met Gladstone. He took me through
the park, pointed out its beauties, es-
pecially the great trees, talked tariff
for while, and then asked me to tell
him something about General Gar
f1eld-something of his personal char
acteristics and whether it was true
that Garfield was all his mature life a
student of the classics-Virgil, Homer
and the other great writer's of an
tiquity.
MIR. Gladstone was immensely in
terested when I told him of Garfield s
habit Of reading page of some classic
every morning while he dressed.
Then, some association of ideas bring
ing the incident to mind, l repeated
what Garfield had said to me in Chi
cago when I congratulated him the
second time upon his nomination for
the presidency
Gladstone was clearly startled He
stepped for an instant in his walk and
turned his great, unfathomable eyes
upon me. Did he say that? he ex-
claimed. Why, that was exactly what
the Duke of Wellington said after Wa
terloo!"

Remark VigorouS-That Put
QuietuS on New York Senator.
Cold, Caustic Rebuke Received by the
New Yorker When He Was
GIoating Over His Defeat
of Arthur.

When Roscoe Conkling and Thomas
G. Plat broke with President Garfield
and resigned from the senate of the
United States, they expected Vice
President Chester A. Arthur, who also
hailed from New York, to join with
them in attempting to persuade the
New York state legislature to re-elect
them as senators, as their states in
dorsement of their opposition to Presi-
dent Garfield General Arthur, how
ever, felt that he could not with pro-
priety take any part in the attempt
of the ex-senators to seek vindication;
in fact, be did not interfere in their
behalf in the slightest way, and so
there began the Conkling-Platt ami
mostly towards the vice-president
which was intensified after General
Arthur became president
1t was intense political hatred of
his old-time associate that caused

Conclusive.

The girl with the blonde hair and
The dark girl with the dimple were
making various purchases preparatory
m their summer vacation. When 1t
came to bathing suits there was a
disagreement. The girl with the
blonde hair wanted to select a de-
cidedly abbreviated costume, and the
dark girl with the dimple was trying
to dissuade her.
"You are not tall enough to wear

Won know a skirt that ends above the

And that settled the matter.

Retort That SiLenced PLatf

Thomas G. Plat, at the Chicago Re
publican national convention of
1884 to support James G. Blaine for
the presidential nomination, though
Blaine, also. was an old-time political
enemy. Nevertheless between the
two, Platt preferred to see the nom
ination go to Blaine, and because of
Platt's support and political cunning
Blaine triumphed over Arthur.
Platt always contemplated with
great satisfaction the part he played
in defeating Arthur at Chicago. On
the evening of the day that he brought
about this defeat he was in great good
humor, and he did not hesitate to
show it to the politicians who crowded
about him as he sat upon one Of the
benches in the lobby of the Grand Pa
elf hotel.
In the midst of the congratulations
that were being showered upon him
on the successful outcome Of the big
politics that he had played, Senator
Plat suddenly spied General Howard
Carroll of New York city passing
through the lobby For years General
Carroll had been an intimate personal
and political friend of President Ar
thurs. Plat knew it, and he also
knew that General Carroll was great
ly depressed by the defeat of Arthur
in the convention; nevertheless, Plat
hailed him, and the general walked
, over to where the easy boss" was
holding court.
! Howard" said the senator with a
manner that clearly showed the vim
dictive pleasure he was taking in his
triumph, and in a voice loud enough
for all to hear, II think have at last
succeeded in ending the career of
your deliberately dressed friend in
Washington"
There was no need for Platt to
specify further; everyone in the group
knew Of General Arthur's penchant for
immaculate dress. But as the presi-
dents friend stood there, apparently
alone in a circle of political enemies,
and not daring to trust himself to
make reply, voice close by spoke up.
Senator Platt," it said, and the
tones were clear and defiant, you for
get that General Arthur is president;
you forget that you cannot erase his
name from the list of presidents. And
l tell you now, in your hour of tri-
umph, that as time goes on he will
stand higher and higher in the es-
TEEN of the American people, and his
memory will be respected long after
the name of Tom Plat has been for
gotten"
1t was the retort vigorous, and, de-
iivered with calculated coldness, 1t
struck Thomas Collier Platt silent, in
the hour of his triumph, with his po-
litical cronies and adulators grouped
about him.

Afraid Of Lnnocents Abroad

a keen business man. He waited until
his directors had agreed to reject
Mark Twain's manuscript, and then
delivered little speech.
Well, gentlemen he said, you
have all had an opportunity to ex-
press your opinion as to whether or
not our company should publish this
work. and your collective decision,
based upon your individual views,
seems to be decidedly against the
publication of it. Now that you have
had your opportunity to publish this
book. and have rejected it, l want to
say to you that I shall Immediately
enter into negotiations with Mark
Twain for the purpose of publishing
the book on my own personal account
The humor of it is new, I'll admit, but
7 am positive that 1t will be cordially
welcomed by the American people for
this reason, If for no other. TO me
the reading of the manuscript has
been a delight I am willing to risk
a considerable amount of my per
sonaI means to publish it, for l am
satisfied that it will prove a most
profitable venture for me. That Is
all, gentlemen,
For a few moments after Presi-
dent Bliss finished speaking there was
considerable embarrassment in that
directors meeting" continued Mr.
warner. Then one of the board

president of this company is of that
opinion and sees fair profit in the
publishing of this work, l think the
company ought to publish it

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though it were
Bcalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
Is we'll We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer

recently. But l sometimes think that
the most interesting of them occurred
during an afternoon l spent with Glad
stone at his country home at Hawar-
den.
4 went to the national Republican
convention of 1880, held in Chicago, as
q spectator. My personal impression
was that either Blaine or John Sher-
man would be nominated for presi-
dent. l did not see how it was DOS
sible for Senator Conkling and the
others who were leading the battle in
favor of Grants third nomination to
succeed. When I heard General Gar
fields magnificent address, in which
he placed John Sherman in nomina-
ton for the presidency, it seemed to
me that in all the United States you
could find no Republican more worthy
of the nomination and election than
Garfield himself. That, however, was
only a passing thought, although,
after Garfield was nominated, I re-
called the vivid impression he made
upon me by his address.
within a few hours after his nom
Ination, Garfield's friend, Mr.. Henry
whom Garfield afterwards appointed
United States marshal for the District
of Columbia, called upon me, and
asked me if it would be convenient
for me in the course of an hour Or
two to call upon General Garfield.
Has he asked to see me?' l ven
tured to say.
Yes; in fact, have come directly
from him to you,' was the reply.
"Of course, I felt highly honOred by
the invitation, and in the course OF
half an hour was heartily received by
Garfield. He had apartments in the
old Grand Pacific hotel. He led me to

The late Charles Dudley Warner

paTatively unknown author OF BOOKS
to contemplate having a book or the
extraordinary character OF 'InnocehIS

Well, in the course of time the
manuscript of Innocents Abroad was
carefully studied by the salarled read'
