Premier That Has Come True.

Striking One Made BY Enoland's New
Premier That Has Come True.
Herbert Henry Asqdita, who sue
ceeded the late Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman as prime minister Of Eng
land, has been In turn a member of
parliament, a privy counselor, secre-
tary of the state home department,
ecclesiastical commissioner, chancellor
Of the excheQuer and, lastly, premier.
He is one Of the most cultured men in
the cabinet, for from his earliest days
he has been an enthusiastic student.
In his school days his one dream was
to rise to political power. He cared
for no sport His chief recreation
was reading verbatim parliamentary
reports in the newspapers. Apropos
OF this II is told how he used to bor-
row a copy of the London Times
every morning from a friendly news
agent and go out and read It. sitting
under the hedge of the cricket field,
while his schoolfellows were enjoying
games. AS a barrister he has won
BuCCcSS MuICu dAlClAOS OhlJ u very
small proportion Of those who go in
for the law, but it has been the out
come of much striving, for at first he
met with reverses on every hand. he
has said that 1t was the greatest day
of his life when he got into parlia-
ment His enthusiasm on that occa-
sion was so marked that when parlia-
ment opened he told fellow member
that one day he would be prime minis
ter and was laughed at for his pains.
AS a strong man lIr. Asquith is in
a class by himself he combines with
the fearlessness and pugnacity of
Roosevelt the taciturnity and cynicism
of Choate, the wide intellectually of
the late John Hay and the debating
ability Of Bryan. No man in British
public life can stand against him in
forensic battle. He is a lawyer by
training, the greatest lawyer in Eng
land, and he is as merciless in the
house of commons as if he were con-
Quoting a cross examination.

CHASING U. S.
COMMISSIONERS.
Experience of Two Marshals
With Prisoners.

Deputy U. S. Marshal T. j Gun
diff, of Bowling Green, arrived in
the city at noon with Ralph Suggs of
Russellville and Ed Patterson, of
Smith Grove, for trial. Both are
charged with boOtlegging Quite a
peculiar coincidence occurred in con
nection with the arrests. The or
ders of the deputy marshal are to
proceed to the nearest commissioner
for trial of a prisoner. In case the
commissioner is absent go to the
next nearest. Mr.. Cundiff went to
Bowling Green with his prisoners to
find Commissioner c. P. Motley ab-
sent. From there he went to Rus
sellville and found Commissioner G.
h. Hardy had gone to St. Loui.. He
was ready to start for Hopkinsvile,
the next nearest place, when Depu-
ty Ament, of Owensboro, arrived
from Hopklnsville with a prisoner,
saying that Commissioner Lawrence
Yonts was out of the city.
In despair they started for Owens
borO, only to find Commissioner
Lindsey had gone to French Lick.
The two marshals, with their pris-
oners, will leave for Leitchfield this
afternoon. and if Commissioner John
H. Wright can be found. the prison.
ers will have their examining trial.
This will make a total of nearly 200
miles they have travelled Ovens.

A Curious Souvenir.

A short time ago Pope Plus X. gave
an audience to a group Of distinguished
Americans. While they were convers-
ing the reverend gentleman took from
a compartment in a nearby desk a
piece Of paper and, handing it to one
of the party, said, "By the way, allow
me to present you With a little
souvenir of your visit TO Plus X"
The recipient, upon examining his
treasure, found it to be the return
coupon of railroad ticket from Venice
to Rome, says the May Bohemian. 1t
was the one purchased by Cardinal
Giuseppi Sarto to attend the meeting
of cardinals at Rome after the death
Of Leo. AS we all know. be has never
returned to Venice.

Princeton. N. J., June 25.-Gro-
yer Cleveland the last ex-President
of the United States, for many
wears has been the most distinguish
al citizen of this old college town,
He entered upon his seventy-second
year, on March Is.
While he was not actively engaged
in politics for several years, bis opin-
Son has been eagerly sought by Dem
Ocratic politicians and statesmen all
over the country and by the news
papers. For a time he was held re-
sponsible in many quarters, for the
panic of 1898, just as President
Roosevelt has been blamed for last
years financial furry, but this feel
ing has long since died out.
Mr.. Cleveland has steadily turned
deaf ear to all temptations of a
return to public office. He has
steadfastly taken the position that
any American who had been called
to the presidency has received the
highest honor in the gift of the
American people, and that to accept

to die on the same day as Thomas
Jefferson-in fact, within one hour,
and on a Fourth of July at that.
Jefferson survived twenty-five
years after the beginning Of his first
term. Madison went him two years
better, and lived twenty-seven years.
John Quincy Adams made record
of twenty-nine years; Martin Van
Buren, twenty-five; Tyler, twenty
one, and Fillmore, twenty-four.
1t is a significant fact, and one
that proves how much greater is
the strain of the office now, that
since the time of Fillmore, Grover
Cleveland is the only man who has
lived score of years after becom-
ing President of the United States.
1t has now been twenty-three
years since Cleveland was first in
augurated. Other Presidents have
survived longer than that after
taking the oath of office. John
Adams was inaugurated in 1897
Pierce lived sixteen; Buchanan, elev-
en-; Johnson, ten; Grant, sixteen;
Hayes, sixteen; Arthur, five; Harri-
son, twelve, and Mckinley, four and
a half.
His life at Princeton has been sim
pie, quiet and unostentatious. He
frequently was seen on the streets,

come soon through experience and natural self
adjustment.
A child, inspired not by spirit of restless mis-
chief but sudden sweet impulse to help her
mother, may try to water the plants in the window
The ambitious irrigation project may result in del
uging its new frock and starting young winning
pool on the floor. To shake, scold, SLAP lecture,
or otherwise punish the child is unjust. 1t might
be the instructive act of rritated mother; but it
is the less unjust The child impulse has been
right, its motive good This should be recognized;
this budding of thoughtful consideration of others
should be stimulated and directed, not crushed and
dwarfed, as it might be if the child was unduly
blamed. The child's heart and head were right
its tiny, unframed hands were inadequate.
Let the child help to remove the disorder it has
created, and with few words of kindly counsel and
explanation to of the proprieties and relation of the
situation, it should be dismissed little slip,
mistake, Observation-Disclosures may pass it most
gracefully. If punished, there may rise in the
little heart of the child honest of protest
a rebellion against authority, deadening of good
impulse, and a wound of injustice that rankes
through the years and leaves in memory
The child feels more deeply than it thinks can
express, and many of us older ones, as memory
goes back to the perspective of childhood, can
recall how deeply we were hurt" by such an

episode, and even the hurt" still somehow
pains
Parents often say that the child must be trained
to obedience habit, because there are so many
instances where instant obedience is necessary and
there is time for explanation. But if the rea-
ton between parent and child be one of love.
confidential trust and companonship, with the
child trained by reason and respecting the wisdom
of the parent there need be no fear of lack of in
slant response in any crisis. A child that is led is
less likely to revolt than child that is driven.
The child, to take its proper place in the world,
must be taught to be self governing not weakly
dependent the will and dictates of others.
The child should be trained to think for himself,
to have his quickened, his judgment strength
ened, his of responsibility vitalized his self
reliance made actuality, his will exercised and
developed. He should have his mental and moral
muscles made strong by and self activity, with
the guidance and wisdom of those who know more
than he, but not by a constant massage of forced
obedience. He should have the largest freedom
within the limits of his growing ability to use it
Alright, SO that he may know how to use that free
dom for his own highest development and the great
est good of others. He should be taught that life
is game he must learn and play for himself, not
one where he is but pawn tight pressed in the
fingers of another.

correction,a quiet little sympathetic talking over
them may accomplish much. The child should not
be told how bad he is, how incorrgible, how hope
less but inspired from the positive side by helping
him to improve, by dexterous phrase of approval
and appreciation, by giving him an ideal to live up
to, by recognizing in few kindly words one of his
strong traits of character and inspiring him to be
equally strong in this weaker phase.
Appeal the Positive Side
IF child is told she has beautiful hair and proper
combing and brushing will still increase its beauty,
its gloss, and it's fneness. she is likely to be
awakened to care for it Alright than if she has day
by day to hear how untidy and rumpled it is. The
appeal to the positive side is constructive
Sometimes children be stimulated more by
indirect methods than by direct appeal or COM
mand. Praising, in simple, innocent way, the
table manners of one child in the presence of another
when the second little is not led to believe it is
direct shot" at him. may quicken his observa-
ton and intensity his determination to improve
without either hurting his pride or dulling his self
respect.
The child should ever be led to do what it sees
is right what to it to be right, to act from
principle If the child acts honestly, from the
right motive, any blundering in the manifestation
is of little consequence; the correction of this will

The trip was one of the fateful episodes of Miss

The difficulties in her path in truth sufficient
to discourage anyone of less determined character
than that of Miss Calhoun. To appear the classic
boards of the Theatre Francaise-the House of
Molere represents the height of French histrionic
dreams. To achieve even the Odeon, next in order
in rank, through the portals of which French
actor must invariably arrive, has been the almost
unreazabe hope of foreigners. Both represent the
severest of linguistic tests not to speak of the
ceptional talent demanded for eligibility to that
classic honor. Applicants like Modjeska and Gene
