NOT A CASE OF ASSAULT
Act That Surprised English con9re-
cation for the Moment Was Quite
Easily Explained.

Rev. j. NJ. Bacon, in his book Of rem
iniscences, Records Of an Aeronaut,"
tells the story of an unusual scene
connected with certain church which
is distinctly amusing. He says:
THE corner seat Of prominent
pew was invariably occupied by the
principal farmer of the place, who
was likewise church warden. lmme-
diately behind him sat his brother
burly, athletic man, whom few
would have cared to stand up to, still
less to be knocked down by. 1t was
surprising, therefore, to say the least,
to see this powerful fellow, during
one mornings service, just as the con-
gregation rose for a hymn. strike his
brother, without apparent provocation,
a heavy blow In the back.
The brother did not resent the
assault in the least-indeed, If his ex-
preston indicated any emotion, 1t was
rather that OF satisfaction and tri-
umph.

THE KAN1rowoo P1Lor.


An enormous crowd gathered at
Chester, England few months ago,
to witness the funeral Of an electrical
engineer, who was carried to the
cemetery in coffin that had been
laboriously constructed by himself
out OF 1000 match boxes. These, with
their tops visible and advertising their
respective makers. were vanished
over and strengthened inside with
wood. On the coffin was placed an
electric battery.
Some years ago maiden lady died
at Calemis-sur-Lys In France, who
was reported to have. been a cham
pion snuff taker. Her funeral was
most extraordinary. Her wish was
that her coffin should be filled with
tobacco, the floor Of the mortuary
chamber carpeted with It, and the
heir to the property charged to scat
ter tobacco before the hearse on the
way to the cemetery.

Foreign countries were little known
and each people regarded the other as
barbarians worshipping false gods and
little worthy of consideration in peace
or quarter in war. Holy wars were
fought sincerely enough by the igno-
rant masses, although the leaders were
usually hard-headed business men who
knew why they were in the field and
what we're the probabilities of loot.
But universal peace under information
al agreement is still dream OF the
Utopianc, and war is always imminent.

HOLLANDS QUEEN

Wilhelmina Finds Condi-

She Investigates.

The Hague, April 11.-Queen Will
helmina, who is said to be the most
practical housewife among the wom-
en- of European royalty, has conduct
ed personal investigation into the
living conditions of workmen in Am
sterdam. Despite the national love
of cleanliness the queen found many
places where sanitation was at a
discount and she expressed surprise
and disgust that some OF her subjects
lived in such squalor.
One of the. places she visited was
in damp underground cellar with
no windows or ventilating facilities.
Another house had reached the limit
Of decay and the queen remarked that
she momentarily expected the delapi-
dated shelter to fall in while she was
talking to the inmates. ~

ASQU|7H STANDS
FOR REELECTION
England's Prime Minister
Candidate in By-Elec-
tio,l Tuesday.

London, April lin the little
Scotch district of East Fife next
Wednesday by-election will take
place which is bound to have it's niche
in history. Prime Minister Herbert
H. Asquith, leader of the coalition
stand again in the territory which
has kept him a member of the house
of commons steadily since 1886.
An English by-election. always has
an intensity, wide interest such as
is unknown to local event of the
sort in. the United States. 1t tells
the way the wind is blowing in the
long stretches of time between gen.
eral elections. In the present case
the whole world will have it's eye
fixed on East Fife.
1t has been taken for granted that
Mr.. Asquith will be returned as the
Unionists did not nominate a candi-
date. But he had scarcely announced
in parliament his decision to as
sumo the secretaryship for war in
addition to his place at the head of
the cabinet and resigned his commons
seat to put himself before the peoples
tribunal again when James Larkin,
the famous labor leader, long a
thorn in Mr.. Asquith's side, an
nounced he would oppose the premier
at the polls. Larkin, contrary to the
general impression, is not an Irish
man. He went over to Dublin from
Manchester to head the dissatisfied
transport workers.
The militant suffragettes did moi
take the trouble as an announcement,
butt proceeded posthaste to the scene.
Led by General Mrs. Flora Drum
mond, they began continuation OF
their long campaign against the man
whom they believe to be the wors.
enemy of their cause.
A new era of English constitutional
history may begin when Mr.. AsQuith
returns to London after the election.
His friends are sure he will come
strengthened and fortified. The final
outcome may be a Federation, like
the United States; it may befurther
socialist measures along the line OF
national insurance and old age pen
sions; it may be the final downfall
Of the house of lords and the crown:
at the worsh it may be armed civil

Protestant, the renewal of the old
conflict of roundhead and cavalier.
Critical Period. 81.
It is a critical period OF English
deyelooment. The United Kingdom Is
seething with discordant elements.

In this strait the English govern
mhnt has strong man at its head.
Recent events, the apparent totter-
ing Of the cabinet, have only served
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1914-04-12

to show the greatness of Asquith.
For eight years he has guided the
destinies of the empire. He has
weathered dozens of storms which
would have sent most premiers to
the bottom.
Just eight years ago last Wednes-
day, Sir Herbert kissed the hand of
King Edward at Biarritz, the Spanish
summer resort, and thereby became
prime minister and first lord of the
treasury. A few days before Sir Hen
ry Campbell Zimmerman had resign
ed. Mr.. Asquith had been chancellor
of the exchequer in the Campbell
Bannerman cabinet since December
10, 1905, when that cabinet was
formed.
1t was generally remarked that
Mr.. Asquith was a sounder and more
able statesman than Sir Henry, but
lacked those personal qualities which
endeared his predecessor. Time has
not served to change this judgment.
Sir Herbert Is the cold man Of steel.
the immovable, the rock amid the
tempest. But the attack Of the poet
William Watson, for instance, Will
illustrate his lack Of personal attrac-
ticn.
Mr.. Asquith is now GA years old, a
stalwart Yorkshireman with crown
of snow white hair.
PrOtege Of Gladstone.
He was a protege of William E.
Gladstone, whose attention was at
tracted to him by a speech made al
dinner. Mr.. Gladstone saw the
great political future of young AS
quith.
1t will probably prove, indeed, that
| the protege will put through the very
measure, home rule, which split the
patrons party asunder and proved
his undoing.
! When East Fife first sent Mr.. AS
ouith to parliament Mr.. Gladstone Inn
mediately took him off the benches
and made him secretary of state for
home affairs. Here his talents show
ed clearly.
He is a remarkably able lawyer
with a fondness for epigrams. He Is
| considered the keenest debater since
| Gladstone.
There is the greatest contrast pc
tween the premier and "Jim" Larkln
| Where Mr.. Asquith is the prince OF
logic. Larkin hurls his arguments al
his audience without any sequence OF
cohesion. The latter is prophet

Springfield, Mass, April 1.-The
junior class of the Technical high
school In it's annual exhibition of
millinery accomplishments, showed
both street and dress hats, and in no
case did the cost exceed one-third Of
the price charged by milliners for
similar headgear. n
In one of the classes the average
cost of the hats displayed was $1.59,
the range Of cost being from As cents
to 1886. The girls furnish their own
material, and the hats are theirs at
the close of the course. Each girl is
expected to make two or three new
hats and make over one old one in
the season. Many of the girls make
a hat for mother or sister. One
girl made for 1927 an exact copy OF
a hat which wac displayed in local
milliner's window as very special
