TELLS OF GREAT STATESMEN
Aged Member Of British Parliament
Writes Interestingly Of Glad
stone and Disraeli.

In his eighty-third year Sir Francis
S. Powell, Bart, has decided to leave
the house of commons, the London
Daily Mail says. Wigan, where he
was born in 1927, which he represent
ed as a conservative first in 1S57-59,
and again from 1885 to the present
day, heard the rumor with sincere re-
great and proposed to send a deputa-
tion to London to ask its veteran
townsman to reconsider his decision.
But Sir Francis is firm. asking his
friends not to send deputatiOn. Dig
nified and businesslike in debate and
a perfect master of several subjects,
he has been for a generation a type OF
the hotd-working private member.
THE man who stays too long in
parliament makes mistake he
said, in an Interview. "Palmerston.
my first premier, and Gladstone both
stayed too long Gladstone quite lost
his balance toward the end. Even
Lord Morley cannot defend all Glad
stone did in later years.
THE house once had a good laugh
at Gladstone. lie was speaking with
contempt of Disraelis followers and
STOPPED for word to describe them.
Satellites suggested Disraeli quietly
It was obviously the word Gladstone
wanted and the house roared with
pleasure, while Gladstone was plainly
upset.
Il remember another occasion when
Disrael took the sting out of an at
tack by Gladstone The latter had
been speaking in his romping way,
throwing his arms about and declaim-
ing gorously. Disraeli rose from the
other side of the table and said with
apparent seriousness: while the
right Memorable gentleman was speak
ing l was glad to feel that there was
a big piece of furnittse between us.
In black and white that is nothing, but

time when two men began to fight.
One of their men very rudely came
and sat on our bench and II was re-
sented. Then the speaker was sent
for and peace was restored"
Sir Francis Powell's chief claim to
remembrance will be the interest he
has taken in sanitation and education,
He will retain his seat until the close
of the present parliament.

UnfailinQ Nerve.

A book agent who is working the

words to the domestics. His books
are How to Rule the Kitchen" and
|'The Mistakes of the Mistress and

to be very helpful.

ADJUSTED TO A FINE SCALE
Old Mans PltlfuI Complaint as TO Hls
Undervaluatlon by the
Boss.

"Dr Cook and Commander Peary
facts. They refuse to give these facts
to the press-they only sell them.
Such course is necessary on their
part, but II is not unwise"
The speaker, a noted Philadelphia
geographer, resumed, thoughtfully:
Cook once told me that If he ever
discovered the pole he would charge
for all he told about It. He said he
knew his worth. He said he was like
poor old Ned Hopley of his native Cal.
licoon.
Ned Hopley, he explained. had all
his life an absolutely accurate knowl-
edge of his own market value. No
where in the world not even among
artists. actors and writer's, could you
find a man who could appraise his
own actual worth with such marvel
Gus nicely and freedom from personal
bias.
Ned in his old age worked at road
mending Cook came across him one day
breaking stone on the Callicoon road
near the condensed milk factory. He
was over so, and the boss had screwed
him down to 40 cents day. This
ranked in his poor old mind.
"He complained to Cook about it.
Adjusting his spectacles with his
trembling old hand, he said

LIVED UNSECURED BY WORLD
Col. William r. Morrison, Amid Po-
itlcal Turmoil, Retained LoVabIe
Disposition.

Col. William r. Morrison, for years
one of the Democratic leaders of the
national house of Representatives and
the author of the horizontal tariff
bill, who died recently at his home in
Waterloo, ILL.,, was as noted for his
lovable disposition as he was for his
backbone. When John G.. Carlisle was
speaker it was a common saying
among members of congress: What
a great man John Carlisle would be
IL he had Bill Morrison's backbone,
and what a great man Bill Morrison
would be If he had John Carllsle's
brains!"
Col Morrison was never known to
speak i'll of any one. Years ago in
Waterloo there was a loafer who did
not seem to possess one single re-
deeming trait. A wager was made
that Col. Morrison wouldn't be able to
say one good thing about this fellow.
Finally a crowd collected and began
to talk about the worthlessness and
viciousness of the fellow. All had
spoken except Col. Morrison, who re-
marked, We'll, boys, you must admit
that he is a good whistler"
When the old friends of Mr.. Car
Isle were complaining to Col. Morri.
son that his old friend Mr.. Carlisle,
then secretary of the treasury, ought
to resign his position, Morrison met II
with this inquiry: What will Carlisle
resign to?"
