He's just Old Friend.
He may convulso British politics,
| he may shake empires, but when he
arrives at Crlccicth he is Just their
old friend, David. They like tho
man who grew up with them; I'm
fact, they love him. hut there Is no
particular respect and certainly no
awe OF him. what no has done IL
nothing more than any son OF Crlc-
cieth should and ought to do.
In fact. II Is part OF their self
appointed duty to prevent him be-
coming swollen-headed and vain

keep him IN his place. And affec-
ton cannot be allowed 20 butt In.
Six days ago Lloyd George took
three of us along TO his old Sunday
school. We were 10 hear the school
supcrintendents address. Tho prime
minister wished us to understand
the real secret OF the greatness OF
Wales.
We were glad to fall in with his
wishes. lie had been worried and
distrait. His government had been
almost split asunder: he was the
victim OF plots ana intrigues. Half
n dozen sections were attempting to
drive him out OF the premlership.
Anything that gave him sense OF
relief was n benefit In every way.
Parable For Premier.
And so tho school superintendent
gave out his text. II was from st
Mark, xii; Ia: The Parable OF the
Wicked Husbandman."
This Is the heir. Come. let us
XIII him. and the inheritance shall
be ours. And they took him and
killed him and cast him out OF the

what sickly smile And he stayed O
very little time after that.
But the school superintendent
meant It all for the best. Anythins
approaching the besetting siH OF
vanity was entirely contrary u his
principles, =
Yet. despite these occasional rc.

when lie Digs Potatoes.
And when one reads the stories o.
Lloyd George digging potato fur
rows In the garden for relaxation !
Is really q falsehood, What has hap
pened is that Mrs. George ha
! found him n Job that she consider
really useful. although she admit
that he is little good at It. In fact
, once he has set row OF potatoe
with infinite labor she usually come

again.
Brought up IN a little four-roome,

Lloyd George now lives In the swag
: gerest-looking house near the VII
lagc. In appearance II lacks n
elaboration and resembles the couu

ness man with $4,000 to spar
would be likely to erect for h
family.
