SERGEANT O'KEEFE'S PIPE.

well, sir" said Corporal Grady,
"one of the most amusing things that
happened before Santiago was the loss
of Sergt. Okecfe's pipe. You see, in
Our forced march to the front most Of
us threw away all the loose luggage we
had, and with our kits went pipes and
tobacco. O'kcefe, however. had his
in his pocket. and after we got in posi-
ton and were waiting orders. the SER
geant pulled out his pipe and tobacco
and soon was enjoying a fine smoke.
Then the rest of us began TO look for
our pipes and tobacco. but not one
could be found. Oh, tell you, our
mouths watered, and we watched
O'Keefe with longing eyes. think the
spalpeen enjoyed our misery. for he
kept putting great volumes of smoke.
making rings and clouds that scented
the air. Every one of us begged for a
crack at his pipe. but he gave us the
laugh. We were lying in the r~ass to
keep out of the way of Spanish bullets
as they whizzed overhead. but after an
hours wait some of us became careless
and stood up, among the number he eng

ESTIMATE OF MR.. GLADSTONE
U:s Was an August ShaE"
acterlxed by Greatest OF
Courage.

In most of the euiogies of Mr.. Glad
stone there is agreement on the main
points. says ii writer in i."r;er's Naga-
..ite. Courage first: it is u trait OF
character Ia which Mr.. Gladstone was
ny,er surpassed; it is visible in his
whole career and i'll every great act
OF his fife. and in his death. and the
long suffering which preceded it. His
was an august personality. He had
rot only elevation of character, but
the power of e~levating others-not
merely those with whom he came in
contact. but the public life in which
he bore so great Il part. The house
Of commons. which yielded to him as
to no other. the audiences he addressed,
the nation. the empire he ruled-all
rose with him to Il higher level. He
had ii sustained dignity of character
and conduct in all circumstances. His
nature was a profoundly religious ma
tire. ard with his religious convictions
mingled a chivaIry which was perhaps
rarer still. Passion he had-an in
~tcnsity of passion when he was reused
or opposed which burned and con
Sumed what stood ia his way. 1t was
t,is passiornte and emotional quality
which stood him in such stead as an
orator. But he was greater than his
oratOry, greater than his deeds. 1t is
not what he did. but what he was,
which was felt most deeply and will
be longest remembered. Gladstone the
man. the extraordinary being who, for
mor than Go years. fascinated the
world in which he lived. overmastered
it. compelled other men to do his will
because he was a greater force than
they. because he had qualities they had
not. because he was of other fiber,
of other mold. Of loftier. broader.
uobler nature than almost any of his
tinIe--that is the Gladstone before
whom the world has bowed. 1t is the
Gladstone whose memory his country
men and ours in all time to come will
treasure as a possession like none
other.
