HOW GLADSTONE BUYS BOOKS.
Eugene Field Tells of Sample
TRANSACTION That He Witnessed.

For good many years was deeply
interested in British politics. I was
converted to Liberalism, so called, by
an incident which L deem well worth
relating.
One afternoon I entered a bookshop
in High Holborn and found that the
Hon. William E. Gladstone had pre-
Mr.. Gladstone before. 1 recognized
him now by his resemblance to the
caricatures and by his unlikeness to
the portraits which the newspapers
had printed. AS 1 entered the shop L
heard the bookseller ask:
What books shall I send?'
To this, indicating a magnificent
sweep of his arms indicating every
point of the compass, Gladstone made
answer:
"Send me those"
With these words he went and I
stepped forth to claim a volume WhieE,,.
had attracted my attention seve
days previous.
Il beg your pardon, sir" said the
bookseller politely, but that book is
sold"
"sold?'' 1 cried.
eyes, sir" replied the bookseller,
smiling with evident pride. Mr.
Gladstone has just bought them all"
The bookseller then proceeded to tell
me that whenever Gladstone entered
a bookshop he made practice of buy
ing everything in sight. That magnf-
ficent. sweeping gesture of his com
pretended everything theology, his
tory. social science, folklore, medicine,
travel, biography everything that
came to his net was fish.
'"This is the third time Mr.. Gladstone
has visited me-" said the bookseller,
land this is the third time he has
cleaned me out"
This man is a good man." says L to
myself. $50 notable lover of books
surely cannot err. The cause of home
rule must be just after ALL
From others intimately acquainted
with him 1 learned that Gladstone
was an omnivorous reader; that he
ordered his books by the CARLOAD, and
that his home in Hawarden literally
overflowed with books. He made a.
practice, I was told, of overhauling
his library once in so often and of
wedding out such volumes as he dAi
not care to keep. These discarded
books were sent to secondhand deal
ers, and it is said that the dealers not
infrequently took advantage of Glad
stone by reselling him over and over
again-and at advanced prices, too

out and rejected.-Chicago Record.

Socialist Leader BECOMES Violent
and is Called to Order.
Berlin, Dec. 12.-In the reichstag to-
day Herr Hausmann, National LID
eral. declared that the tone of speech
of the minister for war. General Bron-
sart Won Schellendorf, yesterday when
he said among other things that should
the police fail and the army be re-
ouired to deal with socialism there
would be no child's play, etc., lowered
the standard of the good taste of the
. house.
Herr Hausmann made other remarks
on the subject, which resulted In MS
being called to order.
DR. Schoenstedt. the minister of JUS
tice. replying to Herr Hausmann's
structures of the administration of
justice. said the authorities were far
from wishing to prosecute on the
charge of lese majestic uneducated peo-
pie who were guilty of thoughtless
remarks. But, he continued, the pub
lie prosecutors were doing their duty
in prosecuting those whom they found
guilty of carefully calculated insults
which appear in the Socialist press.
This called forth vehement inter-
ruption from Herr Liebknecht, the
Socialist leader, which led to his being
called to order.
Herr Bebel. who precipitated the up
roar in the reichstag yesterday, de-
clared that the public prosecutors have
double set Of ears, and that Social
lists are dragged to prison while q
Hammerstein is allowed to escape. He
had heard there were letters from Con-
sentative leaders containing outrag-
eous lese majestic
The speaker was interrupted here by
loud cries from the Rightists of "Pro-
duce them!'
DIR. Schoenstedt, the Prussian min.
lister of Justice. replied that offenses
must be judged according to the
tendencies of the authorities. He was
of the opinion that the tendency Of the
Socialists made their insult to the SOW
erelgn dangerous and penal.
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe said that
the emperor's declarations against the
SOCIALISTS were entirely justified. "r
shall take care" said the chancellor
not to follow Herr Bebeps advice to
restrain the emperor from strongly ex-
pressing his Indignation in the future
as ne has done in the past"

The clerks have been holding secret

in Chicago where clerks are employed.
OF that number only the big depart

ton is passed. Two prominent ply
sicians of the college have either left
