the suggestion Of John r. Clynes,
labor, for a constituent assem-
bly,. The premier emphasized that
the previous Irish convention had
failed and asked if the assembly
proposed by Mr.. Clyncs would be
any more successful. Since airy pro-
posal which Irish opinion would by
large majority accept would not
be accepted by any party in Great
Britain, MI. Lloyd George de-
chred. Therefore the government
must exercise it's judgment for the
United Kingdom and the whole en-
pire in order TO come to the WIS
est conclusion possible.
the premier reiterated his dec
laration that the government plan
held the field because it recCg nized
the fact that the house would not
satisfy Irish opinion in itsspre sent
state without destroying the essen
tial unity of the kingdom. The de-
mand in ireland for the momcnt
was for independence and secession,
not selfg government.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he wanted
to say to "our American friends,
that Eamonn De Valera was put
ting forward the same claim in eX-
actly the same language as Jeffer-
son Davis, and that some Of the
men who voted for the Irish self
determination motion in the senate
the other day had ancestors who
fought to death against conceding
to the southern states Of America
the very demand they are now sup
porting for Ireland.
The acceptance Of that demand,
declared the premier, would never
come. 1t was a demand which, if
persisted in, would lead to exactly
the same measures 4 repression as
in the case of the southern states of
America. Great Britain, he de-
clared, claimed nothing more than
the United state had claimed for
themselves. Great Britain he ad-
Ged, would stand on it's own legs.
There were certain powers which
might be conferred upon Ireland
when she settled down to an estab-
lished union and accepted partner
ship with the United Kingdom, said
the premier. but if they were given
at the present they would only be
wasted, to the harm of the union
and of herself. IT would be placing
dangerous weapons in the hands
of an Infatuated people, he declared.
The premier concluded by saying
he believed the bill would result in
bringing about the union of the
north and the south, union with
Protestants and Catholics, union
with Great Britain and Ireland.

dear. he couldn't help II. His
father was a King and he had to
~be King too. just like the Croc-
odile's children have to be Crocodiles
whether they like 1t or not. And so
there was a King and he was the
CROSSEST THING you ever knew. He
would much rather have been a circus
rider. He hated Ringing until he had
a frown two inches deep on his fore
head and scowl six inches wide on
his mouth.
One fine day he made UP his mind
that he would never even TRY to be
glad again as long as he was king. and
SO he passed law against gladness in
his kingdom. Whoever smiled he said
.0ud ne popped into prison and fer

whoever grinned should be locked II
a dungeon for two years; and whoever
laughed--but nobody ever ever die

fore: and dismal affairs they had
been, too. with everybody pulling a
long face and being SO howly-growiy
and scowly that they just couldn't
have a nice time. But this party was
different. because when the King sent
out the invitations. the lovely little
Queen stamped her foot and said:
Il won't come. my dear. l simply
won't. You've taken all the smiles
and gladness out Of your people and
your kingdom, but you have not taken
them out Of me and shall NOT go to
another one of your poky old parties.

Then the cross old thing was ten
times crosser than ever and he sent
the Queen straight to bed to stay until
after the party was over. But she
didn't mind a scrap because she had
plan. And the plan was all about
the King-sh. I'm whispering it in
YOUR ear, because he was terribly
ashamed OF it-SNUFF BOX! Yon
see the snuff box was the Kings baf
habit. He never went anywhere with
out taking the snuff box in the upper
right hand corner pocket Of his roya
robes, but he didn't like anybody te
know about that. He would just snlf
the snuff on the sly, and il anybody II

Dismay shone, in Alice's face. Her
mother noticed it.

~ ORDON was always wishing TO,
something. When it rained he
wished for snow and when the
~ sun shone he wished he could
wear his new rain coat. When his
mother had made fine apple dumplings
he wished she had made pie and when
he got a fine lot of valentines he
wished they were all Easter eggs.
There seemed TO be simply no pleasing
him in any way.
Now. of course, at his home, the
folks had to stand it-or at least they
did stand it. But when he started to
school. he found that was different.
Boys don't care much about playing
games with a playmate who is never
suited-you know how that Is your
self. And they soon left him alone.
That made him lonesome Of course,
but he never once took the hint and
tried to be a better playmate-not he!
When they left him out he Just sat
down in a corner by the fence and
wished he had some good friends and
wished he went to better school and
wished he had never heard Of this
place. And then, nine times out Of
ten, he got to feeling so pokey, there
in the fence corner all by himself, that

ever, there was something that at
tracted Alice's attention. Water from
the tank was splashed in great puddles
on the floor. The fish were swimming
about vigorously. They seemed to be
bit excited. but otherwise everything
was quite all right in the tank.
Alice pursued her cat, puzzled
meanwhile as to how that water got
splashed on the floor.
Trixie was finally found on the back
porch. licking a plate that cook had
given her with some meat stew on 1t.
Alice took Trixie in her arms and
went with her into the house. Sit
ting down in a big armchair she held
'Trixie's face between her hands and
questioned her severely.
Were you worrying those goldfish

as much as they love fish and that
they would not venture into a tank
even for the joy Of nice fish dinner.
Realizing all this. Alice felt contented
and ran into the library to get herself
a nice fairy story.
The book was finished all too soon
and Alice looked about for Trixie VINO
usually snuggled down beside her on
the window seat whenever she read
for long time.
"Trixie, Trixie," she called.
No Trixie appeared. Alice began
her search. From one room to another
she scurried. Finally she entered the
big living room where the aquarium
stood. But Trixie was not here. How

The Queen, who had been standing
quietly aside. reached quickly into her
own pocket. pulled the top off the snuff
box, and in a fash scattered the snuff
high into the air.
Kerchoo, never never never-ker-
choo. kerchoo-never was there
kerchoo--such a snee-kerchoo, kerr
choo, sneezing since the world began!
Everybody sneezed and sneezed and
sneezed again. and the king sneezed
hardest of all. and everybody tried so
hard to keep from smiling that the
sneezes went of like so many pop
guns. Then the Queen began to laugh.
She couldn't help it. The King gave
snort and a wheeze and burst into a
roar Of laughter. He couldn't help it.
And one by one the poor imprisoned
smiles and grins and laughs that had
been banished for so many years came
rushing to the sneezers. and soon the
sneezes had stopped and the banquet
hall was just one huge gale Of laugh
ter. Everybody rocked and roared to-
gether until they were so weak that
they dropped in their tracks. But a:
last they began to remember that they
were likely to have their heads
chopped before another hour was UP
and swiftly the glooms and glums
came creeping back to their faces.
When the King saw this he choked
back his own laughter and cried:
Don't stop good people! Tonight
have seen whatsa cruel master l nave
been and from this day on 1 shall ne
merry and gay enough to make up fo'
all these years of mollygrubs. Before
you all l want to thank Her Royal
sweetness, your Queen. for bringing

music play and we will begin the re!sr
of joy in my kingdom.
, So the musicians played. and every
body cheered and the King and tn
Queen danced with the scnlery mait
and the kitchen boy. And they say
and I'm very sure it's true, that from
