HOW In AMERICAN GIRL WON AN
AUDIENCE WITH GLADSTONE.
The Grand Old Man Broke Hli Hard and
Vtet Rale and Spoke to an Interviewer.
Pielnre of the Former Premier In His
I Betreat. f
How did I get an interview with Mr.
Gladstone? I didn’t get it. I merely
tried. It la easier to pass through a
needle’s eye than to interview celebre
tiee in England. The whole trend of
opinion is against the practice.
Now. Mr. Gladstone neither ridea a
bicycle nor a horse. He drives a placid
pony in a lbw carriage well manned by
servitors. Fate seemed against me. 1
had always wanted to see Mr. Glad
stone, but the days of his public life are
over, and he lives 200 miles from Lon
don. In my ardor I pleaded for a letter
With an earl and a countess who rank
among his closest friends They answer
ed me frankly: “We are more than sor
ry to refuse. A few years ago we might
have ventured, but Mr. Gladstone’s
great age, increasing weakness and deaf
ness must prevent us. He no longer sees
any one save relatives or old friends. *'
“Why don’t you try Mrs. Gladstone?"
suggested a society woman of London.
‘‘She might manage so that you could
just see him for a moment. ’’
So I tried Mrs. Gladstone. I told her
my object, my desire, the long way I
had come, the journey I was willing
still to make if I could have but the
briefest interview with her husband.
The answer came, but from their daugh
ter, Mrs. Drew. It was the letter of a
lady, kindly and- courteously worded—
but it refused. The hundreds of similar
requests which were constantly being
onade —the great age of her father, his
•weakness, and the supreme necessity for
irest made it imperative that they
should decline all such applications.
Some ambitions, however, are hard
to kill. It was no longer possible to
peek an interview, but I would see Ha
fwarden. So I took the train for Chester
quaintest old city in Europa
There was a, train, but that was lost
In hunting for red roses. Why red
roses? you ask. Only because red is the
liberal color, and roses—well, one has
intuitions about such, things. There is
not a florist’s shop in Chester. Over in
the market there were numerous flower
booths, but these were devoted either to
the festive calla and tuberose in funeral
wreaths or else to the graceful dahlia.
•As I did not require a pallid cross or a
bunch of flowers that looked as though
carved out of wood, I declined to buy.
“Then you will have to wire over the
tellyphones to the nursery,” grunted
one of the women. After two hours of
patient waiting I got about a dozen
small and evil red buddings, eked out
with a weird fern. This was the bou
quet I had ordered. There was no help
for it. 1 rented an unwieldly great bi
cycle, that was left in the shop because
nobody else would have it, tied the de
spicable little box of flowers on the
handle bar, trusted my long skirts to a
series of well meaning but weak kneed
safety pins and creaked dismally off.
After one threads the picturesque
streets of Chester the roads are flat.
Then the trees became thicker, and soon
I turned in at a lodge gate, which a
wagoner informed me was the approach
to Hawarden castle—open to the public.
This was the beginning of the park and
of interest. Near by is a gate which
leads right into a still smoother park,
immediately adjacent to the castle,
whose gray battlemented towers are
here visible, rising lichen colored from
the deep green of the setting. Hawarden
is a stately pile, a real castle.
Soon 1 begin to wonder how lam to
get in. The postern gate looks frowning
and severe and the front wall too high
to climb. Inside the courtyard and to
the right of the castle proper appears to
be a. large . srAv stone house, overrun

a man will only spare
enough time to take
care of health, to eat, and rest and sleep
properly, and when he feels slightly indis

may work as' hard as he pleases, and pile
up money steeple high, without fear of un
timely death.
The worst enemy with which hard-work
ing men have to contend is a disordered
digestion. It is the starting point for most
sickness and disease. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery prevents sickness and
disease. Its use insures a hearty appetite,
and healthful, restful sleep. It corrects all
disorders of the digestion, invigorates the
liver and purifies the blood. It tone? the
nerves. It makes pure, rich blood, builds
firm healthy flesh, and strong, elastic mus
cle. The man who resorts to it whenever
he feels out of sorts, may, within reason,
work as hard as he pleases. Druggists
sell it. ■

writes James Trent, of Clarendon, Donley Co.,
Texas. •• for which please send me a copy of Dr.

Golden Medical Discovery for the blood and
think it is the best blood-purifier in existence.”
One of the best-known of American med
ical men said : “If you want to reform a
man, begin with his grandfather.” That
would be wise if it could be done. Since it
cannot be done, try something else. Reform
the future grandfathers and grandmothers.,
Do this through education. The greatest
thing for a man or woman to know is him
self or herself To know one-half the capa
bilities and disabilities of the human body
is a liberal education. A good start for this
education is Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense
Medical Adviser. Any one can have this

the small boys. At length one hears and
scurries to the fence.
"Are ye coom on business?’* he de
mands cautiously.
1 shake my brown paper parcel at
him and assert that I have something
to l?ave for Mr. Gladstone.
“Then th' bell doan’t ring, an tha
must go eroond through the little gate,
an then by the big red ones, ” he says
and sidles through to show me.
“And for goodness sake who are all
you little boys?” I ask.
“Haw, we belong to Mrs. Gladstone’s
orphanage, an we live here,” is the
mystery solving reply
By this time I am actually up to the
noble porte cocbere. 1 can hear the rus
tle of leaves as the gardener sweeps
them from the gravel walk, but no an
swer comes to my persistent ring. I try
what 1 think is another door. It proves
to be merely a long French window, and
1 have no zeal for the role of burglar. 1
try the gardener. He advises me to go
back and keep on ringing. Even this
advice fails to be good after ten min
utes’ exercise.
Oh, ignominy of ignominy, shall I be
obliged to carry my bouquet around to
the back door? Even so. -There I find a
bell that rings, and a surprised.servant
maid who answers. I send a card to
Mra Drew and the box to Mr. Glad
stone. Then Igo back and wait in the
entrance hall. Soon a footman in plain
est livery appears and explains that the
front bell has “gone wrong” and is
soon followed by another footman, who
says, “Please come around to the draw
ing room window, and Mr, Gladstone
will thank you for the flowers. ”
1 return to the radiant garden, its
prim beds glowing in scarlet and gold.
At the gate a tall, slender woman in a
red blouse and garden hat comes for
ward and says a trifle reproachfully:
“So you got your will after all. But,
mind, it must be only a word and a
handshake.”
This is Mrs. Drew, and coming
through the French window down the
marble steps is the erect figure of a man
well ripened, but not spent, with years.
An easterly wind is blowing his white
hair about his serene face and massive
head. He wears no head covering or
wrapper. There is nothing to suggest
the infirm about him. He is dressed in
rough gray tweed, with the high collar
his pictures have made familiar. He is
not tall, but there is a singular aspect
of power about the man. It surrounds
him like an atmosphere. It goes forth
in a lightninglike impression to the
newcomer. His brow, that splendid
“dome of thought,” is serene and calm
as a summer twilight after an arduous
day. His voice is deep, and his speech
beautifully (dear and distinct. Yet he
said little. A few words of greeting, of
kindly acknowledgment, and then,
with a smile that illumined all his
greatness:
“But I am afraid I shall have to ask
you not to tell any one of this. It is so
unusual for me to see strangers now,
and I have broken through a hard and
fast rule. ”
“I have intruded perhaps—but I—l
couldn’t—just couldn’t go away from
England without seeing you—or trying
to,” burst forth the visitor.
“You are very good,’* said the grand
old man simply, and then he said good
by, for his daughter motioned him in
out of the chill. He went, not swiftly,
but alertly, his wonderful old head
thrown back with a brave gesture full
of expression of power and spirit. I no
ticed a tangle of yellow roses on the
walls where he stood. They were love
ly, and to the owner of their luxuriance
my poor buds had coma Mrs. Drew’s
eyes followed mine.
“It was nice of you to think of the
flowers, ” she said.
“They—red roses—are his favorites,
are they not?” 1 ventured confidently.
Mrs. Drew nodded. “Yes, 1 thought
you knew. ”
The grand old man of England reads,
writes, is constant at church and keeps
his interest in all things, but he is cher
ished from contact with the world. His
days for interviewers, callers, visitors,
are over.—Eve Brodlique in Chicago

Tire<J of Quarreling With Conductors.
Much amusement was afforded the
passengers on a Union station trolley
car in Portland by a businesslike passen
ger. who demanded a receipt for his
fare “Do you think I’m dishonest?”
asked the conductor. “1 don’t know,”
replied the eccentric man “I’ve never
been on your car when it was crowded. ”
After making many sarcastic remarks
the conductor signed his name to the
piece of paper handed him by the pas
senger The receipt was worded as fol
lows: "Received 5 cents for fare from
passenger riding from Elm street to
Union station. ” On being asked why he
wanted a receipt, the man said he was
getting tired quarreling with absent
minded conductors, who frequently
' asked for the necessary nickel after it
1 had been paid. He also said that a few
nights ago in Boston he had to get two
passengers to prove that he had paid his
fare Asrthe man was always placed in
an embarrassing position on such occa
sions, he adopted the receipt method in
order to save further trouble in the fu

Hand Painted Presents.
How many exquisite little holiday
gifts one can prepare if she can paint!
A fancy greatly appreciated by one who
cannot paint is this: Take a satin rib
bon from three to four inches wide,
have it long enough to tie in a hand
some bow, fringe the ends and then
above this paint a -tasteful design.
Flowers are perhaps prettier than any
thing else, but 1 saw one with a tiny
landscape painted upon it with such
delicate touches that it was lovely.
These bows are to be used as adorn
ments for sofa arms or backs or to put
upon the left hand corner of a chair
back.
Another article upon which the brush
may be used to advantage is the cover
ing of a fine needle pillow. The latest
novelty in shape is that of a muff, half
the cover to be of pale pink, the other
half of pale green. The ends were tied
with bows of pink and green ribbons.
The decoration was a branch of pine.

Butted by a Bull.
A Pasadena (Cal.) electric car and a
bull had a meeting at the outskirts of
Los Angeles recently. It was on the
last trip in from Pasadena to Los An
geles that Motorman Nay saw the bull
some distance ahead of the car. Nay
rang the gong and blew the electric
whistle to frighten the animal away,
but without success. The bull spied the
approaching headlight, and taking it
for a challenge wheeled around and
started toward the rapidly approaching
car. Nay tried to stop, but it was too
late, for the bull butted his head into
the light and smashed the glass and
split the front of the car before he roll
ed over with a broken neck.
