LIBERIANS CALL FOR AID Washington—President Roosevelt transmitted to congress with his approval, a letter from Secretery of State Root asking that authority be given for the appointment of a commission of three Americans to go to Liberia to assist that republic strengthen its hold on the reigns of government. The president in his indorsment of the proposition asks for appropriation of $20, 000 for the payment of the expenses of the commission. Mr. Root says the 50,000 civilized negroes mostly descendants of the colonist from the United states, find it difficult to control the native tribes or to conduct their own government in accordance with modern requirements. TILLMAN DENIES IT Washington-Senator Tillman denied that he was opposed to the education of negroes as President - Elect Taft is reported to have said yesterday at Augvsta Ga. was the case. He said he w ever he was antagonistic to the Republican plan of uplifting the negros which means domination by them in the south. Mr Tillman added that if the republican would abandon this plan by repealing the fifteenth amendment result would be to give the state control of their own affairs and thus give them an opqortunity to assist the negroes in a legitimate way. BRIDE ELECT A NEGRESS Carmi Ill. By keeping his bride ect in a cab at the court house James A King claiming Rockport Ind. his home succeede in obtaining license to marry Mrs. Jennie Wallace a negress. Clerk Downs issued the marriage license believing both parties white and did not discover the mistake until Rev. Parsons E. Green reported the marraige. The couple left on the first train for Rockport. It was White county's first mixed color marraige violating the Ill. law against marriage of whites to negroes.

Thereby an untrace myself a candidate for the nomination as Mayor of Wichita subject to the Republican primary, on March 2nd 1909. J. C. ROBB. One thing certain is that the Emmanuel movement cannot stop the pervading disposition of man to put up an argument. A new kind of flea has been discovered in California. It has six teeth and is a high jumper. Maybe it is designed to pounce on airships. An exchange tells us that the kaiser's favorite maxim is "Forget it." All right. Von Buelow isn't going to be the one to jog his memory. Senator Elkins has long had an eye to the best investments. Since the country thought that he was figuring on a duke, he has bought a bank. Whitling's chief of police was held up and robbed of his star, revolvers, money and billy. He hope the highwaymen left him with at least a clew. A Colorado man gave his grandson, aged one month, $1,000,000 as a Christmas present. Think of the toys that youngster can buy with all that money. The telephone girls at Rockford, Ill., struck because they were not permitted to talk. As well tell the birds not to sing and the flowers not to throw off their fragrance. A Pittsburg artist succeeded in getting a flashlight photograph of a member of the city council in the act of receiving a bribe. It may properly be referred to as a moving picture. Specializing in farming will be carried too far if scientific farmers produce cobless corn. Several thousand acres then would have to be devoted to raising a variety that grew only cob pipes. Both Paris and London are discussing the commercial future of the flying machine. It is a safe prophecy that the sporting fraternity will get into aeroplanning some time in advance of commerce. Castro of Venezuela, who "revoluted" himself into the presidency and has held on like grim death ever since, must have hearty contempt for one who is so "easy" as the late President Alexis of Hayt. A New York judge has decided that a man whose salary is not more than six dollars a week need not pay alimony. This may cause some men to quit exaggerating when they refer to the salaries they draw. Since this country set up in business as an independent nation its gold mines have yielded more than three billion dollars. It takes the American hen about six years to furnish eggs and chickens worth that much. Going barefoot seems to be growing less popular in the West Indies than it used to be. During the last fiscal year the United States exported more than two and a half million pairs of shoes to these islands, one-third as many as the exports to the whole world. Early in the new year another battleship will be added to the navy. It will be called the Delaware in honor of Maryland's little neighbor on the east. No doubt it will be a fine ship, and will add more strength to about the strongest naval fighting force in the whole world. Gleanings of Gotham Life in the Great Metropolis Mirrored for Our Readers J. K. Tod Now Living Close to Nature J. K. Tod Now Living Close to Nature NEW YORK.—Flfty million dollars in gold, silver and currency were moved across Wall street the other day, when the National City bank quit its old home, 52 Wall street, for its new quarters, the old United States custom house, remodeled. The removal of this enormous sum of money was accomplished by the bank's own clerks and messengers, who, under heavy guard, crossed and recrossed the street carrying great leather bags, each containing not less than $10,000. The street was filled with policemen to head off anything suggestive of trouble. A year ago the old custom house was turned over to builders. The interior was completely remodeled, but the granite walls, with the familiar Ionic columns, were left practically untouched. By adding a Corinthian colonnade and adhering strictly to a scheme of classic simplicity it is believed an admirable result has been obtained. WARD 21 MRS. TOM PIERCE, "sportiest woman in the world," once a leader of New York's smart set, and most famous woman whip in America, has been liberated from the private sanitarium in Norwalk, Conn., being adjudged sane on her brother's statement that he simply had his sister placed in the asylum to enable her to recover from a case of alcoholism. Mrs. Pierce at her fashionable home in this city, declared she has been the victim of a conspiracy and was subjected to the greatest cruelty by her brother, from which she was rescued only through the ceaseless efforts of MR. J. KENNEDY TOD goes down into the Wall street district two or three times a week to keep in touch with his financial interests, though he retired two years ago from the Stock Exchange firm of J. Kennedy Tod & Co., which is now composed of his two nephews, Mr. William Stuart Tod, who is the representative on the floor, and Mr. Robert E. Tod, who has charge of the office end. Mr. Tod is in a healthy, active old age, and is apparently possessed of as much vitality as he was a generation ago. This is due to the fact, he assets with no little pride, that he is Hominy Muffins Take a cup of warm boiled hominy cooked to the proper consistency for a breakfast mush and mix with it a tablespoonful of butter, a half teaspoonful salt and a cup of milk. Sift together a cup and a half of pastry flour and a teaspoonful and a half of baking powder, and add gradually to the hominy mixture. If the boiled hominy was rather thin a little more flour may be needed to make the proper consistency. Lastly add two well-beaten eggs and bake in a hot oven for half 22 hour. NO 45. The entire lower section is given over to a great banking chamber, the ceiling of which is 60 feet high and 83 feet to the top of the central dome. Dominating from its position in the center of the banking room every other feature of the ground floor is the great armor plate weight, weighing 30,000 tons. Bare of disguise or ornament, the architects are frankly treating it as a strong box. The safe has every known effective safety feature, the most modern and striking of which is a system of steam coils encircling the great iron box designed to parboli in a moment any person bent on robbery. The steam can be shot into these coils by touching several concealed buttons in a twinkling, making all the space about the safe a veritable furnace. The purpose of such a feature is to foil any attempted bold holdup in banking hours, no matter how strong or how heavily armed the raiding force. The safe might be wide open, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in plain view, every bank clerk and official on that floor might be looking down the muzzle of a revolver, yet an office boy on the upper floor could touch a button and no human being could approach the safe and live. The National City bank is just four years short of 100 years old. Free from Asylum her friend, Adele Ritchie, the actress. For years Mrs. Tom Pierce has been the most talked of woman of the smart set. New York's millionaire circle knew no more daring rider to the hounds. In the field Mrs. Pierce's aim was the surest. No one drove blooded horses with such consumate skill. But it was also said that no one could sit longer at the festive board where highballs bubbled and rare wine flowed. So ardent a sportswoman did she become that she discarded the feminine garb of field and chase. She startled society by riding to hounds in male attire, and even afoot she frequently adhered to the bewitchingly sportive panama hat, box coat, riding breeches and puttee leggings. Several weeks ago Mrs. Pierce suddenly dropped out of sight. She was last seen at the office of her brother, J. C. Rogers, and was next heard of in the sanitarium. living as nearly as possible close to nature, and in that manner of simple life which gives to a man a wholesome body and a cheerful, unobstructed, broadened view of life. Mr. Tod has put some of his ideas into operation at his handsome home at Sound Beach, Conn., and not long ago, whez he introduced a new idea into his simple life scheme, became talked of as a man who had a palace for his home, but who found joy in sleeping in a "shack." The structure is made of plain boards and so supplied with windows that it has perfect ventilation. Mr. Tod's place is surrounded on three sides by the sound, and he owns a large island to the west which at low tide is connected with the mainland. This place is a great clamming ground for the neighbors, and at one time schooners loaded with sand at this island, but Mr. Tod finally stopped the custom. Beef and Carrots. Beef and Carrots. Take one pound of round of beef and chop coarsely. Chop three carrots fine and cook with the meat in water just to cover until done. Season this with salt, pepper, butter and an onion grated. Thicken with a tablespoonful of flour, rubbed smooth with cold milk. Desserts on Ice. If you want to keep your desserts on the top of the ice, place a newspaper over the ice and your dishes never slip off or tip over. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N. MILLER.....Editor Residence Phone Bell 1641.

MANN CARRIES CHEER TO DEAF-MUTES. Preaches with Flying Fingers—Holds Large Audiences Entranced by His Manual Expounding of the Scriptures. Cleveland, O.—Rev. Austin W. Mann is the most interesting missionary in the world to-day. His work is with the deaf-mutes of the United States. For over 30 years this silent, conscientious Episcopal minister has been about the United States, carrying with him cheer and hope to the deaf-mutes of this country. It is a strange sight to see a minister stand in the pulpit delivering his message to a congregation who look up at him with rapt attention, yet during the entire service no word or sound is heard. With fast flying fingers he brings the same message of Christian service as do the other more fortunate ministers. Certain it is that no speaker receives more rapt attention than does Rev. Austin Mann. Those people who understand the sign language state that his talks are vitally interesting and highly polished oratorical products. Mr. Mann was the first deaf-mute ordained west of the Alleghenies, and the second since apostolic days. On January 25, 1877, he was ordained to the ministry of the Episcopal church by Bishop Bedell at Cleveland, which city is now his headquarters. The only deaf-mute minister ordained before Mr. Mann died some years ago, so that now he is dean of the deaf-clergy of America, and the oldest deaf-mute clergyman in the world. In fact, there are but nine of these "silent ministers" in the world. Mr. Mann has founded "silent missions" in all the large cities of the middle west. In 1886 he held the first service according to the prayer book of the Episcopal church, on the Pacific coast, San Francisco. He has also spoken in New Orleans and the large eastern cities. Besides this, he has spoken in Canada and Great Britain, and has represented the church's mission to deaf-mutes at many conventions. During his ministry of 36 years he has traveled more than 1,000,000 miles to preach in the sign language to his afflicted parishioners. This "man of silence" was born at Pendleton, Ind., December 16, 1841. Up to the age of five years he could hear and speak perfectly, and was in normal health, but at this tender age scarlet fever destroyed his hearing and left him so lame that since that time he has suffered intense pain at every step. He was educated at the Indiana institution for deaf-mutes, in Indianapolis, and later was on the teaching staff of the Michigan Deaf-Mute school at Flint. His regular Sunday services—and he gets around to each as often as may be—include parishes in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Toledo, Youngstown and, of course, his home city. He serves smaller parishes on week days, going all the time. He has held more than 6,000 services, has officiated in 438 parishes, and his baptisms to date number 1,014. The list of his activities abroad includes London, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin and Cork, and every state and territory in America has had the benefit of his helpful presence. Small wonder the bishops of Ohio look upon this traveling missionary with regard and affection. Rev. A. S. Lloyd, secretary of the board of missions, say, of the work of this noble missionary to the deaf-mutes: "I am sure that Rev. Mr. Mann's work, apart from the astonishing devotion that has marked it, deserves everything in reason that he can ask of the church. I do not believe anybody can measure the influence that Funny Church is in Mill silent old man has exerted on men's lives, as they have seen him going up and down in the church, fulfilling his day's work. I have never come in contact with him without feeling ashamed that I should ever have objected to anything that befell me in the day's work; and I have no doubt that my feeling has been experienced by a multitude of others." CHAMPION TROUSER PATCHER. Seventeen-Year-Old Girl Defeats Veteran Seamstresses. Omaha, Neb.—"Champion Troussers Patcher of the United States" is the title won at the National Corn exposition here by Miss Selma Freedeen of Aurora, Neb. In competition with women and girls from 20 states she beat them all for neatness. In addition to the title the championship carries with it $50 in gold. Miss Freedeen is only 17 years old. There were 500 contestants in the patching class, but the young Nebraska girl romped home, an easy winner, over women who declared they had been patching trousers for 50 years, and certainly ought to know more about it than any 17-year-old girl in the country. But the judges decided that as they had worn trousers and ought to know how, they felt and looked, they were able to judge of the work—and gave the gold and the title to the girl. This is not the first prize for neat needlework she has won. Some time ago, in her home town, she carried off a prize as the nicest and neatest apron maker in the county. Here It Was That the Thumb in a Knothole Got Bitten. Dryville, Pa.—On Beaver creek, at the end of this town, is Berks county's historic mill—the only mill in the country that was ever turned over to a minister of the gospel to follow within its doors church work. It is over a century old and is only a stone's throw away from Christ Lutheran, or Mertz' church. In 1798 the second Mertz church was torn down to make room for a new edifice, and, there being no schoolhouse handy, the ministers of that time came to the old mill, then owned by the late Abraham Beiltrat, and conducted the catechetical classes until the third church was completed. Those meetings of a century ago were of rather solemn character and were conducted in a very careful and sacred way, but Berks county lads were then, as now, daring fellows, always full of mischief, and where a trick could be played if surely was, regardless of the minister's solemn face. Thus it happened in this very mill that the late Rev. Mr. Knoske a century ago conducted such a catechetical class. On one side of the room there was a board partition and one of the boards contained numerous knotholes. One of the members of the class had a habit of pushing his thumb through the knothole at every lecture, and his thumbnail raising a curious sound upon the outside of the board. Another male member on this occasion sneaked out of the room while Pastor Knoske was explaining how to avoid revenge, when the fellow on the outside bit into the thumb of the fellow on the inside of the knothole. The harder the boy pulled to release his thumb the harder the other fellow bit it; and by this time the inside fellow was so vindictive and resentful that he began to howl for pain, and Pastor Knoske had to stop his lecture and investigate. When he found out the cause he changed his argument at once and told the fellow with the in- AIL SIGNALS MADE. Ten Result of Inquiry Security Devices. An elaborate report ed to congress by the train control board e-commerce commis- 333 Official Knights & Da REPORT ON RAIL SIGNALS MADE. Congress is Given Result of Inquiry Into Safety Devices. Washington.—An elaborate report has been submitted to congress by the block signal and train control board of the interstate-commerce commission. During the last year the board examined the specifications of 371 devices; 248 of these being block signal, cab signal or automatic train-stopping devices. Only 12 of the devices were considered to possess sufficient merit to warrant the board in authorizing the inventors to establish a working installation with a view to conducting tests at the government expense In its investigation of the telegraph block system the board finds many of the block signal men in the United States are lacking in training and in experience. Here and there the board has found instances of the employment of men whose incompetency was manifest and in some cases there has been evidence of the excessive use of intoxicants. ances of the employe- se incompetency was some cases there has the excessive use of ation in Europe the the signal men, as a 717 C.

So far as the safety devices themselves are concerned, it is believed by the board that little is to be learned by the American railway managers from a study of European railways. Telephones recently have been extensively introduced in lieu of the telegraph in block signaling, and it has been found that they operate admirably. The board had received many complaints concerning the alleged suppression of important inventions by powerful corporations and associations to the detriment of the traveling public and to pecuniary harm to individuals.

Woman Who Received Over 1,000 Proposals Selects Affinity. Chippewa Falls, Wis.—Miss Frances Livingston of Boyd, who is believed to have received more proposals than any other woman in the world, has chosen Louis Struvans of Dorchester, Wis., for her husband. The county clerk has issued a marriage license to them. Miss Livingston on October 6, 1908, began to advertise for a husband. She stated that she was 36 years old and good looking, that she had a farm in the town of Colburn, and money in the bank at Boyd. She maintained that if it became a custom for women to advertise for husbands there would be greater chances for happiness in married life, because by this means a woman could get out of her narrow home village or city sphere and search the entire world for her affinity. Miss Livingston's announcement was printed in newspapers in all parts of the United States, and some of the Mexican and Canadian, and European papers also took it up. Consequently proposals came from men in every walk of life residing in the two continents. December 31 she had received about 1,000 proposals for marriage. She then proceeded to classify and eliminate the candidates, and finally decided upon Mr. Struvans, a prominent Dorchester man, as her affinity. jured thumb to take speedy revenge, and the outside fellow got a good licking then and there.

There is found on that reservation a peculiar stone which is called "turf" or "white ash," which is peculiar to the reservation. When first removed from the quarries it can be cut with an ordinary knife, but it hardens when it is exposed to the atmosphere. It is as light as wood and there is great demand for it in the vicinity of the reservation for building purposes. The secretory has asked congress to set aside three sections, or almost 2,000 acres, of land within the reservation, in which this stone is to be found for the use of the Indians. He thus expects to experiment with the stone itself, and at the same time ascertain whether it is possible to get the Indians to work in developing it and demonstrating its usefulness. The secretary thinks that if the stone possesses the quality attributed to it, there will soon be a general demand by builders for it, especially in the southwest where timber is scarce.

An omelet, made with finely chopped cold ham and chopped parsley, forms a dainty breakfast dish. Chop finely some pieces of cold ham and add a teapoonful of chopped parsley and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Well whisk the whites and yolks of two eggs separately, add the beaten yolks to the chopped ham and just before cooking the omelet, quickly stir in the whites previously beaten to a stiff broth. Put a good sized piece of butter into the omelet pan and when the butter has melted, pour in the omelet. Stir the omelet with a spoon or fork one way till it begins to thicken and when the under part is nicely browned, turn the omelet over in oval-shaped and serve immediately. BREAKFAST OR LUNCH DISH. Stuffed Kidneys a Welcome Addition to the Menu. Four or six small kidneys, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two ounces of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful chopped parsley, pepper and salt and a little lemon juice. Skin the kidneys and split them lengthwise, but not quite through. Leave enough to act as a sort of hinge. Rub them inside with melted butter, and broil them over a clear fire for ten minutes. Have ready the stuffing of crumbs, parsley and butter, well seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice. Dish the kidneys and put some of this mixture inside each. Fold them over, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve very hot. Brown Bread Pudding Take about half a leaf of bread and cut into slices, or use left-over pieces; spread each piece with butter and lay in a pan. Pour over this enough cold water to cover well and let soak about five minutes. In the meantime break one egg into your pudding pan and beat it well; add one-half cup brown sugar, one-half corn sirup, one-third teaspoon each of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg, powdered; then lightly squeeze out the water from the bread by handfuls, crumbling it into the other mixture. Be careful to get all the butter that may come off into the water. Mix well and bake one hour. Sauce: One quart water, butter size of a walnut, half cup vinegar, three-fourths cup sugar; let boil a few minutes and thicken with two tablespoons flour rubbed smooth in a little cold water. Take from stove and add one teaspoonful vanilla. To Clean Sponges. Soiled sponges can be quickly freshened by rubbing the juice of a lemon well into them then rinsing several times, first in hot water and then in cold. Too much care cannot be taken to keep a sponge absolutely fresh, as microbes are apt to congregate otherwise. An occasional sunbath is excellent and a thorough washing with ammonia water every few weeks should not be omitted. In using a sponge for a young child, or indeed for anyone, no matter how carefully it is supposed to be washed, it should be run through very hot water before using. Ham Fritters. Heat to boiling point one cupful of stock. Thicken with a tablespoonful each of flour and butter cooked together, and add to it one cupful of cold cooked chopped ham, one egg well beaten, and dry mustard and Worces terschire sauce to season. es. pPLEM! Se a suPPLEMENT TO . ‘gEARCHLIGHT wana oh oe ea Care of the Eyes. 1t Is always essential to remember that the eyes, like any other part of the body, get tired, and they require rest from time to time, Make ft a point to see that this rest is given them. It the seamstress or the business woman uses her eyes constantly for long hours, let her jealously guard the need- ed respite before any further close ap- plication be attempted. Bathing the eyes in lukewarm water fs very com. forting after a strain. It fs also well to bathe the eyes in lukewarm water as soon as possible after arising. Avoid close work with the eyes before break- fast. Be careful not to indulge the habit of getting the work too near the eyes, See that you keep an erect pos- ture and that the natural distance is preserved; if there be difficulty in pre- serving it, the eyes need attention. It fs wrong to use the eyes ina cross- light, and never use them in a fading light. Too many women sew or read in the twilight, postponing the lighting of the gas or lamp for one reason or another. Fora lamp, says the New York Weekly, the light from a kero- sene-burner, properly shaded, is the best. A green shade is preferable for work, Some of the decorated shades are an abomination so far as causing eyestrain is concerned. To read or write by the light of a gas-burner sev- eral feet away, as on a high chandelier, is worse than folly. If one must work by gas, the burner should be at a proper distance, with the flame pro tected, for the flicker is most trying. For an electric light, a ground-glass shade is recommended. The unpro- tected incandescent lamp is apt to work great damage. Nothing is so noteworthy in recent years as the extension of standards of morality and legal responsibility to cover activities that formerly were thought to be out of the sphere of the ordinary rules of criminal action. The time is not past for the current jibe, “He who steals a loaf of bread is sent to jail, and he who steals a million re- ceives honor,” is heard in the derision of the justice of the courts. But the force of such strictures is waning. This 4s the position taken by President Eliot before the civic forum of New York. ‘The president of Harvard rejoices in the spread of sentiment for arraigning the big sinner upon equal terms with the little one, but he is by no means optimistic as to the rate of progress that hes been made in securing con- crete results. There is now no question of the strength of public demand, says the Baltimore American, and the abili- ty of the people to enforce their de- mand, for the application of the laws in relation to trust evils with the same rigor that the statutes relating to dis- honesty in any form are enforced. Dr. Eliot has no reason to be pessimistic, Under modern conditions, capital and labor are as dependent on each other as the two wings of a bird; and both are as dependent on administra- tion as are the bird's wings on its brain. Justice demands that each of the three should receive its due share of the product. Industrial war ig as contrary to economic principles as to Christian principles, as unnecessary as {tis costly. ‘There are many instances of good relations between employers and employes continuing uninterrupted for a generation. But mutual confi- dence and good-will cannot exist where either is trying to get the advantage of the other. Generally speaking, says the Homiletic Review, capital and Ia- bor are each organized to secure the largest returns to itself. Their object ought to be to render the largest serv- ice to society in general and to each other in particular. In one word, in- dtstry needs to be Christianized. A correspondent of the Boston Her- ald writes, deploring the careless man- ners of some men who dine in public places, especially the man who places his hat on the table while he is wrestling into his top coat. She says: “I don't suppose you have to ‘feed’ in restaurants for the million” (heavens! why not?) “and are not distressed by. the association of ideas when a well- worn derby is put on the table cloth at which you are to sit a moment later. But I wish you would mention the impropriety of it in the Herald, where offenders will be sure to see it.” One would imagine reforms in this di- rection were not necessary, but I glad- ly start one for the new year, Either keep covered or hang up your hats on the floor if there's no other peg pro- vided. ES To entice the multitude Seattle res. taurant owners have pledged them- selves not to advance prices. That sounds reassuring, but before mort gaging his happy home to go thither & prudent man will send for the bill of fare to find out what the prices are at Present. Maybe the restaurant own- ers of Seattle would be ashathed to ad- vance them, Andrew Carnegie got lost in Wash ingten, but they never could lose hits in the steel business, EVERYTHING WAS FAVORABLE SORRY HE DIDN'T MOVE TO WEST- ERN CANADA BEFORE, varmng, Dut Western Canada had al- lurements, and he profited. He got a low-rate certificate from a Canadian Government agent, and then moved. What he says is interesting: “Ranfurly, Alberta, May 10°08. “J.N. Grieve, Esar., Spokane, Wash- ington.—Dcar Sir: After a dozen or more years of unsuccessful effort in the mercantile business}in Western Washington, in August, 1903, decided to come to Alberta with a gentleman who was shipping two cars live stock to Edmonton. I assisted this man with the stock over one hundred miles out in the Birch Lake Country, East of Edmonton. Indeed, how sur- prised, how favorably everything com. pared with my dream of what I want- ed to see in a new country. “Had never had any experience in farming, but I was immediately con- verted into a farmer. And from that moment I have prospered. Selecting a homestead near Birch Lake, I re- turned for wife and three small chil- dren and freighted out from Edmonton in March following year we shoveled a spot clear of snow and pitched our tent ex commenced operations, at that tim’ we had no neighbors. Four years have passed, the locality is well settled, two miles from railway sta- tion, with churches and schools, tele- phone and good road accommodations, “We are enjoying the privileges granted to any rural district in Washington. The Birch Lake Coun: try is no exception, this great trans- formation is rapidly going on in every district in Western Canada. “1 estimate that every quarter sec- tion in every direction is capable of producing a comfortable llving for a family of ten forever. After paying for two horses and a cow, had just $10.00 to go on. Did my first plough- ing in my life. I was very awkward in my work, but nature was glad and I was abundantly paid for my efforts, Our cattle has increased to about fifty. head, which was very profitable on ac- count of the abundance of forage. To farm was compelled to buy about four hundred dollars! worth of farm ma chinery on time, and the payments fell due last fall, and you may wonder how I expected to pay for them when we had such a bad year. "Twas a little bad for Western Canada or for a Mis- sourian. But is not 35 or 40 bushels ogts a pretty good yield per acre in many States? Then the price ot grain went out of sight, so when Ihad sold my crop I found I was able to make my payments nicely, besides we had lots of feed. No one has any busi- ness raising cattle without growing grain, or vice versa, As to the winters, did not feed my cattle, excepting the calves, a fork of hay until in March. Have found the winters much more pleasant than we did in Western Wash- ington, This is strange and hard to explain, but 'tis true, nevertheless, at 40 degrees below zero we have more comfort than you would at 20 degrees above, so still and dry—with bright, sunny days. My wife says that the only regret she has is that we did not come here ten years ago, as we would now certainly have been in a position to retire from hard work. Most wom- en soon become satisfied as neigh- bors begin to come round them. Have @8 acres in crop this year, besides two acres potatoes, which have always brought me a fair price. We find a ready market for everything we produce. To the Poor Man—Here is a chance to establish yourself, To the Rich Man—Here is a chance to buy land for $10.00 to $15.00 per acre which will produce more crops: ‘than a half dozen acres of your $50.00 4o $75.00 per acre land. And if not very much mistaken, this year will ‘grove an eye opener to those who are ‘& little sceptical. The trouble with me is that I have so much to say so favorable to Alberta 'tis hard to be grief, Respectfully, (Signed) “P, S$. AUSTIN.” AN IMPROVEMENT.

Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 27—Governor Gillett's message on the Japanese question, sent to the legislature yesterday, had the effect of crystallizing the sentiment for and against the bills by Drew and Johnson against which President Roosevelt invoked his power. The president informed the governor that it would be extremely dangerous for the legislature to enact any laws that might be construed by Japan as discriminatory. He wired Governor Gillett that another letter was on the way. This is expected to throw more light upon the situation as regards Japan and America. Grover L. Johnson, author of the bill segregating Japanese in residential districts at the option of municipalities, moved, when the measure came up for third reading, that it be made a special order for tomorrow. Thus two of the anti-Japanese measures will then be before the lower house, and the whole issue will likely be divided. The bill by A. N. Drew, denying aliens the right to hold land, was set for consideration tomorrow at the request of the author, after the governor had indicated that he desired such legislation held up. Speaker Staton said the assembly organization is against all of the bills objected to by the administration. The fight for them will come from Grove L. Johnson, the San Francisco delegate, and assemblymen who have a great number of union labor constituents. Stanton said: "The governor's message was conservative and should be heeded by the legislature. The federal authorities are more able to cope with the situation than we." MURDOCK CITES CASES OF MISUSE OF FUNDS Washington, Jan. 27.—"Under the control of the speaker of the house and the enormous power with which he is armed, can the individual member properly discharge his duties to the nation?" This query was proounded yesterday by Representative Murdock of Kansas in a speech in the house. Mr. Murdock proposed four concrete propositions. In one he cited a case in which, he said, a secret service agent, under a congressional commission, had been paid over $28 a day, which, he said, was an outrageous sum, and the second, in which for twenty-three years the president of the Michigan Central railroad had been pain $1,000 a year as a mail messenger to make up pay for transportation of mails on railroads, which Mr. Murdock said, could not be done under law. As a third instance he charged that an excess of payment of $35,000 a year had been made to the Eads bridge at St. Louis for mail charges. The fourth was the payment by the house of representatives itself of $500 a year for a trivial clerical duty. "And now," he said, "I challenge any member of this body, who is not a chairman of an appropriation committee, to secure a correction through congressional action in these four items I have cited, over the opposition of the speaker or without his consent, or that of any of the chairman." Many Involved in Muskogee Frauds Muskoxee, Okla., Jan. 27.—Semi-official reports from the federal grand jury last night were to the effect that three persons had been indicted on town lot fraud findings, and that from ten to twenty indictments have been found against each. Government officials, while declining to voubsafe any information in advance of the report of the grand jury, do not deny that indictments have been found. The jury had only been in session two hours yesterday afternoon in the hospital department of the federal jail until a report reached the outside to the effect that there had been indictments found in the first case investigated. The news spread like a prairie fire, and outside of a few close friends of the accused, and innocent purchasers of lots, who will lose all they have, general satisfaction was expressed. The sentiment here is that the growth of the city had been retarded by the clouds cast upon the titles of reality, and that the clearing away of the cloud will result in great benefit to the city, though unquestionably working great hardships in many cases. Elect Bristow Senator. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 27.—The house and senate here yesterday in separate session voted for United States senator to succeed Chaster I.

Bristow was given a decisive majority over Hugh Farrelly, Democrat, of Chanute, the only other candidate. Today the two houses in joint session will formally ratify yesterday's election.

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION The increased use of "Toris" for rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: "To one hea' pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist. ONE THING AT A TIME.

Too Much for His Mind. "My first impulses," wailed the Sad-Eyed Individual, "are invariably good. In fact, I think that I may venture, without fear of undue exaggeration, to say that they are very good. But I never act on them! I always act on second thoughts. This trait in my character has ruined my career, because my second thoughts are always bad! In fact, I think I may say, without fear of misrepresentation, that they're punk." "Well," suggested he who was listening, "why don't you wait until third thoughts, and act on them?" Mournfully, despondently, the Sad-Eyed Individual shook his head. "My dear sir," he groaned, "I never had three successive thoughts about anything in my life!" A Difference in Degree. "I just love cake," said Johnnie, feelingly, "It's awful nice." "You should not say 'love' cake," corrected his mother. "You should say 'like.' And do not say 'awful'—say 'very.' And say 'good' instead of 'nice.' Now see if you can repeat the sentence correctly." "I like cake," repeated Johnnie, "It's very good." "That's better." "I know, ma," complained Johnnie, "but it sounds just as if I was talkin' 'bout bread."—Everybody.

Slight Misunderstanding. Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles, aged five, dearly loves her grandma, who has been living with her and her parents. Recently grandma went to Seattle for a visit, and caught cold on the way. When she arrived there, she wrote back to Helen's parents that she had reached Seattle, but had had a hard fight with the grip. Helen wanted to hear what grandma had to say, and the letter was read to her. Soon afterward she saw one of her neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs. Smith, we've had a letter from grandma. She got to Seattle all right, but she had a terrible fight with her valise." $100 Reward. $100.
