PEERS SUBJECT OF RIDICULE
Lansdowne, Leader Of The Opposition,
Talks Like he Was EXPECTING De-
feat-calls the Coming Election
the First Round.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Every available
prominent speaker of both parties. as
well as a host of minor men, were en-
gagged tonight in addressing political
meetings in various parts of the coun-
try.
Premier Asquith, at a meeting In
Brighton, from which women were ex-
cluded, and Chancellor Lloyd George,
at two meetings in London, made a
great play at the expense of the peers
oratorical campaign. The Premier
thought that if the peers could only
be induced to prolong this campaign
another fortnight at the same rate as
to volume and venom, the Liberals
might almost be content to hold their
tongues altogether.
The Chancellor expressed the be-
lief that the peers never worked so
hard in their lives They seemed to
think that the House of Commons was
an assembly of lunatics and that the
peers were their keepers. The peers,
he said, were walking through the val
ley of humiliation in order to find
work for the unemployed. j
The Chancellor also caused great |
laughter by describing his budget as
simply a revised and enlarged edition
of Kipling's ballad, Cooks Sons,
Dukes Sons, Sons of the Belted Earl,
Pay, Pay, Pay"
Arthur J. Balfour, leader OF the OPP
position in the House of Commons,
speaking at Hanwell, said that 1910
would remain in the history Of the
Empire as the year in which was
fought the first round of the strug
gle which might last for years, per-
haps generations, and become dom
nant influence upon all that they, as
held most dear Never be-
'ore had the ideals of two great State
parties been SO widely divergent.

One hundred Of the largest and

offer to all the widows residing with
in the confines Of . town of Pembroke,
q small Massachusetts village. 1t Is q
time-honored custom. and its origin ID
beyond recall Of the oldest inhabit-
ants memory. The weirs are town
property. John LIE Fargo is In charge
of the fishing, and he sees to 1t that
every householder gets all the herring
he is entitled to. always remembering
that no widow is overlooked on the
extra 100.
Each male resident Of the town is
allowed to come to the weirs and
catch 200 herrings. for which he pays
50 cents. But any Of the widows OF
the town may lave their 200 fish at
that rate and In addition 100 fish are
given to them free. according to the
old custom.
Lively scenes are enacted as the
residents rush to the brook where the
fishing IL done. Oftentimes as many
as Is or 80 are waiting their turn.
The brook bears the name Of Bar.

seventeenth century. within stones

or brook, a. 1t has been called in
later years, flows into the North river
at Marshfield boundary, but the place
where the old homestead used to
stand Is the only one in its entire
length where fishing is permitted.
From 10000 to 10000 herring are
taken from the brook every year, but
the only fish sold of this number ars
the ones left by the householders who
do not care to take their share. These
are sold to merchants. the revenue
going to the town treasury.

out Of the oficial pailful. an honor
shown to but few.
AZ the game went on It became evil
dent that this was to be smuggling

at the nth inning and the batters had
things all their own way. and at the
end Of the eighth inning seven Of the
eight bats that had been provided had
been cracked and rendered useless.
The second half Of the ninth inning
opened with the Ringtown Rippers
one run ahead. Two Betzville men
got bases on balls and then Sim Pill
ger broke the last bat, making base
hit.
When Ony Bets stepped to the plate
he gazed around IN dismay. Ring
town was one run ahead, but Betzville
had three men ON bases and two out.
One blow of ony's bat would finish
the game-but he had no bat. Some
one suggested fence picket, but Ony
hesitated. In his strong hands q fence
picket would have bent and broke like
straw. Defeat stared Betzville In the
face.
At that moment Aunt Rhinocolura
Bets stood up In the grandstand and
shouted to Ony those thrilling words
which will go down in Betzviile an.

''Hold on, Ony," she cried. "Wait
It'll fetch you my leg!"
