Mrs. Brandeis proposed violence against
her husband, are disclosures yet TO be
made by him.
Friends OF Mrs. Brandeis and acquaint-
ances of both husband and wife say they
do not believe the charges made against
the wife On the contrary, they say
that she has been prosecuted ever since
she became the wife OF DR.. Brandeis.
Or. Brandeis himself said:

silly before you give in. That's the
only way to get on and have a good
time"
Ten years afterwards, when the boy
was working on a London newspaper.
ne mad occasion to call on Mr. Balfour
at his office in Downing street.
DO you remember buying a pro-
gramme OF me at Southwood in 1892"
he asked.
why, yes," said the statesman
and are you the boy for whom | kent
the meeting waiting? Don't you think
now that l was wise in telling Won
there was no fun in politics?'
rms is an example of Mr.. Balfour's
WONDERFUL memory Like most absent
minded men, his memory for events is
remarkably acute when they are call
ed to his attention.
A Miracle of Good Temper,
Mr.. Balfour's most striking charac-
teristic, perhaps, is his even temner
Nothing seems to ruffie him. In the
OLD Coercion days he would sit for
hours on the Treasury bench of the
House of Commons with a pleasant
smile on his face while the Irish mem
Ders were comparing him unfayora blv
10 Nero and Herod, and saying that if
they saw him in the company of Ana
Mas and Sapphire they would consid-
er MIN to be in the bosom of his fam
lily Other Conservative members
would jump up angrily and interrupt.
out the man attacked never showed a
trace or annoyance. He sat quiet and
wore the smile that won't come off. -
His friends say that only once has
Mr.. Balfour been known to show an
ger in public. Some young Tories
snowballed Mr.. Gladstone when he Wis
tied Dover during the last years of his
life. Mr.. Balfour had to address a
Tory meeting at Dover soon afterwards
and he took occasion to denounce the
cowardly outrage in unrneasured
terms. His language, usually so calm
and philosophical, became a torrent of
passionate invective, and before he fin
ished he had lost control of himself.
Il believe he would have wrung the
necks of those young fools if he
could" said the chairman of the meet
ing afterwards.
Though Mr.. Balfour has never mar
ried, his whole life and character have
been moulded by a woman-his sister,
Miss Alice Balfour. She is an accom-
plshed, high-minded woman, who
yields great influence in English polit-
| ical circles. 1t is said that Lord Sails
bury used often to ask her advice and
lean upon her judgment. Probably she
persuaded him to give her brother the
great chance of his life as Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland 1t is generally
agreed that she has kept him in politi-
cal life, conquered his natural indo-
lence and made a practical. successful
statesman out of the philosopher who
wrote two big volumes to explain that
nothing is worth worrying about oil
striving for.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-28

During a recent dull sitting of the
House of Commons several politicians
were seated in the smoking room dis
cussing one of their colleagues. He
was lazy, they said; he was utterly
impractical; he had not the faintest
chance of arriving at anything great.
Don't be so sure said an aged
statesman who had been listening to
their talk. 1T is a ticklish business to
judge men. Do you know that we used
10 say the very same things about Bal
four less than twenty years ago, and
now he is Prime Minister of Great Bri-
tain?'
In 1885 and 1886 none of US dream
ed that he would ever become a sue
cessful politician, let alone a great
statesman. AS President of the Local
Government Board and Secretary for
Scotland he had managed to miss all
his chances of doing anything remark
able. He was clever enough, but he
simply couldn't take the trouble to
work. 1t seemed to be almost too much
bother to him to live. He seldom got
out of bed before the afternoon, and
often he would not go TO his Office for
three or four days at a time. Dis
patches bored him, Parliament was a
nuisance, and the officials of his de-
partment tore their hair over his neg
lect to keep appointments and sign i'm
portant documents. They never ex-
pected him TO read them; if they could
get him to sign them a week late they
thought themselves lucky.
We'll this was the man whom Lord
Salisbury appointed Chief Secretary for
Ireland in 1SS4-one. of the stormiest
periods in the modern history of that
country. OF course, everybody ragged
and said that Salisbury had appointed
the most unfit man he could have
found in days march. simply be-
cause that man happened to be his
own nephew. The Irish members were
delighted. They thought they had got
man Of straw for their chief oppo-
nent Parnell alone saw the truth.
Don't deceive yourselves he told
his colleagues. Salisbury knows what
he is doing. There's "A great deal more

ner. M. P for Cook, used to say.
But he has such a charming way
with him that nobody can help liking
him."
That is how all Mr.. Balfour's op-
ponents feel towards him. Nobody
hits out harder than he does in de-
bate, but there is never any personal
bitterness, any malicious sting in his
remarks, as there almost always is
in Mr.. Chamber1ains. Mr.. Balfour
is one of the kindiest, most gentle
men alive. His courtesy and consid-
Grafton for others are unfailing, and
that is why he is the most popular
leader of the House of Commons In
the history of Parliament
In English society he is extremely
popular and much sought after. Years
ago dowagers used to angle for him
for their daughters. He is decidedly
eligible" in the marriage market,
being rich as wen as distinguished,
out he has never married and nobody
expects that he will. Even the most
hopeful dowagers have given him up
as a confirmed bachelor.
MIR. BaIfOur as an Athlete.
Next to his books Mr.. Balfour finds
his chief pleasures in golfng and cy-
cling. Mr.. Chamberlain has been
heard TO boast that he never takes any
other exercises than that of walking
up and down stairs. Not so his chief.
Mr.. Balfour is one of the best golfers
in the House of Commons, if not in
Great Britain. He started the annual
Parliamentary Golf Tournament, and
always stands high up in it. He used
to be captain of the Oldest and most
famous golf club in the world-the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St.
.Andrews-and is still the president
of the National Cyclists Union of
Great Britain. The head caddie on
the St. Andrews links is fond of re-
marking regretfully that a splendid
golf professional was lost in Mr.. Bal
four when he turned his attention to
craftsmanship.
MIR. BaIfOur's FOndness for Children.
When Mr.. Gladstone was alive mem
bers of the House of Commons used to
wonder whether he or Mr.. Balfour was
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-28

fonder of petting children. Although
political opponents, they were intimate
friends. Both. liked literature better
than the rough-and- tumble of politics,
and they were bound together also by
their fondness for children, especially
for Dorothy Drew, Mr.. Gladstone's pet
grandchld. In earlier years they both
petted Lady sybil Primrose, Lord
Roseberrys daughter, whom Mr.. Glad
stone nicknamed the suffrage babe"
because she was born at a time when
a Suffrage Bill was agitating Parlia-
ment.
An English writer who has met Mr..
Balfour on several occasions tells with
pleasure of the first meeting. 1t was at
a great Conservative demonstration in
a Kentish park in 1887. Mr.. Balfour
was the principal speaker, and the
writer was then a little boy selling
programmes for the good of the cause
as is the habit of the sons of Primrose
League DANES. Greatly daring, the boy
stopped Mr.. Balfour as he was walking
through the park to the platform to
make his speech, and asked him to
buy a programme. He took one and
generously paid ten times the proper
price.
! I'm glad to see you helping our
cause so young, my little man." ne said
patting the boys head. What are you
going to be when you grow up?"
I'D like to be great man in Par
lament like you, sir" the youngster re-
Slied.
Don't you!" exclaimed Mr.. Balfour,
laughing. There's no fun in it. I'd
rather be boy like you
Some of the organizers of the meet
ing came up and told Mr.. Balfour that
the people We're waiting to hear him
speak, but he waved them aside.
Cant you see I'm trying to
strengthen the faith of a young disci-
ple?" he said
Then he asked the boy all about his
home life and his schoolmates, and
gave him some sound advice on school
practice:
Don't get into more fights than you

ed: Don't hesitate to shoot!' to the
asked how they were to deal with a
riotous mob.
You all know how he has risen
since then. 1t is a good lesson to be
careful in your Judgments" concluded
the old statesman.
A Premier Who Signs For Obscurity.
Strange to say, this man who has
risen to the top of the tree in British
politics is no lover of politics. He is
a politician by family influence and
chance, not by choice. The nephew of
Lord Salisbury, Arthur ]. Balfour was
born to the purple" and destined for
Parliament from his Elton days But
his tastes are literary and academic,
not political and practical. He cares
more for the honors which have been
showered upon him by all the British
universities in recognition of his
achievements in philosophy than he
does for his political fame.
Give me my books, my golf clubs
and leisure" he once said to a friend,
''and / would ask for nothing more.
My ideal in life is to read lot, write
little, play plenty of golf and have
nothing to worry about. If l could
give up politics and retire tomorrow
without disorganizing things and neg
lecting any duty l would gladly do So
Mr.. Balfour has often said this, and
there is no doubt that he is sincere. He
is too much of philosopher to be am
bilious Entering politics more as a
social necessity than anything else. he
drifted from one office to another until
at last he reached a position in which
he had to work hard or, in his view,
leopard England's interests by neglect.
He worked hard and made good" As
a reward he was given still more inn
portant posts. which have kept him
working busily ever since.
Fearless Man.
In the strenuous Coercion" days.
when Mr.. Balfour stood in grave dan
ger Of assassination, he worried his
friends by absolutely refusing 10 take
any precautions. He would not even
allow himself TO be guarded by Sc
cret Service men. Though a previous
Chief Secretary, Lord Frederick Cav.
endish. had been murdered in Dublin
But he was constantly "shadowed
by detectives against his orders. and
he used 10 get great amusement By
trying 20 shake them OF. He did
