MODESTY OF THE GREAT.
Gladstone and Darwin Felt Them

In studies In Contemporary Biogra.
ply" by James Bryce, there occur two
Etories which caused some of the critics
10 express establishment ut the mod
csty of the great" The stories are
these:
Meeting Mr.. Gladstone In the lobby
and seeing his face saddcned by the
troubles In Ireland, Mr.. Bryce tried TO
divert his thoughts by mentioning a
recent discovery to Wit TINT Dante
had been saved from want In his Inst
years by lecturcship ut Ruyenna. Mr..
Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said, How strange 1t is 10 think that
these great souls whose works are II
beacon light to all the generations that
have come after them, should have had
cares and anXieties TO vex them In their
daily life Just like the rest OF us com
mon mortals"

author, that few days before l had

the pleasure II visit paid by Mr.. Glad
stone had given him. sny, And he talk

person Ike one of ourselves The two
men We're alike unconscious of their

II Is only the little who think them
selves great They are Hike those who

aginc that there is not much to know.
The great do not think themselves so,
just us the learned ARE overwhelmed by

times destroyed alike by Jews, Assyr-

Turks, 1t was to Yafa that Hiram,
king of Tyre, sent the cedar wood Sin

to Jerusalem for Solomon's temple.
Jonah sailed from this little town to

all nations were acceptable before
