a Lucky Catch,
wishes

A workman in mine who had
played cricket in his time once saved
his life by making a good catch. He
was standing at the bottom of a shaft
waiting for a bucketful of dynamite
sticks that were being lowered to him.
The bucket was well on its way down
when he saw it strike against some oh
stacle and turn partly over. Out fell
one of the sticks. He watched it fall
ing in a zigzag course-a messenger
Of instant death. When it struck the
hard bottom there would be a tremen-
dous explosion and a dead miner. But
it did not strike the hard bottom. Like
player on the field the workman put
up his hands and caught the stick with
that easy swing of the arms that crick-
eters acquire,

always pitched upon a popular key.
When his official life was in danger it
rose upon one or two occa sions-notably
in the famous parliamentary conflict of

Mr., Gladstone is credited with saying
that the secret of eloquence consists in
giving back to ones hearers in drops
what one has received from them as
spray. If this be Mr.. Gladstones analy-
sis of his own power. we venture to
suggest that he does himself injustice.
But it serves admirably as fsurativc
expression of the essence of Lord Pal
merstOn's popularity He knew his
public to perfection. Their national
prejudices appealed to him as man.
arc upon these prejudices he built his
supremacy as foreign minister. OF
course there were not lacking those who
saw through all this. Indeed. they rep
resented very considerable and highly
respectable opposition. But Palmer
sion knew so well what the galleries
liked. and played to them with such as
siduity and success. that he could al
most afford to ignore his critics.
To say this is in no sense to assert
that he was without positive cOnvic-
tons. very unusual administrative
abilities. or a smattering of disinterest-
ed sentiment. A man may possess all
