Land Office at Mitchell has just rem
dered his decision in the long fought
ease OF j. q. Palmer, formerly Of
Mitchell, VS.. Hooper, Ryan ct al, in
volving q part OF the townsite OF White
Lake. The case grew out of the can
collation. Of Hooper's entry by Sparks
in 1887 on the ground that he had
failed to furnish q copy of his naturai-
ization papers. The land had mean
while been transferred to Ryan and
other parties, and had become a part
of the town OF White Lake, when In
July, 1891, Palmer filed on it as a
homestead and has lived there up to
the present time. The commissioner
holds that as Hooper has filed proof OF
his fathers citizenship with a former
homestead entry, which is on file in
the department, he could not be re-
quired to again furnish evidence of
the same. His entry Is therefore re-
instated and Palmer is obliged to give
up the land,

An Anecdote OF Lord Lytton.

Many years ago when the elder
Bulwer was in his prime a laborer on
the estate was engaged to do a GER
tain Job OF hard work. At the end
OF q week he carried his account to
the balifI, who said u weeks work
was worth three shillings and six
pence. The man insisted that this
was not enough and refused to settle,
and every time he met the baliff he
would stop him and asked him for
his money. Finally the bailiff be-
came angry. discharged the man and
refused to allow any farmer on the
estate to hire him.
The man was forced to leave the
neighboshood, but he was too poor to
move any great distance, 80 thA he
was still within the circuit Of the
bailiif's i'll will. Wherever he went
this PURSUED him, and his life in con
sequence was a hard one. Put all

and his friends that some day he
would get the money which the Bull
