MRS. PANKHURST'S MISSION
British Suffra9ette Leader Warmly
Welcomed In This Country.

Welcomed In This Country.
Mrs. Emmeline Goulden Pankhurst
is the leader of the militant wing Of
the British suffra gettes. and she came
to this country recently to tell the true
story Of the manner in which the cam
paign is being carried on in England.
She was received with open arms by
the leading suffragists in America and
given an ovation at all of her lectures
1t was Mrs. Pankhurst who made
the first suffragette banner with her
own hands and worked on it the novel
legend Votes For Women Then
Annie Kenny, a very pretty factory
girl, and Christabel Pankhurst pro-
ceeded to a Liberal meeting, Annie
carrying the banner and Mrs. Pank
bursts daughter holding her olsen
gagged hand to inspire courage. Ask
ing questions in meeting is sood old
English custom, but until that time
they had been asked by men only. An
ME and Christabel began to ask queS-
tons and insisted on receiving an
swers.
Nor did these determined young suf
fragettes cease to ask questions until
the stewards surrounded them, tore
off their hats and put their hands over
the persistent mouths. They were
then put into the street. where they
proceeded to hold an indignation meet
ing. \ great crowd had assembled,
ana there were some expressions of
sympathy. but a good deal more ridi-
Guile. Finally the police appeared on
the scene and arrested the young en-
thusiasts and landed them. banner and
all. in prison. The charge was OBJ
structing the police. and the absurdity
Of the accusation set all England in an
uproar of mirth.
That was the real beginning of the
suffragette campaign in England, and
since that time Mrs. Pankhurst has
been the acknowledged leader of the
movement. Her theory of militant ac-
tivity to secure to woman her rights
has been put into practice with re-
markabIe energy and has almost work
ed a revolution in British politics. One
Of her most forcible schemes has been
to fill the houses Of parliament with
Populations Of women bearing mon
ster petitions.
Mrs. PankhurSt is woman OF
charming personality. In her youth
she was regarded as the most beauti-
full woman In England. and today she
is acknowledged to be one of the clev-
crest. BY her own unaided efforts she
has managed to give her four sons
university education and start them
in their professional careers. She is

LEOPOLD GREATEST FINANCIER
TN THE WORLD

Samuel Phillips Werner writing
for the English Forum, pronounced
Leopold the greatest financier of the
age. He told how he had taken hold
of the Congo Free State in the face
of universal ridicule, at time when
it seemed certain to prove financial
failure, and made it a great success.
OF Leopold'S managerial genius, Mr..
Werner SAYS:
The king never waVered. He spent
his millions like water. He had a
faith which looks sublime in the
light of the past and of the present
/ am no special apologist for the po-
litical career of King Leopold; but
his logged tenacity of purpose in the
Congo venture must appear to any
impartial beholder little short of
marvellous. We Americans boast of
our kings of finance and captains of
industry: but here is real king who
as a monarch of finance ana cap
tain of industry puts Rockefeller and
Morgan into the shade Leopold's
act of taking over the public domain
of the Congo territory makes him alb
SOlute master over nearly a million
square miles. No parliament con-
trolls him. no constitution restricts
him. At the lowest value he places
on his possessions, he is worth three
hundred million dollars in land
alone; and when the value of the
land in metals and minerals and for
trading and other purposes is consid-
cred. it is evident that the king of
Belgium is the wealthiest individual
on the globe. He believed that, for
executive purposes, one heal was
better than many. So he undertook
the work with a few expert advisers,
with many skilled labOrers, but with
himself as the sole executive mana
ger, president and financial agent

What Was Achieved and How.
Among the positive results accom-
plished by the government of King
Leopold in the Congo country, Mr.
Werner enumerates the putting down
of the Arab slave trade. the planting
of white settlements over the whole
state, trading stations, government
posts and missions, the establishment
of steamboat lines on the rivers. the
building of one railroad and the par
tial abolition of cannibalism, the
starting of coffee and rice plantations

the country of ten million dollars

Give your own idea Of this star that
the wise men saw. which indicated to
them that a Jewish king had been
born: was 1t objective or only sub
jective?
Were the wise men right in their
opinion, that Jesus was the King OF
the Jews as they were in the fact
of his birth?
Verse 3--What is the evidence for
or against the idea that it was Gods
original intention for Jesus to be the
literal King of the Jews. as the wise
men stated, and as Herod feared?
Why should Herod and "all Jerusa-
lem" be troubled at the announcement
of the birth of Jewish King?
Verses 4-6-What prophet is here
referred to. and where in the Bible
did these priests and scribes quote
from?
Did the prophet they quoted from,
and did these priests and scribes
think that the expected Christ was to
be an earthly King? Why?
Verse What is it which makes
diligent study, of a worthy subject,
either noble or ignoble?
Verse Show would you describe
a man with motive of Herod, when he
sent these wise men off On their mis-
