England, which is rich in gentlemen,
furnished, in the beginning of the pres
ent century. a good model of that genius
which the worli loves in Charles James
Fox, who added to his great abilities the
most social disposition and real love Of
men. A characteristic anecdote is re-
lated of the celebrated orator and states
man:
A trldesman who had long dunned
Mr.. Fox for note Of three hundred
guineas found him one day counting
gold. and demanded payment of his long
due note.
81 cannot pay you now. said Fox. 81
owe this money to Sheridan: it is debt
Of honor. II an accident should happen
to me he has nothing to show to main
tain his claim.
Then, said the creditor, 81 change
my debt into debt Of honor" and tore
the note in pieces.
Fox thanked the man for his conf
dence, and paid him, saying: His debt
was of older standing, and Sheridan
must wait
Fox was the lover of liberty, friend OF
the Hindoo. friend of the African slave
he possessed a great personal popularity,
and Napoleon said of him. on the occa-
sion of his visit to Paris in 1906: "Mr.
Fox will always hold the first place in an
assembly at the Tuileries. - Youths

A Stranger Whose Title Prodaesd ssr.
prise In Tennessee.
A dignified looking stranger entered
the ticke. office of the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad yes
terday, and stated that he wished to
purchase tickets for himself and family
TO Texas, and also wanted to &C.
cure rates for the transportation OF .
carload OF household furniture. Col.
Harry Wilson waited on the gentleman,
and ascertained that his name was Mar
tin. He negotiated trade with him
for the tickets, and referred him to the
freight office on Monroe street for infor-
nation about freight rates.
As the stranger displayed goOdly
role Of Doodle it was incumbent on Col.
Wilson to treat him with the considers
ton due his Importance, and so he told
Billy to take the colonel over and intro
duce him to Mr.. BARLEY, and he took
care to lay the accent on the colonel.
Billy got the stranger safely over to
the freight office, and in his politest
manner presented him to VIII BARLEY
as follows: Mr.. BARLEY, allow me to
introduce to you Col. Martin"
The stranger drew himself up haught-
lily, and striking an attitude, with his
right hand over his left breast pocket,
said: II am no colonel, young man; l
am something higher than that"
Excuse me; ! meant to say briga-
der" apolosized Billy.
II have higher title than that" said
the great man.
Billy was equal to the occasion, and
came again with II really meant to say
major general, you know
He was knocked out again, however,
by the supposed officer remarking with
heightened dignity, which, however,
was softened by quiet, amused smile:
you have not got up high enough yet. "
You must be the commander-in-chief
Of the army" suggested Billy in doubt
full sort Of tone, but the stranger par
alvzed him<5y the announcement that
he held a still higher tide.
Billy was stunped. He thought the dis
ting;.islied visitor was no other than the
pr silens travelling in cog, but he dis
missed that idea. and then his curiosity
got the better of his reverence, and he
blurted out: "Well. who are you, any
wayr'
The stranger softly replied: 81 am a
minister of the gospel, sir," and Billy
