'TARIFF ISSUE COMES UP Opposition Springs the ySub_lect :nd the Liberals Declare They Are Sat- isfied to' Discuss the Matter Before the Voters—As Usual Prominent Women Are Taking a Leading Part in the Campaign. London, Dec. 2.—The ultimate effect of the opposition’s attempt to unload the tariff reform issue for the purposes of the present campaign is still in doubt. . While the Unionists were greatly encouraged by Mr. Balfour’s sudden and surprising announcement that he would not.object to the submission of the question to a referendum the lead- er's bold stroke has far from disheart- ened the Liberals. ‘The latter find therein good ammunition and are ac- cusing their opponents of changing their policy daily in a desperaté effort to catch votes and so secure power at any cost. Moreover, the more ardent tarlff re- formers, who congratulated Mr. Bal- four on his skillful maneuvering, are not so ready now to endorse his pledge. Speaking at Manchester Andrew Bo- nar Law, Unionist member from Dul- wich division of Camberwell, refused “to eat my words,” adding that if the Unionists obtained an adequate ma- jority at the polls they would be bound to enact a tariff reform meas- ure. The first members returned to the new parliament will be Unionists. In many constituencies nominations will be made at once and in at least nine instances there will be no contests. These include the city of London seats and those held by Joseph Cham- berlain and Jesse Collings of Birming- ham and George Wyndham of Dover. Leaders Working Hard. The leaders are keeping hard at it. Secretary Churchill is leading the van of the government forces, addressing two or three meetings every evening, besides making brief speeches durmg the day while traveling from one end of 'the country to the other. Frederick E. Smith, a barrister and writer on international law, Unionist member for the Walton division of Liverpool, is running a good second to the secretary, while Chancellor Lloyd- George, John Burns and other effec- tive speakers from both sides are keeping busy. Lord Lansdowne is showing great energy in support of his proposals for the reform of the house of lords. He addressed a bjg meeting at Ports. mouth.in the interests of Lord Beres ford, whose seat for Portsmouth is seriously ‘threatened by the Liberals Sir Edward Grey has arranged to re- ply to Lansdowne. The women, as usual in England are taking a prominent part in the campaign and residents of the East End, where the working class commu- nities live, are frequently diverted by the appearance of motor cars filled with fur clad women. FIVE FAMILIES DRIVEN OUT Suffer From Exposure to ‘Cold in St. Paul Blaze. St. Paul, Dec. 2.—Flame and smoke, which threatened every moment to give them into death’s grasp, com- pelled five families living .in a two- story house to flee into the street. With the temperature hovering about the zero mark they hurried in scant attire to the homes of neighbors for shelter. Two children, aged seven and six years, were rescued by their mother, a frail woman, who carried them down stairs through choking smoke. Both children have been suf- fering from scarlet fever and the ex- posure to the cold may résult seri- ously. The house in which ' the families lived caught fire from sparks wafted by the high wind from the burning woodwork shop of the Mahle Wagon company.

In the remainder of the oval I placed several grand and* noble ornaments.—From Benvenuto: Cellini’s Autobiography: NOT A TRAMP. The Tag That Rider Haggard Put on a Literary Hobo. Rider Haggard was on one occasion traveling ss the United States as the guest of John Hays Hammond in | Hammond’s private car. “What 1 want to see,” said Hag- gard, “is the real tramp. I haven't seen one since I reached this country. I can’t believe you have as many as has been stated to be the case.” ‘Harris Hammond, the eldest son of John Hays, promised: “T’ll show you one at the next stop.” He had seen one riding on the trucks under the car, and at the next station he went down and called the hobo out. When the tramp entered the car he was covered with cinders and dust and looked like something from the lower regions. Hammond shook hands with him and jntroduced him, saying: “This is Mr. Rider Haggard.” “Rider Haggard!” exclaimed the hobo. “Why, I've read all of your books and loved every one of them!” Then he sat down and discussed lit- erature with Haggard for half an hour. At the end of the talk Harris took him back, let him get some of the dust anpd cinders off and handed him a good cigar “That fellow’s not a tramp.,” said Haggard. “He’s a gentleman in dis- tress.”—Popular Magazine. The Virtue of Traveling. There are two great fallacies based” on ancient and rusty saws it were a noble deed to demolish. One is that traveling is a form of wrongdoing, founded belike on the stupid saying that a rolling stone gathers no moss. A pertinent reply would be that a mossy stone is never highly polished and that a stone is not a proper pluce for moss, anyway. The other undermin- ing caution is that one ought to see ones own new country before one sees the wealth of the old countries. Un- less on business bent, there is no earthly reason why one who can af- ford to travel should not begin at once with the richest and most beau- tiful countries, with Italy and Greece. Life is short and uncertain; one can- not tell what may happen to deprive one of sight and health and means day after tomorrow, therefore it is well to see and enjoy the best while one can. —Harper’s Bazar. Deadly Pulque. In spite of her long years of inde- pendence Mexico has not solved the drink problem. The national drink of - the poorer classes is pulque (pro- nounced ‘“poolkay”’), the fermented off- spring of a plant resembling the aloe. It tastes like stale buttermilk ‘dashed with a strong dose of stagnant water and must be drunk within' twenty-four hours of fermentation. Its action is instant and powerful, and its speedy results are 'softening of the brain, pa- ralysis of the nerves and death. So deadly are its effects that no employer of labor will employ a peon from the pulque making districts until he has tried everywhere else.—Chicago News. Expecting Too Much. It was a cold, raw day, but thé Nev- 'ersweats and the Fearnoughts were playing a game of ball on the prairie Just the same.
