LITTLE DAUGHTER IS DEVOTED
BY LADY MARY MANwARING.

LONDON, oct. l.-(Special to The
Bee )--Chancellor Lloyd-George is one OF
the best liked and best hated men in
King Georges dominions. OF all his
many thousands of admirers none is more
ardent and sincere than little Miss Megan
Lloyd George. the chancellors daughter.
Although she is only years Of age, her
pretty little speeches, delivered with just
the slightest Of Welsh accents, and win
some smiles did much during the last
general election to retain many votes for
the chancellor of the exchequer.
During one week this little lady made
a whirlwind tour of the six boroughs
her father represents in parliament, and
Of course, she spoke to the electors in
her native language. To one old fellow
who had been employed at Carnarvon
Castle for fifty years, she asked, please
will you vote for father?'
Indeed, l WILL" was the reply, but
you must give me a kiss If 1 do"
All" said she, that would be bribery
and corruption"
According to M yd-Geopges own
supporters, Megan only made one tactical
error during the whole campaign. 1t
happened at a big fair at Criccieth. Both
she and her father were seeing the
sights" Presently the chancellor found
himself watching his little daughter
trying her luck for ginger-rock at a
"pull-away" stall.
A crowd soon gathered, and many were

Mr.. Lloyd-George was informed that
Megan had been patronizing the stall of
"A prominent local conservative in his
constituency.
Suffragettes Seek n Scalp.
The suffragettes would like very much
to know the name of the man or woman
who sent Lord Cromer 100000 for the
purpose of fighting womans suffrage.
Lord Cromer is very wise, perhaps, in

doubted If he or she could remain in
England in any comfort.

for a million francs at the Mont de Pete
at Paris, and they were only just re-

time to prevent their being sold amongst

The sword OF state, which is regarded
in Servia as a sacred relic, was also
paWned by a former king-while one well

the pawnbrokers upon the security of tn
portraits of her ancestors which hung OIL
