The Socialist as a Landlord.

"I'm martyrl I'm martyri This is all through fighting for the cause of so- cialisnl' cried Alfred Oldland as he left the dock of the southwestern police court to do the two months hard labor which Mir. Denman thought necessary for his moral reformation. It is true Oldland Is an ardent advocate of the new idea and has at various places in London rec commended his audiences to pay no rent, such exactions being form of robbery which ought to be put down. But he is also landlord.
 The other night he went to his tenant and said: Where is my rentp Why haven't you paid it before nowp' "Whatr' cried the tenant, ''pay rent? Don't you tell the people always that rent is theft? Besides, you did me an in- justice in giving me notice to quit, and therefore won't pay you any rent" Then the landlord socialist took formi- dable bit of telephone wire and struck his tenant on the head, knocking not only all the socialism but all the sense out of it for some time
 When he came to himself, again he found four deep cuts on his cranium and his feelings much injured. Therefore he demanded satisfaction on his landlord at the hands of the police magistrate. It was proved that Oldland had already suffered imprisonment for assaults on the police in Trafalgar square. That, he said, was the first part of his martyr dom. He is now doing the second in- stallnsnt.-LondonT Telegraph.
