sALIsBURY's POOR MEMORY,
Late Prime Minister Lived World
Apart.

From the Review Of Reviews
Whatever may be the cause, there is no
mistaking the fact that Mr. Balfour's sue
cession to the premiership has occasioned
less stir than many political incidents of
much less Importance Mr. Gladstone lived
ever in the public eye. Week days and Sun
days he was always doing or saying some
thing which afforded material for news
paper comment. The public took the keen
est interest In his books, In his porcelain, in
his cutting down trees at Hawarden, in his
reading the services at the parish church.
He was performer always in the glare of
the footlights, whether in office or out of
1T. Lord Salisbury lived in comparative Sc
clusion. II he did not direct the affairs of
a worldwide empire from a hermitage he
governed 1t from Hatfield, and often for
weeks together he would never leave his
retreat, even for the purpose Of meeting
the diplomatic representatives Of other
powers at the foreign Office.
The Cecils are a world unto themselves
and If Lord Salisbury may not be exactly
said to be one of those world-forgetting
mortals by the world forgot, he lived and
lives apart. OF late years his memory
failed him. not for facts SO much as for
faces. and all manner Of odd stories are
current as to the mistakes which he made
owing to his inability to distinguish be-
tween individuals.
who was invited to spend a week end in a
family party at Hatfield, Is said to have
been mistaken by the late prime minister
for Lord Roberts. The delusion was SO COM
plete that after opening the conversation
at the dinner table, he carried his aston
fshed guest off into the library and Insisted
upon learning from his uninstructed lips ex-
actly what he thought of the campaign in
Africa. "Tell me- so the story goes, tell
me- he said to the flattered but bewildered
wine merchant, what you really think of
the war in South Africa. Will Lord, Kitch-
ener make as great a mess of it as all our
other generals?'
The good man rose to the situation. and
was rewarded by being anxiously asked by
the prime minister what he would DO If he
were in South Africa at that moment. 1t
was not until the following day that the
guest was aware of the reason for the
strange soiicitude which the prime minister
had shown for his opinion upon military
tactics.
On another occasion he is said to have
asked who that remarkably intelligent
young man was with whom he had lust
been transacting business. TT is one of
your private secretaries" was the reply
When man forgets the face of private
secretary and sconfounds wine merchants
with commanders-in-chief. it is not sur
prising that he should find the time had
come for his departure.

,Washington's Many Pews.
from the Petersburg Index-Appeal.

From the Petersburg Index-Appeal.
1t is hardly conceivable that George
Washington could have remained the rich
est man In America had he paid rent for
all the church pews accredited to him.
Scarcely a village that had a church In
his day but points with pride now to the
Washington family pew. 1t is true, how
ever, that he had much need of the invo-
cation Of spiritual grace, for when. he lost
control of a temper, never very mild, az
he did at Trenton and other places, he was
quite capable of swearing voiley of good,
round oaths
BY the way, is man morally responsible
for profanity, say, occasioned under stress
of great excitement. such as may occur
while commanding troops In battis? One
of the purest and most devout rnen we
ever knew was Baptist deacon who was
a lieutenant colonel in the civil war, who
always went into battle praying ami who
prayed fervently when the battle was over,
but who lost his religion absolutely while
the battle was on. and would swear as loud
and as f1ercely as any trooper in Flanders
the mans sincerity could not be question:
ed, for most men prayed where he stopped
praying and stopped praying where he
started.

THE DEADLY RESORTS.
Typhoid Fever May Often Be Laid at
Their Door

From the Atlanta Journal
There Is now. as there Is every year at
this season. an alarming prevalence Of ty-
phoid fever. This dread disease is now not
only more prevalent than usual, but seems
to be more virulent and fatal than we usu-
ally find 1t.
We have now advanced and supported
by apparently good evidence that the IN
crease Of this fearful malady is directly
.traceable to the summer resorts which our
people visit in the search of recreation and
health
Paradoxical as It seems. there Is good rea-
SON to believe that typhoid fever Is contract
ed and spread very largely by residence at
our popular health resorts.
A Philadelphia physician who has made
special study Of this disease says In a
recent interview:
ut has been proved by medical testimony
and Is now conceded that the majority, IL
not all. have spent their vacations In the
rural districts. The ordinary farm house
harbors more germs to the square Inch than
one can shake stick at and the average
old-fashioned hotel has no better accommo-
cations than the average farm house. Prac-
teal sanitation is all Greek to the farmer
and the hotel man alike. The latest mod
ern improvements in the way of baths ana
closets, drainage, ventilation and disnfect-
ants are as a sealed book, or are seen at
best as through glass darkly. There were
one or two panics in the mountains during
the summer because of epidemcs Of ty-
phoid. and as the people are coming home
in great numbers doubtless typhoid will
break out in town to greater or less ex-
tent. There are several cases being treated
now that were brought back by confiding
people who went to antlquated, germ-infest-
g. resorts that boast of their old fashioned,
home-like' attractions. These old-fashioned,
home-like, dangerous ruins ought to be sub
tect to inspection and licensing by the state
board of health. Not only do many of them
reek with typhoid germs, but are beset with
the dust, dirt, dampness and gloom that are
such fearful Geological factors in tuber
culosis
THE summer resort in the wilds of the
rural regions has been touted 'ad nauseam.'
Ideally 1t is the place where falling health
Is restored and tagging vigor exhiarated.
but 1T does seem that 1t is one of the nests
Of typhoid and other fevers which are espe-
cially fatal.
''As rule ones own home will be found
more comfortable and much more healthful
In the resort season than the resorts
themselves

PLENTY OF SNAKES.
Found Real Live Specimens in His
Boots,

New Orleans TimesDemecrat
"On at least one occasion had snakes In
my boots" said the man with the red nose.
"and 1t was no wild delirious fancy either.
The snakes were genuine. They were very
much alive. could crawl. and did crawl.
and they had eyes and fangs and forked
tongues and all the other things which go
with well-made and complete member Of
the reptilian species. I had gone out on a
fishing trip with some friends up in Arkan-
sas and we were quartered in a tent on
one Of the best lakes In the southeastern
section Of the state It was during the hot
season. L never saw SO many snakes In all
my life as we founr around that lake, and
they were of all sizes, shapes and colors. The
heat was so intense-it was during a severe
drouth of 1SS1-that all the snakes of that
section gathered around the lake in an ef-
fort. no doubt. to keep cool. They would
slip down to the waters edge. burrow in the
mud and cut other curious capers because
OF the prevailing drouth. Late in the even
ing they would take whirl at swimming,
wriggling out into the lake for some dis
lance. and then pull back to the shore
again. mention these facts merely to
show that snakes were plentiful in that
section. The heat had made them desper-
ate but we. never anticipated any trouble
from this source
I'VE pitched our tent at the head of the
lake and were inclined to gloat somewhat
over the splendid location we had secured
and the coziness of our surroundings gen.
orally. OF course. we had the usual guam.
tity of stimulating things which belong to
a first-class fishing outfit, and, to tell the
truth about the matter, I had been pulling
away at the jug and popping beer bottles
until I was just little shaky. After we
had been out about a week / began to see
things that a man under ordinary circumo
stances could not see. I just in this
condition one morning when 1 rolled out Of
NY cot to begin the days sport The sun
had been up for some time My boots were
standing beside the cot where I had put
them the night before. In throwing my
legs over the side of the cot knocked both
boots over. You can guess how I felt when
two or three snakes wriggled out of my
boots. I simply went up in the air. My
nerves were in no condition to be tempered
with. I couldn't get out of the cot and
couldn't stay in 1t. l simply felt like melt
ing into thin air. One of my friends witt
messed the whole thing although 1 didn't
known it at the time. I was ashamed to
say anything about the snakes until he
brought the question up. Finally he said
something about the snakes that had spent
the night in my boots, and I'll swear to
you that never felt better in my life. for
up to that time I was very much in doubt
about the genuineness of the vision. I was
glad to know that the snakes were real live
snakes"
