Mr. J. W. Locke, novelist and playwright, has lately returned from a three months'-tour of America. Intel-viewed by the London correspondent of the "Sheffield Telegraph." Mr/Lock dwelt on tho ease with which tho American worker cm niovo from one sphere or activity to another. "As I was going West,"'ho said, "one of tho hoys who go through the, trains selling candy and such trilles enmo into tho drawing-room car and showed us tho landscape; Later lie began to talk about himself. He had been n jockey, but determined to go into tho law, so ho got this job in the winter with which to help him to nay for his studies. Ho hadn't the slightest doubt that ho would get on in tho law. Ifo wasn't an extraordinary man—just an ordinary, clear-headed sort of person— j and in ten rears' time he will be a leading lawyer." 1
