During the past forty- eight hours the end was seen to be inevitable,. the life of Eng- land's -ex~Prenifer -being ‘sustained” only by the constant use of oxygen. Even the use of oxygen failed of effect as the even. ing advanced, and soon after the shadows had crept’ up from the valley and en- shrouded the dull red walls of Hatfield House the distinguished statesman, mak- ihg the last effort of his life, turned slightly toward his favorite daughter, Lady Gwendolin Cecll, who was kneeling last. Lord Edward Cecil had been “warned early this afternoon by telegraph that the end was near. All of the other members | of his Lordship's family had gathered at the bedside. Dr..Douglass, who had at- tended Lord Salisbury, was informed by telegraph this morning.that it was use- less fof him to come, and he was there- fore absent at the end. WATCHERS AT HATFIELD. The village of Hatfleld, which stiil re- talns many features of the feudal period, was filled with anxious residents awaiting the news of his Lordship's demise. The great Hatfleld House, hid- den behind the screen of pine trees, was lighted at every window and gave no sign of the approaching- fatality. Groups of watchers vlustered under the Elizabethan arches of the lodge gates, anxiously ques- tioning * each passenger from - Hatfield | House. ’ Later the news came, when a hatless seryant dashed down the graveled road- way, saying as he passed, “‘He has gone,” and then disappeared in the church. Soon thereafter the bell from the tower above tolled slowly, and the villagers at the street corners uncovered in acknowledg- ment to the passage of their neighbor and friend, England's greatest statesman.

Soon after his election he was chosen a fellow of He made his debut before the House and nation in a protest against a pro- posed measure for reforming the great university. His effort on this occasion attracted much attention in the House and outside as well and from that fime forward his support or opposition was reckoned as a potent factor in the fate of every bill of political or public nature, | especially those affecting the Interests| of the established church. A patrician by descent through many generations, he was noted for his uitra- aristocratic views and extreme Tory prin- ciples and from these he never swerved during his long career and was rarely if ever In sympathetic touch with the masses of the people. The young Lord did not confine his ef- forts and work to the floor of the House. Of necessity it was otherwise, especlally after hiz marriage in 187 to Miq; Geor- glaa Alderson. She brought im no dowry, and his father, who was much of- fended at his choice, insisting that he should have married an heiress, refuged to increase the meager allowance which | he had before made to him. This threw the young man on his own resources and forced him to supplement his small In- come in some honorable and inconspicu- ous way. He chose the field of journalism and from 1857 until 1865, when by the death of his elder brother he became Viscount Cranborne, he made his living as a writer for the press. His essays, political, so- cigl and economic, were features of the Saturday Review and the Quarterly, and his leaders found frequent place on the editorial pages of the Morning Chronicle and the Times. PEER OF THE REALM. Future Premier Takes His Seat With the Lords. On the death of his father April 12, 1868, he succeeded to all his hereditary titles and estates and took his seat in the House of Lords as a peer of the realm. There he was soon recognized as having but the one superior. Beacons- fileld was the master mind and- central figure of that fixed assemblage, as Glad- stone was of the lower house. In the shadows of these two men the full pro- portions and possibilities of Sallsbury’'s mental and personal powers could hardly be discerned. Except on some few questions Lord Pienipotentiary stantinople. The ultimate result of this conference, { during which Lord Salisbury displayed the very highest grade ‘of diplomatic in- stinct, was no reflection on the work done by the conference. The Grand Ottoman Couneil, with but one dissenting volce, January 18, 1877, rejected the proposals of the conference of Con- the powers, and war followed soon after.

Their | work is history. They gained much for { Britain at little cost, and Britons were | pleased. | From this time forward Lord Salisbury's part in the conduct.of Great Britain's forelgn relations was.so comprehensive as to preclude here more than the mere recital, in ordér of the more important acts and events. in April, 183, he went out of office with his party after defent'at the ‘general elec- } tlon. At a meeting of Conservative peers | Lield ‘April 9, 1881, after the death of Lord | Béaconsfield, Lord Salisbury was elected to lead the party in the*House of Lords. He opposed, but finally accepted the | Irish land act of 1881, fought Gladstone's Egyptlan policy, compassed the rejection of the county. franchise bill in 1884 and represented his party at the conference of opposing leaders, which led to the formilig of the redistribution bill of 1885. On June §-of' ‘that vear the Gladstone Ministry ‘went out and Lord Salisbury be- came Prémier of Great Britain.” His term was ghort, however, only 227 days. On . February 4, 188, Salisbury gave place to Gladstone and eoncentrated his energies on fighting the home rule policy of that'statesman. On August 3, 183, he again became Premier and held the place fof more than six years. Lord Randolph Churchill’s resignation from the Cabinet in 1892 led to a reconstruction of that body and Lord Salisbury fook to him- self the direct management of the For- elgn Affiairs Office.

Germany had forced the ninety-nine year lease of Kiaochau and Russia had thereupon seized Port Arthur and Tallenwan, later securing the same concession made to Germany. Lord Sal- isbury demanded and was granted pos- session of Weihalwei on the same terms, securing also at the same time the open- ing of all inland waters to navigation for vessels of all nations; the opening of va- rious additional treaty ports, the assur- ance that no portlon of the provinces ad- joining the Yang-ste-Kiang Valley should be alienated to any other power, and that as long as British trade continued to ex- ceed that of any other nation the Inspec- tor General of Maritime Trade should be a British subject. He glso secured the concession of about 200 Square miles of land on the Kowloon Peninsula, opposite Hongkong. Th‘e capture of Khartoum in 1898 and the subsequent death of the Khalifa and the conquest of his territories, with the appearnce of a French force at Fashoda, on the Upper Nile, brought up the neces- sity of a settlement of the rights of the two countries in that quarter of Africa. Lord Salisbury made certain ‘concessions in the Niger Hinterlund, and the French Government relinquished all claims to any part of the Nile Valley. In 1899 the relations with the South African republics were ruptured, and the yet fresh in memory Boer war ensued. The British Government was forced to put a larger force of men by four times | than she had ever done before, and pro-| vide a total of over $1,350,000,000 of cost before -she could bring the brave and hardy burghers to terms. Yet the Minis-| try was we.l sustained in Parllament and by the people through the whole of this trying period of nearly three years' dura- tion. RETIRES WITH HONORS. Salisbury Takes Rank With Greatest of Britain’s Statesmen. The Boxer outbreak in China in 190 and subsequent events in that quarter, the final outcome of which is yet in abeyance, added much to Lord Salisbury’'s cares during the last years of his Ministry. Then the death of her late Majesty the Queen reminded him that his generation was passing away. He would probably have resigned long before he did but that he was moved by a desire to bring the Boer war to an honorabie close before leaving the helm of the ship of state. His retirement, coming as it did when Britain was full of rejolcing at the con- | clusion of the war and engrossed with | the preparation for King Edward’s coro- | nation, made less of a jar in the political world than it would have done a year | before, for instance. In fact, it had al-| ready been discounted, and his successor, his nephew, A. J. Balfour, practically chosen. Labouchere largely voiced the sentiment of the British public when he said that it was “a matter of absolute indifference whether the uncle or the nephew was at the head of the Govern- | ment."”" Lord Salisbury bore many titles and honors, some hereditary and others won | by his own efforts. On his return from | the Berlin conference in 1878 the Queen | | conferred upon him the order of the Gar-| | ter, and he, with Beaconsfleld, was given | 'the freedom of the city of London, and later (1881) of Glasgow.

In July, 1866, while yet in the House of Commons, he made his entry into ‘the executive branch of the Government by accepting the tender from Lord Derby, then Prime Minister, of the portfolio of Becretary of State for Indla.

He was again appointed to the same office when Mr. Misraell returned to the Premiership in 1874 .

T has been said repeatedly that any woman, who is not positively deformed, can, with tact and delicacy, win any man she sets her heart upon, but—can she? How many women have smilingly accepted the compliment of the assertion in public, only to ponder the ques- tion anxiously, oft times hopelessly, in the privacy of the boudoir. What an old, old, problem it is, to be sure, but oh, how appallingly new to most of the gentler sex who will read these lines. Matrimony —the right man—a comfortable, happy home. It is the one great prob- lem of a woman's life from thé cradle to the grave. They are the ideals that women have always cherished, always will. And -how many, or rather, how few, realize their ideals. It is a problem that few men can understand, or, worst of all, ever try to understand. Man. with his lordly assumption of all the prerog- atives of life worth having, may woo and win where and when he list- eth. But to woman—opassive, receptive woman—what is given? She must wait her lover’s coming. She may not seek, as man does, that which pleases her most. And out of the lovers who choose to woo she must make what poor selection is afforded her, and, burying the ideal. give all the fluttering, clinging hope of the future to shaping the real into something akin to the god of her dreams. And in this world of sham and show. of the mad chase for wealth. the problem has become vastly more vexatious than it ever was before. Even though it has been long accepted as something akin to a ioke. it happens all too often in real life, that she loves the poor man. and must choose between him and a wealthier though less undesirable suitor. Perverse woman, say the knowi"® and the warldly; but only the girl yvho has been confronted with such 2 problem can realize the heartburn- ing, the sublime emotional tragedy of it all. Whichever way she chooses some great part of the ideal is shattered and—what then? . Every woman who reads is s¢¢king the answer to just such a ques- tion. Just a few of those who write have tried to answer it for her. Such a one is the “Half-Hoyr-Storiette” in the next Sunday Call, en- titled “When Jabberwock Rode.” Curious title, isn't it? Well. it is a curious story, and one that answe™ the problem as—well. read it and see if you would answer it that Way.

It js called “Betwixt- Dad and Joe.” but the problem before the girl is not exactly what you would infer from that title—indeed not by a great deal. Nor can vou guess what man- ner of finesse she used to bring about a happy ending—the only sort an ardent girl will ever acceot. Still another is “Under the Car of the Juggernaut.” but the gir] in this Story did not have things as much her own way as you might think she did from such a title. Or does that title convey as clear a concention of what a remarkable story this is as a well selected title should?
