GLADSTONE ON THE GOSPEL
There is But One Question. and That Is
The Gospel

he Gospel
"7alk about questions of the dayl"
said Mr.. Gladstone recently to DR.. Tai
mage. There is bat one question, and
that is the Gospel"
The grandest element in the character
of this grand old man," who holds the
unqlestioned title to the honor of being
the greatest statesman of modern times,
is ms simple, child-lke faith and i'm
plici, reliance upon the word Of God.
When called upon not long ago 10 give
an opinion for publication upon the
divorce question, Mr.. Gladstone offered
no mere opinion of his own or of other
men, neither did he present a learned
citation from human codes OF law, but
quoted the prohibition of divorce set
forth in the New Testament with the
simple statement that he did not ven
ture in the least to question either the
authority or wisdom of what WAS
written.
"In the volume of the book it is writ
ten" That is all the man Oi faith cares
TO know; it was enough for Gladstone.
my only hope for the world" said he,
as in bringing the human mind into
contact with Divine revelation. 1t can
and will correct everything needing
correction"

"A Very Little Christmas Tale.

A party of gentlemen were discussing
Kris Kringlc and tho days events at tho
Auditorium disponsary. All or nearly
all were relating the experiences of the
night before or that morning with the
little folks. "Boys," said ono of tho party
Il big furniture man on Wabash avenue,
~ want totell you what my little young
ster said when he saw the Christmas tree
He is tho baby of the house and has taken
a most absorbing fancy to his papa. |
seem to be to his babyish fancy the be-all
and end-all Of humanity. My wife and
fixed up tho tree last night, and this
morning we opened her up just little
after daylight. Three pairs of eyes were
all ablaze, but the fourth little pair
seemed to DO missing something The
little one of course understood that Santa
Claus brought everything, and as Santa
Claus had been very liberal older heads
marveled somewhat at the Indifference
of tho baby boy to his gifts. Pretty
soon the little fellow laid his toys away
with kind of bored expression, and
climbing on my knee he lisped, Papa,
did Thanta Claus bring dose singsy
said, YES, dear, repeating tho conven-
tional lie. The little chap put his mouth
to my ear and whispered, Papa, don't
caro- for Thanta Claus-what is 90 doin
to diz me?' Boys, maybe didn't go of
and buy that baby something. and give
it to him out of my own hand. Some.
times l think the Santa Claus fable ought
to bo relegated to the top shelf. That
little boy cared nothing for Santa Claus
or for his gifts. He did love his papa and
wanted him to remember him. Chicago

Buffalo Herd. a Half Century Ar

think l can truly SAY that saw in
that region i'll one day more buffaloes
than have seen of cattle i'll all my life.
l have seen the plain black with them
for several days journey as far as the
eye could reach. They seemed to bo
coming northward continually from tho
distant plains to the Platte to get water,
and would plunge i'll and swim across
by thousands-so numerous We're they
that they changed not only the color of
the water, but its taste, until it was un-
fit to drink; but we had to Use it. One
night when we were cnca1npcd ON the
south fork of the Platte they came in
such droves that we had to sit up and
fire guns and mako what fires we could
to- keep them from running over us and
trampling us into the dust. We could
hear them laundering all night long;
the ground fairly tremblcd with vast ap-
preaching bands, and if they had not
been diverted wagons, animals and
emigrants would have been trodden
under their feet.-Gen. John Bidwell in

Worlds Fair Pudding.

The composer of the following recipe
for Worlds fair plum pudding has
chosen nalne for it that should make it

grated fine, without crust; ten eggs
whites and yolks beaten separately;
three nutmcgs, half a pint of brandy,
one wineglass of wine. Mix suet, bread,
raisins, currants, pinch of salt, nut
megs and brandy over night. In the
morning moisten with little milk
Just before putting on to boil add sugar,
eggs and wine; work we'll together, put
in IL Toured cloth, leaving room to swell;
drop in boiling water and boil steadily
for four hours.-New York Herald.

A Wonderful Picture.


Directly after the great Johnstown
flood, some time during June, at any
rate, D. S. Wingrove, superintendent of
the marble yard at the penitentiary at
Baltimore, found slab of marble with
lines and veins which made q perfect
picture of the fated city Of Johnstown
and the surrounding country. The
sky is plainly marked, as are also the
hills and mountains surrounding the
town. Piles upon piles of ruins arc
marked, with an occasional steeple OF
topping wall overhanging the scene Of
awful destruction. Taken all in all, the
scientists consider it one of the most
wonderful natural formations ever found
in America.-St. Louis Republic.

A Christmas with Edwin Booth.

VI remember II Christmas | spent i'll
MIR. Booths company many years ago."
said young theatrical manager in the
foyer. "He had bought Il summer resi-
dence ut Cos Cob, Conn.,, the previous
summer, and invited me up to play
Santa Claus and do tho chimney act.
His property was a fair sized little
promontory of land, bounded on one silo
by the Connecticut river, on tho otlier
side by Long Island Sound, and the
New York and New Haven tracks
formed the base line. If there is any ono
road affected by tramps it is that same
Now Haven road, and when l arrived,
two OF three days before Christmas,
there was a limo of them waiting their
turn at the cato that reminded lnc of a
highly successful advance sale, one
tramp near the cato even offering to sell
his advanced position for ten cents
Booth was much worried about the dan
gcrous looking fellows, and it struck mo
that n dog would be highly appropriate
as a gift.
81 wired to n friend in New York, and
the day before Christmas the biggest
Siberian hound l ever saw was waiting
at the little station for me. Booth was
tichled to death, and we managed to
chain that dog just inside the main gate
near tho lodge, and then we shook hands
1t was all awful big dog, bigger than 4.
little donkey that arrived on the next
train with q go-cart as u present to his
little daughter Edwina, Well, we fixed
up the presents that night. dressed up
in fur rugs and traps as Santa Claus, and
had arranged to drive the donkey into
the reception room and distribute the
gifts from tho well laden go-cart. The
dog was to remain in the little shed we
had extemporized for him, but he didn't.
He was there on business, and he attend
ed to it promptly. The chain broke like
a piece of twine and broke for the bal
cony, which I just managed to reach
from the cart. OF course there was a
racket, and l got into the window, and
by the time we had armed ourselves with
antique swords and revolutionary mus
ket tho noise had subsidized sufficiently
for us to venture forth. The dog was
just seen in the moonlight disappearing
over the stone wall, thousands of dollars
worth of presents were scattered in the
deep snow, and donkey meat and fur
were lying an inch deep over the three
acres of the Booth premises. The Sibe-
ri;hl bloodhound had torn the donkey to
atoms. Chicago Tribune,

CONCERNING THE MlsTLEToe.
An Exotic Shrub Which Has but Recent
lY RccM introduced In America

An Exotic Shrub Which Has but Recent
ly Been Introduced In America.
Tho mistletoe hung on the castle wall
And tho holly branch shone in the old oak hall,
And the baron's retainers wcro blithe and gay
Keeping their Christmas holiday.
At this season of the year the mistletoe
is welcome addition to tho stock of our
florists, being intimately associated, asst
is, with Christmas sports. 1t is new,
however, to this country, and it is not
much moro than decade since the first
venture was ever brought here. The
shrub is mostly tropical and parasitical
and authorities on the subject tell us
that there arc over four hundred known
species of the order. There is only one
species known to Great Britain, the COM
mon mistletoe-the viscum album, as it
is botauically Mown-and it is with
that particular species that we have to
deal.
1t is popularity supposed that tho mis-.
tletoe grows exclusively on the oak tree,
but this is mistake, as it is found on
the oak in very rare instances, while it
grows with great profusion on tho apple,
the pear, the hawthorn, and also on syca-
mores, lines, poplars, locust trees and
frs. In some portions of the south of
England it is very abundant, and its
evergreen leaves give n peculiar appear
ance to tho orchards in winter, when tho
bushes of lnistletoe arc very conspicuous
among the naked branches of the trees.
There is superstition connected with
the mistlctoe that it is unlucky to fell an
oak on which it grows, and the author
of magma Britannia" describes great
wood belonging to the archbishops of
the Hundred Of Croyland, said to have
consisted wholly of oaks, and among
them was one that bore mistletoe, which
some persons were SO hardy as to cut
down for the gain Of selling it to the
apothecaries of London, leaving branch
of it to sprout out, but they proved un-
fortunate after it, for one of them fell
lame and others lost an eye. At length,
i'll the year 1878, a certain man, notwith-
standing ho was warned against it, upon
account of what the others had suf-
fercd, adventured to cut the tree down,
and he soon after broke his leg. To fell
oaks had long been considered fatal, and
such as believe it produce the instance
of the Earl of Winchelsea, who, having
felled q curious grovo of oaks, soon after
found his countess dead in her bed sud
denly, and his eldest son, Lord Maid
stone, was presently killed by /. cannon
ball,-NeW York Press.

They Parted to Meet No Moro

a clergyman called OH a man who had
just lost his wife to offer him consola-
ton. "Don't fret, my friend, the clergy
man said; "the time will soon come when
you will meet her never to part again"
"But parson," said tho man, "Pve been
married twice, and what want to know
is which wife am to meet never to part
againT Or am l to meet both of them
never to part again!' 1t strikes mo that,
if so, it will be bit awkward. Besides,
hated my first wife, for she was reg
ular vixen"
The clergyman was puzzled what 10
say, when tho man suddenly frightened
up and exclaimed, almost cheerfully:
II think it will be all right, parson.
My first wife was such u downright bad
'un that l don't think there's much fear
Of my meeting her in heaven. ."-London

Shell your peanuts and chop them fine;
measure them in cup and take just the
same quantity of granulated sugar as
you have peanuts. Put the sugar in a

moving the skillet AROUND until the sugar
is dissolved; then put in Tire peanuts and
