There was a good deal Of truth In the
saying that England drlfted into the
Crimean war without knowing exactly
why il did so. Not less accurate was
Lord Palmerston's familiar declara-
ton concerning the Sleswick-Holsteln
troubles. Only three men In Europe,
he said. ever knew what those war
making troubles were. Two or the
men died before the war broke out
and the third forgot what was the
point In dispute. A sighting refer
ence by Frederick the Great to Nine.
Pompadour was one Of the exciting
causes OF the Seven Years war. An
overturned glass Of water was one Of
the contributing elements to another.
The omission Of O simple "etc." was
the peg upon which an earlier one was
hung. The theft Of lady's petticoat
brought Moors and Spaniards to blood
shed. The smashing OF mandarin's
teapot was the basis Of war between
the imperial forces Of China and hill

There is an old anecdote OF Alexan.
der Pope concerning one OF the old
watermen who was employed for many
years in rowing Pope on the Thames.
Pope was In the habit OF having his
sedan chair lifted into the punt. II
the weather was fine. he let down the
glasses; II cold, he pulled them up. He
would sometimes say to the water
man;
John. am going to repeat some
verses Take care and remember them
the next time | go out"
When that time came, Pope would
say:
John, where are the verses told
you off"
II have forgotten them. SIR
John, You are blockhead, ! must
write them down for YOU"
John says that no one thought Of
saying, when speaking of him, Mr..
Pope" but that he was always called
MFR. Alexander"
