BALFOUR RETIRES
He Resigns the Leadership of the OPP
position Party.

London, Nov. S.-A ]. Balfour has
resigned the leadership of the opposi-
ton.
The news of Mr. Balfour's resigna-
ton caused the utmost surprise and in
some quarters CONSERVATION. The
unlonists do not attempt to disguise
the seriousness of the loss of one who
IS admittedly the greatest asset of the
party.
1t is understood Mi Balfour's de-
cision is unalterable. He advances the
condition of his health as the reason
for his withdrawal but there is no
doubt that the chickering's in the party
ranks was the cause. He will remain
In parliament representing the city Of
London
The choice of a successor to Mr.. Bal
four seems to be between J. Austin
Cham berlain and Walter Hume Long.
TIE former is the Liberal Unionist
member of East Worcestershire and
for some time has been mentioned by
the opponents of Balfour as his posi-
bic successor Long represents the
Strand.

IT PAYS TO BE GENTLEMANLY.

The gentlemanly boy is always at u

with manly character is the one combina-

gentlemanly boys opportunities are only
limited to his ability and push Manll-
ness is made up of absolute integrity anu
faithfulness to the right. This makes tho
man. The addition of helpful kindness
makes the gentleman Mark you. the
gentleman is no mOllycoddle. The one
who is weak or vacillating lacks man
hood another who can stand like rock
in that which he thinks right but lacks
the tenderness of sympathy, the heart OF
kindness, may be manly, he is not gen
tlemanly- He may have admirers, but
will have few friendships He will be in
demand only when there is rough work
to do and is constantly liable to the sus-
picions of heartlessneSS. But the gentle
manly man is always welcome every
where. The gentlemanly boy who gives
evidence of push is always at advantage
in applying for positions if he possesses
the position sought. Many make the
mistake of assuming that gentleness
without sterling manliness will win all
desirable distinctions Villains often seek
by suavity and kindly officiousness to
hide their real selves and open the way
to the accomplishment of nefariOuS puT-

CITY AND COUNTY SCHOOLS.

CIT I
In conversation the other day we heard
expressed the interesting opinion that the
pupils in the county schools were better
grounded in the important studies-that is,
reading writing spelling arithmetic and
erammar-than are those in the graded
schools of the city In the first place, he
commended more attention is paid in the
country to these subjects than to those
which are less essential In the second,
the pupil in the country school remains
eight years in the same room with pupils
of eight different classes. He hears at
least a part of the recitations Of all the
classes. and those of the classes beneath
the one in which he is enrolled supply him
with a sort of review of the work he had
already taken. A practical test to deter
mine whether it is really true that coun-
try schools are more thorough than those
of the city, especially in the branches
named, would be diverting, If it had no
other vaIue.-Leavenworth Times.
