the Tunbridge Wells cricket field.
The building was totally destroyed.
A large photograph Of Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the militant leader now in
Holloway jail, was left at the scene
of the fire by one of the 4arsonettes"
At the home office, Secretary Nc

Emmeline Pankhurst, Jailed militant

The militants are 'as pleased as
Punch" at a tale of discord in the
royal household at Buckingham Pal
ace, caused by differences OF opinion
on the merits and demerits of votes
for women. Gossip has it tnat Lady
Salisbury and another lady-in-wait-
ing to Queen Mary already have re-
signed; that several other court ladies'
are absent from the palace and that
her majesty has threatened to demand
the designations OF her eAtire house

In England one is "put through" by

George by representing herself as the
Duchess Of Fife and giving the pri-
vate royal telephone number. The
court circular has been silent on the
incident and gossip differs as to what
happened.
The suffragette said that his majes-
ty merely said: II cannot talk to
you,' when she informed him who
she was and why she had called him,
and hung up the receiver.
Other versions were that King
George was furiously angry and that
he demanded that his equery imme-
diately find out what woman OF the
household had told the kings private
phone call Still another story is
that the king took the matter as a
| joke.
BY custom and unwritten law, the
king and queen are forbidden to re-
ceive in audience any representatives
of political party as such and the
suffragettes tried to telephone as a
last resort.

eliminate the three years clause.

WILSON IN ENGLISH EYES.
An Enigma to Them as He Is to
 American Public Men.

Woodrow Wilson listens and asks questions, but ventures neither com m ent nor opinion. He has the rare gift of being able to absorb every thing without giving up anything in return.
 This does not mean timidity; every one is agreed as to that. He has ideas of his own and is not afraid of expressing them when there is occa- sion. Neither is he weak, as events have already shown. Typical of do ing what he thinks is right was his disapproval of the inaugural ball, which has caused lively tempest in the Washington teacup. For nearly hundred years it has been the custom for the festivities of inauguration day to wind up with a public ball, to which any one might go who cared to buy ticket, and which the president and his wife graced with their pres ence.
 Neither the president nor his wife was expected to dance; it was suffi- cient for them to make a circuit of the ball room, escorted by a self-appoint- ed Washington committee of arrange ments to talk for a few minutes with those persons of sufficient distinction or sufficient push who were able to get near enough to the president to be presented, and then he was per mitted to retire and spend his first

The Camp Fire Girls of America, or ganized on plans similar to the Boy Scouts, has increased the interest of it's several thousand girl members in woodcrafts and the whole series of nature and outdoor books. The sum mer camps for girls which have grown so popular in recent years have also turned the girls interest to sto- ries of outdoor life.
 Little girls like series of stories which take one heroine through years of simple everyday life with an oc- casional mild thriller for seasoning. The heroine invariably has a name ending in lie, as Katie, Susie and Dot tie, and she usually progresses through her biography at the rate of about a book a year. Fairy tales hold their own because there is something of the same delight in reading about fairy princesses who have only to wish for anything they want that there is in following a subline1y per feet young miss through endless in cidents which always turn out right

! House.
 In a sense, in the past the president
 used to be regarded somewhat as the | sovereign is now, who may suggest but must not interfere, while to-day the president is looked upon very much as the prime minister is, who not only outlines a policy but is strong enough and courageous enough to carry it out even if it should be op- posed by members of his cabinet or members of his party in parliament.
 Of course, no premier can hope to carry out his policy unless he is able to count upon the loyal support of his party majority in parliament, but a president may do what he considers is required even against the opposi- ton of his party, if he convinces the country that he is right and the party is wrong.
 MT. Wilson is represented by some of the nervous as being about to come to Washington with his war paint on'' and holding a whip in his hand to hurry the reconstruction process such intention.
 It is true he has somewhat frankly expressed himself as believing that certain reforms were essential and that he should endeavor to carry them out, but he has not as yet gone into details, which he is keeping to him self until he can formally present them to congress: for, unlike most of his predecessors, MT. Wilson has sent up no trial balloons nor permitted

WHAT GIRLS READ
The Triumph of the Romance of
 the Boarding School

Feminine psychology may baffle in it's more advanced stages, but the sub He process which directs the choice of reading matter for femininity's s early teens seems to be quite human and ordinary. The backf1sch likes to read about slim. graceful girls who skim through the magic haze of boarding school land in the daintiest of number three pumps.
 Staging Little Women may revive the steady average popularity of the Alcott books for a winter, and a. new book by Mrs. Burnett rouses fresh in- terest in the old standbys, Little Lord F'auntleroy,'' and others. Pads and fancies rise and wane, in books as in hats or toys. A story teller at one of the Public LFbrary's story-teIl- ing hours charms the children with a wonder tale. When they find that it was taken from Kipling's Just So Stories there is an immediate rush for the book, until it has been read by every little girl in the room ana EH the youngsters outside who cou1dn4 get 1t for lack of space but had to stand around waiting to hear what happened from the Tucker ones.

leaks" to test public sentiment.

Not Knowing MT. W1l6On-knOWlnS nothing of the real man-what many democrats fear is that the new pres ident will come to Washington with a program which, without consultation with them, he will insist congress
 must adopt or reject at it's peril, and members of congress, especially those of long service, thing they know a great deal better what kind of legis- Iation should be enacted than pres ident without legislative training and whose entire practical knowledge of politics is embraced in the two years he has served as governori of New Jersey It is this uncertainty that makes Mr. Wilson such an interesting speculation.
 Does he, for instance, favor arbitra- ton on the Panama canal tolls or strict adhesion to the Democratic platform, which approved exempting American vessels from the payment of tolls? No one knows. So with many other questions of the first inn portance.
 A great many persons think they are able to interpret MT. Wilson and to forecast his future actions, but as a matter of fact they can only guess. The man who before his nomination had the reputation of knowing no con cealment now turns out to be, in some respects, one of the most reticent men American politics have Maurice Low, in the Lon don Morning Post.

POINTS OFT INTEREST.

There are very few stores where you can get such a variety of goods quick 1y as at Faadford B. Smiths Hun dreds of people attend the Saturday sales every week and buy aE-tioIea ranging from house dresses to bicycle tires. Many of these things are sold at cut prices Saturdays and it Eays to watch the advertisements.
 A Sale of Interest.
 Interest is sustained by people when they know that they may participate in any event, consequently the an nouncement by Caesar AGdsch, Inc that they are to have a sale Saturday which all may Join in, by reason of Cheerful Credit, should arouse great enthusiasm. Never before have styles been so striking, so diversified, so IIb- eral in their variety. The Balkan war has had it's influence, and this spring on women's garments appear the vivid Eastern colors the natty Balkan blouse effects, the gracefully draped skirts. Millinery styles are bewftch- ing, dashingly trimmed, becoming in shape. Mems styles, boo are just as so that you will find that last years suit won't do.'' These special values for Saturday have a real mean ing for everybody, for Cheerful Credit makes it possible for all to purchase what they wish

But the real favorite, the book which is read and re-read with passionate in tensfty, is the fresh from -the-presse ses story of contemporary heroine, who in this year of our Lord, 1913, is sup posed to be attending a fashionable and expensive boarding school right in New York city, and to be talk en out to promenade Fifth avenue be- hind the teacher, throwing notes out of her window to some waiting Ro- meo, having violent ''crushes'' on some one in the class above, and being adored by some one in the class be- low.
 Girls might be divided into two classes, those who are and those who are not in boarding school. Those who are feel a glow of pleasure and pride at reading their own experi- ences and emotions wildly written out in splendid sounding words The other class exists for one reason or another, but it's not their fault in any event. And the next best thing to be- ing in paradise is reading about it. Which might indicate that the school girl chooses her favorite book very sensibly and naturally.
