Gladstone az a Boy.

William Ewart Gladstone, at the age
Of IL, was the best looking boy who
eve entered Elton, and the brightest
fellow who ever left it. He was al
ways proud to claim membership with
one of the old families Of commerce,
and to the last declined all honors and
titles offered him by the queen, pre-
ferring to remain zone Of the people,"
His mother traced her ancestry to the
royalty of the fourteenth century. She
was a woman of very great accomplish
ments, and exacted obedience from her
six children. Gladstone's earlier life
was passed under the direct are of this
wise and watchful mother. Her boys
were required to perform some manual
labor, and to take much physical ex-
ercise, and were instructed in wood
saving and carving. A mans treat
ment Of his wife is a reflection Of his
mothers memory. In Gladstone's
beautiful study. called the Temple Of
Peace" were three desks-one for po-
litical and business correspondence, one
for literary work and N for Mrs.
Gladstone. who vas a most discreet, as
we'll as able, woman, and had not only
the gift Of silver-tongued speech, but
of golden silence when occasion re-
quired.

Spanish Cave Dwe,lers Of To-day.

spanish cave OWell0fo OF TO-DAY
We commonly refer the cave dwell
ers to prehistoric times, but there
are still some of these people in parts
of Europe that are considered civiliz-
ed. Their primitive dwellings are, in
some cases, natural caves, and in 9TH
ers have been hewn out of the rocks.
Some of these homes in Spain are de-
scribed by a writer. He says: There
is no need Of an aims house in Alcala.
One side of the hill above the town is
honey-combed with caves, which are
used by the poor as dwellings, free of
rent and taxes. These caves run in
tiers, with paths between them, and
before each is a garden in which grow
the prickly pear, fig, villas, maize and
vegetables. The combination of rock
and foliage gives the whole hillside
that singular appearance of rocky
fertility seen only in southern lands.
and particularly in the presence Of
cactus growth. The people seemed
quite as comfortably situated as many
who lived in houses, and in general
appearance the aims house hill of Alca-
In was more attractive than the gypsy
quarter of Granada. Doubtless these
caves have the advantage owe ordi-
nary houses of being warmer in win
ter and cooler in summer"

Bean Game.

Here is a noisy, jolly game. A bag
Of beans is brought in and every one
present puts his or her hand in 1t and
takes a few beans. which are held in
the hand until all are served. Then
they are to count the beans, and all
who. have odd numbers to form in line
on the right, and. all with even num-
bers to form in a line on the left.
Then the first person on the right, line
starts over to the left side and gives
one in that line a bean al long as they
last, and then he or she sits down. The
same time the first one on the left be-
gins to give out what beans he or she
has on the right line, and when they
are all gone, he or she sits down. The
next couple do the same, and so on.
until all the beans are given out. The
last couple by this time has all the
beans. and II one is dropped q burnt
cork Is brought and q little mark is
put on the face OF each one. and when
the total Is counted the one having the
odd number Is to have the black marks
put on for every bean in excess Of the

Ing the odd number ct the end Of the

HAS Tucked FIVE CENTURIES
Famous Old Clock In Roucn Has Kept
Time for $40 Years.

Famous Old Clock In ROucn Has Kept
Time for $40 Years.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of it's
cotton manufacture, possesses the old
est public clocks in the world. The
great Rouen clock has held its place
in that city for $40 years and is the
pride of its citizens. Placed in 1889,
it has been running without Interrupt
ton from that day to this, requiring
nothing except cleaning and a few
trifing repairs of it's accessory parts.
The great clock has so accustomed
the citizens to look upon its exacti-
tude as a matter of course that when,
in 1872, the breaking Of a wire pre-
vent it's sounding 5 o'clock n morn
ing, the population was in a state of
CONSERVATION. The magistrates sum-
moned the observation-disclosures Pc
tit-and demonstrated gravely with
him. Until 1912 the great clock had
no pendulum. For 1923 years it had
no other regulator than a "foliot," an
apparatus unknown to the majority of
modern clock makers. The pendulum
in clock work was introduced in 1859,
but 10 we'll satisfied were the people
Of Rouen with the time keeping quail
tiles of their famous old clock that
f%ifty-three years were allowed to pass
before a pendulum was substituted for
the "foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus it has continued to this day
I to strike the hours and chime the
quarters.

An Embarrassed Student.

Mr.. Spurgeon used to tell a good
story about one of his divinity stu
dents. 1t was his custom, in order to
test the powers of the young men for
speaking, to give them, as they were
about to ascend the pulpit, a text to
discourse about on their own plan and
in their own words. This, Of course,
was not before an audience, but simply
among themselves for practice. On the
occasion referred to, he gave to a
young man, who as yet had not tried
the ordeal, the simple word, "Zac-
chaeus." The young man, trembling
from head to foot, said: I will divide
my subject into three parts. First, We
read that Zacchaeus was small of stat
ure, and l felt smaller than at
the present moment. Second, We read
that, Zacchaeus climbed a tree, which
reminds me Of my ascent into this pull
pit. Third. We read that Zacchaeus
made haste to come down-which ac-
cordingly I will now do" Whether this
man ever became a great preacher or
not, we are not told, but he certainly
showed that he possessed ready wit.

outlaws proceeded to take the money.
1t was in bars of $12,5 500. They placed
the treasure In a two-horse wagon and
started overland toward the Missouri
river. The wagon vas traced to the
river neal Niobrara, Neb. AS an evil
dence Of the furious rate Of speed the
team was being driven at. a number
Of bars of gold-three In all-were
picked up along the route, which had
jolted out of the wagon. This was all
ever secured of the stolen money.
Wilson and Carey were never cap
tured, and lived to spend the money.
The two outlaws mutilated the faces
of their two dead companions by cut
ting them with knives so that the
authorities would not be able to iden-
tify them and thus connect the band
with the robbery. The dead bodies
were left as they had fallen at the
Buffalo Gap station. This was the last
time the Deadwood treasure coach was
held up.

THE MONUMENT.

I think I may fairly claim to know
more Of Monty's pe~culiarities than
most people for I have known him all
my life.
Therefore. when he told me one at

He vas tall and extremely handsome,

You cannot argue with him; he will
neither be convinced himself o be at

cannot interest him against his will,
Rnd he seldom wishes to be interested.

A Mystery.


Flowers from clods of clay and mud!
Flowers so bright, and grass so green
Tell me-. blade. and leaf, and bud,
How 1t is you're all SO clean.
If my fingers touch these sods.
See, they're streaked with sticky earth
Yet you spring from clayey clods,
Pure, n fresh, and fair from birth.
Do vol wash yourself at night
In a bath of diamond dew,
That you look so fresh n bright
When the morning dawns on you?
God, perhaps, sends summer showers,
When the grass grows ray for rain,
To wash h faces of His flowers,
And bid His fields be green again.
Tell me, blade, and leaf, and bud;
Flowers so fair, and grass so green;
Growing out of clay and mud,
How it is you're all so clean.

Mosquitoes New to England.

From Aimslee's Magazine: English
people will tell you that in their happy
isle there are no such things as mos
quitoes.' One gets pretty we'll used to
this kind of talk, but in this particular
instance the boast holds good. OF. rather.
did hold good until within the last few
years. 1t is not alone dollars that the
summer tourist has brought to London.
Mosquitoes have been imported. and
they have distressed the British more
than the American visitors. Probably
the name is a potent n to conjure
with, and some idea of what terrible
things are expected of mosquitoes may
be, learned from this simple tale Of the
north countree: Some miners In re.
mote workings of a Yorkshire colliery
reported to the superintendent that
they had been much annoyed by the
bites of mosquitoes, and found a
large and energetic colony OF yellow
banded wasps-"yaller Jackets" If you
like that better.
