THINKING ALOUD,
"A fuse Which Reused Lord Dudley AM
Formed a Friendship

"A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
: Formed Friendship.
One OF the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in very awkward
predlcament on a certain occasion, if a
story told of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
OF friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had a long drive back to his
own home
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably ANNOYED by
the delay, one of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship 's house,
politely offered him a seat in his car
rage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove a very So
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence.
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan.
ION, to his astonishment, heard him saw:
I'm very sorry accepted his offer
L don t know the man. 1t was civil GER
talnly, but the worst is l suppose /
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
OF his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
suffered, for he exactly imitat-
'd Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
Perhaps he'll think l did it to make
us acquaintance. Why, | would have
lone the same to any farmer on his ,,
state. l hope he won t ask me to din.
'er Tor shan t accept his invitation. ("
Lerd Dudley's abstraction was all ,
.one. He listened to the others words. h
pretending tho Joke /
salnst himself, and frankly offered his |
and to his companion, making many +
pologies for his involuntary rudeness. n

DR.. Max Muller relates that the lat

England and was fond of meeting Will

one occasion she lunched with Dea1
Stanley and asked him to invite seyera
literary men, among whom were Tcnny
son, Lord Houghton, HUXLEY and Mas

Luncheon was ready, and everybody

son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
party should wait no longer, but the
queen refused to sit down before the
laureate's arrival. There was another
period of waiting, painful to all the
company.
Finally some one suggested that prob.
ably Tennyson was incoming about in
the cloisters somewhere. " One was sent
to see, and the poet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any,
thing was going on. He was brought in
and placed at the table next the queen
of the Netherlands.
The queen took tho conversation into
her own hands and in Particular tried
to draw Tennyson out. He was not in
talking mood. She addressed him n
question.
"Yes, ma am" he answered.
Then there was another question,
NO, ma am, came from Tennysor.
Again she asked his opinion about
something. The question was not sus. |
ceptible Of answer by Eyes" or "No, "
"Ma":A' said Tennyson after q

said on both sides of the question. "
Presently he turned and whispered TO

THE BEAUTIFUL,


Wrinlsled and old are those hands of
hers,
Hard and full of the seams
or labor and the years,
Knotted the knuckles
And creased and crinkled
The skin on the backs of them,
Dark veined and large
With splotches of brown
Between the drawn tendons,
AS if scared by tears,
Thick the nails and blunted.
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length of them,
Callous the palms
And lacking all pinkness and prettiness,
Old are those hands Of hers,
Wrinkled and hard.
But, oh, what story Of
Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell,
Those hands of a woman
Whose threescore years an. ten
Have been passed in doing the good
That women do!

prime minister the premier of the Unit

less 1t be the czar or the president of

Yet, great as is the power of prime
minister, tn: office has no foundation on

a legal pedant, blind to all facts not in

common law, were asked to define the
office of prime minister and to describe
the cabinet, he would DO utterly at q

In theory the prime minister is only
a pr!vy councillor at the head of q de-
