A Tonic 'free .from Are you pale, weak, easily tired, and do you lack nerve power? Ask your doctor if Ayer's Sarsaparilla would not be good for you. He knows, and -will advise you wisely. Not a drop of alcohol in this medicine. It puts red corpuscles into the blood, gives steady, even power to the nerves; and all without stimulation. Make no mistake. Take only those medicines the best doctors endorse. Ask your own doctor. Prepared by Dr.-}. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., U. Si A. fighting spirit will unfit' him for higher responsibility someday? "Well,, he is a Celt, but his is not the b'-ind recklessness of a Gelt," replied Sir. John. "He is. one of the men to whom I .believe .politics is essentially, a gospel and not a game. Me is .a man, with a mission. With him it is 'The Cause' — the Cause first an.d the guerdon of popularity and glory afterwards if it but comes through the promotion of .the Cause. He is the diciplc of no political school of thought.. '.Re is; not cribbed, cabined, /confined, mcir bovjnd in foy' saucy doulbts and -dears/ : sprinvi.ns from «conomic formulae and doctrinaire principles.. He .has been in the fighting lino ever since hq entered Parliament; and home more than his ■shai>j of the heat and -burden of the d'ay. • Years, with their weight of | work and responsibility, have begun ' to las-hem his hair and leave their traces on h'is, '.brow, but hq seems to cai'ry enternal •summer— in his soul, and his laugh' and manner have all the spontaneity and freshness of a boy.' No man, I was told 3 was more personally popular in thi Houso of Commons, : and; certainly it seems safe to .say that no man is more wideband intensely popular with the masses of the peoplo of England. Ho counts for mart in tho future of British politics than any other wan. Nat mainly from his intellectual or ' oratorical qualities— for he. is no equal of Mr Asquith in intellectual g,rasp and pow/r.l. He lias mot that splendid re-, servq of power — that magnificent control of the right ward, tho expressive phrase, that command of stately lucidity which distinguishes the Prime Minist?.:} above all other m?.n. He is not Mr Winston Churchill's equal as a Parliamentary speaker., nor has he Sir Edward Grey's lofty and impressive personality. But hq has fixity and sincerity of purpose. He fe'cls his politics as, perhaps, no other British Minister does, save Sir Edward Grey., and it is from his heart he gets the courage and enthusiasm with which ho tackles such desperate, problems as that of 'his. . Insurance Bill. He ' can bs adroit and elusive whian necessary, but his. style is markedly a frankness which is very fascinating and disarming.". THE DIRECT ANSWER. New Zealand's delegates had occasion to bring befor^ Mr Lloyd George a matter of the utmost importance to •.he Dominion, amd this provided an illustration, of tho quality ■ of which Sir John Findlay spoke. "We. pressed, upon Ms Lloyd George," .rcmarksd the Attorney-General, "the iniquity of tho exis'iinig system! of double taxation under which his whole income in one of the colonies, is taxfully on its amount, both .in England and in the land whvere the income is made.- Ho did 'not attempt to defend this upon any broad o"j finspun principles, of justice.. He made no eo:it to. cloud thev;issue and so .escape our point. He simply frankly .old us how many million's the British Exchequer would lose, by the concession we. asked rjnd said, 'Gentlemen, we cannot afford it, and on ':hat g-round, alone it is useless to discuss tho matter fui'ther.' It is this spirit of courageous frankness which wins him so .many friends and so much loyal support. It "is constku-. ■tional with him — not . mere policy. But whil* a- s.cotfd of Qualities mark him out for leadership, his friends' contemplate such a contingency with some uneasiness-.. He has the impulsiveness of the Celtic temperament., Naturally a tender-hearted man ho is on the ono hand, rathetr boo fond of concos;-.ion as an act of Trace, while, on the other hand uriictr 'sufficient provocation, or fixsm ioce fervent devotion. to a particular orincip-e, he will resist compromise Ho tho point of obstinacy. His present leader, indeed, in a spe.ech he re -.ently delivered, 'touched 'upon sonr: of his dfects, when he said: 'My co 1 .- -'ea.guc has a most sympathetic nature. I sometimes am disposed to ••-hink he is too improsionnblc when appeals . are made 'to -him for a concession.' "Under 'Mr Asquith, who is the imbodlment of unemotional, sober judgment and sagacity, one wise? to 'enow tho limits of resistance and -the bounds determiniing. concession, Mil" Lloyd George' has bdon larsrely protected from the defects of hip qualities.. But should .the day come when his hand must take the holm, that Spirit at omce davnng, impatuqus and concessive, and 'that at times unpractical a-nd obstinate resistanco of his, may -lead to the political maelstrom. Bui. who cap.- tell? H" has in th's past risen to his respons. : .b.il'.Ue,s with splendid courage amd clf-mastein', i\nd lie may have the power, should the ne.ed arise; of subduing; • the.se weaknesses to the necessities of tho highet office,"
