The Cool Retort of n witty Girl 10

Among weddings slated for the near fu-

has just won for his bride charming girl to
whose heart he had long laid siege. The law.
yer is not without a certain amount Of good
opinion regarding himself, and particularly
prldes himself on being rather favorite
among girls of his acquaintance. Nearly a
year ago he first sought the hand of the
bride to be, but she demrrred. A few
months later he met with a second refusal,
but determined TO make one more effort.
By this time the young woman had come to
regard him with good deal of esteem. This
feeling grew in warmth, and so, when, a
week or so ago, he once more urged his suit,
she said the word which made him the hap

THE "GRAND OLD MAN."
Public and Private Life of William
Ewart Gladstone.
Remarkably Long and brilliant Career
That Marks Him One of the
Greatest Men of the Cen

Born in the early days OF the century
with Dickens, ThaclSeray, Lincoln,
Longfellow and many other distin-
guished men, Gladstone survived them
so long as to seem 20 be of a different
generation. Yet. as fact, he attained
distinction before any of these, and
held his prominence and his infinite
popularity to the very last.
William Ewart Gladstone was born
at Liverpool December 90 1909, his
father being Sir John Gladstone, a
well-known and prosperous merchant
of that city. MIR. Gladstone had all
the advantages of thorough training
in youth, being educated at Eton and
Christ church, Oxford, from which he
graduated in 1881. In the following
year he entered parliament and prac-
tically remained member of that
body as long as he lived. 1t may not
be generally known that the illustrious
Briton had at one time an ambition 10
be a lawyer: in fact, in 1888, he entered
Lincoln's Inn, where he studied for six
years before abandoning the idea, to
devote himself to scholarship, literary
work and statecraft, in all of which he
attained the greatest eminence.
1t is scarcely possible to recapitulate
in brief sketch the great work per.
formed by this remarkable man, who
was a poet, orator, scholar, statesman,
diplomat, linguist, essayist and his.

part of the development of his country
at home as well as in the colonies. Be.

A Cute Prophet.

\ man who had lost leg, witnessing
some wonderful cures said TO have been
performed by Mormon preachers. joined
that sect in the hope of getting healed.
The preachers referred him to Young
as the only prophet among them cap
able of treating such cases as his. So off
TO Salt Lake City he went and presented
himself before You2g. The Mormon
leader was equal to the emergency. He
assured the man he could cause another
limb to come In place Of the lost mem
Der, but called his attention TO the fact
that he had but few years yet TO live,
while there was an eternity beyond the
grave. "And If now give you another
leg" said the prophet, you will not
only have this one when you get 10
Heaven, but also the one which you
lost, so you will go through all eternity

pect the man retired, satisfied TO get
