characters and icmpcramcnts of the two
men. Gladstone changed his political
opinions many times during his long
parliamentary career. But he changed
his opinions only in Difference TO the
force of a growing conviction. and 10
the recognition OF facts and conditions
which he could no longer conscientious
ly dispute. Nobody probably ever knew
what Mr. Disracli's real opinions We're
upon political questions, or whether
he had any real opinions al all.
Among other differences between
the two men were differences in edu-
cation. Disraeli never had anything
like the classical training of Gladstone.
The mind of Gladstone was STEPPED in
the glorious literature of Greece AMI
OF Rome. about which Disraeli knew
little or nothing. Disraeli could not
read Latin or Greek; he could not
speak French. In famous speech oS
his delivered in the house of commons
at the height of his fame and in op-
position to measure of Gladstonc's,
Disraeli made it plain that he thought
the meaning of university was place
where everything was taught-a place
of universal instruction. In another
famous speech he described John Henry
Ncwmans Apologize pro Vita Sua,' as
an apology for Newman's life. When
the congress of Berlin sat in 1878, and
was presided over by Prince Bismarck.
the great Prussian statesman opened
and conducted The business in English.
Disraeli, accompanied by Lord Sails
bury, represented England at the con-
gress. and 1T was at first supposed thai
Bismarck spoke English simply as a
mark of compliment to England. But
Bismarck kindly spoke English because
1t had been made known to him that
Disraeli could not speak French.

The American Joke.

Now this Is the history OF the Amcri-

happen unto a piece of American hu-

1t nppeareth in the American publishers

matte German and printed as Il pro-

In process of time the German ver-
sion of the American joke returns to the

honest American editors translate 1t

sent to the French statesman in 1880:
"Menelek H., by the grace of God,
King of CEoa, t" Monsieur Leon Gam

Deputies:
How are you? We, by the grace
of the Almighty, are very we'll, and all
our armies, too.
After praying you to accept our best
wishes for your health and prosper
ity, we write:
"The news that comes to us f1om
Europe makes us recognize in you a
man devoted to his country. All our
sympathy is given to men who are de-
voted to their countries; and that is
the reason why we offer to you, and
pray you to accept and believe in, our
consideration and our friendship.
I'VE are also writing to the president
of the French republic. We ask for
much, and we also hope for much fl ON

the first to plant among us the ideas

and protector of the oppressed, and VIC
address ourselves to you in +he firm
conviction that you will do something
for our people, for whom we solicit
the benefits of civilization. That Is
something which we can never have
so long as we remain in the power OF
nations whose interest 1t Is to hold us
in absolute ignorance of European af-
fairs. ...
1--WE hope, therefore, that you will
consider favorably our position and that
God may inspire you favorably toward
our kingdom, which at present, stands
in need, we fear, of the assistance of
eWNy generous heart.
1--WE take the liberty to present to
you by our confidential ENJOYS in tes-

you:

Grand Order Of Honor and Friendship:

"In addition to the distinctive sgni-
fications that these objects may possess,
they have also the feeble merit of he-
ing the work of a population unknown
to Europe.

upon you every blessing.

Otto had gone 10 a meadow few miles
from his house after a load of hay, and
left his eldest son, boy of y, to look aft

piece of grassy woodland within a short

old army musket, loaded with duckshot,
and was accompanied by one of his faith

some way from his charges, looking for
something to shoot at, when his attention

A TOWN WITHOUT WHEELS.
VOllendam, Holland, the Only Place Where
They Never Saw a Bicycle.
- on Pedals.

Vollendam, Holland. Sept. 22.-Vollen-
dam is the only city in the world that has
never known bicycle. or at least it never
had until ately. Vollendam is a little
fishing village. 1t was founded so. many
hundreds of years ago that even Holland
literature has no record of it's first set
Ting, and its citizens are the most conser-
vative on earth, and that is why it has
never known a bicycle.
The people who live there are the odd
est, most old-fashioned folks you could
imagine.
The men wear magenta waistcoats and
remarkable trousers buttoned With huge
silver buttons that are heirlooms. In
Vollendam a man never loses his trouser
button, but if he happens to do so a search
is ordered all through the village, and no
one rests until the button has been found
and returned
Nollendam is the quaintest village, visi-
tors say, they ever saw. There are funny
little peak-roofed, red-tiled houses. with
the walls painted bright yellow and cover
ed with old Delft ware that the people will
not SELL You can imagine the brilliancy
