He exhibited pluck In coming before an American audience to say so many good things of John, at this particular time, when the Venezuelan question Is now up before us In threatening atti tude towards the Monroe doctrine. He take the same view of the English people which Is held by the most Intelligent and enlightened Americans. But I desire to say that, when Americans are making an estimate of John's characteristics they should not Include the whole Brit ish people, as sponsor for John's traits. The Scottish people, for Instance, al though united with England as a nation, are of a different type from John in re gard to character In several respects. I shall mention but one trait in which they differ radically, viz., aggressive ness. They are not so aggressive as the English. I might add here I know by personal observation of the English people In this country that especially if they are of adult age when they set tle here they do not assimilate with American ideas so readily as the Scotch people do. Americans who have had op portunities of observing this have en dorsed this fact. In speaking of Eng land's product of great men of this gen eration the chancellor mentioned Glad stone, Livingston and Salisbury- Now the first two are Scotch. Probably Gladstone was born in England, but his father was Scotch. Edinburgh was the home of the family for several genera tions previous, and we know he repre- take part.

He has reached the fifth age of man, which he himself so beautifully describes in his famous prose ioem, 'Life.' which appeared, originally in Harrison Grey Fiske's Dramatic Mirror. Indeed, it may be said that he is describeing him self in the last few sentences. Do you remember it?

Chancellor MacLean delivered his first lecture in Lincoln at the Congregation al church Wednesday evening for the benefit of the city hospital. His subject was "John Bull."
