and Gladstone During heated Hight

on the table between them. Disraeli

Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr.. Leslie says:
my grandmother recalled the ludi-
crous incident which brought them to-
gether. AS they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other they
seized the same hat. The effect was
ludicrous enough to appeal even to
professional humorists, and they shook
hands"

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous to Record, but Detract Lit
tie From the Stories as
They Are Read.

The British minister of education
come across in books. One of them
runs through "Ivanhoe." where the
Normans and Saxons are represented
as two distinct races. The fact is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage between the two races had
gone so far that Norman could hardly
be told from Saxon; but Sir Walter
Scott did not realize this until the story
was set up in type. and so the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through it. Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphry Ward, who in one
of her books made two people take
chairs in Kensington gardens in the
first week In October, though all chairs
are removed from the gardens on Sep
