The EnaIishman In q Groove.

In England nine-tenths Of the lads
Of the middle classes look forward to
nothing more than q seat at an Office
desk with q certain number Of shil-
lings q week for q certain number Of
years. To attempt to do anything else
would be to run the risk Of social os-
tracism. 4 young man may loaf re-
specially on his family, but he must
on no account start business II It
involves selling anything or producing
anything with his hands. That would
be bad form. 1t would be getting out
side the groove. Thus for the great
mass Of the people England holds no
romance. The lad who thinks he could
do something is discouraged. Every
thing Is SO cut and dried. Every class
distinction Is so definitely marked.
The whole weight Of public opinion IS
against the smallest divergence from
the ordinary rule.-Manchester eng

by Frank Dowd to work on the farm

A trial that attracted no little stten.
ton was held in Justice Psyne's court
this week. In fact there were two trials.
MB Barbara Patterson is the renter of
q farm five miles south Of Clsrkson
which Frank Hsnsel and son of Dodge
were the owners until the 18th day of
September last when it was sold to
Joseph Blechs. On tho date of sale the
Hsnsels notified Mn. Patterson in writ
ing to move or to rent the farm from the
new owner neither Of which she did but
with all womanly grace she still has
possession OF the farm and refuses to give
it up claiming verbal agreement prior
to September 2Sth. On last Tuesday
the case was tried before . jury in JUS
tice court and they disagreed. Wednes-
day the case wss retired before another
jury and they disagreed again. Tho vo-
man has illicted some sympathy by her
