A traveller in the Auckland Province recently came across an ex-M.P. on his farm. Ho extended his sympathy over his recent defeat. “Don’t worry,” said the ei politician, “I have never felt happier or freer in my life. I can now attend to my own affairs instead of the pubil’s, and call my soul my own. This political game is a dog’s life, and I am pleased to be out of it. I never could have realised how sweet life can be working.on one’s own farm, doing what one wants to, and living a care-free life. Politics are thraldom, nothing else, and I never want to enter them again.”
