NEW SHORT STORIES
I Gladstone AnecdOte.

The sarcastic cheer Ia very common,
and l recall one fatal example Of its
use. Mr.. Gladstone was once drawing
very remarkable conclusions from
some figures. an art in which he was
an unapproached master. A member
on the other side laughed ont Hear,
hearv' ironically. Gladstone stopped
Instantly and turned and looked with
interest at the interrupter, who as
suredly would at that moment have
given good deal to recall his words
Then he turned back to the speaker
''Eir," he said. 1.-The honorable gentle
man laughs" For minute or two he
quoted from memory LONG string OF
figures proving the accuracy Of what ne
had previously said. The next time
the honorable member laughs he CON
tnued in honeyed tones, Il would au-
wise him-I would venture 70 counsr!
him-to ornament his laugh to &c ~
rate it--with an idea. "--Henry Nornan
