GLADSTONE'S CORRECTNESS
The Grand Old Man Was on All 90
casiOns the Essence of
Propriety.

Gladstone had a horror of indelicS-
cies of all kinds much like that of Gen.
Grant. 1t was often said in England to
a person who had told an anecdote with
ever so slight tinge of impropriety,
How many thousands of pounds would
you take 10 tell that to Gladstone2"
Again, he had a rooted aversion to
profiting, directly or indirectly, by his
public opportunities. He was an inno-
vating finance minister. Constantly
was his active intelligence rearranging

fortune; yet no man ever got it. NO
mysterious secrets were ever offered
for sale, as coming from him." it 10
written of him, sin exchange or bourse
Squint suspicion asserted many incred-
ible things of him, but the most wan
ton slanderer never dared suggest that
anyone in his encourage or intimacy
ever protited penny by look, a lisp,
gesture from him when in office"
He would never allow his name to be
used in any business enterprises. In
the house of commons whenannounce-
ment of his death was made Sir Will
liam Harcourt choked and could not
finish his speech. "Of all Chiefs" he
said, emphatically, che was the most
hind, the most tolerant, the most placa-
ble." In the house of lords, too, where
Lord Rosebery made a passing refer
ence to Mr.. Gladstone's last letter,
penned with almost dying hands, to
Lady Salisbury, expressing his per
sonal sympathy after the carriage acci-
dent to Lord Salisbury, the premier
himself, bowed with age and many bur-
deps, wept like child. AS one news
paper well says: "!Such tears give salt
to public life in England" Mr.. Bal
four, who was an intimate and admir-
ing friend of Gladstone's, though his
political foe, personally induced Mrs
Gladstone to allow her husband to be
buried among England's great ones at
Westminster. His body will therefore

ner," and in etfgy, as in life, Mr.. Glad

ical antagonist.-Troy Times.

gave me start to recognize Scammell, in
the full uniform of a captain in DE Lancy' s
marauding tories. He threw quick glance
about him, taking in the angry belligerent
and his friend, who had picked himself up
and was standing at a safe distance with
his blade in his hand, as though waiting a
favorable opportunity to rush in and take
a part in the muss. Though fell under the

Immediately claimed the attention of my op-

Have you not had lessons enough in your
own set that you must fall afoul of pot

THAT villain has dared lay his hand on
me-, and, by Cod he's bound to pay the
penalty" burst out Belden, for the first
time finding his voice.

elbow. Faith, you look as though odds
