LETTER SENT TO WRONG MAN
One of Least Familiar of Gladstone
Stories Is Recalled by Death of
Irish Lord.
The death of Lord Clonbrock recalls
one of the best and perhaps one of
the least familiar of Gladstone stories,
says the New York Herald. The late
peer was a remarkably venerable per
son and much more sympathetic to the
tenants' cause than most Irish tortes.
When the agrarian question was at Its
fiercest, he made a pacific and moder
ate speech in Ireland partly approving
Gladstone's land bill. Gladstone saw
the speech and, always eager to gain
a recruit, wrote a civil letter, begin
ning "My Dear Lord," expressing his
gratification at this unlooked-for sup
port and begging his correspondent to
waive the ceremony of an introduction
and to dine with him in Downing
street to discuss some knotty point in
the bill.
He handed the letter, as was his
custom, to a private secretary to di
rect and post. The private secretary
misdirected it to Lord Clon-, an ab
sentee landlord and an Irish Tory of
the hottest type, who was sober only
at unprecedented intervals.
The peer came to dine in due course.
As soon as the women had left the
table the G. O. M. drew up his chair'
and opened the subject in the most
earnest tones.
"I was glad to see that your lord
ship took a more sympathetic view of
the subject than the bulk of your or
der. You have unequaled knowledge
of the Irish tenant farmers. Would
you favor me with your opinion of
them and of the condition of Ireland
generally Y'
"Condition of Ireland?" stuttered the
wine-charged visitor, "- awful. Ten
ant farmers? The dirtiest set of
rascals that ever cumbered God's
_earth."
Only one observation was open to
the discomfited host: "Let us join the
ladies"
'CENSUS TAKEN BY DENMARK
Little Kingdom Counts 2,920,000 Inhab.
Itants, an Increase of 13,00 Over
Figures of FIve Years Age.
Very few European countries have
been in a position to proceed, since
August 1, 1914, with their normal quin
quennial census. Denmark is one of
the exceptions. On February 1. 1916,
the little kingdom counted 2,920,000
inhabitants, L e., an Increase of 168,000
souls over the census of 1911.
The distribution ratio Is 75 inhabit
ants to the square kilometer. The
Copenhagen Frederiksberg county con
tains 606,000 Inhabitants, . e., more
than one-fifth of the total population.
The 74 other cities number 604,000 peo
ple. Rustic population, 1,711,000.
The three principal 'ttles, besides
Copenhagen, are: Aarhus, 66,000;
Odense, 45,000, and Aalborg, 38,000.
The present war Increased the Import
ance of the seaport town of Esbjerg
(19,000 inhabitants), which hardly ex
Isted 50 years ago.
The "Why" of the Swagger Stick.
These cute little "swagger sticks"
that officers in uniform are carrying on
the street are the reverse of military
In their appearance, says the Boston
Transcript. Odd little afairs, some
times not more than a foot and a half
long and more suggestive of efemi
nacy than of masculine swagger. The
swagger stick, as nearly as its origin
can be traced, came from England,
where, in days of piping peace, the
soldier's very tight dress uniform
made It almost Impossible for him to
dispose of his hands when walking
about of duty, and it apparently be
came necessary for hlm to have some
thing to carry and twirl. In Digiand
thea private soldier carrie a swagger
stick as well uas the ofaeer. They are
incongruous with khaki. But put a
tight, red tunic on a man and a gay
little pill-box on the side of his had,
and the stick becomes logical enough.
However, swagger stleks are not car
led In the trenches.
Learn to Rule the Spirit.
There are very few of us but have
reason to know that a well-rpied spirit
would have saved us a world eof so
row. Dickens, that reader of the hu
man heart, touches pom this point
with quaint lmplicity when he maes
Mr. Meagles mildly suggest to his
daughter's maid when her fits of p
lon came on. "Oount ten, Tatty
coam," and when they were unnusually
violent, he pleads: "All I ask of you,
dear child, is to cout twenty-five."
If we would quench fres t paslon. a
pause, a silence, may change the
whole course of events and save a life
time of misery.-McClmre's Magasln5.

The investigations of the national

set for them without the asightest
fear of their ecaping. In Colorado

With fruits and vegetables the price
