MR. WOODPECKER'S ADVICE TO THE GOVERNMENT.

[

[By S. L. Bensusan,]

Under the auspices of their Union, farmers had held a crowd- ed meeting at Market Waldron, and their representatives had told a sad story of depression and trouble in the industry. They in formed the world, as represented by the "Market Waldron Intell gencer whoso energetic report er was in attendance, that the time is coming when England's broad acres will revert to prafrio and. England's sturdy farmers will move ett mosse in the direction of the workhouse.

The reporter, having attended several meetings of like kind, was hot stirred to the innermost depths of his being, and the column and a half allotted to him by the Editor would, he feared, he hard to fl. He left the meet ing and mounted his bicycle, for n little run round the riverside villages in search of Inspiration, and he found some in the aight of sturdy upstanding man, blue eyed, red-bearded, and seemingly well content, whom he had noted on the outskirts of the gathering. The thought came to him that an interview with a "son of the soll" to be headed "What Is Wrong with Farming" would give a little stimulus to what might elso be a rather dull story. He is a man of ideas is the reporter in question, and quick to act, so he jumped off his bicycle and said to the stranger. "Excuse me, but I think you work on a farm?"

"Nobody ain't ever heard me any I don't," was the reply.

"I want to talk about farming to somebody who really under- atands it" said the reporter.

"You'll go a long way on that owd machine o' yours," replied the stranger, "fore you find a man what knows it better. Telly f'r why. I'm in me sixty an' I start- edwi rook scaring time I was seven,"

J

"You're the man for me," said the reporter with conviction. "Will you come up to the corner there and have a pint of beer while we chat?"

POLICE DISCOVERY AT„

WOMAN THIEF'S ROOMS,

"Hor rooma must resemble an Aladdin's Cave" remarked ↑ Mr.. Bingley, the Marylebone Mogis- trate, on rending a list of articles found by the police at the address of Annie Kentish, agod 49, char- woman, of Westbourne Park-eres- cont, Paddington.

Kentish pleaded guilty to steal- ing jewellery, clothing, books, and other articles valued over £25, from Mosers. William Whiteley, Bayawator; and other property worth $1 from an address in Har- row-road, where she had been em- ployed. She was sentenced to four months' hard labour on each of three charges, a total of 12 months.
