that story as "bluster' and repeated

 London, September 14-(Special.)--The opinion expressed by Theodore Roosevelt, discussing Lecky's History of the union.' has been dragged into the home rule wrangie. MT. Mcdonnell Bodwin the lawyer and author, quotes Roosevelt as saying to him while the colonel was Pres ident of the United States: T cannot un- derstand how any man, having once read Lecky's history, could be Unionist Least of all can understand how the man who wrote 1t should be Unionist."
 The act of union, itself Is now generally admitted to have been an infamy. But stiIl there are scores of Unionists who grow impatient at any suggestion of its defects or remembrance of the bribery, corrup- ton and fraud by which it was forced through parliament.
 Within the last 12 years the average British workingman's cost of living has increased by 2zh per cent The secre- tary of the British Steel Smokers Trade Union has just issued an interesting table demonstrating this vexatious fact. The table shows the cost to the family of one of the officials of the society of weekly supply of certain groceries obtained through cooperative stores in the years 1900, 1904 and 1912. The following are the figures:

STUDENTS GET ONE HOLIDAY.
Open Windows OF SchoOl-Water
Pipes Burst.


Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 16.-Students
of the Lawrence Manual Training high
school took an expensive but effective
way of closing school They opened
all of the windows last night and shut
off the heat. When the doors were
opened this morning an icy draft was
blowing through the building and two
inches of water was in the rooms of
the lower floor. Several of the water
pipes burst and the water had gone
through the ceiling and down to the
first floor. Superintendent Smiths
office was also flooded.
The idea Of closing school probably
was suggested to the high school pu-
pills by the fact that the University of
Kansas was unable to hold classes last
week on account of the cold weather
and a lack of fuel. The hot water
heating plant of the high school was
efficient In heating the building in the
cold spell and the students saw that
time in skating and coasting was to
give the weather a little help.
