"Shearers and Shorn."
Sir,—Mr H. G. R. Mason, in his letter on " Labour Politics " | tells us that " mankind is divi-j ded into two groat classes.- J the shearers and the shorn," and j is as emotional over the matter j as if he were addressing a. jury I tor the plaintiff in a breach of j promiso case. But doe? it not seem a little incongruous for m lawyer, a member of a profession commonly believed io bo adepts in th : art of shearing, to lament so feelingly over the fate of the shorn ? It reminds one of the Walrus to the Oyster he had taken out for a walk, and, incidentally. to supper "I you," the Walrus said, '• I deeply sympathise," With sobs and tears he sorted out :hose of the largest sizp, his pocket handkerchief before his streaming eye?. " Kotiro."
