COM Grano BA_.isßt.aY.—" The New Idea '■' repeats the following Btoiy ..-out the late Marquie : An ilierly Liberal Unionist baronet, of somewhat Lilliputian stature, was among the considerable number rf invited guests to a garden parly at Hatfirld. In the course of the afternoon, Lord SalisI ury laid hold of the baronet's arm, saying : •I want a quiet word with you." lt was at the time of oue of the " regrettabln mci dents" of the war, and the guest, who had just returned from a hasty visit to South Africa, was delighted, though scarcely surprised, to find that tho Premier's nex', remark, as they turned aside, showed a kteu desire to obtain hia view of the situa ion. The baronet at once poured forth hi_ critioisms on the recent events of the war with freedom and certainty that are tbe character • istios of the civilian, and the Premier honoured him with by far the longest con* versation of the whole afternoon On rejoining the family group, his nephew remarked to Lord Salisbury: "1 am particularly glad that you recognised Sir , but what did you fiud to talk about for so long a time?" "I don't know what you mean," was the reply," I never spoke to the man in my life. I have just been having a long and important talk with Lord Robert.. And I certainly found bim thoroughly outspoken." For Bronchial Cough, take Woods' Great Peppermint Core, Is Od and 2* 6d every where,
