 This 1t seems to me, Is as good a specimen as any of Actons power of characterization. We who know Ed mond Scherer as after Sainte Beuve, the solidest of French critics. who have laughed at the worry he caused that dull but estimable Scot, Prof. Saints bury, are sure to find in Acton's words just the needed thing for the compre- hension of that expatriated man, self expatriated from country and religion
 The next name of importance we en- counter Is that of Burke. Acton is tell ing Mrs. Drew of Burkes address to the Electors of Bristol I wish one might truthfully say every school boy knows Burke's Bristol address. They do not. however, and some public men are regretfully ignorant of them. Ac- ton says of them: They are an epoch in constitutional history. Burke there laid down for ever, the law of the re- lations between members and constit- uencies, which Is the innermost bar rier against the reign of Democratic force. Charles Sumner once said to me: Mrs Burke legislated from those hustings"
 He takes a glance at Renan. calls him an arch person and tells his cor respondent she will find his conversa- tion, easy and tripping as 1t is. very in- ferior to his writings.

It is hard in a few crowded lines to explain my meaning on a question so fundamental The great object in trying to understand history, political, religious, literary or scientific, Is to get behind men and to grasp ideas.

This memoir makes one un- derstand why its author is deemed one of the cleVerest of the young lions

Towebb, the Ballol master, used to advise his young men to leave off the portico in writing. It is good advice for old and young. It has been fol- lowed by me in the spirit with which Goethe always gave counsel, namely on condition his counsel should not be observed. These letters are wonder fully entertaining. I turned immedi- ately to the index after I got the book in hand and discovered there such an array Of names of men and women about whom I wished actors judgment or the further insight into their lives Acton's letters might furnish. that deposited the volume with a pretense Of ceremony against tree under which sat, and looked steadily at it.

A Week Of
 Wonderful Values

Two factors enter into the combination of circumstances which enable US to place be- fore Montgomery shoppers tomorrow what is undoubtedly The Most Important List of Extra Values the Entire Season Has Pro dueed. FirsI: the retiring from business of six million dollar New York jobbing house and the consequent sudden throwing on the market of their entire stock, has tended to re- duce wholesale prices as never before and our commissioners have shipped us by fast express gathering of special "good things" that have even surprised US with their Price Lowness Second: the late arrival of Sum mer weather has made imperative the Deep Cutting of all the prices on our splendid stock.
 How tremendously these factors have worked in the interest of household economy can be seen by reading this list of Extra Val ues advertised for tomorrow. Do not miss single one, as all are equally important.

GENEROSITY A-PLENTY

Tne salvation Army in San Fran
cisco, as in all other parts of the world
Where IT is quartered, is again busy at
TINS season arranging to give its an
nual public Christmas dinner. This will
take place in the banquet room of the
ODD Fellows building, Seventh and
Market streets. The number in this
city which has usually taken ad-
vantage Of the philanthropic offering
mas been in the neighborhood of 1900,
ana preparations are making to enter
tain that many this year.
Six years ago 10000 of the poor of the
United States were invited to the
christmas feast and $4,000 accepted.
Ine result on that occasion led the
army TO increase the invitations the
following year to 100000. A year later
2OO,OoO were invited. Last year the
total reached about 100000.
The dinners are given by two meth
ods- FIRST, by the distribution of we'll
filled baskets of uncooked food, con-
tanning ample provisions of great va
riety for family Of five; second, by
the gathering OF the invited poor about
a well-loaded table, as will be the case
on Christmas day at Odd Fellows Hall.
IL many cities where the climate is
particularly severe the poor are further
benefited by receiving gifts OF warm
clothing.
The basket dinner meets those cases
where the unfortunate ones, known to
to be thoroughly deserving. are un-
willing to take part in a public dinner,
where they would be regarded as OBJ
jects of charity. Recipients of the bas
ket dinners are selected by means of
careful canvass, the families being Wis
tied in their homes and recommended
either by the army's officers or by
ization.
The army's Christmas dinner is now
an established institution, which COM
mands the sympathy of the generous
public. All classes have been generous
in response to the appeals Of the Sal
walton Army, and it has been found
that t,even children of the public schools
have taken so deep an interest in the
