way. and the "hotel" population took
advantage of the occasion to be more
ailing and homesick than common.
A tall, old gentleman walked down
the street coughing at intervals. He
looked at the blue sky and laughing
landscape with disapproval, for he was
I'll and lonely and out of tune with
nature.
He looked curiously at an old colon
iar house standing well back from the
street; irregular flower beds bloomed
at odd places in the grounds, live oaks
grew almost anywhere, and merry,
beautiful children romped under them.
A small boy swung placidly upon the
gate.
Judge Holcombe stopped moment
to cough, and the small boy olsen
gagged himself from the gate.
I'm sorry you're SICK" he said,
with grave politeness. Mother says
we must always invite the 'coughers' to
come in and rest. There's a bench
under the live oak trees and I'll get
you a glass of milk or glass of wine.
Every winter the sick folks come to
the hotel and they get to like stopping
here awfully well. l reckon they are
lonesome and homesick."
The Judge breathed heavily again
and the southern gentleman, after the
manner of his kind, dropped word for
deeds. He took the gaunt old hand in
his little warm one and personally
conducted" the visitor through the
gate to the nearest bench.
"Ill send one of the children for
refreshments" he continued comfort
ably, "and I'll entertain you. 1t would
MT be polite to leave you alone"
In response to his summons group
of children appeared leading among
them huge gobbler. The bird seem
ed very much at home and emitted the
peculiar cry of his kind.
THAT turkey can talk" the boy ex-
planned. Hes saying, Look at me,
I'm chosen above all other turkeys for
/ a great day; I'm It, We can not bear
to have our pets killed, but father says
that turkey that's chosen for Thanks
giving is the proudest thing in the
world and he'd be disappointed If he
didn't get to come to the table"
He turned his attention to his sis
| ter.
\ Little sis, please go in and ask
mother or many to bring out a glass
/ of milk or a glass of wine for this
visitor I dasn't go myself for fear
he'll run away"
The Judge presented his right hand

clasping his left) and sudden thrill
swept over him. The physical contact
of loving. palpitating childhood called
to him with the voice of nature.

An Exciting Town.

Los Angeles is a truly exciting town
to live in. To say nothing of its
heavenly climate and its bombs, there
is always something stimulating in
the occult line going on. Just the
other day a widow Of the angelic city
began to long for sight of one OF
her schoolmates whom she had not
seen for 45 years. The longing brought
its fulfillment. A spirit told her to
look for him in Brooklyn. She obeyed,
met him on the street few hours
after she arrived. and promptly mar
ried him. 1t is worth while to live
in city where things like this hap
pen, even at the risk Of being blown
up now and then.

the consumption of cigars in Germany
is diminishing. The cigarette is grow
ing every year a more formidable COM
petitor to the cigar, particularly as
the cigarette habit is taking greater
hold of women. You can hardly enter
a restaurant of the first or second class
in Berlin-indeed, any large German
town, without noticing Il considerable
proportion of the lady guests smoking
as to the manner born.
In private dinner parties it is the
German custom for all the guests to
leave the dining table simultaneously,
go into the adjoining salon, there
shake hands and utter the word 'Hahz
izeit" and then settle down to coffee
and cigars or cigarettes in friendly
commonalty
This is certainly more polite than
the English custom of the gentlemen
remaining at the dining table drinking
and smoking, and letting the ladies en-
terrain themselves, until it suits the
superior males to cOndescend to JOIN
them. So the German custom is being.
adopted in the American and even the
English colony here.

QUOTED
OFTEN IN CAMPAIGN

LONDON. Jan. 26-Among the
numerous tributes paid to Gladstone
on the occasion of the centenary OF
his birth in a contribution to The
London Mail from the pen of Angus
tin Filon, the Well-known French writ
er on English politics. He says:
Mr. Gladstone once estimated in Wig
orous phrases the value of foreign
criticism of English politics. Foreign
observers, he said, give us, when they
express an opinion Of our great men,
a foretaste of what history will say
they Survey our politica, struggles
from a safe distance, as war cores
pondents follow with a field glass
great battles in which their own coun-
try is not concerned.
This does not seem to apply to
Gladstone himself, since for more than
ten years he has vanished from the
scene. But is he really dead? Has the
memory definitely entered the peace
full precincts of history, where pas
sions and interests lose their sting
and where. great names enjoy univer-
sal respect? Has Gladstone ceased TIC
be a living influence, a fighting pow
er in the field of British politics?

name recurs in the daily controversies
of the press. And no wonder! If few

the horizon is not yet clear from the
storms he had to encounter when he
was at the helm -
People are constantly wondering
what Gladstone would do or say UNI

more than ever / believe, in the pres
ent crisis. Whenever T open a news
paper or read a speech l find Glad

He will play more active part in
the general election than many living
politicians
1t is so difficult even for an cd
adversary, to be just toward Glad
stone and to see him as he is and will
remain when history has passed a fl
nal judgment on his genius and his
work
Only four years had elapsed after
his retirement from Westminster, and
party feeling which burnt so fiercely
in 1894 had sufficiently cooled down
when he died to enable Mr.. Balfour to
salute the departed warrior in the
/ name of the house, just as Gladstone
| some years before, had addressed an
i ever memorable farewell to Disraeli
| In that funeral grafton, l viii ven-
ture to say Mr.. Balfour characterized

ously as and perhaps more truly than
any of Gladstone's political friends has
done since. Mr.. Gladstone he said

! always meant to be right always be-
lieved he was right" That is, 1 think
the greatest praise which can be be-
slowed on a statesman.
1 am convinced that future histor-
! fans will agree in considering Glad
stones great ministry which extended
! from 1869 to 1874 as the most exclu-
sive,y beneficial part of his career 1t
was during that period that I saw
and heard him for the first time

Lord Frederick Cavendish, appeared
on the platform.
| He was returning from his first Wis
it to our exiled Emperor, a visit which
he had retarded to the extreme limits
of possible delay, for this was in the
autumn of 1871 AS soon as Gladstone
was made aware of the presence of the
Prince he came up to him and entered

Pities Prince Imperial.
He askel questions about his studies
and about Kings college. which he
warmly eulogizel. He seemed worried

But gradually his face relaxed and
softened and on parting he looked

of fatherly interest mingled with pity
I never forgot that look and was sad
