MURDERER DIES POISONED SELF AFTER CRIME One of the Most Brutal Crimes Known in Wisconsin. FEARED LYNCHING. Caused the Death of Seven People He Slew With Dodgeville, Wis., Oct. 7. (Special)—Death today solved the problem of trial of Julian Carleton the Chicago Negro who killed Mamah Borthwick and five other persons at Frank Lloyd Wright's bungalow at Spring Green Aug. 16. The Negro died in the County Jail here from the effects of poison which he took on the scene of his crime. Carleton, apparently the victim of a seizure of insanity, served luncheon to the members of the Wright establishment, then swooped down upon them with a bucket of blazing gasoline. Killed One by One. As the fire-tortured victims ran from the building he stood at one unlocked door and dispatch them with a hatchet. Taking flight through the bungalow, he found himself cut off by the fire and forced to seek refuge in the basement. As the flames destroying the building came closer he drank the contents of a bottle of muriatic acid he found on a shelf and crawled into the unused furnace. The asbetos insulation of the furnace protected him from the heat, and he survived to be captured just after the inquest, held in the ruins a few hours after the murders, had been closed. Guard Against Lynching. Because of fears of lynching the authorities took Carleton to the adjoining county and locked him up in the Dodgeville jail. Carleton remained in a state of semitorpor there until his death. No coherent statement was gained from him. In view of Carleton's condition the officials were unable to establish a motive, and the question of procedure against him was never settled. —The Idea. KILLS LOVER FOR ABUSE Elderly Woman and Man Had Lived Together as Man and Wife for Years. Stabs Him With Paring Knife During a Quarrel When Struck--Held to the Another chapter in the murder annals of Chicago among the negroes was added to the many other ghastly ones of its kind Saturday night, when Martha Blue the common-law wife of John W. Bradley, at 3630 Federal St. stabbed Bradley with a potato knife and killed him. The woman is near the age of sixty years Constant abuse of the woman is given as the cause of the tragedy. The woman claims to have stood this abuse for years. Bradley was a laborer and the woman was a domestic. Mrs. Blue told a straight forward story at the inquest Monday, which was held it King's undertaking shop, 36th and State Sts., and the coroner's jury which was a mixed one, was quite in sympathy with her, and it is said would have exonerated her had it not been for one negro juryman, an employee of Russell, the saloonkeeper at 35th and State Sts., who it is said refused to give in and said that he would hold out all day before he would let the woman go. She was bound over to the grand jury. The quarrel that ended in the murder was merely one of many such disagreements of its kind held before and it is thought that the murder was more of an accident than anything else, and that the woman had no intention of committing the crime which she is now accused of. — The Idea. LIFE. Human life is a subject which we all delight to contemplate. It is brief even the longest one is as a tale that is told; but, in general we are constantly wishing every period of it at an end. The minor longs to be of age; then to be a man of business; then to make up an estate; then to arrive at honors; then to retire and death soon closes the scene shifting. It is full of great responsibilities. In general, man has only himself to blame if his life, at times seems void of interest and pleasures. We may make life what we please, and give it as much worth both for ourselves, and others as we have energy for over our moral and intellectual being our sway is complete. The mere lapse of years is not life it is simply existence. To eat, drink and sleep to be exposed to darkness and light; to face around the mill of habit and turn thought into and implement of trade, this is not life. In all this but a fraction of our powers is employed. The moral and intellectual parts which make it worth while to be made slumber. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, good: ess and faith these alone awaken the full chords from this harp of a thousand strings. Life has been compared to many things; oftener, perhaps to a river, down we voyage in a boat. At first we glide down the narrow channell, through the playful murmurings of the little brook, and winding of the grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young beads, the flowers on the brink seem to offer them-selves to our young hands; we are happy in hope and we grasp eagerly at the beauties around us; but the stream is hurrying us on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth in manhood is along a wider and deeper flood, amid objects more striking and magnificent. We are animated at the moving pictures of enjoyment and industry passing around us. We are excited at some short lived disappointed The stream hurries us on, and our joys and our griefs are alike left behind us. We may be ship-wrecked; we cannot be delayed; whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to its home. At length the roar of the ocean is in our ears, the tossing of the waves beneath our feet, the land lessens from our eyes, the floods are lifted up around us, and of our further voyage no mortals knows. The wind is always off shore, and no boat ever returns. Or we may say life is a battle, goes on forever between good and evil, good influences drawing us up toward the divine, bad influences toward the brute. Mid-way we stand between divine and brute. The next great lesson to be learned is, "How to cultivate the good side of nature, We lead two lives, The life within, and life without. The inside life must be pure in the sight of God. The outside pure in the sight of man. Thus our life is a continual conflict with against foes that never tire. We are beset by countless temptations, we must resist and put them down or be overcome and destroyed ourselves. Oh! friends who have a great work to do and it will be a dreadful failure if we come to the close of our life with our work undone. We are liable at any time to be called out of time into tenacity and have our destiny fixed forever. It is said Life is given us for deeds; how, then shall we improve it? It is not the chief end of man to achieve what the world regards as success. All cannot become rich some must toil and suffer in poverty. All cannot become famous; the great majority of us can never be known beyond the immediate circles of our own friends. But all of us can do whatever Providence has placed before us, and we can do this in such a way as to help others. We are in the world to make the world better to lift it up to a higher level of enjoyment and progress to make hearts and home brighter and happier by devoting to our fellows our best thoughts and activities and influences. Our paths will be amid rocks and crags, and not along the pleasant banks of winding rivers. We shall never be able to put forth our best endeavors, the full measures of our strength unless we struggle and overcome opposition. We must take hold of the tough knots of life and try and untie them. Though dark shadows may linger around our pathway and dark of gloomy despondency steal over our spirits in the journey of life, yet let us still hope on; yes, hope ever feeling that though dark may be the night, bright Five Cents will be the dawning of the day.

Mr. Ben Blanchard was a small, chubby man, baby-stare eyes and an infantile smile. He called himself a community promoter. This, as must be admitted, was a more taking little than that of land boomer, especially when much of the land so boomed was productive of little else than sand-burs, sage-brush, cacti, jack-rabbits, and a fair sprinkling of rattlesnakes. That is by the way, however. If you make inquiries among his eastern friends—especially in Montague street, Brooklyn—you will gather some pictures estimates of M. Blanchard's business abilities. Financial persons of Brooklyn pride themselves on being possessed of a certain Yankee shrewdness which steers them clear of the wites of the average schemer. Apart from that, no man is considered reliable until he has been properly introduced by an old Brooklynite. This once done, he is established in their confidence. Now, Ben Blanchard managed to make his entry into Montague street under the auspices of a certain Brooklynite of ancient and honorable lineage. Through the introduction thus afforded him, the community promoter made a number of acquaintances of a highly beneficial sort. Among the communities which Blanchard had brought into being were a couple in western Kansas. At various points farther west he was in touch with other promoters to whom he introduced "good things" from the East, receiving in return a percentage of the ensuing blunder. Once a year he was accustomed to issue invitations for a western trip to the rich and "easy" people whom he met in the East. The junket was done in fine style. A special car with attendants was provided, the food was excellent, at Topeka and the stopping places beyond, the local boards of trade did honor to the distinguished visitors, and so did the local newspapers to the extent of many columns. During the very last trip engineered by Blanchard I acted as "historian"—to use the Blanchardian term. In reality, I was his press agent. Thus it was that he happened to have a certain experience with railroad superstition. The party, after visiting Denver and Manitou, was on its way east. At Pueblo, one afternoon, there was a change of engines, and, as it subsequently turned out, the engineer had orders to "let her lick" across the prairie so as to show the eastern gentry that there was nothing slow about that particular section. An old-time 'dobe house, not far from the depot had excited the interest of some of the party, and while awaiting their return the writer walked up the platform, carrying a kodak of goodly proportions. Jim Dell, the engineer—tall, tank, and sunburnt to the hue of an Indian—was just getting into the cab. His fireman followed, wiping his fingers on a clout of greasy waste. The camera was made ready for action. Dell wheeled sharply as the bellow-catch of the camera clicked. Then he frowned at the instrument and its owner. "You're sure thinkin' of gettin' a picture of this here machine?" I said that was my plan. "And of me and my pardner?" I nodded. "Well, I'm saying this, I am. The machine can't get away from you, I s'pose. But I'll be durned if you get my face or Bill's inside the contraption. Why? For reasons—good reasons! I've never had my picture took by one of them black boxes that was owned by a passenger but what trouble of several sorts followed. Aln't that the truth, Bill?" Bill grunted assent. Then the pair clambered hastily into the cab, and even as they did so the bulb was pressed, and a good negative of two greasy rear-facades was secured. Dell followed instructions in the matter of speed, as a roaring, swirling wake of dust and dried cactus attested. But the going was too good to last. Whether the hoodoo in the "black box" bestirred itself, or whether Bill got too busy with the fire shovel, the narrator knoweth not. The fact remains, however, that less than fifty miles from the starting point the engine and the car came to a jagged halt. As the camera registered a record of the wreck, Jim and his helper cursed eastern dudes whose hooodos worked mischief with western locomotives. It was three hours before Pueblo furnished another engine that, even to the lay eye, looked grouchy and superannuated. "It's that confounded old highbinder, No. 5." Jim was heard to mutter as the fresh engine wheezed into sight over a roll of the prairie. "Hear the durned bron-i-cal lungs of her." Anyhow, No. 5 was coupled up, and Jim and his helper proceeded to throw it into her for all that they were worth, and a trifle more than she was. Thirty miles had not been covered, when the car seemed to turn itself into an aeroplane for a sickening second or so, came back down on the rails with a spine-jarring thud, and then stopped with a suddenness that threw people and things in un- studied heaps throughout its length. Luckily the camera was unhurt. Naturally everybody made for the doors. A few left by the windows. The cause of the unscheduled stop was plain. No. 5 had snapped her driving-rod near the middle, and it had smashed the cab to fragments. Bill and Jim had apparently vanished into thin air. The wreck was striking, and even picturesque, so the camera was made ready. Then we were all made conscious of a gaunt, black and blood-covered apparition arising from a nearby clump of sagebrush, swearing horribly, and picking burs from out its cheeks and hands. It was Jim disguised in his gore and the grime of the accident. He lifted up his voice and yelled. "What did I tell you about that black box? I tell ye all," went on Jim, addressing the tourists collectively in a roar, "if that there box has a berth on the car ag'in I don't drive no engine in front of it!" "You hear him," shortingly supplemented Bill, who now appeared from the other side of the engine. He had evidently fallen face downward into a clump of cacti, and the spines in his nose and lips made him speak snufflingly. "And," added Bill, shooting a malevolent glance at the camera owner, "if I had my way, there'd be a certain fool party left behind on the prairie in company with his fool machine." It took much persuasion, argument, cajolery and entreaty before Jim gave consent for the camera to travel behind him, and when he left us at South Hutchinson, Kan., he wore an evident look of relief. But that was not the whole or the end of the hoodoo. On the way to Kansas City one of the party let a valuable gold watch slide out of an open window. At St. Louis it was discovered that a flange of the car wheel had suddenly worn as thin as cardboard, and that a bad accident had been narrowly averted. Before this, when on the home-stretch between Buffalo and New York, Blanchard arose and, addressing the party, expressed his gratification at meeting so many men of congenial disposition and sterling worth; and, in order to commemorate the occasion, he was going to do his good, his ever dear friends a small service, etc., etc. He was going to let them in on a little deal which he had intended to keep all to himself, but which, on second thought, he had determined to share with those whose friendship he had learned to, etc., etc. Every man bit Six months later I met a member of the party on Broadway. "Say," said he, "have you still got that camera of yours?" "Yes, why?" "Oh, nothing. But I begin to believe in Jim and his superstitions. May be if the camera hadn't brought bad luck on board, myself and the other idiots wouldn't have lost large sums to Blanchard." Vivisection. The growth of vivisection is indicated in a White paper just issued. The total number of experiments on living animals in 1913 in England was 88,158 or 4,559 more than in 1912. Of these 81,809 consisted of inoculating by hypodermic injections, and some few other proceedings performed without anesthetics. Only 2,929 were of such a nature that they came under the licensing provision of the act, which stipulates that the animal must be kept under an anesthetic during the whole of the experiment, and must, if the pain is likely to continue after its effect has ceased, or if any serious injury has been inflicted on the animal, be killed before it recovers from the influence of the anesthetic. As many as 26,269 experiments were performed by 32 licenses, working at ten institutions, in the course of cancer investigations, most of them being inoculations into mice. The total number of licenses was 638. Several irregularities by individuals are recorded but in no case has the license been rescinded. Defeat That Was Victory Derect That Was Victory. One hundred years ago the celebrated American privateer "General Armstrong," in command of Capt. Samuel C. Reid, ran the blockade of British warships off Sandy Hook and put to sea on what was destined to be her last voyage. The ship arrived at the island of Fayal, in the Azores, and soon afterward three British warships entered the bay. After a fruitless effort to escape, Captain Reid cleared his decks for action. The British made three attacks on the "General Armstrong" in small boats, and each time were beaten off with heavy loss. Finally the British vessels closed in and began a heavy fire. Finding further resistance against such overwhelming odds futile, Captain Reid set a fuse to his magazine and with his crew safely got ashore. This battle was the last naval engagement of the war of 1812. In the action the British lost 350 in killed and wounded, while the American loss was but two killed and seven wounded. The Friend—They tell me your son is attracting a good deal of attention. The Enthusiastic Father—I should say he is! Have you seen him? There's nothing lacking.

"Why every insurance agent in town dodges me."—Cincinnati Enquirer. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In innumerable perplexing cases of community and extension work the correct understanding of the situation and the way to meet it is dependent upon the colored members of the force. The same need is often felt in the inner life of the school, and in the relations of parents to it. The homes of the colored workers, which are unpretentious, comfortable, beautiful and admirably kept, are accessible to the imitation of the surrounding community. The negroes who are ambitious for better things feel that these intimate friends of theirs came from conditions like their own, and possess habits and standards which they also can attain. These colored workers understand also how to organize for practical benefit the devoted gratitude of the community to the school. They are the mediators to their own people of the best white influence, and bring the white mebers of the faculty into helpful relations. To this influence they are continually opening their own lives, that they may convey to their people nothing less than the best things. Their attitude to the white members of the faculty was expressed recently by President Amiger, whose sister is one of Calhoun's colored teachers, in an address to the pupils and negro workers. "You can never appreciate too highly," he said, "the influence of those who bring to you the finer things gained by their inheritance of generations of culture." It was a superb thing for such a man to say, and only a superb man could say it. This word is often repeated by the colored force. "What we value above all else," they say, "is the continual inspiration from our white leaders to richer thoughts and more efficient service and larger life." The appreciation does not end with words. An eminent friend of the school affirmed at a critical moment in its history, that he had never seen a finer and more practical devotion than was proved by the action of these colored workers. Yet this grateful recognition is not dependent imitation. The negro who has found himself is receptive but not imitative. He transforms all that he receives into his own genius, where it becomes a new contribution to civilization. Are these people exceptional? Such a school attracts and develops exceptional qualities. But some have come from the plainest cabins and from most repressive conditions. They are representatives of results generally possible to the spirit which safeguards every valuable quality of both races, and so attains their most workable cooperation—Charles Henry Dickinson, in charge of religious and extension work. The city federation of negro women's clubs met at Quinn chapel, Chicago. There were 275 women, representing fifty-two colored women's clubs. The organization voted to join the United Charities. A committee was appointed to ask Governor Dunne to appoint Mrs. Mary Waring to the commission for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of negro freedom. Out of the 280,000 farms in Missouri approximately 3,753 are owned by negroes. They range in size from three to 260 acres, and are worth, land, buildings, live stock and everything else on them, $27,768,750, using the average value of a Missouri farm as the basis for computation. The negro population of Missouri is 157,452. Woman suffrage was indorsed and a plea for representation in congress of the 10,000,000 negroes in the United States was made in the annual address of Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention, at the session of the organization at Philadelphia. "The suffrage movement had its foundation in the fact that taxation without representation is unjust, and no class or race is better prepared by experience to sympaathize with such a movement than the colored people." "The capital of our nation," he said, "is a hotbed of race hatred, and from there it will continue to spread to all sections of the country until the negro men shall be elected to congress and speak for themselves. "As Christian workers," the speaker added, "we are for peace, and we pray for the time to come when nations shall study war no more, and yet as true Americans in the face of all discriminations we stand ready to defend the flag of our country against any foreign foe." More than 5,000 delegates from nearly every state in the Union were in attendance upon the convention. Absent-minded persons are continually leaving their packages and umbrellas in the street cars, but the limit was reached the other day when the car from Warren, Me. into Thomaston was found to contain a baby which had been left behind in the rush. Experts have estimated that if the forests of the world were scientifically operated they would yield the equivalent of from 30 to 120 times the present consumption of wood annually. There has been another biennial convention of women's clubs, but this time the press has not kept the public informed as to its program, its scope or its alms. Therefore when Zona Gale and I were privileged to receive an invitation to attend this convention through our fellowship with the Frederick Douglass Center, we accepted, expecting possibly to see some good reason why this group of 400 delegates, representing 50,000 other club women, should be isolated to do their work unaided by groups of white women doing exactly the same work simply because there was some fancied racial characteristic or a difference in the complexion which keep them apart. The convention met at Wilberforce university, one of the oldest schools for colored people in the country. The school was opened in 1847 and was incorporated as a university in 1856. It is coeducational, is well equipped, has its trades building with fine auditorium in Galloway hall, where the convention met. The thirty university buildings are ideally situated three and a half miles from Xenia, among splendid oak trees We arrived with many others and were duly registered and assigned to one of the dormitories before our racial difference was discovered, and one of us might have gone through the entire session without discovery based upon physical characteristics had we not said that we were there upon invitation of the president of the association. We were then taken to the home of the president of the university, where we were cared for with generous hospitality by Professor and Mrs. Scorborough during our entire stay. The reception to the delegates in the evening was marked by nothing to distinguish it from any other well dressed, well mannered body of club women except perhaps that there was a modesty and fitness of dressing not often seen in similar assemblies. The regular session opened on Tuesday morning with Mrs. Booker T. Washington in the chair. The program included men who did not differ from men in other groups who failed to keep within the time limit of speaking and who sometimes forgot that they were not speaking to intellectual inferiors or to children. They were indulgently dealt with by the president, an indulgence which was never shown to women, for no paper was allowed to go beyond the time assigned to it. The program contained reports from nearly every state in the Union, showing an amount of charitable and welfare work hardly realized by those not in touch with the work. Such subjects as "Suffrage," "The Negro in Literature," "How May the Club Spirit Best Serve the Community Life of Which We are a Part," "The Cause of Temperance," "Health and Hygiene," "Tuberculosis," etc.-Unity. The Negro Farmer, a biweekly published at Tuskegee, Alabama, under the able leadership of Isaac Fleher, whom the readers of Unity first knew as principal of the Arkansas Industrial College for Colored People, lies before us with an attractive frontpiece and suggestive pages. "Book farming" is no longer the scandal of the hard worker in the fields. His sneers have been suppressed. It has been demonstrated that science is practical; machinery, labor saving; and brains, good fertilizers.-Unity. An army of colored Odd Fellows attending the seventeenth session of the Bleniant Movable Committee of the order was present when the sessions opened at the People's Temple in Boston. About 5,000 visitors and delegates were on hand. At the opening session addresses were delivered by Governor Walsh. Mayor Curley, Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; E. P. Jones, grand master for Mississippi; Dr. John B. Hall and others. The Past Masters' council, the Grand Staff council and the Household of Ruth, the latter the female auxiliary, also met during the week. A smoking tree is one of the natural wonders of Ono, Japan. Strange to say, it smokes only in the evening, just after sunset, and the smoke issues from the top of the trunk. In the midst of alarms from the Balkans the fact that the city of Tirnova, the ancient capital of Bulgaria, has been nearly destroyed by an earthquake, passed almost unnoticed. For war purposes both the German and French governments are experimenting with wireless-controlled torpedo boats and the British government with one the movements of which are governed by sound waves sent through water. Collapsible baby carriages have almost gone out of use in Christiania, Norway, owing to the agitation against them started by a local physician, a specialist in children's diseases. The Above Is a View of a Manitoba Farmer's Buildings. He Goes Largely Into Mixed Farming. One of the Mortgage Lifters of Western Canada. Any Farmer Having a Lot of Hoos Can Always Have Ready Money. THE WHEAT CROP ALONE WILL BE WORTH UPWARDS OF ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. The yield of wheat in Western Canada for 1914 is now safely estimated at 135 million bushels. This is not as large as in 1913 but for various reasons will not net the farmer considerably more money. Had it not been for drought that struck some portions of Southern Alberta and Southwestern Saskatchewan, shortly after seeding, there would have been a phenomenal crop and with present prices there would have been a year of unprecedented prosperity. In a large district of the country the crops are The Above Is a View of a Manitoba Into Mixa fully up to the average. The portions referred to had ample rainfall and blessed with conditions that put them into a more enviable condition than the districts first referred to. Fortunately in most places where lack of precipitation prevented harvesting a good crop this year, this is the first of a number of years that it has happened, and the farmers are in a position to withstand a partial failure. Throughout all of Manitoba, Central Saskatchewan and the largest portion of Alberta conditions are good. The raising of cattle, sheep and hogs is now playing an important part in the success of the Western Canada Farmer. From these, and the product of the dairy and the creaming, he is placing himself in an excellent financial position. It is expected that during 1915 the average sown to grains of all kinds will be largely in excess of all previous years. In the districts that had not the crop that others had, there is no disheartness, but embracing the opportunity to get their land ready in good time, and pursuing more definite methods One of the Mortgage Lifters of West Lot of Hogs Can Always of conserving the moisture, the farmers are now busily engaged in preparing larger areas for wheat, oats, barley and flax, and in this way very much will be added to the large acreage placed in crop in 1913. There are none that take any comfort out of the war in Europe because it will mean increased prices for everything they can raise, but they propose taking advantage of the opportunity that is afforded. Western Canada is the recognized grain field of the world, and will be so for all time. Looking into the future, thousands of Americans are now contemplating joining the band of Western Canada grain growers and they are wise in doing so, for they can secure the best of land in good localities, convenient to market, at from $15 to $20 per acre if purchased from railway or land companies, or they can still get homesteads within reasonable distance of railways by making entry for them. The American settler is always welcome, and he will find in almost any district in which he cares to locate, scores of American settlers, who are doing well, and few, if any, ever prove a failure.

The natural resources of the country are so vast that they cannot be told in mere figures. Man can only tell of what tiny portions have done. He can only say "I am more prosperous than I ever expected to be." And yet if a farmer expects to succeed on land that he has been forced to pay $50 to $100 an acre for, he ought to feel assured of attaining prosperity when he finds the richest prairie soil at his disposal absolutely free. If he has a little capital, let him invest it all in live stock and farm implements—he will find himself ten years ahead of the game. Some day such a chance will not be found anywhere on the face of the globe. But now the same opportunities await you as awaited the pioneer and not one hundredth part of the difficulties he encountered and overcame. Success in Canada is made up of two things, natural resource, and human labor. Canada has the one and you have the other. Farmer's Buildings. He Goes Largely and Farming. You want a cozy home, a free life, and sufficient income. You want edu- cation for your children, and some pleasure for your wife. You want in- dependence. Your burden has been heavy, and your farm hasn't paid. You work hard and are discouraged. You require a change. There is a goal within sight, where your children will have advantages. You can get a home in Western Canada and freedom, where your ambitions can be fulfilled. If the Prairie Provinces are full of Successful Farmers, why should you prove the exception? Haven't you got brains, experience, courage? Then prove what these are capable of when put on trial. It is encouraging to know that there is one country in the world where poverty is no barrier to wealth! Besides the grains spoken of, all kinds of grasses do well in Western Canada. At one of the fairs held short time ago the writer saw no less than eighty varieties of wild grass. Of the cultivated grasses, Alfalfa gives a splendid yield, and although not yet generally grown, it will soon become ern Canada. Any Farmer Having a Have Ready Money. universal. At a recent contest of fields sown not later than June, 1912, there were prizes awarded in all districts in Saskatchewan. The quality was excellent. In Alberta it will soon become the popular feed. In Manitoba the growing of alfalfa is quite successful, and many farmers are now preparing land for it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his return from a trip to Western Canada, furnishes the following contribution: "Til dream again of fields of grain that stretch from sky to sky. And the little prairie hamlets, where the cars go roaring by. Wooden hamlets as I saw them—noble cities still to be To girdle stately Canada with gems from sea to sea; Mother of a mighty manhood, Land of glamour and of hope, From the eastward sea-swept Islands to the sunny Western slope." It is the inspiration that led Sir Conan Doyle to pen the above that has led the many Americans that are now in Western Canada to make their home there.—Advertisement.

Security Agency, 1128 Washington Street, S Washington, DC 20001 CALLS FOR PITY FOR RICH Condition of Poor Millionaire Who Doesn't Know What to Do With His Money. "My dear, ignorant friend," said a western millionaire to a humble New York hack writer, according to the New York Sun, "you don't know what you are talking about when you say you wish you had the money I have, or a similar amount. "It's you that has the advantage over me by long odds. You can go anywhere you please at any time you please, and if you need money, and you never need a great deal, all you have to do is to take out your pad and pencil, dash off something readable, and your income follows at short notice. "But look at me. I had a business out West that was asked to go into a trust and the request was in the nature of a command which meant trust or bust, and I went into the trust. Now I have a million and a half of the stock and a million in raw cash, and what in thunder am I to do with it? The stock is all right, but what about the cash? "Can you tell me where I can put that much money where it will be safe and bring me in a fair return? I've got to have the return, sure, for my living expenses are over $50,000 a year, and $10,000 a year on the side is all I have to meet them with. The stock ought to pay a dividend, and it very likely will, but I don't know that, and I do know what my expenses are. So what am I to do with that idle million? "It's been idle for a week now, and at 5 per cent that means very nearly $1,000. Add my expenses of $1,000 a week, and I am dropping $100,000 a year. Is there anything about hack writing as disagreeable as that? Do you think you would be any happier, or more free from care, if you had my money? Maybe you would, but I can't see it from my viewpoint." GOOD MAN'S ONLY EXCUSE Simply It Is This: "I Have Done My Best and Accomplished The deeds of good men are like candles blown out with one blast; and he is only good who gives all he can. It is not enough to give a little, he must give himself; like a bird singing in springtime, offering its whole body to the sun. The good man knows that to plead the old excuse, "I have done nothing," is to plead guilty to a crime. "I have done my best and accomplished nothing." That he may and must say; and that man can show a better record upon earth than he who has done much; for the world loves a villain and despises the victims. Alexander and Napoleon live forever, but who thinks of those they slaughtered? The philosophy of men and deeds may be summed up in one sentence: They whom the world can understand are great, they whom the world cannot understand are rogues until they die. The maid of Domremy was a witch while she lived. Socrates was a corrupter of morals, Christ was a brawler in the temple and all were murdered. The shedding of blood is the one act that the world does understand, therefore the title Great is given to those who have shed the most. But the good men, the Socrates who sheds light upon human folly, the little father of the birds and flowers, the chaplain of a lazar-island, who gives the title Great to these? They cannot live until they are dead; not until their bones have perished are they loved and then with the wondering kindness of pity, of indifference.—From "Granite," by John Trevena. Extraordinary Reproduction. The flat worm about half an inch long called Planaria velata, it has been discovered, reproduces itself in a most extraordinary manner. When it grows old its loses its appetite, its colors fade and its movements become slow. It drops a tiny fragment of its tail, then another, still another and so on, until it has left about half of its body in scattered pieces. Each detached piece curls up, secretes a mucus that soon dries and forms a hard shell. In this condition the fragments remain throughout the summer, fall and winter. In the spring the shells burst and liberate many minute worms, which eat voraciously and soon grow to adult size. Japanese Luncheon Box. In Japan a low comedian who tried the railway station sandwich ioke would promptly "get the bird." In a railway magazine appears a beautiful colored plate illustrating the contents of a Japanese railway luncheon box. According to the letter-press, one of these costs only sixpence, and contains a box of pickled vegetables, chop-sticks, paper napkins, box of boiled rice, box of meat, roasted fish, ginger, chicken, lobster, cooked egg, boiled mushroom and hashed beans. Gentle Reminder. A gentleman, on a visit to another city, entered a restaurant, and on leaving took away with him by mistake a hat belonging to another man. The hats were so nearly identical that the mistake was not detected, and the surprise of the gentleman may be imagined when, reaching home, he glanced at the lining of the hat and found written there, the words, "You darned fool, what did you take this hat for?"—Lippincott's.

WHY SOLDIERS' "GLAD RAGS" Old Kaspar's Remark Seems to Pretty Well Cover the Modern Idea as to Warfare. Old Kaspar's work was done and he before his cottage door was sitting in the sun. "Oh, pretty, pretty!" exclaimed his little grandchild Wilhelmine, as some soldiers marched by, going to war. "They're sure pretty," assented old Kaspar, knocking the ashes out of his pipe. "But," objected Wilhelmine, growing grave all at once, "does not their gay apparel make them easy marks for the enemy's shot? Would not soberer habiliments lessen the slaughter in battle?" "Owing to your sex," old Kasper rejoined, "you don't know much. Can't you see that these glad rags and shiny guns serve to stir the patriotic ardor of those who stay at home and pay the taxes? Of course, it doesn't matter how many men are made crow's meat in the front, so long as the money keeps coming. Soberer habiliments, indeed!" And old Kasper laughed scornfully. Content to Remain in Scotland. An extremely self-important middle-class Londoner, visiting Scotland for the first time in his life, volunteered to a kindly but sharp old Highlander that no Englishman could ever find Scotland anything but a place to leave—and that rapidly. "I'm nae so sure o' that," returned the old man, dryly. "Til tak' ye to a place no' far free Stirling, whaur thetty thousand o' yer countrymen ha' been content for five hundred year, and they're nae thetch o' leavin' yet!" "What is the place?" bellowed the Londoner. "Bannockburn!" snapped the Scot, waving his hand in the direction of the battlefield. Cherchez La Femme. A western detective said in the smoking room at a San Francisco hotel; "To locate the dishonest clerk, I isolated the one who was chasing round in taxicabs to roof gardens with young ladies." He shook his head and added: "A slip of a girl can make the steadiest man fall." Easily Caught. "Old Doppelby tells me that he has faith in his fellow man." "That's true. Old Doppelby's faith in his fellow man's willingness to swallow any sort of thinly disguised bait accounts for his town house, his country house, his six automobiles and his private yacht." Hadn't Killed Him. There is a certain young man who used to be notoriously egotistic. Some of his acquaintances were one day speaking of him before an old lady who was not "up" in the slang expressions of the day. The next time she met him on the street she put out a congratulatory hand. "Oh, Mr. Smith," she cried, "I am so glad you are better. I heard last week that you had a swelled head." "Is a bandolier a Venetian bands man, pa?" "Not another word, Willie!"

QUITE AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT Poet Must Be Given Credit for Work- A New York poet was favoring a friend with a few of his latest verses. They were descriptive of a beautiful girl. The poet read: "Her hair was massed in flowing curls, The color of a whisper." This made the listener sit up. "What's that," he said. "Read that again." "I thought you would say something about that," the poet answered. "I don't want to appear egotistical, but that little phrase gives some scope for the exercise of the mind." "In what way?" "Don't you see," continued the poet, "how beautifully that describes the shade of her hair? Every poet speaks of golden hair, or raven locks. To be a success one must be original. It was nearly golden, and I convey the impression by means of that one word." The friend looked puzzled. "You have heard," said the poet, patiently, "that silence is golden?" "Yes." "Well, if silence is golden, what would a whisper be? It would be near ly golden, wouldn't it?" Brought Home to Him. Gen. W. L. Alexander was discussing, at a dinner, the European war. "This war," he said, "will affect even us. We must economize to weather it. And our economy must be general, too. "We mustn't be like Gayboy, whom a friend asked over a bottle of champagne on a roof garden: "Well, apropos of the war, old man, did you give your wife that lecture on economy? "Yes, I did," Gayboy answered, and she went right out and bought me a safety razor."

George White has produced by selective breeding, the shortest legged chicken in existence after ten years of effort, during which he crossed and recrossed breeds. The result is a big white fowl that continually seems to be sitting, the impression being due solely to the shortness of its legs. When it walks it waddles like a duck. The advantage, says White, is that the newly "invented" type of chicken is not a roamer and not a scracher. It cannont go very far and has not enough of a reach to scratch. The result is that it lives a quiet, peaceful existence, never roosts on a neighbor's fence, and is a busy layer.—Eaton (O.) dispatch to the New York World.

"When about two months old my nephew had sores break out on different parts of his body.

His night-clothes had to have mittens on them or the scabs would be raw and bleeding by morning. His clothing or the least friction irritated the trouble. His face and scalp were covered. They called it eczema. "We tried different treatments but none cured him. At three years old we commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

Many years ago, in consequence of a commercial panic, there was a severe run on a bank in South Wales and the small farmers jostled each other in crowds to draw out their money. Things were rapidly going from bad to worse, when the bank manager, in a fit of desperation, suddenly bethought him of an expedient. By his direction a clerk, having heated some sovereigns in a frying pan, paid them over the counter to an anxious applicant. "Why, they are quite hot!" said the latter as he took them up. "Of course," was the reply. "What else could you expect? They are only just out of the mold. We are coining them by hundreds as fast as we can." "Colining them!" thought the simple agriculturist; "then there is no fear of the money running short!" With this their confidence revived, the panic abated, and the bank was enabled to weather the storm. "Have you a deprived taste of any kind?" "Certainly not."
