FRIDAY, FEB 18th, 1910 The Forest Free Press brings the legal luminaries of Ontario sudden- ly to the position of attention by the following paragraph: "Law- yers stard up in court house before judges and jurors in' the presence sometimes of a large audience, and denounce men as liars, scound rely, thieves and perjured villains, and when court adjourns the men appear to hear no ill will against them. But let a newspaper only faintly intimate that a man's character is blemished and he has to confront a horse pistol, stand a libel suit or suffer what the people think to be the greatest ot morti- fications—lose a subscriber." The latest figures to hand state the area of land under cultivation in Canada 111 t year to have been 30. 065, 556 acres, with atotal yield valued at 8 532 992? 1.00, acres in 1908. It is shown there was in every province an increase in the value of field Drops over 1908 This was particulary the casein Saska tchewan where ;he increase was about one hundred and sixty per cent, Reliable advices from the West state there are already indic- ations that the coming year will see another considerable increase in the area of land put to seed.

The railways have begun in a tentative way to develop run-down farms. They propose to work them as an example to the other farmere, and to show what can. be clone bn rot- ation of crops, scientific manuring, nitrogen treatment, superior seed- ing and other up-to-date methods. When they have improved a farm to a broductive condition. they in- tend to sell it end take another for a similar course of treatment. Bat if money can be made in this way, and the railways demonstrate it for themselves, how long will it be before great syndicates will be ready to take up the practice of agriculture on a gigantic scale? The economies of huge acreages have already been proven, and the higher average of production over immense areas. These elements tend to the stability of profit, and this is all that i:c rr:.

Chamberlin and the other young man regrets that previous evening engagements prevented their .acceptance this cordial, invitation ; only Justin WKS free. The soul of frankness, and already enamored with this distinguished looking countryman, be gladly , assented to Keith's urgency and the hour of "meeting was set. Mr Weswiok had left his fellow travellers in an adjoin- ing city while he ran down for a short visit to the University town. The two, therefore, had the even- ing to themselves.

On the other trend. there was freshness, ac - quaintness about this foreign American that won Keith ; a peculiar flavor to his questions and remarks, a sweet unconsciousness of self in his manners, that struck his host as unlilae anything he had met before. Then too, the almost boy showed such undisguised admiration for his new friend that the gentleman was moved. to do his best. Naturally a fine con- versational, fond of description, he exerted himself now to the utmost, and Justin drew great breaths of delight. have seen much of Europe," he said ; "Am familiar wlth`Italy and France and nelt.,p r* n: �:w3:th ngliind; bur, you mal erne feel, Mr: Wes. wick, that goy native lands excels them. all.

"I wish you might, indeed," answered Keith cordially, I am sure your enthusiasm must have added to the interest of any occasion, and he wondered, as he glanced at the growing face and shining eyes, how this youth had lived so long without losing his boyish frankness, his outspoken enjoyment. lie was not childish either ; Keith thought he had rare- ly :net a manlier fellow. After supper the host offered his guest tt cigar. "Thank you, t never smoke," Justin said with a. flush. "Then you will join me in a glass of wine,' I have a choice brand hare," raising the decanter. "I never drink: I promised mama I never would, you knout*." Keith sent a rapid gleneg over' the open countenance, but he said politely, "and a gentleman trust 'keep his word." He did not hint at his astonishment, neither did he touch a drop himself.

You musts remember, Mr,. Weswiok, "answering Keith's amazed glance," that I have spent most ot my life in Italy, in a quiet hamlet, away from the world.

"I was an only child," smiled Keith, "but have hardly missed. what :you have, Droutly, seeing I always had a host of my friends of my own rank in life.

Torgrntp, Feb. 15.—Barricaded in the garret of a tenement- house at 27 Elliott -street, Riverdale, yester- day afternoon William Withers, a negro, who had shortly before murdered his wife and his mother- in-law, held dozens of policemen for almost three hours and then, at twenty minutes past five, with about twenty rounds of ammuni- tion remaining in his possession, and his two revolvers still loaded, ho committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth. His victims were his mother-in•law, Mrs. Victoria Davis, aged 115. and his wire, Airs, Matl:ilde Withers, aged 35. The scenes on the street and in the lanes about the house were the most exciting ever seen in Toronto. Policemen and detectives, with shotguns, rifles and revolvers, were posted in every imaginable position, and the residents of Riverdale, attracted by the noise of the many firearms, looked doubtfully around to see if they were really in Toronto instead of on a battlefield. While it is often impossible to prevent an accident, it is never impossible to be prepared—it is not beyond any one's purse.
