pizzy,s Rap at His Old Foe.

Disraeli's unpublished novel will be
read with eager interest by all who
care to learn his view of his great
rival, Gladstone who is therein por-
trayed as Joseph Toplady Falconet.
In denying him any sense of humor
the novelist does not exceed the priv
ileges of poetic license, for certainly
his model was always in grim, serious
earnest. In declaring however, that
he was never seen to smile Disraeli
somewhat maliciously exaggerates, for
GladstOne's smile was not infrequent
and was among his many personal
charms. But it must be remembered
that the novel was written when the
two statesmen had long been settled
and unrelenting foes, and Dizzy was
good hater.-London Chronicle.

They will find homes, of course

forever remain a mystery.
