LONDON, Dec. 4 The whole of
Great Britain la immersed In the po
litical campaign which has been in
augurated by the refusal of the house
of lords to consent 10 the budget. The
country is divided into two great
camps, composed of those who sup
port the lords' action and those who
contend that the 'house of commons
must have absolute control of the fi
nances of the nation. There an-, of
course, many other issues, such as
tariff reform versus free trude, but
these are being pushed Into the back
ground by the conflict between the
two houses.
All Parties Active.
While the various local organiza
tions are. busy selecting candidates
and preparing for the contests in
their respective districts, the leaders
of the great parties are carrying on a
general campaign. The radicals who
had long, foreseen the fate of their
finance bill are not allowing the grass
to grow under their feet.
In London this afternoon one of
their organizations, the National dem
ocratic lague held c. demonstration as
a protest against the action of the
lords which was one of the most
notable ever held In the metropolis.
Kully 20,000 persons of the laboring
and artisan classes, gathered in Tra
fagar square, and cheered the radical
speakers, who condemned In unnicus

Mrs. Albert Is the wlf of a well
known sporting man; their noma l

As for the esthetic and practical
reasons: First, Mrs. Alitor weur a
gris-n ii ml purple striped apron when
dm goes to ttsj thi chickens and, be
ing a woman, she loves .elorhnr
inonlcs. Hhi read In a poultry book,
hen shu decided to go In for hona
rco'iilly, that to sucots'd and gut egg
when eggs ar worth 0 cents a dozen
tho poultry woman "must have tha
ben in her hert" that Is, love the
hn and have rui much in common
with ll as poaaible.
Hho thought that one good thing
would Imi to have almllltirily In cos
tume. Mrs. Albers didn't want to
mur a white apron to mutch the
tails III the hen yard, for It ould get
too m ussy, so she made the tjiila
ma tch the upron.
Her practical reason for t sing tha
dyes was to get a mark lor QUlclC
Idenlillcuilon when her her strolled
serosa thu road to visit Neighbor Ca
rey's IliM k and mado the eertotis nils
take of laying their eggs in Neigh
bor Curey'a nests.
The fifty leghorns were frescoa4
yemwday morntng by Mrs. Albera and
her husband after they had bagged
th Iwiid of each hen to prevent tha
coloring from running into us eyew.
The first hen that got her head free
after the operation happened t ea
her tail reflected In the water pan.
Hho Immediately pecked off tha ban
dage. of th next hen ao that aha
could ace her tall too.
Then the llrst two removed tha Van
dagea from two mora and .. ao on
through the flock.' The. h..-i tttij
round began, either from prlda or
