ASQU|TH VISITS KING
His Majesty Acquainted With
Cabinets Changed Plans.
MINISTER'S LONG MEETING
Under Necessity of Agreeing on Pro-
gram for Mondays Par
lament Session.

LONDON, February 26.-Premier AS
quith had an audience today with King
Edward at Buckingham Palace, and the
circumstance has given rise to many fan
tastic reports. The fact seems to be that
the premier, after yesterdays cabine,
council. asked for today's audience, with
the object of acquainting his majesty with
the proposed notifications of the govern
ment's attitude toward the principal ques-
tions dealt with in the speech from the
throne
That notifications of the cabinets origi-
nal plans have been forced by the rebel
lious radicals and nationalists is not to be
doubted, but the cabinet is represented as
having decided not to countenance the de-
mands of the extremists that all mention
of reform of the house of lords should
be dropped from the governments plans.
Rallying Cry for Country.
The ministerial view, Or at least the
view of an important section of the minis
try, is that II It's program is confined TO
II proposal on the question of veto pure
and simple it would I'm effect be a pro-
posal for a single chamber government,
to which plan the country would be OPP
posed. In all probability, therefore. judg-
ing from present indications. q plan for
the limit ations of the lords veto will be
coupled with q reconstruction scheme in
which the elective principle will be sub
stituted for the hereditary practice.
The ministerialists consider that IAN
elective versus hereditary principle"
will be a good battle cry with which they
may appeal to the country when the time
comes for an election which is inevitable
before their proposals can be embodied in
the constitution.
Cabinet Session Prolonged.
Today's cabinet council was prolonged
unusually. The ministers required three
hours III which to reach final decision
upon the plans to be presented in the
house of commons Monday, when they
will be obliged to come into close grip
with the questions of finance and the veto
power of the lords.
Subsequently Premier Asquith and most
of the other members of the cabinet left
to spend the week end in the country.
where they will be out of the reach of
the rebels" whose harrying during the
past week has made life burdensome for
them.

An Equal Test.

It is an interesting fact that the two studies of arithmetic and geography often seem to be opposed to each other in the affections of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient in the one are apt to be backward in the other.
 A story is told of a youngster who was slow in arithmetic and whose ap- parent stupidity in this field was great source of grief to his father. clever mathematician.
 One day when the father and son were walking out they passed place where a learned pig was on exhibi- tion, and the father took the boy in to see the prodigies that the animal could perform.
 "Just look at that!'' said the father. "Why, there's pig that can count and add up numhers! Don't you wish you were as smart as he?'
 "Ha" answered the boy. Just let me ask him few questions in geog- raphy! reckon 1 could beat him at that"

The Wearing Of the Yellow

Just why Mrs. Thompson Carding-
er decided to use yellow as her color
scheme at the last of the series OF
known. II may have been that II
was her favorite shade; II may have
been that II harmonlzed with her
costume OF the afternoon. or, II may
have been simply because yellow
spring flowers, jonquils. daisies and
tulips were plentiful in the florists
shops in March.
But theSvery fact that she had Sc
lected yellow instead OF any other hue
In the rainbow made all the difference
In the world to her faithful cook,
Norah.
Norah was a daughter OF the EN-
erald Isle and she never lost an OPP

Often, looking up from her work,
she would find Mr.. Asher. the man
