MILITANT CHAINED TO STATUE.
Work Girls Attack su6ragettes In
Injured.

LONDON, June 17.--Sunragettes march
ing through the streets carrying sandwich
banners were attacked to-day by working
girls In whitehall. Two OF the suffragettes
were knocked down and others were Sc
verely handled.
Another surrragette chained herself to
the statue OF the Duke of Wellington In
front OF the Royal Exchange. She then
shouted to passing business men TO save
imprisoned women. The crowd Jeered her
and finally a policeman succeeded In
breaking the chains and driving her away.
The Daily Sketch says this morning
that the policy of quiet pursued by the
militant suffragettes during the last few
DAYS is reported to he due TO a belief on
the part OF leaders OF the Woman's Social
and Political Union that the maximum
effect obtainible can be reached by few
weeks of violence, followed by a spell Of
inactivity.
These leaders assert with pride that the
recent outbreaks OF the militants produced
a situation which the public regarded as
intolerable and that the mllitants can
AFFORD to take a short time of. Moreover,
the Daily Sketch adds. some OF the women
have been SO roughly handled OF late that
they are in need of rest.
A novel insurance scheme in connection
with the sunragettes' fight for the vote
has Just come to light. The husband OF
one Of the suffragettes has induced under
writer's to insure him for two years
against any legal liability which he may
incur through contributions made by his
wife to the militants' funds. The payment

whispering would be more effective than

Death of, a Little Child

James Marshall Roper, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Roper. died
at their home in Central, May
27, 1914, being only IA months
old.
Marshall was taken sick Sun
day night and failed very rap
idly until Wednesday night,
when he died. Although he was
only a small child, yet while he
lived he greatly endeared him
self to his parents and those who
knew HIM best, and a vacant
place is left in the home and
heart that can only be healed by
Him who said: Cast thy bur-
dens upon the Lord, for he car
eth for you.'' Marshall was an
exceptionally bright and attrac-
tive child, but may the sweet
assurance that he has gone to be
forever with the Lord have the
effect of drawing our hearts and
minds away from those things
which are seen and are temporal
to the unseen and eternal home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roper thank
their friends VINO helped and
stood by them in their aflic ction,
and trust that rich blessings
may ever come their way.
