GLADSTONE's ENERGY.
Marvellous Endurance Of England's Late
Premier.

Marvellous Endurance Of England's Late
Premier.
The physical and mental energy dis
played by Mr.. Gladstone, while con-
Quoting the home rule bill through the
house of commons, was marvellous,
considering that he is eighty-four years
old, and has for several years been un-
der the orders of his physician. Says
London paper:
In conducting the home rule bill
through committee he displayed al
most spirit Of monopoly in regard to
the speech making. There was scarcely
o clause. line. or word whose entire
defense he would intrust to his lieu
tenants
Night after night he sat through
long hours, answering every amend
ment in strings of little dazzling
speechlets, soon breaking through the
doctors rule Of retiring from the de-
bate at nine o'clock, and at the end OF
the session more persistent in attend
ance than any Of his colleagues.
Never-we can say without fear of
contradiction he reached to
higher level of sustained eloquence
than during this session.
Whether we take his great speeches
on the first, second and third readings
of the home rule bill, his hundred and
one little constitutional discourses in
committee, his innumerable displays Of
wit and argument in the personal COM
bats with Mr.. Chamberlain, or, last but
not least, his m any important speeches
on open questions like the opium traffic
and the eight-ho ur day, he has shown
the same unriv aled and unchallenged
prominence.

ONLY LET HER LOOK WELL.
And the Average Woman VIII Face Death

And the Average Woman VIII Face Death
with Reasonable Calmness.
A young lady of Greensboro, KY,
while recently visiting in another
state, narrowly missed horrible
death. She was walking upon long
and high railroad trestle with a male
friend and they were overtaken about
the middle Of it by lightning express
train. They had sufficient presence Of
mind to step out upon the end Of the
ties, and, crouching down, chung to q
water barrel fastened on the side OF
the trestle. The flying train caused
such a vibration of the trestle and the
young woman was SO frightened she
all but lost her grip upon the barrel,
which would have meant horrible
death upon the rocks below. After
ward she said she did not think In this
moment of great peril of her father,
mother or sweetheart, or the little
sins of her past life, but only of the
fact that the greasy barrel and cross
ties were running her new spring
gown. This reminds the Greensboro
Messenger of the experience of a
girl at Russellville, who, when run
down in carriage with gentleman
at crossing by train. suddenly
found herself suspended In midair on
the pilot of the engine, supported by
one arm of the gentleman about her
waist, while he chung on to the pilot
with the other. She said she only re-
membered that she had gone out to
drive with her shabby shoes on, and
wondered If anybody was seeing them.

SETTING A ROOSTER.
A Darky Who Utilized a Male Member
fhfrIon

A Darky Who Utilized a Male Member of
the Chicken Tribe. !;
+ A citizen Of Rumford had canvassedi
the town in vain from end to end In
search of ''hen to set says the Prov
idencc Journal, when he heard that an
old darby on the Boston, Providence 81
Newport road had great deal of
setting stock AS this was just what
he wanted, he lost no time in hunting;
him up. he found the old man build
ing hen coop In the rear of his resi-,
dence. Approaching, he asked, by
way of broaching the subject, how
many hens he had setting"
''Three hens and q rooster, boss" :.
"And a which?" inquired the poul-,
try man, thinking he had not heard
straight.
"a rooster" replied the darby. !,
Seeing the look of distrust on his.
visitors face he took him into low:
building, and sure enough there sat
a Brahma rooster calmly covering
twenty eggs. On one side of him sat
two hens and on the other third hen.
The visitor, seeing how stately the
rooster sat, secretly resolved to get
some of the darky's eggs and hatch
out special lot of roosters. On being
asked what he did when the rooster
wouldn't sit any longer, the darby re-
piled that dat ar rooster done bound
to set. '.pointing underneath the box.
Looking under the box the visitor
was surprised to find both Of the roost-
er's legs sticking through holes in the
box. The black rascal had actually
bored holes through the box and tied
the ROSTERS legs underneath, so, as he
said, the rooster was done bound to
set"
Inquiring into the matter, the Rum
ford man found that the darby had
four hens and one rooster. Three of
the hens were setting and the other
hen was laying. The darby, finding
the eggs of the hen accommodating
quite fast, decided to let up feeding
the rooster corn, and make him hatch
a flock of chickens.

attired in a jacket and cap. While

the onset with such undisturbed
tranquility that the dog halted with

Both animals took a long, steady
stare at each other, when suddenly
the monkey raised his paw and grace
