A few months ago Lord Salisbury JWayed the destinies of the British Empire. To-day he is practically .'orgotten. even by the people of his jwn country. The long accounts of ais career which were published Khon he resigned the Premiership read for all the world like obituary aoticos, and are remembered as such. Lord Salisbury has always shunned notoriety, and now that he has re- tired from politics he is more re- ticent than ever about his private life. l'>w people know how he is spending the evening of a life di>- loted to the service of his monarch and his country. In politics the late Premier was regarded as a bittcr-tongued cynicâ€" '"the master of the art of jeers and Houts and sneers," Disraeli called him. In society ho was the aristo- crat above all things, haughtily scorning the "new rich" and the "smart set." Many of his supporters in the Ilouse of Lords and the House of Commons were bitterly incensed be- cause he failed to recognize them in the street or the club, although they had been introduced to him and had «pokon to him freqiiently. Not only is Lord Salisbury near-sighted and absent-minded, but ho has a bad taiomory for facesâ€" a rare defect in a public man. I It is said that he once asked Mr. 'Balfour, when visiting the House of •Coumions. "Who is that man who spoke so intelligently itist now ?" iThat man was Walter Long, the Minister for Agriculture, a member of X>ord Salisbury's own Cabinet. j THIS AHSEXCK OF JUN'D 'is partly assumed in order to ward olT intrusive intimacies. Similarly. Lord Salisbury's apparent cynicism â- and hauteur are only a mask cover- ing his real nature. Uo to llatliold, in Hertfordshire, iWhere his favorite ancestral home is situated, and ask the people there about him. They will tell you of a new Lord Salisburyâ€" of the real Lord {Salisbury, of whom the world never dreams. The statesman might for- get one of liis own Ministers, but he never fails to recognize the country people who live round his home at Hattield. He knows them all. from the oldest grandfather to the young- est child, and ho takes the kwnest interest in their lives. He may be cold and distant to a foreign Prince of doubtful character or a mw peer of the realm, who has made his money out of beer and bought a coronet with his sptire cash, but he never holds aloof from the poorest of his neighbors at Hatfield. When the writer was staying at tiiat place as a boy in July, 1891. he saw Lord Salisburyâ€" then Prime Minister of Knglantl â€" sitting down on a ho.x in a blacksmith's shop in the village and helping the black- smith's little girl to mend a broken toy. Next week he entertamed the CJerman Kmperor at Ilatlield House. Ten years afterward, on revisiting Elatlield, the writer asked an old vil- ' .ager what he thought of Lord i Salisbury. j "Think of him, sir â- ?" was the re- ply. "Why ! he's the finest gentle- aian Ood ever made. I don't know iphat we should do without him. I lo believe he knows every soul in '.he place liy name, and he has ne\er >een too liuisy to help any of us Then we have needed help. And -ady Salisbury wa.'i A lUUK GOOD WOMAN. Icr death was a terrible blow to he poor old n\an. Raie lovers the.v rere all their lives. I grumbled to \is Lordsliip once about times being lard in my busine.'is. He laughed in ia cheery way and said : " 'Hard times don't matter much, fohnson, when a man has a good Mfe like yoiifs or mine. You may mrdly v:-Hlit it. but I was hard up flkjseU when I was a young man. uat after my uinrriago. I only had a small allowance as a younger son. and had to eko it out by writing articles for the newspapers and re- views. But we were never worried by our shortness of money. It de- pends on a man's wife whether pov- erty is irksome or not.' "I rem.ember once." the old vil- lager went on, "a young girl was jilted by her lover after they had gone together for years. Lady Sal- isbury, who liked the girl, was much upset, and told her husband about it. His Lordship went straight to the young man and told him he had done wrong and ought to marry the girl. The young fellow said he'd like to. but he was onlj' earning twelve shillings a week and couldn't sup- port a family. His Lordship got him a good job that very day, and they were married before the week was out. They are as happy now as any husband and wife could be, and you may be sure that woman doesn't forget Lord Salisbury when she says her prayers. 'That's onl.v an example, sir. of what his Lordship has done for the people hereabouts. If a girl gets juarried, she is always sure of A ft-EDDINCr PRESEXT from his Lordship ; and the old people know that he won't let them end their days in the workhouse if he can help it. He's a rich man, but the amount of money he gives away in charity here must make a big hole even in an income like his. But that's not the only way he helps the people. If he sees a man doing a job clumsily, he will stop and show him how to do it proper- ly. He's a rare handy man with tools. I've seen "him patch up a fence as well as I could do it my- self, and I'm a carpenter by trade." This character given to Lord Sal- isbury as a handy man was cor- roborated by a visit to Hatfield House. Every room in the mansion bears evidence of the old nobleman's fondness for pottering about with tools and his remarkable ingenuity in using them. Ha'i.lield House dif- fers widely from the average English country seat in being as well equip- ped with modern conveniences as a good hotel. Lord Salisbury is a Conservative in politics, and still more conserva- tive in social matters, but ho is thoroughly progressive and up-to- date in his private life. He has de- signed and litted up several dumb waiters and el>.x-trical conveniences to lessen the work of his servants. Ho was the lirst nobleman in Eng- land to use electric lights at his country house. He installed the Vdant himself, taking advantage of a stree.m that runs through his park to get water power. The "oest electrical engineer in England could not have done the work better than this aged statesman, who stands in the front rank of scientists in the domain of Ii.XPERIMKNT.\L PHYSICS. Lord Salisbury has never recover- ed Irom the loss he sutfered in 1899 by the death of Ids wife. Like most Knglishmeu. he is reticent about the feelings of his heart. He makes no parade of emotion. Hut once, at a church meeting at Ilatlield held to pay honor to a local philanthropist who had died, he spoke of the sor- row which had come into his own life. "Wlien a man has done his work, and those whom he \Sves pass one by one behind the veil." said he. "there is nothing Iwtter for" him than to die a.s our friend has died, full of years and leaving behind him a memory fragrant with good deeds. " The people of Hatfield say that it was a beautiful sight to see Lord and Lady Salisbury together. the wife so proud of her husband. the husband so tender and courteous to his still beautiful wife. They were lovers to the end. It was Lady Salisbury who taught her husband to take an interest in the people of the village and help ' them in all their small alTairs. After ' her death, he ceased for a time to do this. He gave money as befoi-e, but he was not to bo seen in the {village talking with the old people and patting the children on the head, Siich time as he coulfl spare from the aiTaim of State was spent in his laboratory studying cvperi mental j physica. But since. _W» retirement from politics he has returned to all I bis old ' PHILANTHROPIC WOHK. He takes pleasure in looking after the welfare of his dead wife's pen- sioners. There is a blind girl at Hatfield to whom she used to be kind. Lord SaUsbury has made her independent for life, and pays her a , visit nearly every day when he is staying at Hatfield. So it is with j many others. I One of the marked traits in Lord I Salisbury's character is his dutesta- I tion of cruelty to children or aai- Imals. In Hatfield they still tell a tale of his horsewhipping a burly farm laborer in the days when he was Lord Cranbornc. He caught tlie man beating a child and thrash- ed him so severely'that he was ill in i'< ! for a fortnight. No man is employed on the Cecil e.-<;ates unless he is known by Lord Salisljury to be a good husband and father. He has no use for any man who_ illtreats an animal, even slight- ly. "Not long ago he dismissed one of his grooms for whipping a dog. In the summer of 1901 a party of cockney pleasureseekers drove past the grounds of Hatfield House in a wagonette. The fagged horses were flogged cruelly to make them gallop. Lord Salisbury happened to be standing at liis gate. He at once ordered his carriage and followed the party until he met a policeman and gave them in charge for cruelty to animals.
