he at once began to talk. He talked
long and eloquently: and there was no
way of interrupting him without being
rude. When the hands of the clock
were nearing eleven, and Mr.. Lincoln
had had no chance whatever to inter-
pose a remark, Mr.. LabOuchere inter-
rupted Mr.. Gladstone's torrent Of
words by saying, "Mr. Gladstone, it is
now II o'clock; it is an hours ride to
London. and promised Mrs. Gladstone
to have you back at TO-"
Later when the two were seated in
the carriage Mr.. LaDouchere said to
Mr.. Gladstone, "Well you have passed

Don't Worry About Fuel.

When we have need of alcohol for
fuel purposes it will be produced com.
mercially in sufficient quantity to meet
all requirements, says Henry Ford, in
an interview in the Popular Science
Monthly. There is enough alcohol in
an acre of Michigan potatoes to pillow
the acre of ground that raises them
for a hundred years! The "fuel prob
lem" will take care of itself. 1t need
be no source of worry now.

most popular young men of Pensa-
cola, lies in critical condition at the

bullet wound self-inflicted at his

covery, but it was admitted at late
hour last night that his condition is
very critical.

of the finn comprising the John
White store, had been in i'll health
for several months. He had appar-
emily become respondent. and his
brothers urged him to leave for a
rest. He did not do so, and later
contracted dengue fever. This left
nj rain a still further weakened state
and he apparently became more de-
spOndnt and downcast.
Ee remained at his place of bust
ness, however, but apparently took
little interest in what was transpir-
ing and was not his iovial self. Yes
terday morning he was at the store
as usual in the forenoon, but went
to his home shortly after the noon
hour. He remained there, but ap-
peared listless.
Later, without the knowledge of
his wife, he secured a revolver and,
entering the bath room, shot him
self The bullet entered near the
hea and passed entirely through
the body. The report Of the revolver
attracted members of his family, who
rushed into the bath room to find
!, him in an apparently unconscious
y endition. He was then rushed to
