 Tis strange what diverse remark. one hill hear expressed by graaf after reading A newspaper. Who is
 writing ttat rubbish" one wifi say while another will say "'tis real ro,l stuff, I know the writer well. he cant conceal his style from me" For my. self I believe that the style. or diff. ferent styles of versatile writer do bends on number of thfnEs-hcaIth, humor. suhject-uatter, pipe. etc.
 And. by the way. this reminds me Of | a story told of the late Mir. Gladstone when he was prime minister. One evening after supper he proceeded to his library to transact some business in connection With state affairs an,i found on the table copy of book tthe famous "ApoloEiaD that day is- sued from the press anonymousIy. with polite request from the publisher that he would read 1t and give them his opinion The Grand Old Man dived into the book and was so fascin- ated with it that when his wife came to him at o'clock In the morning to get him to bed he only said. cath erine leave me good supply f candles, and when the good wife got up in the morning long after dawn | and found him still reading and re- monstrstea with him, he cried out, "Catherine give me more candles. g After another hour, and when his breakfast had somewhat cooled. he had finished the book. and, reverently lay there is only one man on earth ahlc l enough to write that book, and that is Newman Now. as always an ticipate that everyone here does not understand what he reads every day l may mention that the Newman refer red to was John Henry Newman, tn" great writer. who afterward became cardinal. not Maurice Newman. the calculating and efficient traffic man ager of the x.
