Disraeli died at hla home in Curzon street on the 10th of April, 1881. D ISRAELI'S story of Vivian Grey, like others of his novels, deals largely with politics, and contains character portraits of well known persons of the period. When Vivian Grey reached the. ago of Ave years It was discovered that the treatment of a doting mamma and overattentlve nurses had spoiled the child, nnd It wns decided that he had better be sent away to school; when however, the subject wns under dis cussion, there wns a strenuous protest from Vivian against curls and going to school. "I won't . have my hair curl, h mamma ; tno uoys win laugn at inu, bawled tho spoiled youngster, "Charles Appleyard told me so ; his hair curled, nnd the boys called him girl. Papa! give me some more claret; I won't go to schooll" But In spUe of these protests he was sent to school, where he stayed some four years, when It was decided that he should remain nt home for a time and do his studying there ; but he was later sent off again, this time to tho school of Mr. Dallas nt Burnsley vicar age. The rumor of the arrival of "a new fellow" circulated rapidly through the Inmates of the vicarage, and tho fifty young rascals were preparing to quiz the newcomer when the schoolroom door opened and Mr. Dallas, accom panied by Vlvlnn Grey, entered. "A dandy, by Jovo!" whispered one. "What d knowing se$ out," squenked a second; "Mummy sick," growled a third; this last exclamation was, how ever, a scandalous libel, for certainly no being ever stood In a pedagogue's presence with more perfect sang-froid, and with n bolder front, than did, nt this moment, Vivian Grey. The young savages at Burnsley vic arage had caught a Tartar; In a very few days Vivian was decidedly the most popular fellow In the school ; "he was so dashing! so devilish good-tempered, so completely up to every thing!" Vivian developed talents of a lit erary mature which inspired great ad miration among his fellow pupils, and also In the mind of! Mr. Dnllas. But there are other attributes which will win the admiration of n school of real boys; and this proved to be tho case af Burnsley vicarage, when, as so often happens, some of the boys, jealous of Vivian's popularity, found, as they thought, nn opportunity to triumph over hlra. There wns troublo between the followers of Vivian and those of Mallet, the head usher; one of the latter made an Insulting remark to Vivian which he promptly resented and the hnttle was on, and Vlvlnn Grey showed that he could fight aB well as write. Vivian's chief characteristic was a burning ambition; with this he had a great amount of courage and self-as surance, nnd besides these nttrlbutes, tact combined with a pleasing per sonal presence nnd manners. At a dinner In his father's home, when Vivian wns still a very young man, he made tho acquaintance of the marquess of Carabns. no came to tho rescue of tho marquess and his opinions In nn after-dinner discussion, during which he quoted n whole pas- snge from Bollngbroke In support of tho marquess; this waH challenged bjr Vivian's father, who knew his son's habit of quoting the opinions of oth ers will")! wore more often his own V WX,"i?$vSJsv opinions put Into the mouth of some ono else; so Mr. Grey, looking smiling ly nt his son, remarked: "Vlvlnn, my dear, can yon tell mo In what work of Bollngbroke I enn And tho eloquent passage you have Just auotcd?" "Ask Mr. Hargrove, sir," rer:iil the son, with perfect coolness; then turning to Mr. Hnrgrave he said: "You know you nro reputed to bo the most pro found political student In the house, nnd more Intimately acquainted than I nny other with the works of Bollng- . broke." i Mr. Hnrgrave know ho such tiling ; but he wns a weak man, and, Beduccd ( by the compliment, he wns afraid to prove himself unworthy of It by con fessing his Ignorance of the passage. ( Vivian carried this same self-assurance Into politics and won mnny trlumphB by tnctlcs of the kind. He attuched himself to the marquess, and wns responsible for his entering poli tics, spending much time nt the estate of the marquess, "Chateau Deslr," with large house parties of famous persons, some Interesting to him nnd some otherwise. Among the guests at one time, wns a relative of the marquess, a young . matron, Mrs, Felix Lorraine, who was , much Impressed with Vivian and tiled 1 her charms upon him, but to no avail ; , then In pique, she attempted Intrigue to muko trouble between the marquess and Vlvlnn, which she came very near to accomplishing. Meantime Vivian kept his eyes nnd thoughts for the pawns upon the po litical chess bonrd, among which was a Mr. Frederick Cleveland, who at tracted his attention, and when tho marquess' party was looking for n lender, Vivian suggested the name of Mr. Clevelnnd. Now It happened that these two, the marquess and Cleve land, had been at odds, which Vivian did not nt first realize; when he was alone he said to himself: "What have I done? I nm sure that Lucifer may know, for I do not. This Cleveland Is, I suppose, but a man ; I saw the f eeblo fools were wavering, and to save nil, made a leap In the dark. Well, Is my skull cracked? We shall see." Again wns Vivian's assurance to the fore; he was certainly "nil things to nil men." He had the power with his silver tongue, of conciliating1 many persons, but not so Mr. Clevelnnd. The first great trouble came to Vivian when, after many attempts at diplomacy and the political game, he estranged both the marquess and Mr. Cleveland; the latter while under the Influence of wine, met Vlvlnn nt their club and In a fit of anger struck hlra nnd a duel was the result. Vivian llred Into the air, hoping that the nffnir would end safely, but Cleveland lnlst- ed upon nnother shot; Vivian shot at rnntom, but his bullet pierced Cleve land's heart. A great remorse seized Vivian nnd for mnny weeks he was 111 with fovcr at his father's home, under the loving care of his mother. "But the human mind can mnstor many sorrows," nnd after n desperate relapse and nnother miraculous rally, Vivian Grey arose from his bed. He left England and traveled In Germany, visiting, among other plnces, Frankfort during the time of the fair. On n bright sunshiny afternoon, while crossing the Square, Vivian wis attracted by an excited crowd of peo plo around n conjurer, whose nppear ance was of the oddest kind, nnd held Vivian's nttentlon ; ho was called Ess- per George. Later ho became serving man to Vivian, who had offered to protect the fellow against the crowd lie had In some way angered. Vlvlnn nnd Esspcr George had many lively adventures during their travels, ull of which experiences, whether of political or' romance, gave Vivian new Ideas of the world, and proved to be a most interesting school for him. Ho one day rescued a German nobleman from a wild boar, and was Invited to visit at his castle; while there a ro mantic attachment between a young German Indy of title engaged Vivian's nttentlon for a time, but his thoughts, In spite of himself, constantly re turned to two of his English friends. Like many a knight and his serving mnn of olden times, Vivian and Essper George found themselves on several occasions .In very dangerous situa tions; sometimes It was Vlvlum to tho rescue and at others Essper. On leaving that part of Germany where he had been entertained as hon ored guest of his titled acquaintances, Vivian passed through a smnll settle ment where there were going on prei nratious for a wedding, and Vivian dis covered that the bridegroom was an , old friend from Heidelberg, Eugeno ron Konongsteln, and he wns per-, suaded to stop and assist at the wed-1 ding. All wns so quiet and peaceful there that It set Vivian to speculating about his own future. In the morning the travelers wero on their wuy again; tho dny being In tensely hot nnd sultry they withdrew to tho shade of the woods, and while resting there Vivian asked Essper about his history. For a time thoy sat in quiet conversation, then were rude ly Interrupted by the approach of a terrific storm; during which a lake on tho top of the mountain burst nnd be came a falling ocean, carrying all be fore It. . 1 Essper's horse being swept from him lie climbed Into n tree, but the lightning stuck, felling tho tree and killing Essper then "Vivian's horsu with a maddened snort, dnshed down the hill, his master clinging to his neck; finally standing upright In the air, ho flung his rider nnd fell dead," Copyrleht, 1919, by tho 1'ost Publishing.

In Salem, Mass., n resident sued tho town gas light company for damages caused by the killing of five shade trees through the escape of gas from u leaky main. A verdict for $1,000 against the company was rendered $200 a tree. The decision Is fcald to have been awaited with a (mod deal of Interest by surrounding towns, for tree killing from this cause Is a com mon thing.

They have to him, especially If he planted nnd cared for them, a sentimental value that dol lars cannot measure. They have added beauty to his home and he has counted them among his treasures. To a real tree lover, u beautiful tree' whether his own or not, seems almost to pos sess a personality of Its own and to see It struggle for life and gradually die, brings real sorrow.

TIME NOT WHOLLY WASTED Youth Missed Acquiring Academlo Knowledge, but Probably Learned Something Worth While. The pursuit of learning Is not al ways an easy matter, as n young stu dent found who set forth from Bris bane to study nt Edinburgh, for when he reached the port of Fnlmouth ho found that, owing to having taken 200 days on the Journey by sea, the term wns over.

They found nn old berry-mill but the story Is too long to tell.
