Mr.. TfIlett nung back his head triie
impatiently as he replied:
The English workingman Is not more
apathetic than the workingman anywhere
else where conditions are bad. 1t Is al
ways difficult to stir men up to revolt
when they have empty stomachs. There
will never be a revolt with hungry men.
though there may be with hungry women
one of these days, but am sure lack of
courage and enterprise is due to lack Of
physical sustenance."

Yes, they may. but they are useful in

London, December IL
I've been a-slumming, dear ones, all
by myself: partly in a most superior
Il taxicab and partly on foot I've
been through the mean streets and the
meaner streets. and I've seen the unem-
pIoyeds, and the wouldn't-be-employeds-
if-they-could.
1 have had an audience with the Mon
arch of Mile End Road, one Ben Tillett,
once a dock worker. now the king Of the
docks and a serious rival to His Majesty
George V, for he plays upon the British
workman as a skilled performer on a
piano. and who can say how far he may
not so?
Between ourselves, 1t takes some doing
to rouse the British workman from his
apathy. He is undeniably dull and stodgy.
He doesn't want to be reused. He resents
il. ordinarily, yet in the strong hands OF
Ben TilIett he skips and jumps and pirou-
cites mentally, he rebels. rises in his
wrath, strikes and suffers.
A DIVIDED REPUTATION.
Consequently. in the East End. Little
Bennie," as he's fondly called. is &C
claimed. In the West End he is anathe-
matized.
But neither feeling seems to trouble him
much. He just goes his own way. and II
the end is prison-well. he has been there
before, and can stand it again. And be-
cause England is England and you can
speak your mind out on any and all sub
jects. in the squares and parks and halls,
he goes on talking and agitating and
pointing out wrongs, and ways Of forcing
redress, and nobody interferes with him
in the very least
OF course, he wouldn't like being called
the Monarch OF Mile End Road. because.
like John Mitchell, Eugene Debs and the
rest of them. he is all for Equality and
Fraternity.
Recently London has been quaking lest
Ben would loose the dogs of war and or
der a general strike, as a result OF local
fracas at Newcastle. And railroad and
shipping strike in the Christmas season

heart.

the Powerful Person with mine own eyes.
1 chose a fine Saturday morning to go
down to the Mile End Road and beard
the lion in his den.
When I say it was fine I simply mean
it was the best London can do in the way
of weather. this time OF year-that is. IT
wasn't raining: it was only gray and
dreary. over here We are grateful fo=
small favors.
Do excuse my harping so on the wealth

of conversation with Londoners. and
habits are SO catching.
LONDON TAKES A REST.
ON Saturday morning the city teens |

sleepy London really wakes then. for the
work of the whole day has to be finished |
I'm half time, so that big stores. business
offices and national and municipal build

can assume its quiet Sunday for the rest
OF Saturday.
Clerks in high hats and frock coats
and errand boys with little caps over
their red ears dash about attending to
the last necessary details before closing
time. and there is hum of voices. a
attic of boxes and papers and a general
atmosphere Of suppressed excitement.

IN ARABIC VERSE, SO
SAYS AN EDUCATOR

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-That
the Lords Prayer was originally
written in Arabic verse was the asser-
ton by Prof c G. TORY, of Yale. at
to-day's session Of the American Orien-
tai Society at the University of Penn

Professor Martin Bloomfield, of Johns

statement that the ancients used sim
pllfied spelling and that it was more
simplihed and sensible than that used
by the mJderns.
As an indication ~ blue blood and
of legitimate birth the ancients used to
swear on the thigh, according to Prof.
