and he may snore. But he must not read
a newspaper. OF course, books are to4-
Grated. For it may be assumed that they
are parliamentary reports. But 1 doubt
whether a monthly magazine would be
permitted.
No one is permitted TO speak. no mat
ter, how important the communication
which ne may have TO make. without
having caught that most vagrant of
optics. namely, the Speakers eye The
power Of that eye and the rights which
II possesses are not based on any writ
ten law. but upon long established Gus
tom and tradition. Very often several
members rise in their places at one and
the same time. endeavoring TO arrest the
eve of the Speaker, and il is then free
to that august functionary TO make his
selection and to Indicate the member
who has his permission TO speak This
he does by addressing the lucky one as
The Member for So-and-So.'
This practice has prevailed since the
DAYS of Sir John Trevor Prior To MS
time look was sufficient. But Sir John
Trevor (who by the bye. was the only
Speaker ever expelled from the House
for bribery squinted SO terribly that no
one could feel sure that he had caught
the Speakers eye until orally assured
by the Speaker of the fact.
A feature of the House of Commons IS
the brass grille. or cagework. which con
ceals from view the presence Of the
women up in the gallery, England's ma
tional legislature being probably the only
Parliament in :he world that treats the
fair sex in this altogether Oriental fash
ion. 1t dates from the early part OF the
last century when. according TO the his
torians Of the time. the relegation Of
women 10 this grated gallery was rem
dered absolutely imperative by the man
Ter in which they not only invaded the
floor of the House. but actually inter
fered with the progress of the debates
In the eighteenth century there were
frequent cases Of women sitting beside
legislators. and they did not hesitate to
lavish all their fascinatiOns upon the
susceptible politicians when ii came TO
winning a vote.
Apparently the members OF the House
of Lords are less prone TO succumb To
the temptation Of the fair. for women.

THE SCARLET TANAGER.

Dear Little Men and Women: AS l have
read some Of your very interesting stories
OF different experiences with pet animals.
I am going to tell you OF an experience l
had One day 7 was returning from
school I heard loud noise OF screechlng
and screaming in our backyard. looked
up and there We're two scarlet tanasers
fighting over a piece of bread. I whistled
to them and one Of them flew away. while
the other lay painting for want of breath.
I picked the wounded bird up and took II
into the house, where we had an old can
ary cage. There I made little bed OF
straw and put the poor bird in the cage
until the next day, when I found that II
moved a little and seemed TO want some
thign i eat SO I fixed some warm bread
and milk for him, l called him pickle
and he soon grew fond Of me that often
when 7 woke up in the mornings I would
md him lying very comfortably at the
foot of my bed One day 1 opened the
window Of my room and Dickie flew out
and would only return once a day for
something to eat At last I saw Dick1e fy
into a pine tree and never return again.
