Bill BRI MEI) BY KEI) ROSES 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 raan who neglects his health for t ' ie sa k e of y- a the excite- ment of work Iv money- . \jNr~ 9// getting, is // dancing with RM 9(A Death. It is a dance i n which Death always Wk ys comes out victor. If 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 posed will resort to the right remedy, he 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. ■ “Enclosed please find 21 one-cent stamps,” writes James Trent, of Clarendon, Donley Co., Texas. •• for which please send me a copy of Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser in pa per covers. I have been taking Dr. Pierce’s 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 finely illustrated 1000-page book for the small, price of twenty-one one cent stamps.

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 Times-Herald. 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 ture Kennebec iMe ') Journal A woman with a new drqss that is Very becoming isn t satisfied until the man she likes best and the woman she likes least have seen it.

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.

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.
