GLADSTONE'S READY WIT.
4 Few Instances In Which IIe Downed
the Opposition.

y rev INSTANCES In Wh1oh Ho DoWno0
I the Opposition.
Mr.. Gladstone was once the victim
Of reporters curious error, either in
reporting or telegraphing, which was
that where in a celebrated speech he
declared, I'VE have burned our boats
and destroyed our bridges" he must
have been Mortified to read, "We have
burned our boots and destroyed our
breeches." The noted phrase Time is
on our side" was rendered In one re-
port as Tim is on our side"
I'VE are very proud of our trees"
said Mr.. Gladstone once to party Of
excursionists from Lancashire, "and
are therefore getting anxious, as the
beech has already shown symptoms OF
decay. We set great store by our
trees" "Why, then," roared a Lam
cashire lad, do you cut 'em down as
you do?" 1--WE cut down that we may
improve. We remove rottenness that
we may restore health by letting in air
and light. AS a good Liberal, you
ought to understand that" Lancashire
set up roar of delight, and the dis
comforted interrogator came in for
many fieer from his companions.
Mr.. Gladstone dearly loved joke,
even at his own expense, and he pos
sessed considerable mimetic powers.
He was once guilty Of an amusing bull
in debate on the question of disestab-
lishment. Dlating on the hold held
on the affections Of the people by the
Church Of England, he said: when
an Englishman wants to get married.
to whom does he 60? To the parish
priest. When he wants his child bap-
tized, to whom does he got To the
parish priest. When he wants to get
buried. to whom does he go?" The
House answered with roar Of laugh
ter, in which Mr. Gladstone himself
Joined, adding, "As was contrasting
the English Church with the Irish. q
bull Is perhaps excusable. 1,
On one occasion two gentlemen, in~
vited as guests at table where Mr..
Gladstone was expected, made a wager
that they would start a conversation
on a subject about which even Mr..
Gladstone would know nothing. To
accomplish this end they read up an
ancient magazine article on some unfa-
miliar subject connected with Chinese
manufactures. When the favorable
opportunity came the topic was started,
and the two conspirators watched with
amusement the growing interest in the
subject which Mr.. Gladstone's face be-
trayed. Finally he Joined in the con-
versation, and their amusement was
turned into gnashing of teeth-to speak
flguratively-when Mr.. Gladstone said.
"Ah, gentlemen. perceive you have
been reading an article I wrote in the
Magazine some thirty or forty
years ago."

Gave Her Husband for Cuba.

A touching little story is told of MIRA
Waldeck. wife of Captain William A.
H. Waldeck, OF the Seventh. United

munes. Captain Waldeck was for
eighteen years with Hollands army In
the East Indies. Eight years ago he
was given leave Of absence by his gov
ernment, and he spent some Of his play
time In a trip through America. AT
Detroit he met Miss Amelia Theresa
Cousins, who subsequently became his
wife. Before accepting him Miss Cous-
ips made 1t O condition Of their mar
riage that he should leave the army.
He complied with the condition, and
became an American. When the war
with Spain broke out the desire to
return to his old profession of war
and to serve his adopted country be-
came very strong, and his wife did
not oppose his wishes.
Mrs. Waldeek accompanied her''hus-
band to Washington to procure bis

colonel, said: Colonel Goodwin, was

and let him follow his old profession
as a soldier. I only hope that I shall

"A PECULIAR "a! ISLAND
MONEY HAS No VALUE IN LONELY
TRISTAN E'AoUNHA.

IT. Queer Old Governor and the Rssssn Of

S44ple Who Know Nothing of the Out
alas Merld.
Did ysu ever hear of q place where
noRet was useless? Well. there is such
q place. 1t Is the island OF Tristan
d'Aounha. in the South Atlantic, about
midway between the Cape OF Good
Nepe and the South American coast.
But yau mustn't jump to the conclusion
that money has no value there because
the island is uninhabited. 1t has
population OF sixty-four. and is the
tiniSst OF Great Britain's many small
colonies.
Once a year the British government
sends Of ship to the island. Just
why this should be done Is not quite
clear. "A yearly mail service Is quite
unnecessary, for although the sixty
four inhabitants are British subjects
they never receive any mail. They
lead solitary existence, knowing
nothing Of the great world beyond their
shores and caring less.
Some time ago, for some reason OF
other, the King of Italy sent donation
OF two hundred dollars for distribution
among the inhabitants. A gentleman
named Cane, who had visited the is
land. commenting on this fact, wrote .
