DRAWBACK TO HIGH POSITION
Plant of Wife of Famous Statesman
Was That She Was Deprived
of His Company.

Mrs. Gladstone, wife of William 4.
Gladstone, prime minister of Iate-Yic-
tOrian days, was, in addition To being
an unusually fine-looking woman
always spoken CT as the handsome
Miss Glynne"-the very essence OF
tact and diplomacy, the typical wife
Of statesman, who never said TOO
much and always enough. and who
guided her distinguished husband with
just the right proportion OF tirmness
and gentleness.
MIR. and Mrs. Gladstone We're mar
ried happily for more than half Il cen
tury, and at their golden wedding Mr..
Gladstone paid fitting tribute 10 her
success as Il wife.
Words fail me-" he said, '-in eX-
pressing the debt 1 owe my wife in
relation To all the offices she has
discharged during the long and happy
period OF our cOnjugal union.
The one drawback TO Mrs. Glad
stones complete happiness during her
marriage was the enforced frequent
absence of her husband. She used TO
tell her friends that when Mr.. Glad
stone was In Office and in London dur
ing the season she considered il q
great treat TO be invited TO d friends
house 10 dinner with him. II posi-
BILE, she would sit next him at dinner.
Then" she said. ruefully, lit is at
least possible for me to have some
conversation with my husband. 9th

HaroId,s Destination.

HarOld's parents had just recently
moved to town, and one Of his little
friends invited him to a party. Harold
went, but did not enjoy himself. The
games seemed so silly, and the girls
were always giggling, and Harold was
not sure that he was not the subject
OF their mirth. He endured il for q
while, but finally slipped from the
room, expecting TO leave unnOticed.
But just as he was opening the door,
the little hosts mother saw him and
asked: why. what's the matter,
HaroldY'
To which he replied: law, there's
nothing the matter with Harold, but
he are going home"
