LONDON, December 10th, HARRY LAUDER.

No Cabinet Minister in the height of his popularity has ever had a enthusiastic series of ovations than Harry, Lauder on the eve of his, departure on his world tour. This is his Laat week,
and every day there are queues waiting
WM. POWELL, LTD.
outaide the halls where he is to make his ANGLO-ORIENT SEAMLESS
farewell appearances. Twice this last! few days I have seen him compelled to make speeches before the curtain after an unusually liberal "turn," But the Scotch comedian has his serious moments. He has taken seriously to the task of campaigning on behalf of the pit pony, one of which, years ago in Beotland, saved his life. He spoke on the subject of the ill-treatment of the ponies from a pulpit in South London the other day, and on Monday ho carried his advocacy to Downing Street, Accompanied by Sir Henry Dalziel he won to see the Ministers and to enlist their sympathies for his dumb friends. First he saw, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then the Home Secretary. Mr. M'Keana. On both he urged the ippointment of more inspectors under the Coal Mines Act. The Home Secretary promised to go into the matter thoroughly and if he found Lauder's contentions borne out he said he would report favourably on the suggestion. Mr. M'Konna's randy familiarity with pit conditions and his sympathy with the miners greatly cheered the comedian, who declares if he can bring about this.reform he will start After on his tour with a light heart. the conferences her lumched with Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd George, Mr. M'Kenna and Miss Violet Asquith also being present Gathered round the fire later on in homely fashion ho gave them a private entertainment. It is not everybody that has Harry Lauder's advantages when they go campaigning in Downing Street. The suffragettes might take their cue from him, and thus main ready admission to the presence of Ministers.
