IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: When
l was in London last summer one of the
most interesting things I saw was the
House of Commons in session. I wrote TO
the Right Hon. Winston S. Churchill. then
President of the Board Of Trade, for an or
der to see it The order came at last and
I presented myself on d Wednesday evening
at the gate. I was Immediately hailed by
some suffragettes patrolling >le gate who
gave me circulars. At the gate were two
"bobbies" who examined my order. Enter
ing and going up flight of steps, I found
myself in a long hall, stone, with small
statues along the sides This 1 afterward
learned was Westminster Hall. and I sat
opposite the place where the Kings body
afterward lay IN state.
In a short time a 'bobbie" approached
me. For moment I thought that boys
were not admitted and I was TO be turned
out. But he had only come TO tell me that
I could go upstairs. as there was a place
vacant. I went up the stairs he directed
me to- and after writing my name in the
visitors book passed into the spectators
gallery. The room I was in was very large
and grand. At the opposite end from me
was q large throne, empty, which l natu-
rally thought was the Kings, from its ele-
giant cushions and the gold work above il.
A short distance in front Of II was beau
tifuIly carved table at which several men
in long powdered wigs sat, on the side
toward the throne On the side toward me
hung a silver mace, a sort Of sceptre, the
sign OF power of the House. On each side
Of the table. about fifteen deep. and running
along the length of the House. were the
members seats.
A debate was going on when was there,
and the speakers for each side would rise
and step up 10 the side OF the table near
them to speak. The debate was evidently
not very interesting 10 the members. as
many had their hats on and were asleep.
Now and then one would wake up and say
Hear. hearT' and go to sleep again.
Being curious TO learn about the throne,
the mace and other things that I saw,
asked a kind looking man next TO me- who
in reply 10 my question: said: That throne,
as YOU call II, Is only the Speakers chair,
and those men with the wigs are the clerks
of the House. The Speaker himself is not
here now, because the House is on COM

ODE Horse Thai Ran AsvaY
BY ElIZABETH c. WEBB.

on Georges fifth birthday his grand
father gave him q horse-a lovely horse.
white. with blue spots. and harnessed in
rec Joe. Georges little brother. was only
three wears ol6. so he was not allowed to
ride this fiery steed by himself Instead.
his grandfather set him astride his foot
snd gave him fine ride there But Joe
turned wistfui eyes toward his stalwart
brother and the wooden horse How il
rocked: Its name and tan waved in the
breeze, and il fairly seemed TO be alive
George rode the horse all the morning
and the horse was good and faithful and
kept on going. although it grew very tired
But George didn't grow tired. On the
contrary. the faster he went the faster he
wanted 10 60 At last. finding the horse
WAS going more slowly. he dismounted.
SIC. running into the yard. he came back
with a long switch. and armed with this
re mounted and started again But the
horse was tired. and did not go as fast as
George wanted, SO he struck it with the
whip
At that q remarkable thing happened.
That good. faithful wooden horse grew
SO angry and indignant that. taking the
BIZ between his teeth. he bolted out at the
front door, tumbling his rider pellmeu on
the floor.
Ny goodness. gracious me- he ex-
claimed My wooden horse has run away,
Did you ever hear OF such a thing
But Joe, who was only three. hadn't had
tine Yet 10 hear much OF anything. so
he could offer no suggestions Horse all
gone he said, sadly.
I'm going to find him and bring him
back, you can come, too, If YOU want an
nouEced George
Only too eager al the idea OF such an gd
venture. Joe scrambled TO his feet and put
his hand IN his big brothers, and together
Ihey set OUT 10 bring back the runaway.
They ran down the stairs and out at the
front door and. looking down the road. they
saw their horse ulerrily rocking along q
short distance ahead.
We viii soon catch him; he is not going
New-York tribune., 1910-08-28

very fast. cried George, as they started
confidently in pursuit.
But no sooner did the horse see them
coming than he kicked UP his rockers and
made of down the road at great rate.
George and Joe ran until they were out
or breath, and they had to sit down by the
roadside TO rest But soon as the horse
saw that they were resting he proceeded
tc rest, too, so that the boys were encour-
aged to take up the chase again when they
got their breath The horse en1oyed him
self tremendously: he even turned and
came back when he saw the bows were too
out of breath TO catch him. and rocked
merrIly around just beyond their reach
only 10 start again at full speed when they
made an effort 10 catch him.
At last after he had done this many times
the boys began to get discouraged. .'Oh.
dear, / don't believe We will ever catch
him
just then along came a man in a cart,
whereat George was fired with an idea.
Please may we get in your Carte he
said: we want 10 catch my birthday horse
that has run away"
Why certainly. Jump right in" said
the man.
So in the brothers scrambled and lay
down in the bottom Of the wagon so that
the horse should not see them.
BY this means they got so close TO the
runaway that the man was able to call
out to him, Hello, horse, Where are you
going?'
I'm running away" replied the horse
cheerfully-
Well. l think you've run away long
enough Suppose you run home again"
I don't want to-" replied the horse.
But before he had time TO say more the
man had reached out of the wagon and
caught him by the bride
He made the runaway fast TO the back
Of the wagon and, turning took the boys
home.
The spotted horse never ran away again,
but that was only because he never got
the chance

A TRIP TO MARS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: II
was with the greatest pleasure that Nan
and l stepped into our little airsh!p for
the first time We had proudly watched
its growth from some pieces OF wood, steel
and various other articles to a beautIt ii
little flying machine And it was our very,
very own-Nannie's and mine.
We felt very comfortable a first as we
flew on through the air, but we began &C
feel little frightened when on looking
down. discovered that the buildings
were mere dots, and we realized that we
were far away from home. We kept on
going higher and higher. Surely this little
machine of ours was a record-breaker.
But what was that ahead of there? 1t
was the planet Mars. There were the
canals, which had puzzled the astronomers
As we neared it we saw buildings and
then. with great thump, we landed on
Mars.
Leaving our airship. Nan and I walked
the queer little houses the peopIe-the
Martians-ran out TO look at US. They
looked so funny-not at all like any one
we had ever seen-that Nan and | began
to laugh at them. They were very angry
with US, for they talked together in excited
tones, and then started to follow Us
Others Joined the procession, until IL
seemed to US as though all the inha bitants
of Mars were at our heels We ran fast
but they ran faster. Slowly the cause OF
their pursuing US began to dawn upon me
We had rudely laughed at them, and they.
righteousy indignant, were going to take
us to their king, where we would be pun
ished. | looked around and saw two Off
GERS within ten yards Of US. Nan clutched
my arm. and began to cry, but we kept
running until-oh! What was that fearful,
yellow thing there ahead Of US? The ugly
little policeman had almost reached US.
Nan stumbled and fell, when l jumped up,
rubbed my eyes and winked at that fear
full. yellow thing there ahead of us 1t
was the bright morning sun. My trip
to Mars had been only dream.
