Newspaper Peer , DICK WELYN'S LOVE AFFAIRS . [ Some time subsequent to the relating of the the incident concerning " The Witch of Brampton - street , " my old friend Jim Painter told me what he professed to be the sequel thereof . Jim had the reputa tion of " romancing , " and as to whether the following really happened or was mere ly the figment of his rather lively imag . ination , I prefer to leave to the reader ; but I have attempted to set it down , as near as memory will serve , in his own words . - B.B . ] Now , you purty beauty , I be going to lays hands on you !

The one ominous cloud on the horizon is that of further industrial trouble , for there seems to be considerable reason to fear that the New Year will find London threatened with another big labour war . Serious trouble has been brewing ever since the dispute in the building trade earlier in the year was patched up , the cause of it being the policy of the unions in the adoption of sectional strikes against the employment of non - union- ists . This , the employers claim , violates the agreements into which the unions have en- tered , and they demand that all men on strike should return to work , and that in addition the unions should take disciplinary action against the strikers and furnish guarantees against South African Authoress . Olive Schreiner , the authoress , who has come to England from South Africa on a visit , is perhaps the most famous of the children of the late Rev. G. Schreiner , of the Wesleyan Missionary Society , though one of her brothers has been Premier of Cape Colony , and another sits in the Legislative Assembly of South Africa and is head of the Mrs. True Templar Order in the Union .

That the exploration of the territory should yield most valuable scientific results goee without saying , and Sir Ernest Shackleton will assuredly take with him the heartiest good wishes of all . Nobody , one supposes , will quarrel with the explorer for taking what he calls the liberty of calling the expedition The Imperial Trans - Antarctic Expedition .
