FEEDING BY FORCE.

American Suffragette Describes Her
Strange Experience In English Jail.
Miss Alice Paul, an American, who
is master of arts Of the University
of Pennsylvania and the daughter of
judge of New Jersey, was discharged
from Holloway prison in London the
other day after serving thirty days at
hard labor for raising the suffragette
disturbance and breaking windows at
the lord mayors banquet.
While in prison she refused to eat
or lie in bed to prevent her jailers
making her well. She says she was
fed by force in this manner:
1.-THE largest wardress in Holloway
sat astride my knees. Two other
wardresses sat on either side and held
my arms. A towel was placed around
my throat, and one doctor from behind
forced my head back, while another
doctor put tube in my nostril. When
it reached my throat my head was
pushed forward. The tube came
through my mouth, and I got it be
tween my teeth.
my mouth was then pried oper
with an instrument. Sometimes they
tied me to chair with sheets. Once
I managed to get my hands loose and
snatched the tube, tearing it with my
teeth. I also broke a jug, but they
succeeded in forcing me to eat"

Henry B. Harris, the theatrical pro-

put $4,000 each to found a chair of
playwriting at Harvard university
Mr.. Harris said recently that he had
already put aside that amount and was
awaiting the others. His reasons for
suggesting such department. at Har-
ward grew out Of his recent visit to
Cambridge to witness the performance
by the University Dramatic club, when
he had a talk with Professor Baker,
professor Of dramatic literature in that
institution.
plays is due to lack Of technical
knowledge on the part Of the writers
and not to a dearth Of ideas. He feels
that men should be as carefully train
ed for writing plays as for any other
learned profession, and until suct
training can be given only few OF
those who attempt the art can sue
coed. He thinks that the educators
will be interested in his plan and be

Except that such department in the
university would include long course

LEoP0LD's GERMAN BATH.
Embarrassing Situation In Which tho
Belgian King Figured.

embarrassing Situation In Which tho
Belgian King Figured.
That kings have feelings and are
subject to embarrassing situations
quite as frequently as ordinary per-
sons is proved by an incident in which
King Leopold OF Belgium was the
chief figure. Henry w. Fischer in his
work 'sThe Private Lives of Emperor
William and His Consort'' tells of the
incident as follows:
Court Marshal Liebenau was all in
a futter when in August, 1890, his
Belgian majesty came to return the
kaiser's visit to Ostend, for his col
league of Brussels had informed him
that the sovereign gentleman was adj
dicted to the daily bathing habit and
demanded hot bath at that.
AT last Liehenau hit upon plan.
He set up modern enough bath that
was fed by cold water faucet and
placed under one end Of it a row of
gas jets intended to heat the water in
the tub. Should his majesty find the
bath too warm, calculated the official,
with true native acumen, he can mod
crate the heat by turning on the cold
reservoir
Nov, Leopold had enjoyed the pre-
vious nights festivities very much.
and, observing in the morning that his
slightest wishes in regard to bodily
comfort had been anticipated, he rose
in right good humor. Stepping buoy
antly into his bath at the cool end and
turning round, he sat himself down at
the other, which, the gas having just
been turned off, was nothing short Of
a furnace with the redhot Goals re-
moved.
"At the same moment an unearthly
yell rent the castle from marble hall
to scullery. The sentinels marching up
and down before the great gate called
out the guard, and dozens of officials
and servants ran to the kings suit Of
apartments. thinking that his majesty
had been attacked. At last, the cries
not ceasing, Herr Won Liebenau, to-
gether with the housekeeper and the
kings adjutant, took courage and burst
into the bathroom. where they found
his majesty dancing an impromptu
highland fling and warwhooping al
ternately in French and German for
liniments and cold cream. What he
said to the court marshal became
known only after the latter's dismissal
and disgrace.
Gas a further consequence of the in
cident it might be recorded that King
Leopold did not ride to the parade held
in his honor that morning, but viewed
the ceremonies from his window

TRIBUTE TO LEOPOLD.
Senator Wilmer Says BeIsium's Late
King Was Greatly Misunderstood.

Senator Winner Says BeIgium's Late
King Was Greatly Misunderstood.
One of the most powerful men in
Belgium, one who knew King Leopold
better than any other, is Senator Winer,
the kings trusted friend and confden-
tial legal adviser. He assisted Leopold
in drawing up the Kongo project and
probably will handle the disposition OF
the kings fortune.
Senator Winer, speaking the other
night before his majesty's death, in
sisted that Leopold had been greatly
misunderstood by the world He pic
tured the kings intense admiration for
the United States, which his majesty
was anxious to visit, but was prevent
ed from doing so by the Kongo criti-
cism. However, the king had prevailed
on Prince Albert to go, as he consid-
cred this most useful preparation for
the future ruler of Belgium.
The king had marked respect for
Theodore Roosevelt. He never liked
photographs around, but placed Presi-
dent Rooseyelt's autograph pictures in
his favorite Office in the Brussels pal
ace beside those Of Princess Clemen-
tine and Prince Albert. Continuing,
the senator said:
THE. king has been slave to work
and business. 1t is a fact that fifteen
minutes before the operation he die
tated documents relating to certain
negotiations and insisted before going
under chloroform upon correcting the
typewriter sheets. 1t was this mar
velous intellect and doggedness which
conceived the kongo project He lost
money at first, but emerged rich.
1.-THE whole trouble in the Kongo
was that the system was bad-worse
than the king thought. The eternal
cry was rubber and yet more rubber,
and it must be remembered that the
military commanders in the Kongo had
the double capacity of soldier and mer-
chant. They had to get rubber. Ney-
ertheless many Of the stories of abuses
are absolutely untrue"
The senator championed King Leo
pold as the great benefactor of Bel
GUM. He had developed cities and
erected monuments and public build
ings at his own expense. He had sup
ported architecture and advanced the
prosperity Of the people.

THREE KINDS OF LIES.

Plain Lies, Did Lies, and Then
There Are Statistics.
There are three kinds of lies-plain
lies, ID lies and statistics" said Cen
sus Director e. Dana Durand, address
ing the census supervisors Of Ohio,
Kentucky and southern Indiana at the
Sinton hotel, in Cincinnati, the other
day. s'Now, we don't want the census
Of 1910 to come in this classification.
We want the exact number of people
in the United States and few facts
about each one want you to do your
best to get them, and get them

"These lies 1 have spoken of must be
dealt with in peculiar manner. The
plain lies can be seen, the ID lies are
a bit harder to get after, but the sta
tistics ought not to have a single flaw"

The Ladies, Chance.

lin the first place, We're going to make
it possible for Women-good Women-to
see the fight. Every man In the world
will be crazy to see it. Why not the
women?-Tex Richard, Promoter of JEFF
fries-J Johnson Fight
Now, ladies, we hope you'll be quiet
And not keep on bothering us.
A truce to your howl and your riot,
Your "Give US a vote" and such fuss!
Your "cause," you've been eager to f1aunt
it.
Your claim for flair play may be right.
Well, here is your chance if you want it
Go buy a good seat for the fight!
For, note, there'll be ample provision
For ladies to sit round the ring
And watch for the fateful decision
That weeping or plaudits shall bring.
And even the slav'ry. of marriage
Will not be a bar to delight.
There's check room for each baby car
riage
You happen to take to the fight
Yes, ladies, at last real equality
Is granted to you as to man.
Don't look at the gift with frivolity,
But get your seat quick as you can.
What's commonplace voting, dear ladies,
Compared with the jubilant sight
When heavyweights battle like hades
In regular championship fight?
Two short years ago who'd have dared to
Make such a bold offer to you?
The fool, he'd have never been spared to
His friends, the rash offer to rue.
But at last you have forced him to own
| 1t,
That brutal mans equal you be.
BY your suffragette tactics you've shown
it,
| That you're quite as bloodthirsty as he.

they will take by compelling them to
go to bed at some regular early hour
and to rise in the morning the mo-
ment they awake; and within a fort
night nature, with almost the regu-
larity of the rising sun, will unloose
the bonds Of sleep the moment enough
repose has been secured for the wants
OF the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient
rule, and as to the question how much
sleep anyone requires each must be
