HEROIC AND PATRIOTIC ACTIONS

The following is the address which
Mr.. William M. Lawler had prepared
for delivery on the occasion of the re-
cent A. o. II. celebration of the
Fourth of July. Because of family
affection he was unable to fulfill his
part of the programme. The paper,
however, contains so much that is in
teresting and instructive that we feel
justified in presenting it to the readers
of the Kentucky Irish-American this
week.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and
Fellow Citizens: The subject, Irish
Americans, which has been assigned
to me on this occasion is one which is
very appropriate for the Fourth of
July. 1t comes natural for us to join
in the refrain:

reation of riding, driving, hunting or
fishing. He was a great walker, and
when he wanted more active exercise his
famous axe came into requisitiOn, and
it's vigorous blows frequently resounded
In the neighboring grounds where he
felled the superfluous trees with his own
hands, limbered up his muscles, and
started the healthy Precipitation which
seemed to clear the fog from his brain
and fit him for renewed mental work.
Gladstone was not altogether demi-
god; he had some human frailtIes. There
sprung up great friendship between
the statesman and little Pomeranian
dog named PETE. PETE had passion for
running after sticks, and his special at
tachment to the premier of England
arose from the fact that the premier
gratifed his passion by throwing sticks
for him to fetch. One morning PETE ac-
companied his master out to the forest
and presently the chips began to fly from
the sturdy strokes Of the statesman's
axe, and the little Pomeranian was neg
lected. AtIlength he picked up the chips
as they flew and brought them to his
masters feet so persstently that the
honorable gentleman had to give in and
devote share of his attention to PETE
Gladstone demanded plain speaking
and home thrusts. He once remarked.
Zone thing 1 have against the clergy,
both of the country and in the town:
they are not severe enough on their con-
gregations. They do not sufficiently lay
upon the souls and consciences Of their
hearers their moral obligations, and
probe their hearts, and bring up their

science" And then he cited the case of
Lord Melbourne, who got in a mighty
fume because his preacher actually in
sisted in applying religion to a mans pri-
vate life. "But that" said Mr.. Glad
stone, sis the kind of preaching which
like best, the kind which men need
most"
Gladstone's diet was very simple. Els
first meal usually consisted of a hard
boiled egg and slice of tongue with tea
and toast. For luncheon cold meat, milk
pudding and cheese, and glass of light
wine. His dinner was equally simple;
soup, fish, rice. prunes and rice pudding.
Cheese and glass of claret or port fin
ished the meal. He, did not drink coffea
because It made him wakefu. He re-

Perhaps no notable person Of the pres
ent century has been pictured so often
and In so many different ways as MI.
Gladstone. Paintings and photographs
embrace every period of his life from
babyhood to old age. and we shall now
be deluged with scenes connected with
his deathbed and funeral obsequies. One
Of the pictures most priced ~ the Glad
stone household Is an ivory painting of
himself and his little sister when he was
but two years old. There is no hint In

cheering when he sat down. The veneer
able statesman had been speaking for an
hour and a quarter, and his animation
throughout was worthy ofhis most virfle
years. He was a picture never to be eff
faced from memory"
In the ringing appeal then made In the
interest Of humanity, Mr.. Gladstone
made repeated and kindly illusions to
the attitude Of America on the Armenian
question, and showed by the broad lines
on which he rested his arguments that he
was not merely a statesman OF Great
Britain, but a statesman of the world.
Born in 1909, Gladstone's career is al
most coeval with the century, and his
public life extends over more than two
thirds Of it. During that period no other
man has exercised such an influence over
the public mind in Great Britain as he.
Equipped with all the culture Of his
time, he knew Ghe best that had been
thought and felt by the human mind In
all ages. He was the modern intellectual
Hercules.
The following fine poetic tribute to
Gladstone, and just estimate Of his char
acter and genius, was written by William
Sharp:
Not only among men their natural lord,
But Prince of those who lead. A Herald
thou,
Who dost not quail at any ravening sword,
Because the light of Truth is on thy
brow!
Dauntless, and swift, and strong. thou still
dost move
'Mong lesser men, as might some alien
spirit
From the high spheres of heaven, where
all is love.
Pass through the realms of those who
death inherit.
Thy triumph, too, is sure for thou art grit
With weapons forged by the eternal
Powers,
Truth, Freedom, Right; and none shall do
thee hurt.
No archer wound thee from the foemen's
towers;
What tho with envious gibes men
mock and rail,
He best may laugh who surely shall
prevail.

about half an hour each day In skim

that brief time he completely possessed

important details of public affairs at
home and abroad.
Gladstone was fine linguist. He was
perfectly at home in the classics, and
read Latin and Greek with the same IA
cility as English. His libary was stored
with German works in science and lit
erature. After he was fourscore he
made speech in French at Paris. and
several speeches in italian in Italy.

Hawarden, the now classic home OF
the great commoner, is just over the bor-
der Of Wales not far from the old Eng
lish town Of Chester, and is on historic
ground. The castle on the heights In
the rear was held by the ancient Britons
against Saxon and Dane. and at one time
the Welsh Prince Llewollyn was Lord of
Hawarden. After 1t was conquered
from Wales somewhere in the thirteenth
century, King Edward presented it to
the House of Salisbury, from whom It
passed into the possession of the Earls
Of Derby. When the last Derby was
executed along with Charles the First,

About the time that Queen Victoria

assembled the throne Of England, in 1887,
Miss Gynne, who was very pretty girl,
met a young Englishman in Rome.
Though but 80 years of age, he already
had national reputation. for he was
Junior lord Of the treasury and famed
as a rising orator and statesman. The
two young people visited the sights of
the ancient city, spent many pleasant
hours together, and the upshot was that
shortly after their return to England
Miss Catherine Glynne became Mrs.
Gladstone. The union was one Of unal-
]oyed happiness, for they never ceased

When asked to name the writers and
thinkers who had most influenced him,
he mentioned Aristotle. the ancient phi

theologian; Dante, the medieval poet,

of logical reasoning.
Gladstone wrote good verses, both In
English and Latin. One Of his favorite
