HOW POET QUIETED HORSE
Incident Proved British Laureate Had
Something More Than a Modicum
of Common Sense.

Tennyson once arrived at Haslemore
station carrying q heavy parcel Of
books; and as his own carriage had
not arrived to meet him, he was glad
to accept the offer of lift home.
Going up the steep hills to Black
down, Tennyson. with his characteristic
&c consideration for animals, suggested
that they and the books were too
heavy for the pony to drag.
The two men therefore got out and
walked for some distance in front OF
the trap, until they discovered that
the books had dropped out.
The owner of the pony asked Tenny|
son to stand at the animals head
while he went back for the books.
These he found hundred yards or
more down the hill, and on his return
he found the pony had besn FESTIVE,
but had quickly become quiet.
Knowing that 1t disliked strangers,
he wondered how Tennyson had kept
1t quiet. What was his surprise to
learn that the poet had managed the
affair by holding watch close to thu
animals ear~-London Times.

United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov

by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis

81 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate In buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
