•SUNDAY,
SNUBS OF LORDS
FOR CHURCHILL
Never In British Politics Has
There Been So Much Per
sonal Bitterness,
HIS THRUSTS HAVE CUT
London, Jan. B.—Nover in the mem
ory of man has there been as much per
sonal bitterness in British politics as
lias resulted from the budget and the
rejection of it by the house of lords.
The attacks made on the character and
capacity of the peers have aroused
strong indignation in the circles of the
aristocracy, and this indignation has
been directed mainly against Winston
Churchill.
Chancellor Lord-George comes from
the people. The lords and ladies are
content to regard his fierce onslaughts
as an evidence of his ignorance. The
radical peers are either literary par
venne like Lord Morley, with no con
nection in Mayfair drawing rooms and
no yearnings for the society of dukes,
or else they possess the charm of mod
eration which disarms enmity.
Lord Crewe, who introduced the bud
get in the house of lords, is Lord Rose
berry’s son-in-law, and his speeches are
always honeyed and polite. Lord Car
rington. minister of agriculture and a
personal friend of King Edward, is a
genial country gentleman with whom
nobody, not even an angry marquis can
possibly quarrel.
Churchill Is a Blue Blood.
But Winston Churchill falls into quite
another category. By birth he belongs
to the aristocracy. He is a grandson
of a duke and the present duke of Marl
borough is his first cousin. He is a
political turncoat, having changed from
toryism to radicalism, mainly it is sug
gested through a hatred of -Joseph Cham
berlain, but his conversion has gained
him a high office.
Moreover, he is a virulent antagonist,
and his speeches are vitriolic. No tnan
in British public life possesses so fine
a gif of denunciation and no one is
less restrained. He denounces his own
order every time he mounts a plat
form, and he is hated with complete
and bitter hatred.
Winston Churchill’s sarcastic refer-1
ences to Lord Rothschild, the great in-;
ternational banker, have been particu- j
larly marked and they are denounced '
as an evidence of gross ingratitude. On j
the death of Churchill’s father, Lord!
Randolph Churchill, his affairs were,
found to be in considerable confusion, [
and Lord Rothschild personally under
took to unravel the difficulties and I
make the best possible provision for the I
sons.
Owes Much to Financier.
For a Rothschild to accept a task of
this sort is for success to be assured, i
and though this was not generally
known in EugJjßnd.the p<esident of the
board of trade owes a great deal of his i
career to the kindness of the financier.
It is now threatened that if Winston i
Churchill should make any further at- i
tack on Lord Rothschild he will be
publicly reminded of Lord Randolph’s,
ruin, and this is expected to create a
stir without a parallel in sedate British
public life.
Ignored at Army Maneuvers.
Churchill attended the recent army
maneuvers as an officer of the Oxford
shire yeomanry. On the last day the
cavalry was all drawn up in an extended
line, standing at ease, the officers be
ing dismounted and chatting together
in groups. Churchill rode with an or
। derly from one end of the line to the
j other without a single brother officer
taking the slightest notice of him un-
I til the brother of a certain earl shouted:
"Churchill, if you want to look like
; a soldier, why don’t you get your hair
ieut ? ’ ’
The duke of Marlborough is quite
willing to take a hand in the game of
humiliating nis brilliant cousin, although
for years they were close friends and
the duke made Churchill a handsome al
lowance.
At a dinner a week or two ago at
Blenheim a butler asked him:
"Claret or cider, sir?’’
"Thanks,’’ was the reply, "I’ll have
j some champagne. ’ ’
Presently the butler came around
again.
“Claret or cider, sir?’’ he repeated.
"I said I'd have some champagne,’’
replied Churchill.
"I atn sorry, sir, but his grace has

2'4 Months Saved Out
of One Year

Do you ever dread for the time to come to prepare a meal ?
Do you ever feel that if you could just get rid of kitchen work that life
would be one long sweet song ?
Did you ever realize that there are 1095 meals to prepare in most every
household each year ?
Did you ever realize that the average time for preparing a meal on a wood
stove is one hour ? This makes 3,275 hours, or 136 V? days or months spent
over the cook stove.
If you can save one-half of this time, spent in this life-sapping, tiresome
kitchen work, isn’t it worth while ? If you can change this work from drudgery
to pleasure, isn’t it worth while ?
If you can cook better meals and still save months out of each year,
doesn’t that appeal to you?
If you can save money as well as time, is not this also attractive ?

Gets a Stinging Retort.
Churchill called to his cousin at the
other end of the table.
"Sunny (an abbreviation of Sunder
land, the duke's second title) why must
n’t we have champagne tonight?’’
"Oh,’’ was the retort. "I thought
cider would be more suitable to your
opinion and friends.’’
The gibe was not brilliant, but it is
being repeated everywhere, and vastly
delights the English governing class.
The snubbing of Churchill is also be- )
ing administered to his American moth-.
er, Mrs. George Cornwallis-West. It is ■
generally assumed that Mrs. West was 1
largely responsible for her son’s change i
to sides. She is known to be closely I
attached to him, to share his present i
views and to aet as his encourager and i
iuspircr.
She has boasted also of the lengths
to which he is prepared to go and of
the part he intends playing in the great
revolutions which British society is be
ginning to anticipate with trembling
knees. Furthermore, Mrs. West’s rem
iniscences are regarded as eminently in
discreet and have caused considerable ir
ritation in the highest circles.

Ottawa, Ont., Jan. B.—Wilson Fos

sand specimens of minerals secured in
the Klondike region, gold, topaz, opals
etc Many of the specimens were taken
from the gizzards of ptarmigans and
grouse found in the rich mineral-bear

resent almost every kind of precious
stone except diamonds.
While prospecting here Foster no

stones and trapping ninny ho was aston

stones found in their gizzards. One
curiosity ho is giving to the museum
is a mastadon’s tooth, weighing four

specimens of minerals, probably one >f
the largest collections in the world.

WRONG MAN IS THE VICTIM
Paris, Jan. 8. —France had many puz

months, and those of most recent oc

lie. The last scusational tragedy and
the one which promises to be the most
famous was the death by poison of M.
Godard, a young Belgian tenor attach
ed to the opera.
The death occurred in October, but
that it was due to criminal cause be
came known only this week. The case
closely resembles in general otulines the
famous one in New York in which Moli
ncaux was tried for his life several
years ago. The poison was not intended
for its victim. It was sent anonymously

Rome, Jan. B.—As predicted last

his American widow, as it was found
he had left the great castle of Nemi to
his brother, although it was bought with
his wife’s money and put in order and
furnished through the same means.
Princess Rauspoli, it is said, does not ■
intend to sit dowu meekly under the ■

enter into his inheritance without some
difficulty. There is little hope she can
do much, as the law is with the brother,
unless she had her money settled upon
herself at the time of her marriage.
She is powerless even then, as the
castle was bought in her husband’s
name, and therefore he could do as he
