
able war lord His Bismarck Is an in
consistent but perhaps very human
mixture of greatness with weakness and
meannesS. That he was something OF
a glutton his own letters and those
of his friends show. "At time when
he is complaining much of dis
ordered digestion. loss OF appetite and
neuralgia, Hohenlohe, who is a guest
in the house tells US that Bismarck
partakes freely of the following dishes
one after the other: Soup. cells. cold
meat, prawns, lobster, smoked meat,
raw ham, roast meat, pudding" And
then he complains that he has sense
OF pressure In the forhead as If
there can be nothing but jelly inside
my skull" He was always irritated at
the slightest appearance OF superiority
TO himself on the part OF his asso-
ciates. Having loaned fur coat to
tall guest, and noticing that it was
too short, he said sharply, II really
don't like 1t when my guests are taller
than l." He found dogs more salts
factory companions than human be-
ings, and many Of them in succession
were buried in the park of his Varzin
estate. He once said Il love dogs;
they never want to pay one out Tor
having harmed them" Sometimes faS-
tidious guests at his table were dis
gusted at his habit of throwing large
chunks OF meat to the several dogs
present In the dining room. Rough
comfort was 4 great Importance 10
him. but he cared nothing for the
esthetic side of life. 1T Is matter
Of utter indifference to him how the
rooms in which he lives are furnished.
provided there are some comfortable
chairs. 4" People who think fine fur
niture very important are apt to have
very poor dinners he said.
~ ~
Bismarck was unable to tolerate op-
position and rarely forgave an injury.
He pursued his enemies with persecu-
ticn. Bunsen remarked of him that he
to hatred and vengefulness. and in small
matters Is petty" He had specially
printed formularies for use in slander
charges. Mommsen was accused OF
siander because of a hostile electoral
speech. The editor of "Kladderdatsch'
found himself in jail because of mild
joke directed against the chancellor.
Count Won Arnim, companion OF his
youth. died in exile because, when envoy
In Paris, he had intrigued against Bis
marck OF all his associates. only
Room dared TO resist his bullying, and
wrote. II cannot permit you any more.
In complete misunderstanding OF my
nature. to treat me In so inconsiderate
and hostile a way, and actually as II l
were a refractory or negligent subordi-
nate" Bismarck once said Of himself.
1T Is quite true that anger gets the
better of me sometimes. and. which Is
worse, it often oyerpowers my better
judgment" Emil Ludwig says of him.
He can recognize only two reasons why
any one should differ from him IN
opinion-malice or place-hunting.
