Taft's scepter Is a whip Instead of a
stick, but it has a pretty keen lash.
.;' David Lloyd-George.
The champion of the British budget,
which has made history fcr English
politics, is not a man to lose his head
or his heart in fortune or misfortune.
Be came originally from an obscure
Welsh Tillage and should his projects
receive a damaging black eye would
be ready, like Henry Ward Beecher
when warned that a certain course
would rain his prospects, to "go
back to the woods." Aside from his
feverish Celtic temper, the principal
asset of Lloyd-George in his present
warfare for the people is a silvery
tongue. He has no personal presence,
but his audience forgets that the mo
ment he opens his mouth.
Already David Lloyd-George at the
age of forty-seven has been thought of
as coming Gladstone.' - His convictions
and toe principles through which he
hopes to work them out are much the
same as those of the "great common
er" at the height of his career. Like
Gladstone, he is solemnly as well as
fearlessly in earnest, and being right
has done ' more ' for his advancement
than being brilliant; . ';
Light of Truth.
"The late Henry C. Lea of Philadel
phia." said a Boston publisher, "was
the world's foremost authority on the
Spanish Inquisition. To this subject
he devoted his life. '
"Mr. Lea" was a realist. He sought
only the truth. He threw romantic
lights over nothing. He believed that
the truth gave the best effects of all.
"Once, to illustrate the striking ef
fect that the truth gave, he said that
Byron though it Is not generally
known put a second inclosure in the
envelope to his wife containing" the
beautiful lines:
"Fare thee well! And if for ever,
' Still forever fare thee well!
"The second inclosure was a butch
er's bill, on which in bis fine hand the
poet had scrawled:
"'Please look over this, as I don't
believe we had so much meat in the
time stated." " -
Saving the Situation.
Dr. Hilary Little Laycock of Wheel
ing at the recent diocesan convention
in New York said of a certain resolu
tion: "It was perhaps unintelligible, like
the Wheeling man's prayer.
"This man, praying in meeting for a
brother who lay very ill, cried:
" 'Oh, Lord, restore unto us our
brother if It doth not interfere with
thy perquisites.'
"The. situation was saved by a. dea
con who shouted:
" 'Halleluiah! The Lord knows what
he means.' " . '

Lord Wilton, who, whatever bis fall
lugs might be, was usually most strict
in his religious observances. I saw the
clerk look at us as we entered the
church, andhe evidently noticed Lord
Wilton's absence, but I was not pre
pared for what followed. The vicar
duly commenced, 'When the wicked'
But he was stopped by the clerk, who
turned to him . and, looking across at
Lord Wilton's vacant seat, said in a
loud voice, 'Please, sir, his lordship's
not come yet! "

faults and I will know you are my
friend." And he told me my faults.
and I spurned him, for I thought him
a fool.
I said to a second friend, "Tell me
my faults frankly." And be said I bad
no faults, and I spurned him, for 1

I said to my third friend. "Tell me
all my faults." And he told me my

The Way He Got the Answer.
Railway porters in the town of
Crewe seem to have a curious habit
of answering the question "you do not
ask them. The experience of a corre
spondent of the Manchester Guardian
is a case in point.'; At the station en
trance he asked, "When is the next
train to Manchester?" The reply was,
"Platform 5." He went to platform
6 and repeated his question, and the
answer was, "Other end of the plat
form." Yet again he asked, "When is
the next train to Manchester?" and got
First train after the next on this
side." In desperation he altered the
form of the question to, "Where shall
get the Manchester train?" And
then he got the reply he had wanted
all the time "Six twentv-flve. sir."
It Saved Hie Leg.
"All thought I'd lose my leg,"
writes J. A. Swensen, of Watertown,
Wis. "Ten years of eczema,' that 15
doctors could not cure, had at last
laid me up. Then Bucklen'si Arnica
Salve cured It, sound and well." In
fallible for skin eruptions, eczema,
salt rheum, bolls, fever soree, burns,
scalds, cuts and piles. 25c at all
druggists.
Wily Talleyrand.
Louis XVlll., complimenting Talley
rand one day upon his abilities, asked
him how be had contrived first to over
turn the directory and finally Bonaparte.
The wily diplomat replied, with charm
ing simplicity: "Really, sire. I have had
nothing to do with this. Tlwre Is
something Inexplicable about me which
brings ill luck on the governments that
neglect me."
. Are you frequently hoaroe? Do you
have that annoying tickling in your
:hroat? Does your cough annoy you
at night, and do you raise mucus In
che morning? Do you want relief?
If so, take Chamberlain's Couch
Remedy and you will be pleased,
rfold by all druggists.
