Gladstone's Literary Ambitions.
Gladstone's literary alms nevei
failed to annoy Sir Robert Peel. That
literature would seduce Gladstone
from politics was his fear. Lord
Houghton, for Instance, related how
he was at Drayton when "Church and
8tate" reached Sir Robert. Peel hastl
ly turned over the pages and threw the
book on the floor with the exclama
tlon: "That young man will ruin his
fine political career If he persists In
writing trash like this." And on an
other occasslon he marveled that
man with a career befu'8 should
waot to writs books,
