TO SWAMP THE LORDS.
A Threat That Always Brings Eng
lands Upper House to
(, Terms.

To override the veto of the house
of lords by q wholesale creation bf
peers is plan that has been often
threatened, but hardly ever put into
practice. 1t certainly places the king
in q very unenviable predicament SO
much SO that in 1919, after q crisis
OF the kind, George |. caused to be
introduced into the lords q bill for
limiting the power Of the sovereign to
create peers, a sort of royal self de-
nying ordinance.
The measure was twice passed in
the lords, but twice rejected by the
commons, which was lucky, for had it
been carried it would have made the
house Of lords an almost unchange-
able body, entirely beyond the control
OF king or minister or commons.
The nearest approach that was ever
made to "swamping the lords" was in
1882. when the fate Of the great re-
form bill trembled in the balance.
over and over again the measure had
been passed by the commons, only to
be rejected by the lords. The coun-
try was furious. Payment of taxes
was refused. Riots broke out every
where.
The prime minister, Lord Grey,
went to the king and begged him to
create new peers to carry the, bill. His
majesty refused and the ministry re-
signed. The king, however, present
~ changed his mind and, fearing a
revolution. agreed to the creation OF
q hundred new peers, ''or more ii
necessary" Then, very reluctantly
the upper house gave way, and the bill
became law.-London Family Herald

Plant That Feians Death.

In South America there is a plant,
species of mimosa. which resorts to
death feigning, evidently for the pur-
pose of preventing grass eating ami
mails from eating it. In its natural
state this plant has vivid green
hue. but directly it is touched by a
human finger or by any living animal
it collapses into a tangle of apparently
dead and withered stems. Among
British wild plants the most sensitive
to touch is the. insectivorous sundew
of English bogs.- London Globe.

Why Some Towns Grow.

The reason why some towns grow is
because there are men of push and
energy in it, who are not afraid to
spend their time and money to boom
their town. They erect substantial
buildings, organize stock companies
and establish factories, secure rail
roads, work for public improvements
and use every means in their power
to induce people to locate in their
city. Wherever they go they tell of
the advantages of their city, they write
about them in every letter, they send
circulars and newspapers to all whom
they think they can get to visit the
city and when any one visits them
treat him so kindly that he falls in
love with them and their city at once.
1t is enterprise and everyone pulling
together that makes progressive
town and don't let the fact escape your
memory.
To hear every person saying some.
thing pleasant about it's people and its
interests is the surest. quickest way to
make town attractive to stranger.
One of the best ways in which to make
a town attractive with that sort OF
attraction that will draw other people
to it is for every man and woman
to have pleasant word for the people
and the town generally. Talk up your
town If you would feel an interest in it
have it's people feel an interest IN
you. There is no better way to do it
And many time one little word of un.
pleasant reference to something that
does not exactly suit you as to that
matter. will turn some good mans in.
fluence away from your town and even
drive him away. At your own fireside
talk up your town. Among your
neighbors talk up your town. When
you come in contact with strangers
talk up your town. Talk up the most
potent agency ever set in motion fol
helping your town.-Ex.

a Murder Case In Which They Re-

a Murder Case In Which They Re.
turned Just Verdict.
The German emperor some time ago
presented to the Hozenholleren muse
UNI the death dice" with which one
of his ancestors decided difficult
case in the seventeenth century. The
history of these dice Is generally Civ
en- as follows:
A young girl had been murdered.
Suspicion fell upon two young SOL
diers, Ralph and Aired, who were
suitors for her hand. They both de-
MED their guilt, and even torture
failed to extract a confession from
either.
Then Elector Frederick William de-
cided to cut the knot by means of the
dice box. The two soldiers should
throw for their lives and the loser
should be executed as the murderer.
The event was celebrated with
great solemnity. Ralph had the first
chance and threw skies, the highest
possible number. The dice box was
then given to Alfred. He fell on his
knees and prayed. Then he rose to,
his feet and threw the dice with such
force that one of them was broken.
The whole one showed six, the brok-
en- one also gave six on the larger
portion and the fragment split off
showed one. This was a total of thir-
teen, one beyond Ralph's throw. The
audience held its breath in amaze
ment.
God has spoken!" cried the prince.
Ralph, appalled, by what he regarded;
as sign from heaven. confessed his
guilt and was sentenced to death

'quested each candidate to inclose her

to do, but one of the candidates served

lowing letter: "Sir-1 do not inclose
my carte, for, though there is some
authority for putting a cart before a

THE KINGS WATCH.
a Napoleonic Gift That Embarrassed
Jerome Bonaparte.

Previous to his elevation to the SOW
ereignty Jerome Bonaparte had form
ed a friendship with some young
authors at that time in vogue for their
wit and reckless gayety. On the even
ing after his nomination to the crown
of Westphalia he met two of his jovial,
companions just as he was leaving the
theater. My dear fellows" he said,

thinks. That might pass were sur

Upon this Jerome took his friends
to one Of the best restaurants in the
Palais Royal. The three chatted and
laughed and said and did q thousand
of those foolish things which when un-
premeditated are so delightful. 1t
may be supposed that the converse
ton was not kept up without drinking.
When the wine they had drunk be-
gan to take effect, my good friends, !"
said Jerome, why should we quit each
other? II you approve of my propos.
al you shall accompany me. You,
G, shall be my secretary. AS for you,
?, who are fond of books, appoint
you my librarian" The arrangement
was accepted and ratified over fresh
bottle of champagne.
At length the party began to think
OF leaving and accordingly called for
the bill. Jerome produced his purse,
but the king of Westphalia could only
find 2 louis, which formed but small
portion Of 200 francs, the amount Of
the bill. The new. dignitaries by club
bling their wealth could only muster
about 8 francs.
What was to be done? At 1 o'clock
In the morning where could resources
be found? They determined to send
for the master of the house and ac-
quaint him how matters stood. He
seemed to take the frolic in good part
and merely requested to know their
names. Having told him, the restau-
ranteur set his customers down as
sharpers and threatened to send for
the commissary of police. This alarm
ed Jerome, who, seeing that the res
tauranteur doubted them, handed over
his watch in payment. This watch
had been present from Napoleon and
one the back was the emperor's
cipher in brilliants.
On, examining the watch the restau-
ranteur concluded that it had been
stolen and took it to the commissary
OF police. The latter, recognizing the
imperial cipher, ran with it to the
project. The project flew to the min
lister of the interior, and he in turn
went to the emperor at st. Cloud.
Next morning the Moniteur contained
an ordinance in which Jerome was
ordered to Westphalia at once and pro-
hibited from comforting any appoint
ments till his arrival at his capital.

President Brixton of the Board of Trade has rushed here to superintend the efforts to bring about arbitra- tions. Last nights conference between a delegation of the strikers and the railway officials at Gates Head failed to bring about any compromise.
 Already more than 30,000 railroad em- ployes have struck along the 1700 miles of the railroad and the complete tie up of traffic has so seriously affected other business interests that hundreds of others have been thrown out of work. Factories have been compelled to suspend operations owing to inabil- ity to ship goods and receive coal. One thousand miners were today added to the list of men out of work.
 Numerous mines have shut down be- cause of the lack of shipping facilities for transferring their coal.
