“A BIT TAME” FOR HIM
RANCHER IN A CASTLE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Thursday. The new Earl of Egmont does not know what to do. He says he was born in England, but is so used to the hard w'ork entailed in farming and stock-keeping on the edge of the Canadian Rockies that he fears life in a castle will be “a bit tame.” The earl says he will take his seat in the House of Lords, but he has much to do beforehand. He says the Dowager Countess is very nice. “She is a fine lady,” he says. “Anyone can see she is a lady. My succession to the title is tough luck for her, but she realises that it canont be helped.” Frederick Percival, the earl's son and heir, seems to regard journalist and photographers as his natural enemh s. Asked if he would go to Oxford University, he replied: “I would sooner see & stampede. Everywheer I go I am pestered by. you newspaper suya." _*
