EGINA, Saskatchewan.--I have
IL just had long talk with King
IN Edwards representative IN the
province OF Saskatchewan. This
Canadian dominion IT, you know a
sort OF an annex to Great Britain. The
king OF England nomlnaily bosses the
whole. His head overseer Is Earl Grey

penses He has the title OF governor

In addition to the governor general,
King Edward has sub0verseer In eacn
of the Canadian provinces. who goes by
the title Of lieutenant governor. These

The lieutenant governor Is the best

Born OF French Canadian parents,
Gov, Forget was educated In Quebec.
After his graduation he spent some
time IN the United States learning Eng

lecturers in the persons Of such men
as Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phil

time OF his admission to the bar re-
bellion OF the half-breeds broke out
near Winnipeg. Soldiers were sent to

a peculiar condition of affairs exists
in two households in this city,
and all Oh account of the mistake Of
a third party. The details of the affair
are about as follows: One man who
desired to get rid of the fir boughs
around his house contracted with we'll
known truckman yesterday to remove
them, the price agreed upon for the
job being 80 cents. The truckman went
about his work and in the afternoon
sought the man at his place of business
and upon telling him that the job was
man was somewhat surprised, however,
on going home to supper, to find the
bOughs still there. and while looking
around for a possible clue to the myS-
terry, ran across a friend who was also
out on {, still hunt and was looking ;,f-
ter Il pile of trimmings from apple
trees which he had left in his back
yard and intended cutting up for fire
wood. 1t was not difficult for the two
to solve the mystery and to decide that
the truckman had hauled away the
wrong pile, but the question is how
they are going to settle the matter
The man who has the brush has paid
50 cents to have it hauled away and
still has it, while the other man has
lost quite q lot of frcWood and is
wondering how lie is going to get ii
back.
