bczzling that amount from the EN-
pirc Casualty Company, OF that city.

NbANrate SnNra9tttes.

London. Nov. ,! Scores Of suffra-
ec,tcs are going to jail today.
A suffragctte in Jail is Il dangerous
thing for the English government, for
The militant women have an unhappy
habit or starving themselves when
forced to remain behind prison bars.
And Englishmen do not like the idea
Of women of gentle breeding starving,
even if the women do it Of their
0wn yolition.
Magistrate Drentzen, sitting in the
Iow street police court, was kept busy
all day trying the hundreds Of suffra-
gclteS who participated in the various
attacks made ON the House OF Parlia-
meut. upon several of the ministers,
upon Premier Asquith and upon other
political leaders during the past week.
The magistrate imposed average fines
OF five pounds ($25) upon the women
and not one OF them would allow the
fine paid. Every one chose prison in
stead. The fear OF the government
AGAINST the action Of the women in pri-
son was shown when the prosecution, act
ing under orders apparently from the
home office, insisted that no woman
should be found guilty who was not
shown 10 have taken active part in the
violence.
Ia spite Of this plea on the part OF
the governments prosecutors. magis-
tratc encouraged the women to fresh
riots,
The home Office has not forgotten
the last batch OF suftragettes sent to
Jail and the scandal they caused.
They refused to cat, and the prison
officials used stomach pumps and other
mechanical means to force food into
them, 70 keep them alive. Several OF
the women nearly died. All had to
be pardoned by the home secretary be
fore their terms expired.

ALEXANDRIA, Va.
THURSDAY EVENING. NOV.

WHILE Thanksgiving Day is not as
generally celebrated i'll the southern
country as in the northern section OF
the United States, it is by no means .g-
nored. The pilgrim fathers, deprived
of'most OF the comforts Of life, with
starvation often staring them i'll the
face and blood-thirsty savages prowllng
about their log houses, realized they
had. after all, many things for which
they should be thankful, hence they
inaugurated the day. The generations
which have followed are enjoying TIC
blessings Of civilization, the full and
plenty Of which their forcfathcrs were
derived. Besides the country has
long nestled in a prolonged era OF tran
guilty with none to make us afraid,
every man being allowed the privilege
OF worshipping the Creator without lei
or hindrance. 1t was not always so,
even in this country. In one OF the
larger histories OF the United States IN
incident is related Of IN carEcsl band
which had gathered in y log house iot
the purpose OF conducting thanks
giving service. The leader started e
read the well-known hymn, Como
Thou Almighty King" when shower
of arrows, accompanied by the wal
whoop OF savagcs, raiued upon the
house. The doors had been barred
and the leader, unGismaycd, kept oil
until he had read the entire hymn,
after which the congregation arose and
sang it in its entirety. There seemed
to have been Il direct anS"cr TO the APP
neal, as an armed band Of settlers ar'
rived simultaneously and drove off the
would-be scalpers We are at present
living under different conditions, al
though in the mad rush Of the present
day comparatively few are thoughtful
with but little inclination TO devote
enough of their time to render thanks
for the blessings with which they are
surrounded.

UNSUCCESSFUL. AVIATOR.

Declaring tha! lie would teach the
world how to fly. c. ". James, Il young
Madison county, n. c., mountaineer
aged % years, taking from the attic OF
his home an old pair Of Gag lc wings
and a rather dilapidatcd umbrella,
made his way to Il high rock cliff,
about n mile from his house, accom-
panied by number of friends and relo
ativcs. James had heard lot about
airships and men flying, and he told
those with whom he was discussing the
subject that he would show them the
only real way to fly.
When he reached the cliff on the
mountainsidc, he pulled from his
pockets several feet OF rope and bound
the eagle wings to his shoulders. I'm
folding the umbrella he stood upon the
edge OF the rock, and with a shrug Of
his shoulders to sec that the wings were
securely bound, lie prepared for the
flight. His friends protested, but to
no avail. When he felt sure that
everything was right. be gave another
shrug of the shoulders and arms, and
leaped into the air over q 50-foot abyss.
As be jumped the hoisted umbrella
turned wrong side out, the eagle wings
failed to bear him up and his descent
was more rapid than be calculated.
When his friends reached him, be was
unconscious and badly bruised.
