TEE OLD MAN AND 01TE PIPs Home—
During the resent breach of promise snit
between Moruington township people,
tried at Stratford, the father of the fair
plaintiff said iu his evidence that he re-
tired early, but added something that
must have surprised even James Rather.
lord. He said : "Yon know I left them
to discuss the affair betwoeu themselves ;
but mind you I slept in a room directly
over the sofa, and through the old stove-
pipe hole I could keep book of the move.

Herald editorially discusses the case as
follows : Every man and every woman
who has ever been in love, or who hopes

tereet the story of the courtship of Matil-
da'Dougherty and James Rutherford,
It is not quite clear as yet whether James
courted Tillie or whether Tillie warted
James, but there seems to be no doubt
that the courting was done and largely,
it appears, on a sofa. According to Web-
ster's Unabridged, this is the proper way
to do it, but the one thing abort it that
will send a oold Chill down the bank of
every man between here and the other
end of the word is the fact that while the
courting was in progress, James having
his arm around Tillie's slender waist, the
old man was taking it all in through a
stovepipe hole in the floor above. This
is a distinotly and disgustingly low down
game to ploy on any ambitions chap who
is having serious thoughts about buying
kitchen stoves and cradles and is sndea•
voring to purenade some nice bub reluc•
tent girl to darn his socks rel;ulsrly and
see that he is able to fasten himself up,
as it were, with buttons instead of shingle
nails. No man likes to think that while
he is putting in his best licks in the
matter of pretty speeches on the sofa in
the front parlor, that the hungry ear of
the girl's father is listening to it all
through the stovepipe hole above him,
nor does he feel any easier over the retie(•

to make the nerviest man in the world

a love affair. The fact is all the sweet
things that lovers murmur to each other

Tris Regina "Leader" bewails the fact
that "the absentee speculator has his
"fango into this country," and declares
"that "the sooner the Legislature gets a
"hand on him the better. Some means
"must be devised of taxing the 131511 who
"are holding lands for purposes of specu-
"lation, at the expense of our farmers
"and business men who are building up
"the country and increasing the value of
"such lands." In view of the fact that
the Leader is so mixed up as it is with
the powers that be his protest betokens a
very strong feeling in the country. No
olass of people deserve less consideration
in a new country, or in any country for
that matter, than the land•grabbers.
They retard settlement, prevent enter-
prise and prey upon industry. In form-
er days the people of Upper Canada had
to deal with them, and did so effectively
when municipal institutions were estab•
liehed. The farmers having secured the
power to levy direct taxation through
county councils, put as heavy a tax on
wild land as on improved Iaud, and the
consequence was that the wild land rapid.
ly changed hands and was cleared and
brought ander cultivation. Those farm.
ers had not studied Henry George, but
were taught by necessity, and the sueoess
which crowned their oommou•sense
method of getting rid of the land specu-
lator is one of the beet proofs that can be
produced of the soundness of theirpolicy.
It is probable that, if the territorial
Legislature should get possession of the
public
it would follow the example

Lieut. Governor of British Columbia, so
it is said. T. M. Daly, representing Sel•

Minister of the Interior. He is a lawyer
and was a former reoident of Stratford.
It is also stated that Hou. W. Meredith
will resign hie seat in the Local Legis-
lature and will be called into the Domin-
ion Cabinet. The new Minister, Thos.
Mayne Daly, is a native of Stratford,
Ont., and was born there on August 10,
1802. His father at various times be-
tween 1854 and 1875 was elected to the
Legislative Assembly and the Hodee of
Commons for Perth. The rising young
politician was educated at Upper Canada
College, was called to the bar in 1878, and
in 1879 married Margaret Annabella,
daughter of P. R. Jarvis, of Stratford.
He was a town councillor for Stratford in
1880.1, and also ahairmau of the School
Board. In the latter year he removed to
Brandon, Man., and began the practice
of his profession. Its 1882 he was elected
Mayor of Brandon, and at the general
election in 1887 was elected as a Con•
servative to the Dominion Parliament.
At the last general election he increased
his majority to nearly 600, but he will
likely have a border battle to fight when
he presens8 himself for re•eleotfon.

October meeting of District Lodge, No.
24 of the I. 0. G. T. met in the Oddfol-
lole's ball in Clinton last Friday. Con-
sidering that Olinlnu is at the southern

number of delegates, about 80 being
present. The morning session was taken
up with opening exercises and hearing
reports from delegates. There were 14
lady representatives. Tho reports choly.
eel an increase of membership, whiob
was oousidered very favorable for the

was veru busy one. The question of

the D1 0
how to raise funds for
to carry on missionary work the coming
winter was pretty thoroughly dismissed.
It was decided to levy a tax on the sub•
ordinate lodges. It is the intention of
the executive to put in the field a num-
ber of lecturers and workers to go through
the District doing tetnperanoe missionary
work. Tho delegates were very sorry to
receive a telegram saying that G. 0. T.,
Bro. F. S. Spence, of Toronto, could not
be present. After a good deal of discus-
sion relating to temperance work in gener-
al the mooting was brought to a close to
meet in Belgrave In January next. The
thanks of the lodge were tendered the
Clinton friends for their kind hospitality.
In the evening a public ontertninment
was given in the town hall. The pro-
gram consisted of vocal and instrumen.
tal music and en address by Rev. E.
Hughes, of Wingllam, on "The poor of
old London," also a temperance address
by the Rev. Mr, Smyth, of Clinton. The
weather being all that could be desired,

most enjoyable.
