Wo Eo Gladstone The grand career of one of the greatest men of modern times, now drawing to its close in the ordinary course of nature, is one of the greatest object lessons which can be set for the youth of to-day. Not all can hope to attain such eminence, for not all are endowed by nature, with such wonderful talents, and backed by a rugged physique, which can endure the strain of an active life in the public service for so many years. Education Knowledge Is the foundation for success in a great career. Thousands of dollars are expended yearly by men of wealth, that their sons may be fitted for the life it Is hoped they will lead. But there are other ways open for the resolute youth who will diligently apply himself to the advantages he finds at hand. The Greatest of These May safely be said to be bound up In the twenty-eight volumes which go to make up the new up-to-date edition of the wonderful ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, which for some time has been offered to our readers at very low Introductory rates.

He said : "We shall contend, and feel that we can show, that our ui:m (Shemwell) is guilty of nothing in the world not on6 single thing." This means that selfdefense will be the plea ; that Sneuiwell was on on his way home, the Paynes, i r. and his son, being in front of him ; that suddenly Dr. Payne, Sr., turned towards him ; thinking that his life was in danger and that father and son intended to kill him ,Sbllc-mw fired to save his own life.
