Cursor S Reply.

Lord Curzon has been long noted for
his cutting and cold remarks. Some
years ago, says the railway official
who tells the story, Lord CurZon came
down from London by what was then
the London, Chatham and Dover Rail-
way. to address a political meeting at
one OF the Kent coast resorts. Lord
Curzon was in a hurry. The train made
its twenty miles an hour all right, but
the future Viceroy thought it the slow
est train on earth. He said so to the
guard. That dignitary. as usual, took
the remark as a person insult.
"If you don't like the speed of this
train, mister" he said, you can get
out and walk!"
Lord Curzon was not crushed. Tart

there is little use in trying to save it.
He might as well go to one place as
another. and it makes no difference
whether he goes into a fight or keeps
out of it. He travels the line of least
resistance and from this develops a
blind but often unintelligent obedience.
