Till that time Mrs. Prindle was perfectly
willing to have Lady Lamberton precede her
at dinner and all that sort of thing"
And now she has made up her mind that
she will precede Lady Lamberton?"
"She has. And there you are,"
1t will cause talk of course. But -"
"A hundred thousand pounds these days is
hundred thousand pounds"
1T is. indeed" the Prime Minister re-
turned. Then after a moments thought he
said, Very we'll. I'm satisfied
The trouble is he makes a condition He
says that, in deal as big as this, his rule is
to do business with the principal only, not
with an agent"
'Meaning?"
That you are the principal"
How much money is he supposed to
have?" smiled the Prime Minister.
"All my information on that subject is this:
He is able to give hundred thousand pounds
for something he doesn't want"
II don't like it, but do what s necessary"
Splendid
'Prindle has sense of humor. you say?"
Yes"
"A Prime Minister doesn't meet that very
often"
When Colonel Webster suggested to An
thony Prindle that he go to London to see the
Prime Minister, Prindle shook his head and
said terscly, 1.-The buyer makes the terms"
The Colonel then pointed out that the Prime
Minister could not come to see him, as the
visit could not possibly be kept secret.
Prindle instantly saw the truth Of this, and
so luncheon was arranged at the home of Sir
Thomas Maperly, dependable party man
who knew how to keep his mouth shut.
Immediately after coffee had been served,
Sir Thomas left them. The Prime Minister
looked covertly at the man in the other chair.
He was big man, easily over six feet, with
big frame and head of proportionate size
covered with thick crop of rusty gray hair
which had once been red His eyes were blue,

Good morning, Mr.. Prime Minister, was

as you did, we might have been defeated. 1t

That's very kind of you, SIR

soon, but much prefer to do it indicated"
Naturally
1T will be hard fight and that brings us
to the all-important question of the sinews of
war How much is in the Party Fund.-
About fifty thousand pounds"
And one of the opposition parties has two
millions. We've got to do something"
I'VE have" the Colonel said. And here's
Colonel Webster handed to the Prime
Minister long typewriter sheet. The Prime
Minister scanned it. Then he said, There
aren't as many knights as usual"
You must remember that the opposition
was in power for eight years. and that they
went over the ground very thoroughly and left
hardly piece of standing timber
With the result that they have the afore-
said two million pounds. No wonder some old
cynic has designated those two administra-
tions, When Knighthood Was in Flower"
The Prime Minister again gave his atten-
ton to the list. Presently he said. What
contributions have been p9omised?"
About hundred thousand"
That isn't enough. Can't you think of
anyone else who'd be willing to contributor"
There's Anthony Prindle, the cotton
man. He will contribute another hundred
thousand in return for peerage."
Its tremendous contribution of course.
But isn't he rather ambitious in wanting to

LAS matter of fact he isn't ambitious at
all. He's married"
"A young wife?"
THE original one, been married nearly
forty years
Then why her sudden ambition"
Her dearest friend was Lady Lamberton.
They quareled about year ago."
"Well?"

LOS ANGELES. May S.-Apparent
defeat of most of his E. P. I. c. can
didates in Los Angeles municipal cleo
ton failed to discourage Upton Sin
clair today in his plan to spread his
"end poverty in civilization" move
ment throughout America.
Incomplete returns from yesterdays
election indicated that E. P. I. c. can
didates had succeeded in capturing
only 3 of the IL councilmanic posts
at stake. One race was undecided.
A lone E. P. I. C. candidate for a
Council post in Oakland, Calf, was
decisively defeated by an incumbent,
DR.. John F. Slavich.
Sinclair, the white haired author
politician who originated the lend
poverty in California" idea. since en-
larged to lend poverty in civilization
and was defeated last Fall in the
gubernatorial race, viewed the results
with no outward show of discourage
ment. Admittedly preparing to carry
his END poverty" campaign to the
country at large, he said:
IN political campaigns it is hard
to beat money. Men with money can
make the most noise and fool the peo-
pie.
$50 long as We can hold even 40
per cent of the voters to our program.
however, We have no reason to be dis
couraged. We have enlisted, not for a
skirmiSh or two, but for the war, and
we expect recruits.
Whatever the outcome of this cleo
ton, it will not affect in the least our
plans to spread the E. P. I. c. move
ment throughout the country"

HOME INSTRUCTION
PLAN GIVEN BOARD
Mrs. Henry Doyle Proposes
Including Cost in School
Budget.

Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, vice pres
ident of the Board of Education. served
notice yesterday she will fight to have
incorporated in the next District ap-
preparation bill an item for teaching
house bound children.
She asked the Finance Committee of
the board to consider the matter in
preparing its next budget.
Making fervent plea for some 300
physically handicapped children who
now have no way of obtaining school
ing, she argued that it really would be
economical to provide for their educa-
ton. since by doing so they could be
prevented from becoming burdens on
the community, in some cases, or, in
instances of temporary illness, the
child would be saved from repeating
0 grade.
Would Hire Special Teachers.
She proposeS that special teachers
be employed TO 60 into the homes and
hospitals and teach.
Supt of Schools Frank w. Ballou
was requested to prepare an estimate
of how much such a project would
cost and report to the Finance Com
mittee.
In addition to her contention home
instruction would be economical in the
long run, Mrs. Doyle argued that the
compulsory school attendance law is
not being complied with when no
facilities are available for instruction
of a whole class of children.
AS an off hand estimate Mrs DOVle
said she thinks about Is teachers
probably would be needed to do the
work, at cost of some $4,000 a year.
A teacher probably would have to visit
pupil only twice a week, she said.
Health Schools Crowded.
Many tubercular colored children
cannot obtain entrance into the
crowded colored health school and are
without instruction, as are the young
patients at the Glendale tuberculosis
Sanitarium, she asserted.
To illustrate the extent to which
the education of crippled children
sometimes is neglected in the District,
she told a story about a 16-year-old
boy, in whom several business men
took an interest, occasionally taking
him to base ball games despite his
physical handicap.
When Christmas came, Mrs. DOYLE
related, the men wanted to give the
boy a present. They thought of an
encyclopedia, but when they consulted
him, they learned for the first time
he could neither read nor write.

Telephone Cable
Needed Repair
Cableman Called From st. Cloud
To Repair Damage-Cars
Stalled, Cellars Flooded

Heavy, wind driven rain swept
over Sauk Centre ana the sur
rounding community about three
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.
Stalled cars and flooded streets,
and people busy mopping water
out Of the stores seemed to be the
order Of the day. A telephone cable
on the west end Of the city was
wet through by the rain, and re-
pair work was necessary.
At 4:30 Manager Forsyth report
ed that nineteen pair Of wires In
the cable were wet, and he expect
ed more to be wet by the time the
cableman arrived for whom he had
phoned. The cableman arrived in
the evening to put the wet portions
back in order. With instruments
he located the wet spots from the
telephone office. At the designated
spots the lead covering was strip
ped away and the bare wires ex-
posed. Molten paraffin, heated to
375 degrees, was poured into the
opened section, and the heat boiled
the moisture out Of the wires. With
the parraffin hardened in the ca
BILE it was recovered. The trouble
was all cleared by midnight.
