CLIMAX IN BRITISH
POLITICAL CRISIS TUESDAY

London, March By The A. F)-
David L!oyd George, the prime minister,
returned to London this Afternoon from
Cnequers Court, where he spent the
week end. His only political guest over
the period away was Charles A. Me-
Curdy, chief coalition liberal whip.

residence in Downing street, the premier
was visited by Lerd Birlzenhead, the
lord high chancellor, and Ninsten Spen-
eer Churchill, secretary fer the colonies
The conference between the trio lasted
an heur. Lord Birkenhead tonight gave
a Political dinner at his town residence
The disposition in political quarters in
London seems to be believe that the eli
max in the ciisis is not likely to be
reached before next Tuesday, when Ar
thur j. Balfour is expected to deliver
an important speech in London. Accord
ing to an apparently irlpired statement
issued today there is no change in the
situation. Mr.. Lloyd Georges offer to
resign has been held in allegiance but
not Withdrawn He still is awaiting as
surance of the continued loyalty OF the
uniouist party to the coalition govern
ment.
The premier points out shat candidates
are being chosen in various constitu-
eneies for the approaching general elec-
! tons who openly disclaim Mr.. IJayd

The Old Horse,s Annea1.

Dear Uncle jed: am writing a story
about the old horses appeal
Once upon time there was A king who
wished justice to be done to his people.
So he had a bell hung in tower in the
middle of the square and everyone who
was injured by another should ring the
bell and the council would come and fix
it UP.
There Was a hero who had a noble
horse which carried him through many
HARD battles in his youth. He grew old
and his master turned him out into the
common.
The horse went wandering about until
he came to the city square and up 70 the
tower. From long use the end Of the
rope was worn out and the people tied
a piece of vine to the rope
Driven by hunger, the old horse began
biting at the vine; the bell rang very
loud and clear The bell seemed to say
Somebody Is in trouble; somebody is in
trouble" The council and the judge came
and seeing an old horse pleading for JUS
tice looked into the case.
The king gave the horse to the owner
and said that II he did not feed and care
for. it that ne would pay a fine OF fv'
hundred thousand dollars.

factory in New York city. where I was
made oAt OF pieoe Of cedar wood,
carved into shape, and filed with lead I;
then was painted red and put into a
box with IL other of my friends.
We knew not where we were going.
but had a long ride which did not come
to an end for several minutes.
At the end Of our journey We were
taken of the tra&n on which We were
riding and carried to a magnificent
schoolhouse. where We were put into q
teachers desk.
Several days later a little girl asked
for a pencil, and I happened to be the
lucky one to be given to her
She sharpened me and then began tc
use me. Every day L was glad when
school came to an end. 50 that 1 couio

I was sharpened - much that
