Tha continued absence, the reappear

t-n postponed, hla absence from the
House of Common eren when be paid
flrlns; visits to Londn. hla restless
wandertnjrs from one health resort to
another, all added to the mystery and
the aniletr and the people had at lat
come to the ronoiustnn that with him,
aa with Mr. Chamberlain, the nhastly
truth waa being kept back. When there
waa a lonit delay before he appeared on
the evening of hla irreat performance,
antiety deepened. Anything waa pos
sible, eren that at the laxt moment
lie had broken down and that there
would be another postponement.
It waa Just two mlnutea before he
had to be called on by the Speaker that
at laat ha waa aeen lo be entering the
Jlouee from behind the Speaker a chair,
and then all eyea were fixed upon him
to acrutlnlie the face and discover what
message Nature had to alve In- her un
mlstakeable handwriting aa to the real
eiate or ma health. The rerdict waa
Indecisive. Uojrd-tjeorjte la recovering
Ma health, but tha process la alow and
tha breakdown must have been serious.
Hut It was a temporary breakdown and
not final debacle.
-N'alare Atrngrd for Ovrrnork.
The fare still looks very drawn. The
lines have been deepened and the com
plexion Is still pale. Altogether, there
le a subtle change In the whole man.
lie looks older, and he looks perhapa
a utile leas joyous. There is less
alertneaa In the movements of bis
irame. at once so fragile and so
abounding In the suggestion of rest
less vitality a few years ago. The
real explanation Is that nature has
taken the revenge she so cruelly and
ao invariably does on those who over
work themselves. The fierce work of
the year In which he first had to pre
pare his budget In blood and tears, the
tremendous obstacles he had to en
counter before he was able to pass it
Into law. tha all-night sittings, the
strain of atruggle In hla own house
hold, the moments of hideous anxiety.
when the whole .fate of the budget and
of hla career, depended on a thread.
and. added to all this, the fatigues of
two general elections In which he
rushed an almost Insane race from one
part of the country to the other, after
all these things there was nothing for
Uoyd-tteorge to do but to lie by and
wait until nature was able, by rest, to
restore the old strength. Men do not
go through such an experience, espect
ally men who hare rarely known Ill
ness and are possessed by the demon of
restless activity. without showing
traces of such an experience. Iean
Stanley said to a friend who visited
him towards the close of a long Illness,
which ended tn hla death, that he had
been curiously considering how differ'
ent the affairs of life appeared when
viewed from the horizontal Instead of
the perpendicular. Uoyd-Ueorge haa
been viewing life for some months In
much the same topsy-turvy spirit, and
such an experience tells and endures.
I "ale of Ilia Srliriue Doubtful.
It was partly, of course, to spsre
his voice, that It might be able to hold
out through the lengthy time his ex
position must necessarily take that he
spoke la a low. subdued voice, but the
lownesa of the tones Indicated certain
subjugation of the olU strong, ardent
temper that betrayed Itself so often
la the old days of fierce conflict. Kven
when he spoke, the passages that were
eloquent and thrilling, he did it in a
way that waa reserved and subdued.
These paasagea were net the less effec
tive for that reason, but they were
different from the old style.
And now. with regard to his pro
posal. It la still too soon to say what
will be Its nltimate fate. As I have
already cabled you. its first reception
wss enthusiastic and unanimous. Every
party waa equally loud In praising It.
It Is somewhat doubtful whether It
can by any possibility pass Into law
this session, which la already enor
mously congested. NriT did a minis
try make more heroic attempt to get
a gallon of legislation Into a pint pot
of time. They are carrying a great
revolution In the whole constitutional
machinery by their veto bill. But that
Is only one of their big undertakings.
They have a new bill for the protection
f life In the mines. They have a bill
to regulate the houra of labor in the
stores.
Coprl(clit law Assured.
There Is a big committee, of which I
am (lad to say I am a member, to deal
with the Question of copyright. I have
rev-erred some communications from
America In reference to that bill and I
just Interpolate a word or two In regard
to It. It Is an extremely good bill, for
authors of all kinds. Copyright is In
creased to life and W yeara after death,
aa enormous addition to the 43 years
and seven years after death which Is
the present system. The musical com
poser is to be saved from the depreds
ttor.s of the gitnr, "phone and other me
chanical tnstrumrnte. The dramatic au
thor is protected, so Is the novelist whose
work is dramatised. In short the whole
copyright law is modified and Canada
is bound to follow Kr.g'.anJ s example, '
a we'.l as other countries.
Tha bul Is being opposed by a certain
small section of extremists landtaxera.
Socialists and the like but there Is a
Ml majority in Ita favor. Including seven
Irishmen, every one of ssr.om is a pledged
surporter of copyright, and It will pass
Into law.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. May 20. The,
Presbyterian general assembly at the
session this afternoon adopted the re
port and recommendation of the ex
ecutive committee consolidating the
board of home missions, the board of
church erection and board of missions

next Monday.
The report of the committee on Sab
bath observance, with stringent recora
mendatlons, aroused an animated dis
cussion, but was adopted with 11 strin
gent resolutions.
Many ministers opposed what they
called an attempt to go backward two
centuries and impose a real old "Blue

They were for a sane Sunday, they said,
but not so strict a one as the report
called for.
Many Pleaaarea Forbidden.
The barring of traveling on Sunday,
buying things because you happened to
want them, eren if they were unneces
sary, and having no hot meals so your
servants could rest, were declared to
be absurd, and the assembly was urged
to ignore such "trivial matters.
Others spoke earnestly in favor of

There are obstacles that stands In the
way of passing the great insurance
schema of tioyd-Oeorre into the law,
and yet it may pass. That extraordin
arily adroit little Welshman baa added
t. tr.e main features of his bill aer.e
sideshows whl.-b will help to make lis
progress Irreesistible. Take aa a single
Instance what the bill proposes with re-
clal.y "Tootsla" Smith, pet fox ter
rier of Bud" Smith, is mother of Ore
pit bull pupa, but was not satisfied with
the sise of the famlj'. ao adopted a
kitten about three weeks old. and she
Is now raising them all together. The
kitten givea Tootsle more trouble than
the five pupa, because she often Jumps
out of the box and runs around the
room. Then Tootsle goes on a search,
rinds tbe little kitten, and. picking her
up by the nape of the neck, lugs her
bs.-k to the family fold.
Tootsle and her five pups were In the
office of Bud Smith's barn, and some
little boys found the little kitten one
day and left it there. It was thrown in
the box with the pups and their mother
and w-as at once adopted. She Is nursed
by Tootsle the same as the little pups
are. and she is growing fast on the rich
dog milk. The pupa do not seem to
mind In the least their strange bed fel
low and play with her as though she
too were a pup.
To tease Tootsle sometimes the kit
ten is taken from the box by one of the
men in the barn and hidden in various
places. She is not gone long before
Tootsle gets busy and goes on the
scent and finds her adopted daughter,
a tiger kitten.

ments ordered.
Amonir the resolutions embodied In
the report was one that college presi
dents and faculties be required to abol
ish Monday morning recitations, so that
students would not have to study on
Sunday.
It was decided to organize Sabbath
observance committees in each presby
tery to co-operate with slmtlar com
mittees from other denominations and
with state and National organizations
in preserving the sanctity of the "Lord s
day." Public officials are urged to do
their full duty, such as enforcing- Sun
day laws, etc
The United States Government Is also
asked to arrange that in time of peace
no warships journeying up and down
the coast will have to more on Sunday.
Capital Has Continental Sunday.
The report of the Sunday observ
ance committee is severe on tbe city
of Washington.
The capital of our country has no
Sunday law." the report says, "and be
cause ot the city s prominence in our
National life should receive our first
attention. On Sunday retail stores are
open In many parts of the ctty, build
ing operations and street trading are
going on. according to the will of the
contractor, and newspapers published
in the morning and evening are cried
out on the streets, same as other days.
"Social Sunday desecration baa also
much increased In Washington within
the last eight years. Dinners, recap-
tlons, teas, muslcaies, goir. etc., idouhq, i
are elaborately announced in the pa- !
Dera. and among tne guests mentioned
are constantly seen the names -of the
people active and even prominent in
church circles.
"Sunday is a popular ainner and
luncheon day In washing-ton society.
Some Washlngtonlans plaoe tha blame
for It upon the diplomatic corps, whose
Continental Sunday is gaining ground
with the smart set oi vvasningxon.
Nearly every Sunday sees half a dozen
toart breakfasts at tne unevy unase
Club and an equal- number of big din
ner parties, also match golf games un
