Morris, Guelph, charges that '. Hammill, a farmer from near Fer- gus, promised to pay him to perform the office of Cupid. The matrimonial transaction was ventilated, yesterday, in the division court before Judge a.m. | Chadwick, when Morris brought action to recover the hundrid dollars, on the grounds that the wedding had been successfully consummated. The evidence showed that Hammill, a widower, made an offer to Morris in December, 1907, of $100 to find him a wife, but Morris demurred, pointing ont that Kis first wife had been dead but a short time. A year later Ham- mill repeated the offer, and Morris took hinr to his own house, where he was introduced to the woman in the case. They seemingly became interest. ed in each other at once, and the wooer, moved to Morris' house, ap- parently that he might be near the woman, He remained there until Au- gust, when Morris says he hinted that he did not want him around any long- er, and about Thanksgiving day the wedding took place. Morris then claim- ed the $100. Judge Chadwick, after hearing much evidence, dismissed the action--the parties to pay their own costs. GOT HIS NOTES MIXED. La Patrie's Explanation of the Inter- view.

It is pointed out here, to-day, that the States gets far more concessions from Canada than Britain despite the Bri- tish ferential tarifi, and hence Canada cannot be expected to make ares. th X t is sai at Major J.

A relative left 600 pounds, to he paid him on his mar riage day, and with interest the sum now .stands at 2,000 pounds, but the confirmed old bachelor says he would rather want it then marry a woman who might want to put mustard plast- ers on him or make him take a bath when he didn't want one! A Dower Law for Wives, The Winnipeg branch of the National Council of Women has interviewed the Manitobs government and asked Ahat a dower law be passed, giving the women of Manitoba the same property rights as the women of Eastern Can- ada. The women's delegate was kind- ly received by the government, and a promise was given that a dower law will be brought in daring the present session of the Manitoba legislature. The vernment expressed sympathy with measure, and promised to support it. In this province wives are protected by their marriage settlement or else the husband and wife hold their pro- perty in common. Ontario asd the eastern provinces have dower laws, but a wife in Western Canada has no lsgal claim on anything vomivally owned by her husband. A farmer's wile may toil early and late, helping him to pay for the farm, to add acre on acre, and build up a comfortable home, and then he can sell or will it all away from her if he chooses to do so. The law recognizes a wile ny the partner of her husband only in regard to her duty, to keep his house and rear their children, and for this she is legally entitled to no remunera- tion, While there are fair-minded men who recognize the fact that their wives have a right to a share in their joint earnings, there are others who consider themselves sole owner of all, overlooking the fact that the wives have in many cases worked every bit gressing favorably in the new Meth- odist church. Fishermen are reporting good catches of pike and mudcats. | Mrs. Fitzgerald leaves for Detroit on Monday next. The Woman's Guild of St. John's church held its meeting at' ter-mongering so far as this province is concerned. .

Art and Practice. Winnipeg Saturday Night, A lady teacher whose duties lie among the juvenile Hebrew popula- tion--notoriously the brightest body of children in attendance at the pub- lic schools of the city--was so de lighted the other day with some sketches which a little Hebrew boy had made that she took them home to show to her friends. There was a little gathering at which a number of bright minds were assembled, and she passed the efforts around. Some of those who saw m were so enthusi- astic that they thought steps should be taken to give the lad special train. ing in wrt. There was one gentleman present who did not share jin the gen- eral enthusiasm, although he armit- ted the merit of the sketches. In dis- cussing plans for the future of the lad they turned to him and asked him what he thought about it.
