IN ENGLISH JAlLS

The fate that has overtaken several
English suffragettes who attempted to
present petition to Premier Asquith
is considered a subject for mirth by
the ribbald, but it really is not anus
ing, says William Allen White in EN-
poria Gazette.
Four or five women of high station
are sentenced to Jail for a month for a
performance that should not be counted
an offense in any country where free
institutions are more than a fiction.
When it becomes a crime to attempt to
present a petition to the officers of a
government, that government Is less
liberal than the regime of Henry VIII.
If the arrest Of these women is anus
ing, the laugh is ON the blunderers who
caused the arrest and who are respon-
sible for the Jail sentences. 1t is no
joke to a woman of refinement and Gull
ture to be imprisoned and to pick
oakum, and be subjected to the rules
which govern outlaws and outcasts.
The women might avoid going to Jail
by paying a fine or giving bond, but
they will consent to no compromise.
At present the average Englishman
looks upon the suffrage crusade as a
joke, and he laughs when the leaders
are arrested because the other fellows
laugh, don't you know" The Br1ton
is slow to absorb joke and slow to get
over the effects of one but he is fair
and just, and one of these days it will
dawn upon him that it isn't so ALFRED
funny to send good women to prison
for imaginary offenses, and then John
Bull will put a stop to that sort of
thing, and women will get what they
want and what they are entitled to.

SPRING SONG

There is a song a-singing-a vagrant, wanton
tune
That laughs across the silence of the mid
afternoon;
We do not fully hear 1t, we only sense 1t so,
And feel its subtle measures as echoes come
and.go.
1t dances in the sunshine where medows bare
and brown
Are rousing from their slumper; from hillsides
sweeping down
1t leaps and laughs and fingers until the
grasses wake
And naked boughs Of willows begin to sway
and shake.
1t runs throughout the forest in murmurs fair
and fine,
And calls it's mystic summons to twig and
root and vine
And o. the scent of springtime comes drifting
from the mold
AS in the primal morning Eden's grace
untold.
Elusive evanescent: a song may not hear
But only as a shadow of sound comes to the
1t mocks us from the hollows and 1t mocks
from the hills
With all its lifting gladness blent Of thou
sand thrills.
There is song a-singing-and al the world
is glad;
The newer life Is stising in places sere and
sad:
A paean and prayer a chanting and Groom
Sweep onward through the sunshine of the
midafternoon Chicago Post.

THE BOYS RIGHTS

Tho boy has rightsl
They too often overlooked.
Older sisters frequently resent them.
Even mothers sometimes fail to recognize
them.
The growing boy has scant courtesy shown
him at home.
What if his tracks are seen occasionally on
the clean floor?
What il he does leave doors open when they
should be shut?
What il he does make enough noise to raise
the dead?
It must be remembered that these are not
crimes, only shortcomings.
Time and patience can remedy these and
many other thoughtess acts
Time, patience and Judicious encouragement
will prove more effective than faultfnding.
Is there any member of the family who
hears complaints of his methods than the
boy?
Yet he really does many little helpful things
that would miss if they omitted.
He has right to appreciation and thanks
when his small daily chores well done.
Is 1t right to give the boy the attic room
and his sister a big, sunny, second-fioor room?
Is it right to think that any sort of cast-of
furniture will do for the destructive boy?
He might not be thoughtless and destruc-
tive if he possessed beautiful and convenient
room to care for.
An appreciation of the beautiful, artistic and
orderly is mostly a matter of education, and
the boy has a right to it.
A boy has a right to all the home privi-
leges accorded his sisters and to be exempt
from the accusation that he Is at the bottom
of all the mischief ahoat.

What to Do with Left.overs

A salad of cold fish or any kind of
tender meats, such as veal, lamb and
fowls, can be made by chopping it fine
and adding any kind of cold vegeta-
bles left over from meals. Make
mayonnaise for this and vegetable sa-
lads and utilize SOUR cream by mix
ing 1t with salad dressing.
A delicious jelly may be made from
any cold, tender meat to serve cold,
according to the recipes that come with
gelatine.
IL you have a few spoonfuls of to-
matoes and canned corn left over, mix
thcm together and heat, and you will
have a nice dish.
Or the tomatoes may be put into the
soup pot, or into a Spanish stew. Or
chop an onion, add red pepper and but
ter, cook into a sauce, pour 1t over
cold sliced meat, warm. and you have
