Humoroua Incident of Gladatone'i Ri valry With Disraeli. An anecdote of Gladstone at the time of his greatest rivalry with Disraeli Is often retold. At a dinner party the subject of Judaism cropped up. 'Admitted," said Gladstone, "that the Hebrews have given the world a philosopher in Spinoza, musicians In Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, a poet in Heine, the fact remains that they have not produced a single statesman," There was silence for a moment. Ev ery one knew, of course that this was a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one of the company stepped Into the breach. "Mr. Gladstone," be said, "as a-mat ter of fact the Hebrews have produced a statesman and one of the greatest the world has seen." The fighting instinct of Mr. Glad stone surged up at once. "May I ask, sir," he said pointedly, "who was this Hebrew statesman?" Every one, anticipating a more than lively scene, waited in tense expecta tion for the answer. It came in the quietest tones, "Moses, sir." Every one smiled, and Mr. Gladstone joined In the laugh. Vienna Welt. Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

Many years ago a Norwegian was taken to a big London hospital suffer ing from an illness which prevented him from earning his living. Sir Fred erick Treves operated upon him and completely cured him of his trouble. Some weeks afterward the man called upon Sir Frederick at his private bouse, and, much to his surprise, presented him with a coin. At first Sir Frederick refused to take it. but the man would not be put off. "It is now three years since I left my native land," be said, "and before I came away my wife gave me this coin and told me never to part with It un less I was starving. It Is not worth anything, but the value to me I cannot express. When I was In the hospital I made up my mind that you should have It. Since you cured me I have been starving, but I would not part with the coin because I wanted you to have it as a small return for saving my life."
