MEMBER OF ENGLISH HOUSE
OF LORDS IS KIDNAPPED
He Is Forcibly Taken To Gathering
of Socialists and Bombarded
with Questions

LONDON, Jan. S.-The London
Standard Is authority for the state
ment that Lord Rcnaldshay. member
of parliament, was kidnapped last night
after addressing political meeting
and was forced into gathering OF CO.
cialists who bombarded him with queE.
lions.
Lord Ronaldshay left the first meet
ing in company with several friends.
but was forcibly taken from them. He
was compelled TO spend several hours
among the socialists and was on the
verge OF collapse when finally liber-
ated.
II Is said that several prominent
politicians will be prosecuted for TAX
ing part in the kidnapping. Ii was the
second irdigrity heaped upon Lord
Ronaldshay during the evening, as his
owr meeting broke up in disorder, ow-
ing 10 the tactics of numerous rowdie5
in the audience.
The public obliteration Of Premier
Herbert Asquith as a result of the
fierce antagonisms aroused by the
present election campaign is today
being predicted by almost as many
liberals OF which party Asquith Is the
head, as conservatives.
The opinion is growing that Lloyd
George, author of the famous budget
and undoubtedly the greatest power in
the liberals ranks, will succeed AS
quith if the liberals win the election.
AS the head and shoulders of the lib
erals fight, Lloyd-George is naturally
being subjected to the most bitter at
tacks, but II is this very fact that
emphasizes his leadership and will
probably result in his elevation to the
premiership should the liberals win.
The Times today acquits Asquith of
responsibility for the increasing dem
onstrations of violence, that bid fair
to result in a heavy death roll before
the election Is finished. but says that
"Lloyd-George has set himself delib-
erately TO the task OF infiaming the
passions of the people. not only
against class but against individuals
as well. He cannot be acquitted of
encouraging ruffiianism."
The controversy over Irish home
rule, which the liberals have promised
in the event of their success, Is be-
coming more intense every day and
now occupies almost as much atten-
tion as the question of tariff reforms.

THE ANNOYANCE

An analysis OF gas from the stomach,
shows tina. it consists to a great ex,
\ tent of nitrogen aud carbonic acid. II
( Is therefore probable that some OF
the gas In the stomach consists simp.r
OF air which has been swallowed. al
though for the most part, the source
OF iatulence is the gas given off from
the food in the abnormal processes
OF decomposition.

Young Glenn was given more OF

Smoking may not be so very
wrong" he said. But the smoking

TO crime. and need only point TO
your own brother as an example. Now
Glenn, in this trouble that has come

as Alzina nodded assent Mrs. Lasbury

her shawl and added condescendinSly,
well. wish you joy Of it."
When she was alone Alzina thought
about the Christmas tree she had so
braveIy planned in Mrs. LasDury's
presence, and she tried not to remem-
Der that she was all alone and that Der
natural reserve had shut her away
from the few friends she might have
possessed. There was no one TO re-
member her this lonely Christmas eve,
and so she must try and remember the
few people she knew. She tied bright
dime in each thumb of the red nit
in Nvh
sue paper. placed them in the milk
pail outside the door. She CROPPED down
cellar for a jar of mincemeat and made
it ready to take to old Mrs. Peterkin in
the morning.
When she opened the pantry door to
find some bits of suet for the birds she
met a surprise. There on the broad
shelves the conscience stricken Mrs.
Iasbury had arranged two mince pies
and a golden one of pumpkin. There
was n small roasted chicken and a
dish of cranberry sauce. besides sew
eral vegetables ready to be warmed
up. The hot tears welled into Alzina's
eyes.
THAT just shows that everybody is
better hearted than l think they are"
she murmured as she closed the door

Offering I'm ashamed of myself

Before she went to bed Alzina read
the beautiful story of the first Christ

meaning for her as 1t did this ami
versary of the blessed birthday.
She awoke cheerful and cOntented,
and, while there was no Christmas
greeting awaiting her from the silent
rooms of the house. she resolved that
when another year had rolled around
the Christmas season would find
happy gathering under her own roof
