Mr.. Gladstone. Formerly" SAYS
Herr Won A., "Mr. Gladstone was very
70 d of climbing mountains, and l re-.
member very we'll an csnt OF the
WRhlberg, on which occasion he was
not behind The most nimble of US. He
YVES dressed in the customary Alpine
costume, ard his 1--we lintss and agility
became proverbial ia the little COLONY
OF strangers. On another occasion Mr..
Gladstone and his family accompanied
by party of friends, made tour by
omuibus to Fiscbbschau, Bukenstein
and BayIischzei. The tour being
rather lorg one for one day, we
q ted very early from Tergensee.
Everything went on beauti ully till
we resched TIE well known idvlic
postofiice near Mietbach. The
high road winds at this place

bach down seep incline, to
rise again, equally sudden, at ths other
side of the narrow valley OF Mangfall.
Among the steep mountain DIES and

sometimes so narrow that it is i'm os.

venience, inches have been hewn into

c0lumns, characteristic ally named
martyr slabs in the j,rgon Of the sis
trict tell of the dangers OF the road.
Mr. Gl4dston1's party WIS at one part
OF his road in the greatest danger.
After passing a sudden turn in the
road q herd Of ca tie, headed by an
enormous bull, met the csrrisgs.
The bull, instead OF going aside, obsti-
nately waited just in mont OF the ca
riage, ard tue youthful he dEmen
were unable to move him from where
he had iskyn up .hil position. Nor
was the drivers whip, which was Wig
orously applied to the bulls back, OF
any use, fJr, in tead of fr ghteniDg the
bull, the lsshiIg exited the horses,
which began IT, rear and shy ill the
situation became highly critical. This
ladies shrisked, and were about to
jump out OF the carr age, when st the
last moment MIR. Glad tone Jumped
down, took one of the wraps, np-
preached the bull sideways and tire W
the blanket over the animals head.
The surprised bull Stood mo ioness

followed his leader, who led him back
to less narrow part OF the road, the
whole herd following close behind.
The road was free, and without fur
tber disaster the tour was concluded.
Mr., Gladstone was, OF cour e, greatly
complimenled and congratulated for
his presence Of mind and his energetic
action, Of which, however, he wOnld
not hear, and dismiss ID the subject
smilipgly, with few words to an in
timste German friend, with whom he
walked the rest of he mountain.
Never mind; II was the ZANE with
this fellow as it is with John Ball.
