George F. Ford, Ottawa's conspicu ous affidavit shark, is looming in municipal affairs as the city's best lit tle bet as an "off agin, on agin, gone agin," expert. Monday, Fori sprang a sensation by announcing to tho city council that he had gambled, lost moie? and became intoxicated Sun day, August 21, in tho J. J. Ryan sa loon. The pronouncement was made In a sworn affidavit, all properly at tested and bearing a notarial seal. Today Ford placed himself in tho way of a couple of yawning iron doors at Joliet, when he threw a jolt Into the city commission by retract ing everything he had said under oath in the first affidavit, by filing another in which he denied all the "truth'' that were in No. 1, and entirely exon erated Ryan. In this No. 1 oath Uyan mentioned gambling and the loss of money amounting to $16. He does not say in the second whether any money was handed back or Just what caused him to change his mind bo suddenly. Both affidavits, the dates show, were made topon the same day. Officials are contemplating prefer ring perjury charges against Kvap and prosecutions probably will fol low. Tho contrasts between the two affidavits, both ol which seem to have gone thro the aatne process as pre scribeU by law to make them binding, is so great that the Free Trader Journal reprints them in full. This is Ford's statement of Monday: To the Mayer and the City Coun cil f the City of Ottawa: I, George .F Ford, being first duly sworn on oath, depose and say that I am a resident of the City of Ottawa, county of La 8116, and state of Illinois, and that I have been for several years past addicted to the accessive use of Intoxicating liquors; that on Sunday, January 21, 1917, that I was admitted to the saloon of John Ryan, In said city of Otta wa, where I bought, paid for, and drank intoxicating liquors; that I spent the greater part of the day in said saloon, became intoxi cated, played at a game of chance for money, and lost at gambling all the money I hnd, amounting to about $16. Signed, GEORGE F. FORD. Subscribed and sworn before me this 29th day of January, 1917. E. E. TUCKER, (Seal.) Notary Public. And this is one that Ryan presented for Ford today: STATE OF ILLINOIS, LA SALLE COUNTY, as.

Ryan was present at the ses slon of the council this morning and was cloBely interrogated by Com mis sioner Palmer. "What do you know about this," said Commissioner Palmer.

Victor Cobrrubis and his wife, both Mexicans, have pitted themselves against the laws of the great state of Illinois in a hope that they will quit victors in a fight to prove that they do not have to send their teir years old daughter Marie to school if they decide they would rather have her at hrnie. Resides defying tho truancy regula tions the Mexican couple threatened bodily harm, to Miss Launia Ausscm, when ehe visited their home at 411 Canal avenue, and attempted to per cua(lo t;lem t0 comncl their daughter to attend school. The mother became real menacing before Miss Aussem firmly informed her what would hap- pen ,f ghe dM m 8ubmlt t the evltable. Victor, aside from giving his wifo his moral support and an oc- canonal verbal thrust at Miss Aus- sem, made no attempt to ubo violence up tho truant officer. Marie, who had promised Miss Aus sem before the visit to her home, that she would go back to school, caught the rpirit of the occasion and Joined with the parents in deriding Miss Aus Bfiu, until that official decided to re sort to strenuous means of forcing her argument to a successful termination. Ordered Into Court. Complaint was filed with Justice George Joenig charging Cobrrubij with violation of the truancy law, and he will be taken before the judge to cither admit or deny his guilt. The statute fixes the punishment at from $5 to $2D, and if he is found guilty $20 would be an exceedingly light punish ment for his offense. The defendant is a section hand and last night, when his trial was sched- uled, he was unable to appear m court. His hearing probably will take place at 4 o'clock thl3 afternoon. Miss AuFsem and others who know the facts In the case will be called upon to testify against the foreigner. Mario, the girl In question, despite Tier ten years and physical develop ment, has only reached the Becond grade in school. This her parents thought sufficient education to last her the rest of her natural life. The mother needed her at their home and Marie seemed perfectly satisfied with helping with the housework when she was given preference between that and the schools. To Force All Cases, Miss Aussem has determined to force tlj fases of truancy where the blame is trace;! to the parents. The law is very exacting in this particular and where violations are uncovered, the offenders will be summarily dealt with. Other cares are under invest!- gallon and if the "goods" arc obtained on the fathers and mothers they will be subjected to the same treatment in st for the north side peon and his wife.

TAX BOOlOPElE II COLLECTOR KASTLER ESTAB LISHES HEADQUARTERS IN NA TIONAL CITY BANK FOR COL LECTIONS TO BE WRUNG FROM TOWNSFOLK. William Kastler, collector of taxes for the town of Ottawa, is among the first in La Salle county to open his books and announce his readiness to receive the golden flow that law, so ciety, state, county rM ani mantel pal expenses make necessary each year. Mr. Kastler has selected the National City Bank as his headquar ters whero the high-minded and bene ficiont taxpayer will be able to find him at all periods of the work day. Clerks in the office of County Clerk Bach who were employed during Jan uary and part of December, compil ing the books and preparing them for distribution among the various col lectors completed their task last week j and all but about fifteen of the records have been taken out by those worthies. La Salle has the distinc tion of being the first to get its book ani Ottawa was a close second. Close Books March 10. The statutes provide that the col lector must close his labors on or be fore March 10.

NOTED CHICAGO CLERGYMAN DE LIVERS FINE ACDRESS AT HIGH GCHOOL, ON ENGLAND'S GREAT EST STATESMAN. While it was not an overly large au-dience--due to many .counter attrac tionsthat heard Dr. Fiauk Gunrau lus deliver his famous lecture upon "A Study of the Life of Gladstone," it was a highly appreciative one; each man and woman of whom will always cher ish the occasion whea they were af forded an opportunity of sitting thru such an elegant discourse with the noted Chicago divine as tho speaker, at the high school last night. His memory, rich with a fund of inti mate knowledge of 'Britain's greatest statesman, a vocabulary and phrasing ability that knew no bounds, manner isms of the finished public speaker and a magnetic personality that at tracted people to him, Dr. Gunsaulus literally held the audience in the palm of his hand, as they listened to his word pictures of Gladstone and the life that made his existence upon this mortal plain so spectacular and his torical. That Gladstone was among the fore most, of men was the firm belief of Dr. Gunsaulus. He said he was the great est statesman of the nineteenth cen tury. During his address the speaker said in part: "There are four portraits which any student of Gladstone must see and study and interpret "before you know Gladstone. "First, Landing at Liverpool, In the Walker Art Gallery. This portrait is in marble. It is white and cold, and is of a young man of four and twenty, whose portrait it Is. Gold as crystal, white It is, the very embodiment of el oquence. The Yery toe of his boot seems to e eloquent. The artist has brought out every detail of his char actcr which was brought out in his youth and continued down rnto his old age. "When 1 saw Gladstone he was more than SO, and to me seemed the most fascinating ana imperial, of old r en. As one stands looking at tho portrait one realizes that this is the embryo Gladstone, the real Gladstone Is to come, ,Thls is tho promise of what Is to come.

Thns nf us vho have studied history of statesmen cftentimes have failed to see that the history was the history of statesmar- hip. Gladstone had much to rver- come before he could rise to the sagi ctv and self-control noticeable In h'a later life, and which made Wm. Glad- Jone the unsurpassed statesman of j the Nineteenth Century. You and I have to overcome our ignorance, our own personalities, just as Gladstone overcame his.

Objections to parts of the Van Buren street Improvement were made by At torneys Fullerton, Cairns and Com missioners Meagher and Helffrlch. The ordinance for the improvement on that street, was passed, liowever.' over me protests. The first ordinance aaoptea was me one for pavements on parts of Jack son, Jefferson, Lafayette and Forest streets in West Ottawa. The second was for the paving of Phelps and Kansas streets, and the third was for Cornell street, between Glover and Center streets. The fourth ordinance taken up was that covering the eastern portion ot Van Buren street. Commissioners Meagher and Helffrlch were of the opinion that the street was not settled enough to warrant paving at this time. Attorney Fullerton voiced the senti ment of the property owners who did not want the paving. Attorney Cairns spoke along the same line, laying etress on the point that as paving is only a benefit to the property owners and not the public in- general, he be lieves the wishes of the owners should be abided by. Mayor Bradford was spokesman in favor of the improvement and cited in stances showing where property own ers had protested because of the con dition the street was In. He alao stated that the engineers advice on the street; was that It was fit for pav inar. ''To pave at a later date wilt cost a great deal more to the city and property owners," said the. mayor In his closing remarks. Commissioner Helffrlch brought ifr I 'bree to I Cam i. hell two vote, commissioners and Palmer and Mayor Bradford voting in the negative. A motion was then made that the ordi nance be passed and was carried by a three to two vote, Helffrlch and Meagher voting in the negative. Conduit Ordinance. Tlie conduit ordinance, in the loop district only, was up for consideration this mornine. Mayor Bradford asked that the council as a whole consider the ordinance. Commissioner Meagh er askei that action be deferred on the' ordinance until a report of the crnduits from district number two, the outlying portions, be heard from Commissioner Helffrlch made a mo- tion that action tin deferred until a re port from the Utilities Commission be made on the two districts. The na tion was lost by a three to two vote. Commissioner Meagher stated that in- j jng was merely up for consideration; of the councilmen as a whole and no vote on its acceptance was taken.

PASSED SCOTLAND YARDS ARRESTS MAN SYMPATHIZER WITH WOMEN MARK LABOR LEADER ARTHUR HENDERSON, ANOTHER DOMINANT FIGURE IN ENGLISH POMLITICS, WAS SCHEDULED FOR DEATH. London, Jan. 31. A plot to murder Premier David Lloya George and Ar thur henderson, two of the most dom inant figures in the British cabinet, has been unearthed, according to th police. Three women, arrested In connec tion with the conspiracy, were ar raigned in the Derby police court to day and remanded until Saturday on a charge of conspiring to commit mui der. A man, said to be a cpnscientlous objector and the husband of one of the women, also was arrested. Arthur Henderson is, secretary of the Labor Party, a member of the Cabinet without portfolio and a mem ber of the War Council. It was reported that an attempt had "Ven made or was about to be made to poison the two statesmen. The man in the case, Albert Mason, is an expert chemist. v Albl four of the prisoners are relat ed. The eldest ot the alleged con rpirator8 is Mrs. Alice Wheeldon and the other two women, Miss Harriet Wheeldon and Mrs. "Winifred Mason, are her daughters. Only formal evidence was given at the hearing today, but enough was prcduced to establish thai the case was one of the utmost gravity and one of national interest. J jBoth1 the Dally Mall and the Daily Sketch gave intimations of the affair be'ore. the facts became known. A delegation of suffragettes called upon Premier Lloyd George at his offi cial residence in Downing Street yes terday. They expressed their deter- TnTnatlon to picket tho House until the Premier consented to receive them. They were believed to be of the Pacifist faction of the suffrage move me:it which has been carrying on a strong propaganda for some time. The official announcement of David Lloyd George's elevation to the Pre mlerrhip succeeding Mr. Asquith was made on Dec. pith. Immediately after the now Prime Minister became ill and it was about a week before ho was able to appear 1 pallament. While he wai hailed as the man f the hour and the "savior of Eng lrnd." Mr. Lloyd George incurred the bitterest enmity of the pacifist facfoi Icr his drastic methods. Naturally of a democratic natuie and used to hostile demonstrations .n Hp long political career, the Premier cilidained any unusual precautions to Hiard him.

Agriculture U the oldest oe upatica of man. by at leat a few years. Folks thru the ages have farmed principal ly not to make a life, but to prevent death. To he sure history tells m about pertain farmer who were wealthy, but the most sati.-t iction they ob- tafne 1 from thij wetl:h was the pride of posse -.ion. whiih may not Le far removed fro::; the -imbitioii of avarice.

In the past fifty years the period since the Civil war, farm ins h:is advanced in a way never be fore dreamed of. While 1 am neither prophet nar the noon of a phrophet, nevertheless if we may to a degree Judfio the probable proportion of a structure by the appearance of the foundation, it seems that farming in the next rf'y years will as far out Strip that at the past half century as the lisht of the full moon outshines that of the faithful north staiv I do not support that all, or even any considerable number of farmers Will become millionaires, for farming is not a highly profitable business, and probably never will be. Million aire.! are made principally by specu lation. While the speculative value or unearned Increment of I.illl h'la !v,.

duced many farmers to ride in lux ury, whose parents slaved for the ne cessities of life, there are examples in almost every locality which illus trate the statement th.it only threa. Generations are necessary for the cycle from need to comfort, then wealth and return. The speculative value of land n not be expected to play so important a part in the future as it has in the Th. oan Act hieh e, ,h nalsed valultliJ ?r Ti uf, ,UP" paised valuation of land on which a to catabll h a BtanS Z I nvestont SSm th havAl w. 5 lut" ueen lOOKing at It .0,"..a..dU,tance' bu they h!lve been Brduuauy arawmg closer to It.

Just as surely as a four story building under normal condi tions I3 worth more than a one storv j of similar construction, so surely will tana he worth more as the net profits from it approach and outstrip the prof it from other safe Investments. Wrhi!e the rise in price of farm products has helped the income from our specula tive values, better machinery, better seeu, and additional cultivation have PfimllitlO'l in the pl TlenT KT The productive capacity of our 'soil baa diminished.

This may seem like the cw r ten- an alarmist but let us consider it t.i view of the following facts. The U.

To get a fair perspective 0f the conditions, let us comnare i. ton yev periods. We will take the first Period from 1894 to 11)03 Inclusive, and Jbo second period from 1904 to 1913 ncluslve Each of these periods seem .L L y mcmilv6 01 normal conditionn. ln the second period con sidered, our Imports mado a decided Increase.

Someone out side of these Great United Btatea has evidently been Increasing bid foreign trade. While our Imports havo been mak inif such marked Increase what has happened with our exports We do nut find tho far-famed Yankoo to be for a home, regardless of the Interest rapidity.

A Try-Out Sleepy Cut is not so Inrge a place that one would ordinarily have much trouble in finding 'a man In It If he searched well. But Duke Mor&nn' drove Into town next morning and had to stay for three days waiting for a chance to meet Do Spain. Duke was not a man to talk much when he had anything of moment to put through, and he had left home, determined, be. rore lie ennm buck, to finish for good with his enemy. De Spain himself bad been putting off for weeks every business that would bear putting off, and had been forced nt length to fun down to Medicine Bend to buy horses. Nan, after her uncle left home Justly npprehenRlve of his Intentionsmade frnntlc efforts lo fet word to De Spain of what was Impending. She could not telegraph n publicity thut she dreaded would have followed nt once. Do Spain had expected to be bnck in two days. Such n letter ns she could have sent would not reach film nt Medicine Bend. As It whs, a distressing amount of talk did attend Duke's efforts to get track of De Hpafn. Sleepy Cut had but one Interpretation .for his lnqul- nm-rnni! n ngnt, ir one occurred be teen these men, It was conceded,' WouhHwrhistorlc In the annuls of the town, its anticipation was food for all of the rumors of three days of sus pense.

She rode straight to the hospital, Instead of going to the livery bnrri. ntid .leaving her horse, got supper and walked by way of unfrequented streets downtown to the station to wait for the train. When the big train drew slowly, al most noiselessly, In,' Nan took her pmce where no Incoming passenger could escupo her gnze and waited for Do Spain. But when all the arrivals had been accounted for, he hud not come. y i She turned, hetfvy-henrted, to walk back uptown, trying to think of whom she might seek some Information con. Cernlng De Spain's whereabouts, when her eye fell on n man standing not ten feet away ut the door of the bag gage room. He was alone nnd seemed to be watchlnz the chancing nt tun engines, but Nan thought she knew him by sight. The rather long, straight,' j omcu' nnir tinder the broad-brimmed hat: marked the man knowH rind hated in the gap ns "the Indian." Here, she nld to herself, was 'a chance.

J. rJougherty, at hit home In South Ottawa, A very Interesting paper was read on "Pie" by Mayor Bradford, as follows: "Pie It a shot fired into the stomach along with a cup of Java, tike many other ordinances it has been increased in deadliness by modern science. Pie originated in New England, but has now gotten along way from ho.ne. Pie la composed of a gun-proof shell filled with desiccated groceries. The outer hell is said to be made of dough, a rather expensive ingredient After it has been kiln dried it is guaranteed to withstand the attacks of a com mon house fork and will present tho same appearance when one or ten days old. "There are different kinds of pie, in cluding open face, hunting case, jail window, frosted face and ventilated pies. All pies are similar in one re spect, being round and having a con crete foundation. A square pie would not come out right when cut and the angles would be to confusing that the ater might choke to death. "Pie la often made by too many amateurs and I believe that we should go on record .favoring the adoption of art ordinance governing the style of pie. The cook must also present samples to bo passed by the national board of pie eaters before he shall be al lowed to offer hit pies for sale to the public." .The new stitch In crocheting was adopted. Simply Couldn't "Say, old man, can you lend me a few dollars?" Impossible. I've tried to several times, but you Invariably look upon the amount ns a gift" Boston Tran script Gossip with Oater Coming Back. Just when the fans have slated Teody Oster for discard and were ot the opinion that, he was going to de sert the ring for good, he comes out with the announcement that he will hot for thy of the clubs in La Salle county In a few weeks. Oster is at present living lip in Hartford, Wis., where he is employed at one of the hotels In that city. It has been many weeks since tho Streator phantom has wielded a glavevln fact the last occa lion wis In August at a boxing show held in Aurora. Upon this occasion Otter met Teddy Enck, who ia now in the Australian ring Circles. Oster gave the Aurora boxer a mat lacing, but Enck was awarded the deejlsion which was not at all to the nleaslne of fans who were at the ringside, Morrio Flynn, who moot3 Red Cole too heavy to box, but says that he can train into shape in the course of a few weeks. Freddie was one of the toughest boys in his class and his Streator and Ottawa followers are more than anxious to see hlw back In the arena. Morrle Fylnn, who meets Red Cole in Ottawa on February 6th, is of the belief that Enck is aftaid to meet ihm. From Enck comes, the wont that he will meet them all,.,) He will have to make good within thr next few months or followers of,. the pugilistic game will beliovo that he has quit for good, ."Goats" Dolg Tough. While on the topic of boxers it 1.4 well to consider our old friend "Coats'" Dolg, of Spring Valley, probably the toughest lightweight In the game to day. If you don!t believe that "Goats" Dolg is tough, ask wee Doc Krone or one "Spike" Kelly who made himself sick. trying to Jieat Dolg New Year's afternoon at La Halle. L'p in the Chicago "gyms" Kelly passed the word thti he was going to knock out Dolg.. "He's awkward and when I land on him I'll put him in the land of fnrgotfulncss," was tho way, the Polish lighter under Krone's crelht.put it. Fans In this vicinity know what the battle resulted liscltjnto,, Any time a Mxer undertakes to liiniR a K. O. cm "Goats', Dolg ht' gcijng.to have his t hands full: ,Doig, however,, bad tnado thi' great "mistake .tb'Jfie' majority ,of fighters. rtqVwiiQ comeom a smalt town.-, Dolfr went far ti liough In he fl'ghtgamq, and .secured enough ex. perjence, to warrant bis appearance on cards in Kenosha and Racine. Instead of going up and' getting 'on the bouts "Goats" remained at homo, only to be idolized by his home town followers There is rto question but what he could have been up with the best of them and he ia still able to box along with some of tho best fighters In the lightweight Class.' If Coyne, "Goats" Doig's manager ,is wise he will send his fighter Into the big shows, if only In seml-windups, there he will attract the attention of the sport critics of the country. Watch "Ptanuti" O'Brien. 'Fans In this.' vicinity are watching the work of "Peajiuts Joe O'Brien," of Ladd with Interest. "Peanuts" Is tit present up In Milwaukee where ho hi ninni; mil i iiht H WILL nu I i'mn ifQCMiiiiARii HILL I ULUUIIILUIIIU AUSTRALIAN FIGHTER WOUtO BE NO MATCH FOR THE CHAMPION DArtCY SAYS HE WOUtD HAVE A CHANCE. New York. Jan. 3 i-1 ester l'arrr may never be matched with Jes Wtllard, (or a match, between the twi would look like a mismatch from ev ery angle. But Les isn t overawet' by the hip fellow. He actually be lieves he would have a good chance to beat him. "Far be it from me to belittle the prowess of Jess Wlllard," says Darcy, "but it' you want my opinion 1 ta. frankly Eay that 1 don't believe Wil lard is iuvincit To by any means. "From what I know of ring histor 1 1 have formed the opinion that the goad little men are better as a rule than the giants of the ring. I think a good middle or light heavywelgM would have a wonderful chance ti beat Wlllard. and beat him decisively I would welcome the chance myself." "Speed, agility, a cool head and fairly good wallop, combined with knowledge of footwork are superior to beef and heft. Many may disagree with my view, but a glimpse into the past will show that most of the pu gilistic champions of other days were far from being mountains of flesh. "The tremendous height of Willard who measures six feet seven Inches, would prove an advantage to him in a bout with me, for I top just exactly five feet seven inches. This height of Willard's would force me to hammer away at his mid-section until I could bring him down to somewhere near my size get his chin within range of the winning wallop. The old adage or the woodsman the taller the tree the easier the job of cutting it down the "Pugs" securing bouts with much frequency. The sorrel top Italian yes, "Peanuts" Is an Italian is improving a great deal In his fighting. Many ot his followers predict that he will go to the top of the ryks. This Ladd Ital ian sure has confidence in himself, In a conversation with the writer a few weeks ago he, like the Irishman Casey, was naming all of the boxen) whom he could whip. First on the string came Ever Hammer, Charley White, Joo Welling, Joe Sherman, and he really mentioned Freddie Welsh. Confidence in a fighter is to be ad mired. Veterans in the game tell us that it constitutes about fifty per cent of the science and Its a cinch "Pea nuts" is not short in that part of the science, Real Punches Count. Givo us the lad with tho punch," that is whit all the boxing promoteis of the country are asking for today. The scientific boxer, if he be a cham pion, somewhat on the style of Freddie Welsh, may get plenty of matchers but the youth who can produce of K. O. punches, regardless of what divi sion he is in, is always in demand. Lovers of the great sport prefer the youngster who Is a willing mixer and who gives an dtakes a punch. Invar iably the crowd is yelling for that lad who can produce the sleep punch, in spite of the fact that his opponent may be a faster and better man. Right now the followers of the game are watching Young Dory, a "prelim' fighter who has been stopping his op ponents regularly In every battle he participates. j In our local ranks we find Harry Nebergnll, known as "Kid Nebcr", one i of tho hardest hitting "prelim" fight j crs In this part of the state. When i Nebergall hits he justly simply "Knocks em" cold. Ho may not be i near ho clever as some of the young crop of fighters, beginning their jour ney for pugilistic laurels, but ho can hit hurd enough and often enough to stop any of them. Nebergall is slated j to stop Stanley Ryan oarly in the go 1 ing when tho pair clash In Ottawa on next Tuesday evening. Has Marten Quit.? It begin to look a:i tho Hilly Mar ten, one time f ivorite of the Streator end Ottawa fl:;ht fans, his quit the game for good. Tho only kind of gloves that Hill Is wearing nowadays are the ones used to keep his hands warm. Two years ago when the box ng game was flourishing In La Salle founty Billy was In big demand, When tho boxing gamo dropped Into obllv tlon In these parts Illlly too decided to quit, Several months ago, just to show that ho know how to box, Billy went down 10 La sane una fought a uraw with Young Stevenson. That bout marked his last action In the squared arena. Tho boxing game apparently has no lure for Martin as he has turnod down offers to go on In the rings around this psrt of the Btate, Marten attracted tho attention of the fight critics when ho defeuted a brother of Ad Wolgast nt Cmlllne, Mich,, n little over a year ago. seems to fit Willard nicely in my opin on. "I btdieve that Villard would soon wilt under continual punches to his nid section. A continual rain of blows o the stomach should double him up like a Jack-knife, for they tell me he Is a lover of rich foods and that he does not take sufficient exercise to ;cep In the best of shape. Another thing Willard is thirty years of age, and no man of thirty Is inclined to pu: 'he vigor into his training that a youngpr man will put into ti is. These hings have caused more tha.i one 'bampion to surrender his title. know that many fight followers will laugh at my idea of what might "e .lone to Wlllard by a small man like myself. They will say he wou.u simply hold me off with those long arms of his and Jab me around until I was groggy, then knock me cold. But remember what I have said about agility! Well, that's where I would onset the advantage Willard has over me in reach. "I think that Willard would get dis couraged trying to land a solid wallop n my chin, and then he would f be come reckless and perhaps a bit wild. That would give me the opportunity to win. If I should meet him my plan would be to try and tire him out wim f3t footwork, and, then, if 1 could suc ceed in that, I would tear Into close quarters. I think that in a long fight Wil lard's bulk would prove a disadvan too i n,- j i .m.i. i r-.t 'aw ,i nn, it, nun mom i aot lai enougn to avow being knocked out. Dr. Gunsaulus.

Beecherwasa! great musician, thd'he would not have laid SO His WOlds full Of Vowels 1 heard him as he stood looking into the dead face of our beloved Lincoln, ts he said: 'Four years ago, oh Illinois, we took from ycur bosom a man un known and of the people. Today we etura him to you, a mighty conquer or.' 'Mr. Gladstone for three and a half veais stood for the people, ana like the thunder of the sea and the lashing on the coast his el-ueuce pleaded 'heir cause in Parliament, and those who had spurned him, shouted and bricked for him and became the greatest supporters of the Parliament of Great Britain. "Another portrait you will find of Gladstone. It is hung In the dining j room of an ancestral palace, as long as this room, on the walls ot which hang the portraits ot kings, who ought to have hung long before, noblemen, princes of the blood, and above all poets, orators, statesmen, inventors, Ilscovercrs, old see. dogs of mighty rltaln, fair and beautiful gentlemen and ladies of renown, and kalghta of tome old crusade, and above all there stands William Gladstone. And he Is painted in the heighth, the zenith of his power, Tho orator died, and we hare a new man, tho statesman, his lips move, and there issues forth yel low tipped words of fire. The orator Is completely under the spell of the man's Intensity. The man know where he Is going. Here is the man who has directed Oreat Britain along i wonderful liflo. "Gladstono was a wonderful student of other things, for Instance, China, and made a very valuablo collection of ware which he later Bold at a very large price. Socially he was a peer among men and women. He could talk lace with the ladies, describing to them the most beautiful patterns, patterns that they had never con ceived of. Ho never knew the differ ence between a monologue and dia logue. "He talked lace to the ladles until the men yawned and finally retired with a bored manner. You know peo ple are always bored bv what they do not understand. They retired to bed hoping that Gladstone would permit of their wlvps tq also retire before the morning hours.. "He was the same personality in foreign countries that he was at home. In Paris he spoke the language of Victor Hugo Three days later in Peril n he is not talking In the lan ruagse of McCauley hut is talking the language of Martin Luther. Go ten t'avs later to Italy and he Is talking th language of the Italians. "This Is the picture, first we see the mnn, the scholar, which seems to grow and throb with life. He stand between the past and the future, and Is master of them both. 4-f'ATK OF ILLINOIS. COt'NTY OF LA SALLE, as.
