NOTHING TO EQUAL BABY’S OWN TABLETS Remarkable Rise of Welsh King of Industry. In, the histor yof modern commerce are many romantic stories of self- made men who have risen from lowly stations to positions of affluence, eminence and title; but few more re- markable than that of Lord Glantawe, who has just died. This Welsh king of industry began his climb to the house of lords as a tin worker. It has been said that he could neither read nor write 'when he was 15. He attended night school at that age, in order to obtain a know- ledge of bookkeeping; and this in spite of the fact that he started work at 5 o’clock in the morning and was kept working until 8 o’clock at night. John Jones Jenkins, who became Lord Glantawe,'saw shining possibili- ties in tin. He learned all there was to learn about the tin plate trade, and Lord Glantawe soon became a mas- ter in the trade to which he subseâ€" quently owed his riches. Three times Mayor of Swansea, he ultimately enâ€" tered parliament, and it was in return for his public services that he was created a baron in 1906. Lord Glan- tawe’si business capabilities have been inherited by his two daughters, who are both directors of the Mumbles Railway and Pier companies, the Hon. Elaine Jenkins. the younger daughter, Elaine llenkins, the younger daughter, also controlling her father's extensive commercial ingerests in South Wales.

Previous to the Present War He Won zio, the Italian poet and patriot. Who knows the history of his passion for Italy and the widening circle of his love that shrines the Latin peoples, and can interpret the peculiar quality of his contributions to this last tense period in Italian history, knows best the story of why, with month on month of warning, Italy sent her leâ€" gions against her ancient enemy. Italian hopes have been welded into the symbolic personalities of two men: Garibaldi and D'Annunzio. Garibaldi was definitely the leader, setting his torch for Italy. But D'Ann‘unzio is the torch, made from the cumulative flames of the folk heart of Northern Italy, the artist’s gardener who lent his spirit for the showing of the emo- tion of his countrymen. He made a tremendous impression when, as na- tional poet, he was called to make the commemorative speech at the anniver- sary of the famous expedition of Gari- baldi that united the two Siciiies and gave back Naples to the Kingdom of Italy. A year ago one might have said that Garibaldi as a figure was losing lustre, and for years D’An-nunzio has been the voice of voices for Italy, his the mem- ory that could not forget, the brightest mirror of Italy's half buried hopes. There has been no period in the whole of his life when he has not been D’Annunzio the patriot. He was that in the days of his earliest humble journalism. Through all his work he has missed no chance to celebrate the greatness, past and future, of his coun- try. It is in the preface to “La Nave" that he speaks of "the very bitter Adri- atic.” and later as “our sea” a little wisltfully, and dwells upon the better days that” it shall see and What free- dom it shall take. For these touches, disagreeable to Austria, the sale of the book was forbidden. In another place he makes a point of expressing a wish that an Italian aeroplane should fly over all of those lands where Italian was spoken, and the Italians through- out the Trentine secretly gloated over his daring. German capital was good to Italy, but Italians felt a kind of uneasiness lest they were paying for kindness by the relinquishment of national secret strings. Success in France. To Annunzio these banking prob- lems had no interestâ€"the great essen- tial lay in rousing Italy to a sense of the defence she must make against alien Kultur. D‘Annunzio’s success in France since he went four years ago to Paris has been one of the wonders of the literary and artistic world. At the beginning of the war D’An~ nunzio was in Paris, where he flung himself into an ardent sympathy with France, but with the growth of the pro-war sentiment in Italy, overwhelm- ed by his sense of the kinship of the latin peoples, he returned to Florence and passionately appealed for war on Austria. It was, many believe, really his influnce that swung his country over with the allies. selfépax‘ticularly as he i free from flattery.

Chester Thompson did not like to “speak pieces.” There are few boys who really enjoy declamation in lschool, but for Chester the day was Chester felt ashamed of this weakâ€" ness and tried hard to overcome it, but with poor success. Now he was face to face with something far worse than speaking in school. In only two days more he must stand in the vil- lage square, beside the new drinking fountain, and deliver an address beâ€" fore all the people gathered there. l How could he ever do it? particularly full of terrors. He was not shy or sensitive among his mates, but when he faced an audience, even though it was made up wholly of those same school friends, he promptly for- got what he had learned, and felt as if he were walking off a high cliff into space. A Several years earlier, Chester had joined the Band of Mercy, and his love for pets and all animals had led him to remain a member when many of the boys of his age had dropped out. Now he was its president, and this was Why they had selected him to speak at the dedication of the beauti- ful drinking fountain that had been given to the village. His pride would not let him evade the task, but how he dreaded it! With the help of his teacher he had prepared a brief ad- dress, and as he said it over and over, he was rather proud of it; but he felt absolutely sure that every word of it would fly from his mind in the panic of the moment. That is what Chester was thinking of one day while he was walking along the road just outside the village. He stopped to watch two men who were loading a cart with gravel. When the men had filled the cart, one of them spoke sharply to the horses and they plunged forward; but the rear wheels were deep in the ditch and the horses could not start the heavy load. The driver again called loudly to them, and struck them with his whip. As the willing span strained again at the tugs, one of them slip- ped and fell on its side. . Perhaps the horse was discouraged. Perhaps it was entangleEin the har- ness. Anyway, it lay there with quivering sides while the driver leap- ed forward and struck it again with his whip. It was a cruel thing and a foolish thing to do, and the sight was more than .Chester could bear in silence. Indignation boiled ‘within him, and before he really knew what he was doing, he found himself be- side the angry driver and speaking to him with a great earnestness that caused the man to turn in amazeâ€" ment. Chester could never remember just what he said. Fragments of things that he had learned at the Band of Merc;~ meetings and snatches of his carefully prepared address for the dedication of the drinking fountain v V V.""" v v ‘ ’«9e.¢.:.t.' it’s sure is be Pu M if it’s Chester and the driver helped the horse to its feet, patted its nose, and removed a little of the load, and then the man drove away with no more loud words or use of the whip. Chester said nothing about What had happened until after the dedica- tion exercises at the new fountain were over. When his teacher, among lmany others, congratulated him and ,told him how splendidly he had done, mingled with the simple and common- sense plea that he made for kinder treatment for the fallen horse. The anger left the driver's eye and he flushed under his tanned skin. “Well, you are right, young man,” he said. “And how you can -talkâ€"for a little fellow. he told her briefly about the driver and the fallen horse. “I knew I could do it after that,” he said. “It wasn’t simply that I found I could forget myself and talk when I had something to say, but it gave a wholly new meaning to the address that you helped me prepare.” “That is the only way that anyone can speak well in public," said his teacher; “that is, to have something to say that is worth saying, and to put the whole heart into it."â€"â€"Youth’s Companion. When Lord Roberts, not long be- fore his death. was asked whom among the generals of the British army he regarded as the ablest com- mander in the field, he replied, “Ian Hamilton.” The judgment was dis- putable, but not indefensible; and it was founded, not on Hamilton’s auda- city, but on his knowledge and on his coolness in directing the complex movements of the battlefield. Like General French, he has been a serious student of war all his life. He comes of a soldier strain, for his father once commanded the 92ntt1Highlanders, and an ancestor of his was aide-de-camp to the great Marlborough; and his natural aptitude for war has been cultivated, not merely by experience in the field, but by familiarity with Continental methods. As a youth he went to Germany, and from the old Regarded Him as the. Ablest Com- mander in the Field.

' He has not the imperturbable qual- ity of Sir John French, for his tem- perament is that of the artist, and he once confessed, half jestingly, but with a certain seriousness, that he had “never gone into battle without being in a blue funk and wondering how on earth he was to get throug ."â€"Alfred Gardiner, in the Atlantic. “BOBS” ADMIRED HAMILTON.
