Show He Got Out. (New York World.) Dr. John H. Girdner, the Newyork-itls Newyork-itls man, vows that an intimate friend of his saw and heard this in Birmingham, Birming-ham, England: Joseph Chamberlain was delivering a rousing political speech in the biggest hall in town. It was so packed that not one more human being could jam in. nor could any one get out. Suddenly, in the middle of the hall, a scowling man arose and howled: "What did Mr. Gladstone say in 1872?" "Shame!" "Put him out!" yelled the crowd. Three husky Britons hurled the inter rupter a few yards and more and more hustled him to the street. As he was picking, himself up and brushing off the dirt, he grinned pleasantly pleas-antly at a man who had followed him comfortably from the hall, and asked: "What did Mr.; Gladstone say - in 1872?" "Oh, I don't know," he replied, "and I don't care. I had a terrible toothache tooth-ache and I couldn't butt my way out through that crowd, and the only thing to do was to get thrown out." |
