Wanted to Warn Him.

Sir Algernon West tells this story in
his "Recollections:" One day the late
Sir George Campbell, who had a very
strident, loud, rasping voice, called on
Sir Algernon, who was then secretary
to Mr.. Gladstone, to talk over the land
question.
After he had been in conversation
about three minutes the office keeper
appeared, bearing the card of an NJ. p
who, he said, was very anxious to see
Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of q well
known peer who was most deSirous to
have n word with him. Again the lat
ter said he was too busy to see him
just then. In another minute the man
again came in with huge card saying
the lord mayor and sheriffs of London
wanted to speak TO Sir Algernon West
very urgently in the next room.
Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George
and went out to such great dignitaries.
When he got out of the room, the office
keeper startled him by saying, There
amt nobody here, sir, but was afraid
a madman had been shown in to you
by mistake, and 1 wanted to warn you,
sir"
