The CITY OF JERUSALEM THE POLICE CHECK RAID


London, March 2i The woman
suffFagists attempted yesterday a
demonstration raid on parliament
more important aud NOR. numerous
than any of the previous efforts. The
police. however. had timely warning
and made preparations that resulted
in making III. demonstration some
what ineffective, The only rcsul, was
some amusing disorderly scnffling
and the arrest of nearly seventy
suffragists. who were at once iihor-
ated on bail
Previous To the demonstration an
Indignation meeting which was
largely attended by the so-called
"suffragists" and their friends was
held at Caxion hall. where the
speakers denounced the house OF
commons for sitting the Dickinson
woman suffrage bills The raid was
led by Lady Barberton and was as
sisted by the most prominent women
who took part in the previous raids
The women drove up in wagons
and after prometading before the
houses of parliament, stormed the
entrance of the house of commons,
where the police reinforcements,
drawn up for the occasion, awaited
the onslaught and drove the women
back After this first rebuff the wom-
en- made a second determined at
tempt to penerate the police Gordon,
but all to. little purpose. In accord
ance with instructions, the police en-
ployed against the women as little
force as possible.
At a late hour yesterday evening
the suffragists reassembled at Cax-
ton hall and amid the greatest en-
thusiasm passed resolution to send
another deputation to the premier
and renew their demonstrations be-
fore parliament. Accordingly, anoth-
er move was made against the house
of commons, the disorderly scenes
being repeated on smaller scale
and several more arrests were made.

II don't want to go. People augh ana
make sport of me and I have no fun,'
complained a young lad, whose father was
planning an excursion trip which he was
to taxi in company with the boy. You
guy me. too, dad, and I don't like It," he
added when the father attempted to tell
him Of the good time they would have.
He was a big. gnwky boy, ungainly ana
gaunt, and members of the household.
the father included. never tired Of making
fun of him, and nagging him about his
ungainlessness. He seemed to delight In
every chance he had to ridicule the young
ster. Only his mother sympathized with
him. and to her he brought all his griefs
and troubles.
parent to hold his child up to such ridl-
cule? Fathers surely know how sucn
treatment hurts. They ought to know, TOT
they were boys themselves not so many
years back, but that they can remember IL,
There is hardly a growing boy in the
world who would not bear pain like a nero,
for to them there is a grim sort OF JOY
in acting the stole, but when 1t comes TO
bearing ridicule, that's quite a di1erent
thing, and there is hardly a day passes
that the growing boy is not reminded by
his father of his ugliness and his unpre-
possessing manners.
The boys mother seldom follows such
a course. She loves every awkward move
ment of her boy, and the sound OF his
harsh. grating laugh, is music to her ear.
She smiles ut his awkwardness, but there
is love in her smile and in her eyes, too,
and her boy knows IT. and adores her
for 1t.
It's unfortunate, to say the least. when
a boy feels obliged to depend upo his
mother for sympathy, but he gets very
little from his father, and none at all from
older brothers and sisters.
If fathers would pay as much personal
to the proper development of
their boys as they give to the other occu-
upon which they spend their time.
they. would be astonished at the results.
and their sons would stand In mortal
dread Of them.

to take it to a professional cleaner, who
will give you definite information.
Please tell me in your valuable Cues

HOUSEHOLDER.
After sweeping. wash with lukewarm
water and a soft cloth, being careful to
use no soar. Give a final rubbing with
milk. as this will give the desired polish.
If you give your oilcloth or linoleum a
coat Of shellac 1t will wear much longer
and be more easily cleaned.
