Average Jones took train for
Harwick, and within few hours
was rubbing his hands over an
stiff and cheerless aspect bespoke
the lack of woman's humanizing

tice was a widower. Overweight
with anxiety and strain, the hag-
gard clergyman, as soon as he
had taken his visitors coat, be-
gan a hurried, inconsequental mar

into an ineXtricable confusion of
words, and, dropping his head in
his hands, cried:

hopeless tumble"

encouragingly. Comfort your
self with the idea that your son
is alive, at any rate"
But how can I be sure, even
of that?"
Average Jones glanced at a
copy of the advertisement which
he held. II think we can take
Mr.. Morley's word so far"
Even SO; fifty thousand dollars
ransom!" said the minister, and
stopped with a groan.
"Nonsense! said Average
Jones heartily. THAT advertise
ment counts for nothing. Profes-

sons of impecunious ministers fol

One glance was all that Aver

TORONTO, One, May 8.-The
back-to-the-soil fever has hit the
British nobility. One of 'em is
going to work-and his family,
too!
Forsaking an ancestral hall in
Herfordshire, the following fam
lily section from Burke's peerage
is now settling on a farm
in Canada:
Lord Hyde, son and heir of the
Earl of Claredon.
Lady Hyde, his wife.
The Hon. Villiers, his six-year-
old son.
The Hon. Joan Viliers, his
three-year-old daughter.
Baron Somers, his brother-in-
law.
These folks, all full of ultra
marine blue blood and equipped
with ancestors running back till
you can't see 'em run for the
mists of antiquity, have taken a
2O0-acre farm in Ontario, near
Pickering. There they are going
to build new ancestral hall and
go into the ancestor business
themselves.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-05-08


They are going to be regular
farmers. They will raise grain,
fruit and green truck like any
other Ontario farmer.
Furthermore, Lady Hyde says
she is going to do her own work.
She brought two servants" with
her, but she says she intends to
let them go. Just fawncy Lady
Hyde dipping her lily white hands
into the dough and the suds!
Lord Hyde won't go quite that
far back. He says he is going to
keep a hired man.
For the present the noble set
tiers will live in a house they
have rented in the town of Pick
citing, but as soon as they can
build a house and barn on the
farm they will settle there.
Lady Hyde thinks it will be
great for the youngsters to know
the freedom of American farm
life.
I'VE are going to teach our
children to forget the titles of
aristocracy and buckle down to
hard work." she says.

Hear Rate Case

The public service commission
yesterday spent the day in federal
court hearing the complaint of
Tacoma shippers against the new
rates of the Northern Pacific, by
which the company charges Taco
ma shippers an average of cents
100 on freight shipped to eastern
Washington.
Many Tacoma shippers testified
that the rate would prevent Taco
ma manufacturers and jobbers
from all chance to do business
in competition with Seattle
houses in the territory.
The commission will give
chance for oral argument at {
later date.
