Nephew of the Retiring
Government Chief

The nephew succeeds the uncle, for
Arthur Ja7.es Balfour, incoming pre-
mier Of England. bears that relation

goes out cheerfully 10 resume his
beloved studies Of chemistry in the
laboratories of his great house near
St. Adams.
When Arthur Balfour was at Cam
bridge he got the name of Aunt
Fanny" but he has lived it down.
There is nothing effeminate in the
character Of Arthur Balfour who to-
day steps into one of the first admin
istcative positions in the world.
He was born IN Scotland July 25,
1S4s, and is the eldest son Of the late
James Maitland Balfour and Lady
Blanche Gascoigne Cecil. sister Of the
present marquis Of Salisbury. He
practically began his political life as
private secretary TO his uncle when
the marquis Was secretary of state for
foreign affairs. One-thirG Of his a
wears have been spent in political serv-
ice. that service finally bringing him
into the position Of conservative lead
er Of the house of-commons. Ever
since he was first elected to parlia-
meut in 1874 he has been close 10 the
person and deep in the counsels Of
Lord Salisbury. He is popular in
many sections Of the empire, and ad-
mired where he Is not popular.
He was selected for the chief Sec
retaryship of Ireland because "he had
the hardest head. the steadiest nerve,
and the strongest hand" for the po-
sition His seIf-possession is de
scribed as ''indomitable and ever Wig
liant" The conservatives hold 10 him
because he is an "aristocrat to his
finger tips" and that kind Of aris-
tocracy is quite popular in England at
the present time.

tee and one that came very near be-

other day to . Washington Post man,
occurred several years ago. ] was
then employed in a large department
store IL Washington. One day dur
ing the winter holiday season d we'll
dressed WOmau entered the store
carrying = muff and umbrella. As
she passed by the leather goods de-
partmenJ / saw her skillfulIy 'swipe'

her to the elevator. and on up to the
third floor. On the way up she dis
covered that / was following her. and
when she left the elevator She man
aged, without my seeing her, to
place the pocketbook that she had
stolen between two boxes on the doll
counter. This however, / failed TO
notice, and when she came down
stairs | told the proprietor in her
hearing that she had stolen pocket
book.
The proprietor looked at me hor-
ror-stricken, while the lady, turning
about, demanded to know what l
had said. 1 was so certain of my
ground that l repeated the accusa-
tion. whereupon the proprietor said:
"'Oh, no, you're mistaken. This
lady and her husband are friends of

orders to the fioorwalker TO tele-
phone for her husband, and insisted
on being searched.
Things were looking pretty squally
for me. when a thing happened that
changed the complexion of events
very materially. | noticed that she
had shifted the position of her hands
in her mutf several times. and that
she had also placed her umbrella
leaning against the counter, and
thinking that she might have slipped
the pocketbook down into the latter,
/, without saying a word, reached
over, picked up the umbrella and
turned it upside down. The pocket
book did not drop out as l had ex-
pected, but, what was better still,
eight pairs of kid gloves, from which
the tags had never been removed,
rolled out upon the floor. They were
not taken from nor did they belong
IN our store, but from the tags l
recognized them as belonging in an
other establishment which dealt in
gloves next door.
al was beginning by this time to
catch on, and without losing any
time went for the proprietor of
the store next door. He came in,
identified the gloves, and stated that
the lady had been in his store, but
that she made no purchases. At this
time she broke down and began TO
cry, and, desiring TO clinch matters
all around, l made a hurried trip up
to the third floor, looked over the
doll counter, found the pOcketbook
she had stolen, and brought it back
in triumph.
"It turned out that her husband
was a wealthy man, and could have
purchased her almost anything she
needed. She broke down completely,
confessed that she was a kleptO-
maniac. and that she could not re-

next stopping station that another
lady got in, and again he arose and
offered her the seat. hiding certain
feelings behind smile.
Then the seat between the two
young ladies became vacant, and. with
a sigh of satisfaction, the old gentle
man occupied it, saying, sottO vOee,

The first young lady started quickly
and turned to him: 81 beg your par

The old gentleman paused a moment
before replying. Il mean, of course,

smiled her triumph.
Then there entered a somewhat
masculinely attired lady, who fixed her
penetrating eyes on the old gentle
man. He turned TO the young lady
and said: This has no reference to

offered his seat to the incOmer.

Lord Salisbury looks back on a po-
Iitical career of more than half CEN
tuTy.
In 1853, when only % years old. he
was elected to parliament as member
for Stamford. and represented the
borough for Is years. He took an
active part in all public measures
which affected the interests of the
established church and the chief po-
litical questions of the day. In his
younger days Lord Salisbury was a
frequent contributor to the Quarterly
Review and kindred periodicals.
In 1866 he was appointed secretary
OF state for India, which post he re-
signed in 1867 on account Of a differ
ence of opinion respecting the reform
bill. Two years later ne was elected
chancellor of the University of Ok
ford in succession TO the late earl of
Derby.
When Disraeli returned 10 Office IN
1874 Lord Salisbury was appointed sec
rotary of state for India. These two
great statesmen were the representa-
tives Of Great Britain at the congress
of Berlin in 1879. On his return the
queen invested Lord Salisbury with
the Order Of the Garter.
In 1881. after the death Of Lord
Beaconsfield, the marquis became the
leader Of the conservative party in
the house of lords. On January g

they started TO reach San Francisco
and to return without cent.
Since then they have experienced
many odd and some fascinating ad-
ventures. Much of the way they rode
on the best trains, simply inviting CON
ductorS 10 search US for money.
Some of the distance they ''Jummed"
on freights, while many miles were
covered by actual pedestrianiSm.
The cold waves throughout the val
leys Of the middle west in May has
made "hoboing" really dangerous, and
the girls say they almost froze one

brake beams of coal car, between
North Platte and Kearney. Neb.
At Omaha the tramps found await

The girls are somewhat dubious now
as to the wisdom of their actions. Said
Miss Gauss:
It's been a good experience. no
doubt, and in some practical ways
suppose we have both benefited. How
ever, it has cost me dear. My face is
now as leathery as a cowboys and my
hair is bleached to an Unlovely tint.
I'll stay home hereafter. We expected
to get passes from here to Chicago,
but failed. so will be compelled to bum
on in. But that comes easy now. Have
we walked much? Well. I've worn out

Nails that are brittle are benefited
by having almond oil thoroughly
rubbed into them and the finger ends

A good way to treat palms is to
sponge the leaves once a week with
lukewarm water to which little milk
has been added. After this the plant
should stand for two hours in luke
warm water enough to completely
cover the pot.
Silk ribbons of any color can be safe
ly washed in cold suds made with the

rinse in clear cold water, but never

mantel, table, or glass, and rub side
ways with a stiff fingernail brush until
smooth. Leave until thoroughly dry
When ironing lacealways lay piece
of soft muslin over fine lace, and never
touch it directly with the iron. Gro
chet, tatting, guipure, and Irish or
| Greek lace should not be iTOned, but
simply pinned out on well covered
board, point by point, and left till dry,
pulling it out gently with the fingers
if it seems stiff when unpinned.
The built-ip seat only increases in
, popularity as time goes on, instead OF
losing its vogue from length Of sery-
ice, as so many things do. For one
reason, ii presents such possibilities
for both large and small houses. In
the small roonss of an apartment or
fat. where a divan or colonial sofa
would be impossible, a small seat adds
much to the artistic effect and eoziness.
