Enabled Great Statesman TO Conquer
Physical Weakness.

Gladstone fables are rather
GUS. A good many Of them are demol'
ished In Mr.. Morley's Life. The world
used to rear that he never lost his
power of sleeping after the most ex-
citing nights in Parliament. But In
his diary for 1852 he writes: Nervous
excitement kept me wakeful after
speaking. the first time for many
years" Twenty years later he had
several spells Of sleeplessness. He
Enthusiastically explains that 1t was
not the lack of sleep that troubled him
hut the consequent state of his brain
next morning. At other times he vas
afflicted with neuralgia attacks. His
eyes magnificent 20 look att were
never very strong. h Life, more
over, supplies abundant proof OF his
possession of a vital force not to be
measured by any physical standard.
He could conquer weakness by indom-
table will. and indulge in feats OF en-
durance which would have been dan
gerous but for his splendid powers OF
~recuperation. When greatly troubled
he seems to have found the relief bq
required In talking 1t all over with
Catherine" his devoted wife.

stamp has almost come to a close. The
remark has been made that the cause

father Of our country as one who pos

HEED THE MACEDONIAN CRY
Russia, Austria and other Powers TAX
ing Steps to Prevent Outrages.

Russia, Austria and other Powers Tak-
ing steps to Prevent O%uirages.
Negotiations begun by the powers
may result in an international admins
tration for Macedonia along the lines
observed in the present government of
the island of Crete, says a London dis
patch.
The Association press learns that in
order to prevent another Macedonian
uprising in the spring, attended by un-
s%peakable horrors, ard the danger of a
war between Turkey and Bulgaria as
a consequence. Russia and Austria
have proposed to the other powers that
immediate steps be taken to put into
operation q plan which in its general
outline resembles that now enforced
in Crete. This proposal is the result
of the acceptance in principle by the
sultan three days ago OF the Russia
Austrian note concerning reforms in
Macedonia, which was submitted to- the
porte after the recent conference be-
tween Szar Nicholas and Emperor
Francis Joseph.
This proposal of the European
powers d~issipates the apprehension
which has prevailed in diplomatic cir
cles on the continent that Russia and
Austria were arranging a settlement OF
the Macedonian question in a way to
insure their own interest.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by the Association press the
powers will. this time, unite in the APP
pointment OF a Christian governor Of
Macedonia. While It is intended that
the Christians shall be protected, there
is also a determination that equal pro-
lection shall be accorded the Mussul-

Offering prayer in the schools on the

Decrease of 10000 In IOwa's Child Crop
The report of State Superintendent
Barrett shows a decrease of 10000 in
the number Of school children in Iowa
since the 1902 enrolment. The record
shows the 1908 enrolment to he $50, POP
as against $50. ia for 1902. The high
mark was reached In 1900, when $780,
600 pupils were enrolled In Iowa
schools. State Superintendent Barrett
explains this decrease by holding that
large families are unpopular among
the educated classes. The decrease is
also attributed to immigration OF fami-
