 English labor reminds me of the idiot boy.

KING ATTENDS NEW PARLIAMENT TROOPS LINE ROUTE OF ROYAL PROCESSION IN BEL
 FAST. MAKES PLEA FOR PEACE MONARCH APPEALS TO ALL IRISH TO COOPERATE TO END
 STRIFE.
(Wsstsrn Newspaper Union News ssrics.)

Belfast, June 23 - The northern parliament was opened here by the king, who was accompanied by Queen Mary, with ali the pageantry and cere- mony with which formal actions of British sovereigns are surrounded. The king wore the uniform of an admiral, with the blue sash of the Order of the Garter across his breast, while the queen, who looked pale and nervous, was in white satin.
 There were trumpeters in uniforms of gold, who blew fanfares as the royal couple arrived, and officers of state in naval, military and mediaeval uniforms.
 A modern note was struck by the kings speech, which he read. His plea for peace and conciliation between the two branches of the Irish race fell on welcome ears, for in no part of Ire land is peace more dosired than in Ulster.
 Pointing to the fact that the eyes of the whole empire were on Ireland, and making an earnest plea for an end to strife among the Irish people, the king said:
 'T appeal to all Irish to pause, to stretch out the hand of forbearance and conciliation, to forgive and to for get and to join in making for the land which they love a new era of peace, contentment and good will"
 During the kings speech the audi ence remained standing. Previously prayers had been said by the primate of Ireland, the Angelican-Presbyterian moderator and the senior Methodist Episcopal minister.
 At luncheon Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, made no pronounce ment in proposing the health of the king, and the king did not reply, the toast being received with military hon ors.
 In his message to Premier Craig, Premier Lloyd George said:
 "The government, parliament and people of northern Ireland have proved their capacity and patriotism by the spirit in which they have discharged the first responsibility of self-govern- ment, and they have a great opportun- ity before them. I hope and believe that their influence and example will assist to set the whole of Ireland ere long on the path of practical co-opera- ton, which alone can lead to realiza- ton of Irish ideals and the security of Irish interests.
 "The government of Ireland act has put Ireland's future in the hands of it's own people, provided only that south ern Ireland renounces its claim to se- cession from the empire"
 Scenes in the streets during the roy al progress were unprecedented. Troops lined the route and the police were useful in preventing Overenthusi- astic crowds of loyalists from overrun- ming the roadway.
 Tickets assigned to various parts of the city had an easy task, for there were no disorders. The Nationalists and Sim Feiners confined themselves to refraining from all participation in the ceremonies.

When I was in high school we gave an ntertainment-"Juli Caesar" In which had a minor part. Without coat or collar, sleeves rolled up high, and a blanket for a tOga I was a Roman citizen. I was also one of the stage managers.
 After one scene the curtain stopped about two feet from the floor. I stepped on the stage to right the diff ficulty. Without warning, the curtain came down in a wreck on my poor defenseless head. I was stunned for a moment. Then began to realize what a grotesque figure I must be, for I had discarded my toga while shifting scenes, and there I was standing alone on the stage amid the ruins, feeling the bump on the top of my head.
 But I smiled in spite of myself, gave professional bow, and stalked with dignity to the wings. It was several minutes before the audience quieted down so that the play could go on. Tribune.
