“I fed them,” was the reply.
Burnes boasts of aa iron constitution,
and he requires it, for, night and day,
whenever called upon to do battle for the
cause to which he is devoting his life,
"Jack,” ash’s friends affectionately call
him, is at his post. For days at a time
his wife does not see him. He does not
“agitate” for agitation’s sake, nor for the
purpose of “corralling” votes for himself
or someone else, but because he has the
welfare of his fellow-creatures at heart. If
he enters the honse of commons as a mem
ber for Battersta, he will have done so as
a true representative of the wotkingmen
ar.d at their behest, and because he feels
that he will be able to serve them better
at Westminister than at public meetings.
He lives within the limit of £IOO a year.
