DISRAELI MADE GREAT COUP
Purchase of Suez Canal by England
Great Stroke From Both Political
and Financial Standpoints.

AS we move away from the day In
which they labored, Disraeli looms
larger as a British statesman and
Gladstone smaller. Once these legis-
lative gladiators appeared just the re-
verse.
Gladstone never did anything for his
empire of such transcendent impOr-
lance as Disraeli's financial coup in
buying control of the Suez canal from
the khedive of Egypt, Girard OBJ
serves in the Philadelphia Ledger.
That ended finally the French hopes
of empire in the East.
Besides delivering a mighty politi-
cal stroke for his country, which re-
minds one Of Jefferson's purchase of
Louisiana, Disraeli made financial In
vestment that was worthy Of Roths-
child.
The Suez canal stock which he
bought-176,600 shares out Of a total
of 4O0,0OO-are now worth just seven
times what England paid for them.
Their par value is 500, and a divi-
dend of Is per cent has just been de-
clared, and it was over 30 per cent
before the war cut down canal traffic.
The Panama canal will in time be-
come a Standard Oil type Of invest
ment for Uncle Sam.

His Most EXCITING Experience.

his most exciting experience at the
front. He said he could not decide,
but that the following incident was one
of his most thrilling experiences. He
had come from the trenches, and was
looking forward to a fairly restful
time in billets. Entering his room, he
was about to throw himself into a
seat when he heard a kissing noise. 1t
sounded just like lighted fuse, and,
with thoughts of spies and bombs
flashing through his mind, he forgot
his fatigue in wild dash outside. Get
ting to shelter, he waited to hear the
building being blown up, but minute
passed and nothing happened. Then
his orderly poked his head out from
somewhere and said, "Kettle's sing
ing, SIR
