DISRAELI AND GLADSTONE.

That Disraeli wit was too much for
Gladstone. The great liberal had
but one adjective for his Tory oppo-
nent and that was "devilish." Never
during the years of their opposing
leadership had the two any social re-
lations; each made light of the others
literary efforts. Some one asked Lord
Beaconfield to define the difference
between a misfortune and a calamity,
and unhesitatingly it came: III Glad
stone should fall into the Thames It
would be a misfortune. If any one
should pull him out 1t would be a
calamity"
The best of all the Gladstone Dis
raeli stories tells how once at a Lon
don dinner party the ladies at the ta-
BILE were asked which they would
marry If they had to marry one or the
other-the great liberal or the great
tory. All declared promptly i'm fa-
vor of Beaconsfleld save one, who
hastened to explain that she had
rather wed Gladstone that she might
elope with Disraeli and so break heI
husbands heart. This happening was
of course retold to Disraeli and SC
pleased was he over 1t that he sus.
pended a cabinet debate on the
chances of continental war in order
to relate it.-Warwick James Price ir

way rate bill Mr.. Chandler regards
the bill as moderate and urges its pas
sage at once.
Mr.. Chandler. however. it has been
seen, is not as influential at Washing

railway. That distinguished trust mag
nate visited Washington the other day
and il was announced Immediately
thereafter that President Roosevelt and
the senate had decided 10 drop the rail
road rate question for the present In
that connection it was stated that re

rail manufacturers with a rate that
gave them the opportunity to supply

can afford to carry steel rails to Ore
