even sent up to the printers in the faint
hope that. after they have wrestled with
it, the meaning of the scrawl may be
extracted. If it be rejected, it is almost
invariably returned, whether stamps

practice of nearly all reputable publica-

distinct notice that they will not take

Bismarck and Von Moltfro.
The folicwing story is told by a Ger-
man diplomatist: At the close of the
France-Prussian war a hasty conference
was held by the German leaders to de-
cide upon the amount of indemnity
which should be exacted from France.
Bismarck, difi’ering from You Moltke,
telegraphed to Berlin for a financier in
whom he had unbounded confidence.
The man was a Hebrew, and was. for
some reason, dislked by the great Prus-
sian general. When, therefore, he gave
his opinion that the amount demanded
should be so many thousand million
francs, Von Moltke exclaimed impa-
tiently:
“Absurd! It is too much!"
”I know the resources of the French
people," said the financier calmly.
"They can pay it. ”
“It is umonstrous demand!” repeated
Von Moltke angrily. “If a man had be-
gun when the world was created to
count, he would not have reached that
sum 110w. ”
“And that is the reason," interrupted
Bismarck quickly, his eye twinkling,
“that I got a man who counts—from
Moses.”
Von Moltke and the Hebrew tried to
look grave, but both laughed, and the
storm was averted.
The sequel to the anecdote has 11
deeper meaning. The financier, when
he received the summons to the confer-
ence, was undergoing treatment for
some aflection of the eyes which re-
qn'u'ed confinement to a dark chamber.
His oculist warned him that if be obeyed
the summons the exposure and delay in
the treatment would almost inevitably
result in loss of sight.
Hewu silent a moment and then
said: “I think that I am needed. There
no right to consider my sight. I will
go.”
He went, and the results which the
cculist had feared ensued. He became
blind for life.
Von Moltke, when the story was told
him, said briefly: “I wronged the man.
He has served his country as truly as
any soldier on the field. "—-Youth’s
Companion.

The only difference is that buttons are
