Show Tin: London Speeder calls Mr. Stanley not only the greatest traveler trav-eler of the age, but also Its shortest tempered man. It likens him to an American in his readiness to pick a quarrel, anJ accuses him of behaving be-having more like a bumptious boy than like a well-balanced person; and, w orst of all, it charges the defect de-fect of Stanley's temper upon "his training as an American reporter. This character, in its estimation, "ever fighting fiercely for his own hand, has the savage quality in the quicknets of his emotions, of Joy and of sorrow, of love and of hate." This is bad for tho American re-lrter, re-lrter, and it tells badly on Mr. Stanley, but tlie Spooler is kind enough to take back all this depreciation, depreci-ation, sa far as It concerns Mr. Stanley, by declaring that "he Is really a great man, and perhaps he is endeared to us all the more because be-cause of those features of his character char-acter which show that he is not altogether al-together exempt from the Inflrma-ties Inflrma-ties of common humanity."- |
