Didnr Fool the "shndow."

Inspector Conquest tells many enter
timing anecdotes Of his relations with
Mr.. Gladstone, whom he was specially
told off to shadow" during the trou-
blous times of 1881. The premier, who,
as is well known, chafed under the
vigilant supervision to which he was
subjected, was fertile in expedients to
get rid Of the detective. Upon one occa-
sion he attempted particularly in
genious ruse. Entering club, of which
he was a member. he persuaded q
friend Of about his own build to walk
out wearing his unmistakable hat and
oyercoat and carrying his umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone hoped, of course, that
his unwelcome attendant might be mis-
led in the dusk of an autumn evening
and thus allow an opportunity to es-
cnpe.
The astute detective saw the familiar
garments leaving the club, but was not
deceived as to the identity of their
wearer. Gait is one of the most diff
cult things in the world to initiate, and
Mr.. Gladstone's was intensely charac-
tertsti9. Inspector Conquest simply
walked up to the wearer Of borrowed
plumes, administered his most profess
sional tap on the shoulder and said, II

club with another gentleman's proper

why We Begin with Soup.

The rationale Of the initial soup has
often been discussed. Some regard it
as calculated to diminish digestive
power on the theory that so much fluid
taken at first dilutes the gastric juices.
But there appears to be no foundation
for this belief. A clear soup disap-
pears almost Immediately after enter
ing the stomach and in no way inter-
feres with gastric juice, which is stor-
ed in its appropriate cells ready for ac-
ton. The habit of commencing dinner
with soup has without doubt It's origin
In the fact that allment in this fluid
form-in fact, already digested-soon
enters the blood and rapidly refreshes
the hungry man, who. after consid-
cradle fast and much activity, sits
down with sense Of exhaustion to
commence his principal meal.
In two or three minutes after he has
taken plate Of good warm soup the
feeling of exhaustion disappears. and
irritability gives way to a gradual ris-
ing sense Of good fellowship with the
circle. The soup introduces ut once
into the system small installment of
ready digested food and saves the
short period of time which must be
spent by the stomach In deriving some
nutriment from solid aliment, as well
US indirectly strengthening the organ
Of digestion itself for its Forthcoming
duties.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

BY this time the telescope man had

Congressman sulzer's Plea for the
Beers.


Congressman Sulzer's Plea for the
Beers.
Congressman Sulzer, of New York,
made an eloquent plea in the House of
Representatives last Wednesday in ia.
vor of extending the official sympathy
of this government to the Beers.
Among other things he said:
"As an American citizen and repre-.
sentative in congress am not ashamed
to have 1t known that my sympathy is
now, always has been, and always will
be, with the heroic Beers in their mag
nlhcent struggle to maintain their free.
dom and their independence against the
piracy of the corrupt oligarcy now con-
trolling the policy of the British en-
pire.
"Wesymphathized with Poland with
Hungary-with Greece-with all the
South American Republics-with Ar
menia, and with Cuba, in their struggles
for freedom. Why, ask, should we
now refuse to render moral support
our sympathy and our aid-to the pa.
trlots of South Africa? Is the great
light OF the republic going out? Is
American sentiment dead?
every friend of liberty the world
over should fervently pray that Dom
Paul may be successful. The admin
istration will do nothing for the Beers
and seems to be secretly in sympathy
with Great Britain, and rendering her
all the aid it can. Every liberty loving
citizen of the republic should denounce
and condemn these pro-English ten
denices of tho White House. This re-
public should stand by republics not
against them. God bless the embattled
farmers of South Africa, is my fewenl
prayer, and from the ashes of the con-
flict may there arise greater and
grsnder republic, the glorious United
States of South Africa"
