"I do not know what the ultimate outcome of the race problem will be. I have prophesied concerning it several times, but my proyhecy failed because I did not put it far enough off. But one thing do know and that is that truth and righteous will triumph in the end?"
Thus spoke Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard university, Washington, before a representative audience in Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, Prof. Kelly Miller's subject was "Race Loyalty." The speaker, after giving a brief review of the causes which make the question of the Negro's citizenship a live issue before the American public, gave many reason why the race should take hope and encouragement from the progress which it has made. The question of equality, said the speaker, reduced itself to the success of individual effort What can I do as well or better than any one else? What reason have I to be satisfied that I am the equal of my fellow man in physical prowess, mental caliber or moral stamina? The idea should be to surpass hiw if possible and thus become his benefactor. Do not get it into your head that the Negro is the only race which pulls apart on many of the things by which he might benefit most. This is entirely the opposite. The differences of opinion, but when it comes to putting them in action he first considers the cost and will abandon his views rather than fall in that which is for the benefit of the cause for which he labors.
The Negro must learn this and the sooner the better for all concerned. Pessimism is dangerous. Get out, said the distinguished educator, from under the juniper tree of doubt, gloom and com-
plaining and do something. The race is strong as a unit, but it can be made powerful as a pack. Ten millions of people welded together by race loyalty, ambition perseverence and common sense cannot forever be ostracized and discriminated against without retaliation. We are advancing. We are becoming more and more proficient in every avenue of life. Education industry, economy and political enfranchisement are some of the fruits which must result from race loyalty, faith in God and confidence in ourselves.

A. J. ADAMS FOR COUNTY ATTORNY
A. J. Adams is again in the field for the office of Co. Attorney subject to the will of the republican voters of Sedgwick Co., having announced his candidacy some time ago. Ir will be remembered that he was the republican nominee for this office two years ago, having defeated his opponent at the primary by a vote of about two to one, but owing to the fact that he had for an opponent on the democratic ticket at that time an efficient and popular man who was running for his second term was defeated at the election together with half of the other republican candidates. Adams has the reputation of coming out in the open and squarely announcing what course he intends to pursue and then doing exactly what he promises. His friends declare that he would rather be defeated than to promise to enforce the law before his nomination and election then refuse to enforce it after his election. If he is elected, Sedgwick Co will have a Co., Attorney who will enforce all laws fairly, vigorously and impractically.
Mr. Adams' father was a vetran in the civil war, enlisting from the state of Illinois and served nearly the entire period of the war. Adams comes from a family of patriotic loyal republicans, and is groundid in the right principals, and if elected we believe we will be found fighting toe enemies of civic freedom as vigorously as did his father the enemies of political unity.
When Mr. Adams received the nomination for county attorney two years ago he was the president of the Young Men's Republican Club of Sedgwick Co. which has a membership of eighteen hundred, but after his nomination he resigned from the presidency of the club as he did not think it the proper thing to remain at the head of club and at the same time be a candidate.

As a candidate for the office of Probate Judge he solicits to kind offiees and the uoters of all the voters of this county, at the primary to be held August 2nd, 1910.

140 Years Of Age.
The last issue of the Nowata Star tells of an old colored woman in the Childers neighborhood who is nearly 140 years of age. The story was tolc the Star by George Boxler of Coody's Bluff, who claims to have met the old colored woman who has as her companions a daughter, granddaughter and a great granddaughter. In giving in her age to the old colored woman, who was seated on a bed, stated that she did not know her exact age, but certain it was that she was at least 15 years old during the "dark days" meaning the totalclipse of which history tells about. This being in the year 1780 it will be easily figured out that the old woman is nearly 140 of years of age. She has no hair on her head and looks as though she had seen trying days. She relates history which leads one to believe she understands the meaning of the "dark days" and one cannot help but believe her age has been reported correct. On a bed in tee same room her daughter was resting, and when she was asked her age she would reply that she was in her 80th year and that it was her mother who had just been intervieweed. The old lady's granddaughter who was present, gave in her age as 38 years, and the great-granddaughter was given in as 3 months old.
A great many newspapers have reported the ages of people who were in their 100th. year; but Rose Williams, the old colored woman named above, and who has resided at her present abode for some time, can give all them cards and spades and stands at the head of her class in number of years.

Clerk Diitrict Court
The candidacy of Prof. Chas, D. Fazell, for the Republican nominations for Clerk of the District Court of Sedgwick County is meeting with much favor all over the county. One thing is certain, the Republicans of this county will make no mistake in nominating Prof. Fazell, as he possesses every qualification for the office and if nominated and elected will make efficient, accommodating and painstaking officers ever elected to that office.
For four years Prof. Fazell held the position as Stenogropher of the District court of this county and in that office he made a record of which any man may well feel proud. Absolutely impartial a good, christian man and warm friend of humadity, Prof. Fazell is making a most remarkable and progressive campaign. To know the man is to be his friend It is unhesitatingly and willingly that we recommend Prof. Fazell to our many readers for their suffrage at the Primary Aug. 2d 1910—well knowing that no man will make an error who votes for Prof Fazell.

Important Affairs
Is The Primary In August To Name A Candidate
For Governor Wagstaff The Right Man
As the time glides away the people of Kansas are drawn closer and closer to the general primary day Aug. 2nd when each voter will have an opportunity to cast his vote for his choice for
candidates to be placed on the State and County tickets.
The selection of a candidate for governor is always a big important task for any party at any time. To the Republican party of Kansas this is a most important task this year. Every Republican voter should weigh well this matter and vote for the best interest of every citizen in the State, as well as his own. For that past two years Kansas has been under the governorship of man who has assumed a Czarine, dictator and selfish position and has demolished all semblance of a free government and has set up a Rulership most grievous.
Not only that, but in every thing, taxes and burden without number, the people of Kansas are indeed laboring under a hard task master who aims are wholly self, whose rules abilitary:
In the candidacy of Hon. Thos Wagstaff, the giant of Independ-Kansas, the Republican voters has a man around whom they can rally and know that if nominated and elected Governor of Kansas, he will put the interest of the people—tax payers, the citizens first- Wagstaff will not give Kansas institutions a kick send out of the State to get material for the head of our institutions who are at least, not superior, if not inferior to Kansas product. Wagstaff will not find it neccessary to discharge every colored emoloye of the state to "cut dowd" expense and then employ three other men to each colored man discharged. The colored voters of Kansas and the Republican party in Kansas has much at stake to spur them on to work and vote for the success of Thos. Wagstaff for Governor.
Going To Newton? June 26th. Arkansas Valley lodge No. 21, Princess Chapter No. 12 and Mt Olive Court No. 9, have accepted the invitation of the Masons of Newton and will go to that city on Sunday, June 26th. to take part in the big Masonic demonstration on that day. The Masons of Newton are doing some good work in that city and should be encouraged in their effort.

WILLIAM A.
RADFORD
Editor
THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM
Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he has without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 124 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
There is a feeling abroad that nothing is too good for the home. Even when a building project is undertaken with the idea of economizing at every point, the cost is always increased far above what was originally planned. This is not because of faulty estimates or trickery on the part of the building contractor, but because as the work progresses the owners think of many improvements and new features that they would like to add to make the home more complete or more imposing.
This tendency on the part of home builders is perfectly right. It is rarely that a family builds more than one home. With a well-constructed residence, lasting 40, 50 or 60 years, doing duty as the home not only of the parents and their children but also often handed down as a legacy to the grandchildren, a thousand dollars or so added to the original investment seems of little importance, and very often it is that last thousand dollars which makes the difference between a cheap, "pinched" house of few conveniences and scarcely large enough for the needs of the family, and the home that is large enough, equipped with all conveniences to make it permanently satisfying and of such an appearance that it will always be a credit to the neighborhood.
This trait of human nature which forces us to want and finally get the best when it comes to home building in spite of our previous resolutions for economy should be borne in mind before the original plans are drawn. In other words, make the appropriation large enough to start with so that all the conveniences may be incorporated in the original plans. It is the "extras" that cause the price of home building to run up so. If everything that will be finally required
THE HOME OF THE MAYOR
can be included in the original estimate and contract a substantial saving can be made; at the same time, the general appearance of the house is better. The accompanying design shows what can be done for $4,500. This is a graceful, dignified, substantial looking house of seven rooms. The width is 37 feet, and the depth, exclusive of the porch, is 31 feet six inches.

and the dining room to the right, gives an impression of bigness that is quite unusual in a house of this size. At the same time, there is no lack of homelike coziness in this living room with its fireplace nook. An unusual feature of this plan is the bedroom on the first floor. This is considered by many a very desirable feature, especially in case of sickness. Some would probably prefer to use this room as a library or study, a use for which it is very well adapted.
The day of large kitchens for city houses has passed. This kitchen, it will be noticed, is 9 feet 6 inches square, which is plenty large enough for the legitimate uses of a kitchen. There is a well lighted pantry with cases for supplies and utensils. The back entry contains the refrigerator. On the second floor there are three well-lighted bedrooms, each with large closet space.

WALL STREET'S OLD CHURCH
History of Rich Trinity Corporation Practically Is the History of the Country.
At the head of Wall street, surrounded by a century-old cemetery, where, sleeping peacefully in the very heart of the country's financial center, lie some of New York's most illustrious dead, stands Trinity church, a monument to the memory of the days when the metropolis of America was a colonial village and a reminder, amid the fever of trade, that "man
1
cannot live by bread alone." Overtopped by mammoth structures housing great banking firms, Trinity's spire still points to cerulean heights, as it has pointed since before the United States had an existence, its walls barriers against the complete triumph of commerce. The most valuable real estate between the two oceans remains the possession of the dead founders of the city and of their living successors who worship their fathers' God. A few blocks farther up Broadway, within sight of Trinity, stands another ancient church, like Trinity surrounded by graves in soil now worth its weight in gold. This is St. Paul's chapel, where George Washington made his devotions, one of the ten churches of Trinity parish, the most richly endowed religious corporation in America, for in addition to the golden sites on which its churches stand it possesses productive property of a taxable value of over $13,000,000, the whole income from which is devoted to religious, charitable and educational purposes. Trinity corporation is, in fact, one of the largest landowners in the country's commercial and financial capital—A. W. Ferrin, in Moody's Magazine.
Foxes Killing Hunting Dogs.
Hard pressed by two valuable hunting dogs belonging to James Dowling, a desperate pack of five foxes succeeded in killing their pursuers this afternoon and the thrilling encounter was witnessed at a distance by a number of people. Game and Fish association men state that numerous foxes as ravenous as wolves are destroying all the game inhabiting the woods and mountains hereabout.-Pottsville correspondence Philadelphia Record.

THE ROCK ROAD LAW UPHELD
THE ROCK ROAD LAW UPHELD
KANSAS SUPREME COURT SAYS IT IS CONSTITUTIONAL.
It Was Attacked on Ground That It Delegated Legislative Powers to County Commissioners.
Topeka, Kansas.—The Hodges Rock Road law, passed by the Kansas Legislature in 1909, has been declared constitutional by the Kansas supreme court.
The chief contention of H. A. Hill, who protested against the levying of the tax to build the road, was that the law granted legislative power to the petitioners for the road. The court held this contention was not sound.
Hill owned land in the district through which the proposed rock road from Olathe toward Kansas City was to run. He brought injunction proceedings to prevent the letting of the contract for building the road. A temporary injunction was granted, but on the final hearing the temporary injunction was dissolved, and the county allowed to go ahead with the work. But Hill appealed to the supreme court and tied up the proceedings again.
The court held that the legislature had the right to delegate discretionary legislative powers to local boards for local government. The courts said that the county commissioners had anple authority to fix the location of the road and its boundaries and the lines of the taxing district to pay for the road and to levy a tax of one-fourth of the cost of the road, to be spread as a general tax over the entire township through which the road runs.
CLEARED BY HIS FINGER PRINTS

Leavenworth, Kansas. — Dean G. Erhart, nephew by marriage of Mrs. Schultz who was murdered in her home Thursday morning, who was arrested at his home 14 miles west of town on the charge of killing his aunt has been released.
“This is not the man who murdered Mrs. Katherine Schultz,” said A. J. Renoe, the record expert at the federal penitentiary, as he finished comparing the finger prints of Dean G. Erhart with those left on the window glass by the slayer of Mrs. Schultz at her home Thursday morning. Mr. Renoe said this after he took careful prints of all Erhear's fingers and compared them by using a powerful magnifying glass with the prints left on the window by the murderer.

THIRTY-FIVE DEAD IN A FIRE
Bindery Girls and Linotype Operators
Perish When Printing Office
Burns at Montreal.
Montreal, Canada—Thirty-five persons, mostly bindery girls and linotype operators, are believed to have died in a fire which destroyed the building occupied by the Montreal Herald. The loss on the building will be about $250,000.
The flames were at first confined to the upper floors of the building and although all available fire apparatus was used it was impossible to check the flames. The fire early weakened the supports under a large water tank on the roof of the building and it fell through to the basement, carrying many persons with it.
The crowd outside the building could hear the shiaks of the girls and men trapped inside the building, but nothing could be done for them. Inspector McMahon of the police department called upon those around him to organize a rescue party, but a tremendous wall of flames rising from the bosement made it impossible to enter the building.
All of the members of the editorial department escaped uninjured.

According to the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, New York state leads in the number of beds for consumptives provided up to May 1, with 5,476 beds; Massachusetts is second, with 2,403 beds; Pennsylvania third, with 2347 beds; Colorado fourth, with 1,469 beds, and New Mexico fifth, with 1,104 beds. As yet, not one state in the country has made adequate provision for its consumptives. New York has set itself the task of having "No uncared-for Tuberculosis in 1915," and several cities in other parts of the country have adopted similar programs. The national association says that tuberculosis will not be stamped out until all cases of this disease are cared for either in their homes or in institutions. With this end in view, efforts will be made to increase the number of hospital beds in this country to at least 35,000 by May 1, 1911.
Docile Cheese.
Andrew Carnegie, while eating with appetite and courage last month the dishes cooked by the young girls of the Margaret Morrison school in Pittsburg, said:
"I have no fear before these experimental dishes. He who has eaten in France learns to eat boldly.
"Think of the French cheeses alone!
"Why, one afternoon in a restaurant in the Boulevard des Italiens, I heard a guest shout angrily:
"Walter, look here, this cheese is walking all over the table."
"Ah, have no fear, monsieur. It won't escape," the waiter replied. "If it goes too far, just call "Jules, Jules!" It always answers to its name."
Invariably.
"When I looked over my malf," said one young author, "there was nothing in it excepting bills or rejected manuscripts."
"I know," replied the other; "it's always either something due or nothing doing."
A pessimist believes it a waste of time to argue with the iceman, as he's bound to have his own weigh.
A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed In This Case.
It is hard to convince some people that coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one.
But the doctor knows. His wide experience has proven to him that to some systems, coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health.
Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause of constipation, stomach and nervous trouble.
"I have been a coffee drinker all my life. I am now 42 years old and when taken sick two years ago with nervous prostration, the doctor said that my nervous system was broken down and that I would have to give up coffee.
"I got so weak and shaky I could not work, and reading your advertisement of Postum, I asked my grocer it he had any of it. He said: 'Yes, and that he used it in his family, and it was all it claimed to be.
"So I quit coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily and found in about two weeks' time I could sleep soundly at night and get up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months I began to gain flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum, and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age.
"I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were great coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before."

The WOOL INDUSTRY in THE AMERICAS
AN'S first clothing was an animal pelt, and without doubt a sheep pelt. It may be suggested that the fig leaf antedates the sheepskin as an article of wear. This may be true, but the fig leaf can be considered only as a temporary expedient which was discarded with the first cool winds which swept
M
over the Mesopotamian lowlands. The sheep pelt or the wool plucked or sheared from it was the principal clothing of man from before the dawn of history down almost to the present day. Now cloth made from vegetable fibers, principally cotton, has a more extended use than wool. But this does not mean that cotton and linen are displacing wool as an article of human wear. Far from it; the use of wool constantly advances by enormous urides, and the even greater advance in the use of cotton is due in no small measure to the fact that the supply of wool can not meet the demand for clothing. Mankind must perforce wear the vegetable fibers or go unclothed. The same fact is true of the product of the silkworm; the supply can never equal the demand. Cotton, of course, has compelled for itself a new field, the clothing of the unclothed races of the earth. In addition it has supplied new articles of clothing to civilized man, whose ancestors were but little else than wool. The European or American of today does not wear less wool, in truth he wears more, but he also wears more articles of clothing, and these, for the most part, are cotton. There is a close parallel all over the world between the cattle and the sheep industry, but there are some important differences as well.
It has rarely happened and can scarcely happen again that cattle will anywhere be raised primarily for their horns and hides, but the raising of sheep for their wool is one of the well-recognized steps in the industry. It is the fact that this can be done so as to pay a handsome profit that built up the great sheep industries in the western part of the United States, in Australia and New Zealand, in South Africa, and now is building up a greater industry in South America. Free or very cheap pasturage is the fundamental condition for this kind of sheep raising. Were it not for these new lands, where the cost of feeding the sheep is nominal, the price of wool would advance to a point where wool clothing would be beyond the means of any except the very rich. Sheep raising is a profitable industry in England.
Land, or Germany, or the eastern half of the United States, not because of wool, but because of mutton. The fleece is a by-product, just as the hide of the steer or of the dairy cow is a by-product; the principal value of the animal is its flesh. In the new sheep centers of South America the principal value of the animal is its wool, and fortunes were made from the flocks even when not a pound of mutton was exported or sold.
Wool, as the word is used in commerce, is not a product alone of the sheep. It may be wool, although it comes from the backs of several varieties of goats, from the camel, the alpaca, the guanaco, the vicuna, or the llama, as well as from the sheep. It is the thing itself and not the zoological classification of the animal which determines whether the fiber is wool, hair, or fur. Since the classification is commercial and not scientific the line between these three classes is necessarily vague and indistinct. For instance, the under covering of the camel may be camel's wool or camel's hair, and so we have alpaca hair or alpaca wool. From the sheep there are many varieties of wool, long and short, straight and curly, coarse and fine, and, what is generally more important than any of these, varieties in the serrations or imbrications appearing on the surface of the fibers.
It is important in considering wool as a commercial commodity to keep in mind the three different kinds of cloth made therefrom. These are commercially known in English as felts, woolens, and worsteds. The processes in making these three kinds of cloth are so different as to make them entirely different industries, employing entirely different machinery. Felt is made from the wool or fur in mass, the cloth holding because of the lock clutch of the imbricated fiber. Woolens and worsteds are spun from threads, but the threads in the two kinds of cloth are prepared in a different manner, and the weaving is entirely unlike. Formerly, entirely different kinds of wools were used for making the two kinds of cloths, or rather it is more accurate to say that only certain kinds of wools could be used in making worsteds. Almost any kind of wool could be used for making woolens, although some were much more suitable than others, and, as a rule, those least suitable for woolens were best suitable for worsteds. In effect, therefore, certain wools were used for woolens and certain other wools for worsteds. With the improved modern machinery used in worsted mills these limitations are fading away, so that worsteds can now be made from wools formerly not used for this purpose.
The wool used for making woolens is carded; that for worsteds is combed. The effect of these two processes is that in the first the wool fibers are crossed and interlocked as much as possible, and in the second they are drawn out

of the because just as w is a to be parallel, as in cotton or linen. Woolen yarns, although hard-spun, look and feel light and fluffy. Worsted yarns appear finer and stronger.
The weaving of the two kinds of cloth is not unlike, at least not to the unskilled observer, except in one particular, and this is a most important one—woolens are fulled and worsteds are not. The fulling of the cloth, accomplished by heat, moisture and pressure, brings together and interlocks, by means of the imbrication of the fiber, the several threads entering into the cloth into a more or less felted whole. The cloth shrinks, sometimes as much as one-half, and in such material, as for instance the so-called doeskins and broadcloths, it appears and feels like felt.
It is this process of semifelting the cloth, made possible by the peculiar lie of the fibers in the yarn, that distinguishes woolens from worsteds. Formerly, entirely different classes of wool were used in the two cloths—for woolens, the short-staple, highly imbricated carding wool, megino for example; and for the worsteds the long-staple, slightly imbricated or smooth combing wools. By modern machinery it is possible now to use the short-staple wools in making worsteds.
In practise the raw wool, after being washed and scoured, is subjected to a series of combing processes, in each of which the particular fibers suitable for a certain purpose are extracted. The residuum after each combing is called a waste, although its value per pound may have been augmented by the extraction of the lower-priced fibers.
According to United States census reports, manufactures of wool rank tenth in the list of American industries. The total capital invested was $310,179,749 and with an output valued at $296,990,484 a year. In the classification adopted the manufacture of clothing is not included. Since 1900 there has been an enormous increase in the wool manufacturing industry, principally in the manufacture of worsteds. At the same census the number of sheep in the United States was 39,852,967. Since then there has been a 43 per cent. increase in the number of sheep, as appears by a report issued by the census office on January 1, 1910, which shows 57,216,000 sheep in the country at the present time. These are valued at an average of $4.08, giving a total value of $233,644,000. By the census of 1900 the country produces 276,567,584 pounds of sheep's wool and 961,328 pounds of mohair and goat hair. Estimating the same average clip of wool as at that time, the production of the country at the present should be about 400,000,000 pounds of wool. In reality it should be greater, on account of the improvement in sheep breeding.
There are several hundred varieties of sheep both in the domestic and in the wild breeds. The former have been under the domelion of man since before the dawn of his

be classed under two heads—the Spanish and the British breeds. The Spanish breed is the Merino, which has modified more or less the sheep of all Europe, including the British islands, North and South America, South Africa and Australia. The Merino has a very characteristic appearance, which easily distinguishes him from other breeds. He has a thick covering of wool over the forehead and cheeks, his horns are large, ponderous and convoluted laterally. The wool is long, soft, and twisted into silky looking spiral ringlets. The wool fibers are highly imbricated and possess in the highest degree fine felting qualities. The origin of the Spanish Merino is not very well known, but the breed is known to have as a foundation the original breed introduced into the Peninsula by the Romans upon which was crossed certain English sheep, most probably the Leicester or Lincoln sheep.
Up to the time of the Napoleonic wars, the position of Spain in the wool trade was at the head. Spanish wool went all over the civilized world and enjoyed a reputation for being the best. However, the peninsular wars, with the attendant evils following thereon, had a most disastrous effect on the wool trade of Spain and produced a depreciation in its quality and a consequent loss in exportation for the wool of the famous breed.
Spanish Merinos were taken to Hungary in 1775 and to France one year later—the most famous French Merino is the Rambouillet. Spanish Merinos were first brought to Rambouillet by Daubenton in 1782, and from this first importation the breed was developed. It is now known all over the world as one of the best of the Merino strains. Spanish Merinos were brought to the United States in the early colonial days, but the breed was lost in a promiscuous crossing with the earlier imported British breeds. The first Spanish Merinos whose descendants have been kept pure were brought to the United States in 1802.
Merinos were taken to the Spanish-American colonies almost with the first colonists, and are the foundation and almost the sole foundation of the so-called native breeds in all the American Latin republics, but the breed was not kept up, and consequently decayed even more rapidly than subsequently in Spain following the Napoleonic wars.
While Spain has the honor of having produced the most valuable single breed of sheep, bred for wool peculiarly suitable for clothing, the British islands have produced the greatest number of valuable breeds of sheep bred for wool suitable for all purposes, and even for the particular purpose for which Merino wool is best suited, but little inferior thereto. Of course in the mutton breeds Great Britain has always stood without a rival, but also in its long-wool breeds it is without rival in wool of this character. The British breeds are classified as long wool, short wool and mountain

tory. Whether these are derived from any one of the existing wild species, or from the crossing of several or from some now extinct species is a matter of conjecture even to scientists. Variations in the different domestic breeds are very great and in no other particular greater than in the wool. Domestic sheep, not considering the Aslatic breeds, may

breeds. The long-wool breeds are the Leicester, Border Leicester, Cotswold, Lincoln, Kentish, Devon Longwool, South Devon, Wensleydale, and Roscommon.
The short-wool breeds—this class includes among others the famous mutton breeds—are the Oxford Down, Southdown, Shropshire, Hampshire Down, Suffolk, Ryeland, Somerset, and Dorset Horned.
The mountain breeds are the Cheviot, Blackfaced Mountain, Herdwick, Lonk, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Welsh Mountain, and Limestone.
All of these breeds are English except the Border Leicester, Cheviot, and Blackfaced, which are Scotch, the Welsh which belongs to Wales, and the Roscommon to Ireland.
The Leicester from an historical standpoint is the most important of the long-wool English sheep, and it was the great reputation of the wool of this breed that gave England in the past its prominent position as a wool-producing country. Most important of all, it is the Leicester blood which is the foundation of many of the other best English breeds and as such has extended itself over all the world. The wool is fine, white, and long-stapled.
The Lincoln is the largest and heaviest fleeced sheep. Many of the fleeces will weigh from 18 to 20 pounds, with a staple 20 inches in length. The Lincoln resembles the Cotswold, but has a less-pronounced tuft on the forehead and the wool is curled closer.
The wool of these sheep has a fine glistening appearance which has earned for it the name of "luster wool."
The Southdowns, Shropshire, Hampshire Downs, Oxford Downs, and Dorsets are among the better-known short-wool sheep. The Dorset staple is the shortest.
The Cheviot is the best known among the mountain breeds. The Cheviot is sometimes called a middle-wool sheep.
The French beeds best known are the Choletiae, which carry a good fleece, the Larzac, a short, thick-set animal with long-fibered but rather scanty wool, the Berrichome du Crevan, better known for its heavy milking qualities than for wool, and the Manchamp sheep, known as La Chamois, which produces a most excellent long and fine-fibered combing wool.
In addition to the domestic sheep introduced into America by the English, Spanish and Portuguese settlers, South America possesses a group of wool-bearing animals which are native to the country. This group, the auchenia, is one of the two branches into which the existing genera of the family of the camelidae is divided. The other branch is the camel (camelus) of the Old World.
Most authorities agree in dividing the auchenia into four species, the guanaco, the vicuna, the lama, and the alpaca. The two last named are not known in the wild state, but were domesticated by the native Indians long prior to the coming of the Spaniards to South America. There is no reason to doubt that the guanaco and the vicuna might also be brought under subsection.
The vlcuna is a smaller animal, about the size of the fallow deer. It is found in the high mountains of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, seldom descending below 13,000 feet. Although it may be tamed, it is to all intents and purposes a wild animal. It yields an exceedingly fine and delicate wool of a reddish-yellow color, which is worth about twice as much as alpaca.
The alpaca was the wool-producing animal of the Incas, as it is yet of most of the people of the Andes and the west coast of South America. It is found principally in Peru and Bolivia, but does not thrive below about 5,000 feet.
All of the South American countries are producers of wool from the domestic sheep, and most of them are exporters to a greater or less degree; but the recent development of the sheep industry in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile lends a particular interest to South America as a purveyor of this one of the world's staple articles of trade.
The annual wool clip of Argentina for the season of 1849-50 was 8,000,000 kilograms, 17,600,000 pounds. This was a respectable showing for the time and gave Argentina a position of importance in the wool trade. The wool, however, was a coarse grade, most of it what is known to the trade as Cordova, used by worsted spinners for carpet yarns. In 50 years the industry had increased thirtyfold so that the clip of the year 1899-1900 was 239,000,000 kilograms>-525,800,000 pounds. This represented about one-fourth of the world's production. The quality of the wool meanwhile had improved.
A recent census of the country (1908) shows 67,211,754 sheep. It is almost impossible for the mind to grasp these figures, but some idea of their significance can be gained when it is stated that "if the animals were assembled in a gigantic drove, 12 abreast, they would reach across the continent from New York to San Francisco." This places Argentina second to Australia, which leads the world with over 83,100,000, the United States third, with about 56,000,000, and England fourth, with about 35,000,000.
The export of wool from Argentina for the year 1908 amounted to 386,183,000 pounds.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
Complacent Smoker Had No Use for
the Bands, So What Was the
Difference.
There were four of them on the
rear platform of a car, thrown
together, so to speak, by a rough track.
All were smoking. An odor, not of
cigars, detracted somewhat from
interest in the general conversation.
The odor became pronounced. One of the quartette cast about for a reason. He saw one of his companions complacently smoking a cigar that had burned down past the flaring red band that girdled it. There remained no question of the source of the odor. "Excuse me," the discoverer said to the complacent one, "your cigar band is burning." "That's all right, old man," the complacent one replied, "I'm not saving them."
Arused Sporting Instinct.
An Irish policeman who was also something of a sportsman, had been posted on a road near Dublin to catch the sorgching motorist. Presently one came along at 20 miles an hour, and the policeman saw it pass without a sign. Next came a large motor traveling at 40 miles an hour, and the eyes of the guardian of the public brightened. And then one passed at the rate of a mile a minute. "Begorrah," said Pat, slapping his thigh, "that's the best of the lot."
Spoiling it.
"I've noticed that all unusually tall women are graceful."
"Thank you, Mr. Feathertop."
"Why, Miss Flossie—aw—you're not unusually tall, you know."
Nothing makes us richer that does not make us more thankful.

Hard To Understand
We are at a loss to understand
how some colored parents can
figure out the consistency ofsend-
ing their children to school to

which they hope that these child

andat the same time those same
parents can never see the needed
of giving the colored men and

their patronage, Of course, they
may have some secret process
by which they may be able to
corrallthe patronage for their

then they may be justified and

Faculous cure of hopeless invalids
Inade by Professor Samuels, of Wichi-
ta, Kas, have been of such a startling
pharacter that they have aroused wide-
ee wonder, admiration and curios-
ity. Time and again he has taken
Bec pronounced hopelessly incurable
yy the medical profession and restored
the patients to health in a most phe-
hhomenal manner.
There is considerable mystery at:
tached to Professor Samue. method
bf accomplishing these marvels, and {t
is known that he does not use the
drastic drugs and medicines that doc-
tors depend upon. And it is a matter
of proof that with the system this
@iscovery gives him, he has made the
blind see and the lame walk. He has
revived the flickering spark of life in
bodies on the very verge of the grave,
aud restored to health men and wom-
en given up to die by doctors and
wpecialists.
Professor Samuels came Into note
Reveral years ago by his almost mirac-
ulous cure of “Blind Joe,” of Topekrs,
Kas., who was well known in that city,
having sold peanuts and popcorn on
the streets there for years. He had
been blind for ten years and had ex-
hausted all the means in his power to
be cured, but had given up In despair
until he fell into the hands of Pro-
fessor Samuels, who effected a cure.
Professor Samuels has been arrest-
ed many times for practicing his sys-
tem without having a diploma, On be-
ing interviewed a few dsys ago rela-
tive to his many arresis, Professor
Bamuels said:
“Yes, 1 have been arrested many
times for practicing without a leense,
but in no case have J been convicted.
Naturally, the medical profession are
jealous of my success, and are fight-
ing me most of the time, but how are
they going to convict me? Do you
suppose any jury, when my patients
come into court, as they did at Alva,
Okla, Newkirk, Okla,, Ponce City,
Okla. and other towns, and tell how
they have been cured of all manner of
trouble, do you suppose tor a minute
that any jury bearing these people
and seeing with (heir own eyes what
has been accomplished, is going to
convict me? My trial at Alva was be-
fore a very able judge, Jesse J. Dunn,
who is now chief justice of the state
of Oklahoma; after hearing the evi-
dence for and against me I was ac-
quitted. At Newkirk I was tried be-
fore Judge Hausley, a very able judge.
Judge Brown, a noted lawyer, was the
prosecuting attorney, and fought the
case very hard, but I was acquitted,
These persceutions were brought be-
arse 1 have no Hcense. Being the
originator and only practitioner of my
system of healing, how am I to have
® diploma? 1 can’t issue it to myself,
and the medical fraternity, trotting
along in the same harness for half a
century, too blind to accept my dis-
covery, which accomplishes actual re-
aults, make it impossible for me to
procure a license as a representative
of any of the recognized schools. So
‘what am I to do but to proceed in my
own way and accomplish results that
astound huinanity?”
‘The professor here showed a re-
print from the court records showing
the proof of his assertions that the
court had not convicted him.
Professor Samuels is a remarkable
man. Bright, alert, progressive and
although 6), he is straight and active
and gives one the impression that he
fs much younger. He talks with such
an earnest conviction and enthusiasm
of his work that the listener must be-
Meve him and believe in his work.
“What Is the nature of your treat-
ment?” was the next question.
“That is a secret that has taken
many years of my life to accomplish.
. I can only say that my results are ob-
tained treating diseases by dropping
a colorless liquid, which I prepare,
into the eye. Strange as it may seem,
go-called incurable cakes of con-
eumption, Bright's disease, dropsy, epl-
leptic fits, nervous prostration ' are
treated In this appareutly miraculous
way. My system is based absolutely
on gctentific principles. The eye is
the window of the soul. I have
evolved a system of treating other
Dodily ills based on the relation of
the eye to the system as a whole.
‘This may seem strange, but here are
the proots.”
“Thereupon the professor placed be-
fore his interviewer his “Message of
Facts,” affidavits and letters in great
numbers, tany of them from respon-
sible and well-known people, all bear-
ing on his statements.
‘This proved that Mr. Frank Hoff,
mow in business at 249 North Main
atreet, Wichita, Kas., had been given
up to dle of consumption. He had been
treated by the greatest specialists in
Brooklyn, N. Y. It was some seven
years ago and when he had tried
‘everything else without avail, that he
came to Professor Samuels and was
cured. He fs a large, strong man and
‘weighs 240 pounds now, and when
called upon by the interviewer, stated
that he wed his life to Professor
‘Samuels. 4
‘Mrs, Minnie B. Tarver, living at Hes-
terville, Miss, had what was pro
nounced to bea very bad case of tu-
Derculosis. A large number of her
family had died from the same dis-
ease, among them her mother, two
aisters, one brother ‘and one brother-
intaw. She had practically given up
‘hopes when heating of Professor Sam-
uels and began. taking his treatment.
Se ee calle eae
Samuels restored his eyesight after
three weeks’ treatment. He goes
everywhere unattended and transacts
his business and writes almost as well
as he ever did in his life. After be-
ing entirely deaf in one ear for twenty
years, he can hear the tick of a watch,
Miss Ida Garrison, who resides at
963 Roberts avenue, Wichita, Kas.,
was said to be very low with consump-
tion by leading physicians. She tried
all sorts of climate and very best doc-
tors on ‘lung trouble and was pro-
nounced incurable by all. Miss Gar-
rison took my treatment about seven
years ago and she treated about nine
months and is still in good health.
Mrs. Josie Townsend of Geary,
Okla., writes: “I feel that I owe you
my life, for when I commenced treat-
ment with you a few months ago I
“had been given up to die—I had been
‘sick for twenty-four years and had
“been treated by some of the best doc-
tors In Kansas and Oklahoma, but
they could do me no good. When you
"commenced to treat me I had one large
sore on my leg which was sore to the
bone, and several small sores around
it, and just the least bit of work would
burst a vein and I would almost bleed
to death. I was all bloated up with
aropsy amd could not sleep; would al-
most smother at times. Everyone
claimed I could not live and I thought
so myself, as I could hardly walk
around the house. My feet-and hands
| were almost paralyzed and are now so
| that I can use them again, and God
knows I thank you more than I can
tell. Professor youare a wonder. All
‘the people here who know me, just
look at me and say: ‘Is {t possible
‘that this can be yoit and all the medi-
cine you used was the drops in your
eyes?”
Mr. P. R, Robey, who resides at 309
North Walnut street, Wichita, Kas.,
brought his mother, Mrs. P. Spidal, to
Wichita to be treated by Professor
Samuels. She was unable to move
hand or foot; she was even unable to
speak. Her case was paralysis. Physi-
clans had given her up and consid-
ered her case hopeless. She was taken
in an ambulance to the home of her
daughter. After using Professor Sam-
'uels’ treatment a few months she was
restored to health.
|. Mr. Harry Evans, a wholesale lum-
berman, located at 307 Winne build-
ing, Wichita, Kas., had what the best
physicians called Bright's disease,
The doctors could not give him any
hope and he continued to get worse.
He was also losing his eyesight from
what was sald to be paralysis of the
optic nerve. He took treatment from
Professor Samuels and began to im-
prove from the very start. His eye-
sight came back, and all symptoms
of Bright's disease left. After taking
Professor Samuels’ treatment he was.
examined by leading physicians, and
they stated he had not the slightest
trace of Bright's disease.
_ Mr. Evans is known all over the
country, a leading business man
whose word can be relied upon and
he would be glad to write or tell
anyone of his experience with Profes-
sor Samuels.
‘The young son of W. W. Lyon, lo-
cated at Augusta, Kas., had been suf-
fering for a long time with a severe
ease of asthma. He was treated by
Prof. Samuels, and is now in good
health. In a recent letter, Mr. Lyon
writes: “It was the best investment
I ever made.”
Mary A. Stout, who lives at Burling-
ton, Kas., had what was pronounced
_to be a bad case of diabetes. This dis-
ease Is pronounced incurable by regu-
lar practitioners. This case was treat-
ed by Professor Samuels. In a recent
letter to Professor Samuels, she
|writes: “I feel well, and have no
‘marks of diabetes. May God's rich-
est blessing ever be with you.”
| “Is {t necessary for your patients to
come to see you to be treated?” was
‘asked. “No, my treatment can be sent
by mail, Many of my patients come
to see me, but it is not always neces-
‘sary. My treatment is cent to hun-
dreds, atid, in fact, T am as successful
\in treating that way as though the pa-
| tients were right here. To people from
|a distance who write me, an Informa-
tion blank is sent to fill out: In this
way I am enabled to send them the
treatment with full directions for its
use.”
“I should think with your ability to
cure you would be in a position to de-
mand big money from your patients,”
remarked the inte:vlewer. “No, 1 do
not do that now. My charges,’ when
the patients used to cal! on me in per
son, used to be pretty high. I am get-
ting old, and I feel that it is my duty
in my last years to place my treat-
ment in the hands of the poor as well
as the rich. I believe that I owe a
duty to mankind, and that as many
people as possible, no matter what
race or nationality, nor where located,
should be benefited by my life's work.
On this account, I have reduced my
charges so they’ are -within reach of
“My greatest alm in life from now
‘on will be to relieve the ills of hu-
manity, and when death shal! claim
me, I have arranged so that my secret
will not die with me, but will be
known, so that men in all ages to
come will reap the reward of my life's
work.”

Economical Ideas. ate i ——————aee
To prepare bredd crumbs, dry the
bread in the oven and grind through
the meat chopper, sift and put away
in glass cans.
In washing coarse clothes, soft soap
fs best, as it goes farther than bard
soap.
For those who have plenty of hon:
ey, perhaps they would like to try the
honey vinegar.
Add a pound and a half of strained
honey to a gallon of water. Keep in
a warm place for a few months, and
a good vinegar will be the result.
Add chopped chives to cream cheese
‘and let stand for a day to ripen.
Bread and Butter Pudding.
Cut a dozen slices of bread one-half
inch thick, remove the crust and
spread generously with butter. Ar
range the slices in a buttered baking
dish, buttered side down. Parboil one
cup of raisins, shred them and sprin-
kle between the layers of bread. Beat
three eggs slightly, add two-thirds of
a cup of sugar, a speck of salt and one
quart of milk. Strain and pour over
the bread. Let stand one-half hour
Bake one hour in a moderate oven,
covered the first half hour, then
brown. Serve with a hard sauce.
Pie Gite af Bish:
A nice way to utilize pieces of
boiled or baked mackerel or indeed
any left over fish is to free them from
bits of bone and skin, and mince fine-
ly. Make a cream sauce, season with
onion juice, pepper and salt; add the
fish, piping hot, on toast or in mashed
potato shells; sprinile with parsley
and serve very hot.
Generalities,
Neyer wash meat, except fowls.
They should be scrubbed in soda wa-
ter and then dricd; but meat needs
but a simple wiping with a damp cloth
to remove bits of bone, hair and for-
eign matter.
Butter, if added In bits to sauces,
prevents the ofly appearance which is
80 objectionable.

for the young housekeepers to remem:

deeply or they will “bleed” in cooking
and you lose the flavor.
Aonatnaus ta Crastades.
Remove the centers from small rolls,
fry them in deep fat, or butter well
and bake until brown in the oven. Fill
with asparagus cut in small pieces,
Served in white sauce.
Another way is to make the small
boxes from thick slices of bread, fry
or bake after buttering well, then dip
in egg white and chopped parsley to
make a fringe on the rim. Fill and
serve.
When asparagus Is very scarce and
one has very little, {t may be used cut
up and cooked tender and served in
white sauce, as a sauce for a plain
omelet. Such a dish is not only at-
tractive, but very nourishing as a

As each season advances there are

A Week With the Housekeeper.
Circumstances alter household ar
rangements in such a degree that it 1s
almost an impossible thing to frame
any rules by which housework may be
done skilfully without many moditica
tons.
The great majority of women prefer
to haye washday on “blue Monday’
instead of ‘Tuesday.
‘Those who have cut “blue Monday’
out of the calendar prefer to use that
day for looking over the linen, mend
ing the places that might grow larger
in the Washing, removing stains and
getting ready for wash day or Tues
day. In many homes especially, when
there are children or many “grows
ups,” the house needs a good deal of
settling and arranging after a“day of
rest with all at home, so Monday is a
full day, which {f well planned makes
an easy running week. =
On Wednesday the ironing may bs
done, with something cooked which
takes long, slow cooking and baking,
like brown bread, beans or stews and
soups. Thursday the sweeping and
dusting is done upstairs and Friday
downstairs, then Saturday is the gen:
eral baking and cleaning day. This
cleaning need not be such a task if a
little be done each day. ‘The same
thing may be said of silver. Polish a
few pieces when washing the silver
and the process does not seem half se
hard or long, Window washing may
be done one or two at a time and the
house always kept neat and tidy, with

Spring Dishes.
Asparagus {s such a favorite vege
table that it should be often on the
‘table, as it is now grown so largély in
our home markets, one may always
find it in abundance and after the
southern and hothouse variety have
opened the season, the price is much
lower.
Asparagus soup 18 most delicious.
Cook a pint of asparagus in soup stock
made from veal, Tyb through a sieve
and add two tablespoonfuls of butter
cooked with two tablespoonfuls of
flour. A slice of onion with salt and
pepper are used for the seasoning and
the asparagus tips are saved to be
added to the soup. Two cups of hot
milk are added just before serving.
Trim the stalks to remove the tough
portion, tle them in bundles and
stand in a kettle of boiling water to
cook. Many like the stalks served
with melted butter, and are very nice

A delicious dessert may be made by

The Rude Visitor.
There is a story about the secretary
of a golf club who was a man of di-
minutive stature. It was summer time,
and the grass had been allowed to
grow rather long. The secretary was
playing in front of a visitor who was
a very long driver, and kept dropping
his ball in the neighborhood of the
secretary all the way round. At last
the little man could stand it no longer
and walked back and remonstrated
with the visitor on his conduct, but
the only reply he got was, “If you
would cut the grass, one might be
able to see you.”

SAVED OLD LADY’S HAIR
“My mother used to have a very bad
tumor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
tore and her hair nearly all fell out
fn spite of what they both did. One
‘aay ber niece came in and they were
ipesking of how her hair was falling
at and the doctors did {t no good.
She says, ‘Aunt, why don't you try
Cutleura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
nent?” Mother did and they helped
er, In six months’ time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing, To-
,{ay she feels much in debt to Cutl-
‘ura Soap and Ointment for the fine
tead of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four,
"My own case was an eczema in my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would flee to my
mother’s friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment, I did for four or
fe winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any one’s. Ellsworth Dun-

‘The HONEST.
MAN |
“By Rey. David James Burrell, . D.
ca. Want a definition to begin
with; and let it be as simple as pos-
sible. An honest man is one who
Pays his debts. That covers the whole
case. It,will be seen that this defi-
nition, so simple apparently, is quite
comprehensive, and it cuts deeper
than we think. For when the matter
of life's assets and Mabilities is fully
canvassed, it will appear that it is
no easy matter to live and die with
a clean balance sheet.
| The question at the outset touches
our relations with God. Are we
debtors to God? Yes, by universal
consent. In the bill of particulars
‘there are three items, to-wit: \
| First: Creation. Is there any one
Who does not rejoice in the fact that
he was made “but a little lower than
the angels” and in the likeness of
God? Is it nothing to stand erect,
| sensible of a divine birthright and of
a divine inheritance? Is there no
| occasion for gratitude in the fact that
I am able to dream dreams and see
visions, and, as Kepler said, “think
God’s. thoughts after him?” What
ee We owe in return for these? The
least possible recognition of God's
goodness, thus far, is in keeping our-
‘selves on friendly ‘terms with him.
The second item in the bill of partic-
ulars is Providence. In God we live
and move and have our being. We
slept in his arms last night, cared for
‘As tenderly as children.in thelr moth-
ers arms, He feeds us, clothes us,
and continually cares for us.
What shall we render unto him for
these loving kindnesses? Do they lay
no obligation upon us? The least
that we can do is to bend our knees
in thanksgiving. To the beggar who
stretches out his hand saying: “I am
hungry,” you gave enough to buy him-
self a breakfast and he says: “I
‘thank you.” Could he do less and
bear the semblance of a man? What
‘then of the man who never prays,
who takes God's gilts without a word
of recognition? 1s he an honest man?
| ‘The third item in the bill of particu-
Jars is divine grace. It matters not,
so far as the question at issue is con-
‘cerned, whether a man has accepted
‘the overtures of God’s mercy or not;
it still remains that provision has been
‘made for his deliverance from sin.
You may not have accepted Christ,
By friend; that does not affect the
fact that God gave his only begotten
Son to die in your behalf that you
“might be saved from sin. Here is an
‘immeasurable obligation laid upon
every man, How shall we pay it?
|The answer isin the words af the
|familiar hymn: “Here, Lord, 1 give
[myself to thee, "tis all that 1 can do.”
Would that we might sing it, but once
| with heart and understanding! For it
contains the sum total of the philoso-
phy of duty; that is, of what we owe
| to God.
| It isa startling fact that men are so
| prone to overlook their obligations to
God, for here is the very root of hon-
/esty. “Will a man rob God?” Shall
| we withhold from God that which is
his honest due? Nay, that is clearly
impossible if one would be an honest
| man.
| But the question touches, secondly,
our relations with our fellow men. For
no man liveth unto himself and no
man dieth unto himself. It would ap-
pear that the angels were created one
by one; but men are of one family,
and “blood is thicker than water.”
We are mutually interdependent, as
lenders and borrowers; and each is
| bound, in honesty, to balance his ac-
| count with his fellowmen.
I am debtor to society; that is, to
a fellow men en masse. The liber-
ties, immunities and sanctities of my
daily life come to me through the so-
cial organism; and, so far forth, I am
a debtor to the community in which
I live. How shal I meet that obli-
| gation? ‘To state it as briefly as pos.
| sible, I am bound to put more into the
| common exchequer that I draw out
of it.
‘There are two kinds of people, con-
sumers and producers. The consumer
says: “The world owes me a living,”
and proceeds to exact it. An idler,
rich or poor, living in pursuance of
that dictum, is a dishonest man. The
producer, on the other hand, is one
who adds to the common fund by ma-
king something. He earns livelihood.
and semething more. And when he
makes his exit, he leaves the communi-
ty richer from his having lived in it.
What are you producing, my friend?
Make something, I pray you. Make
‘a plow or a poem, make a house or
a history, dig a well or build a stable;
produce something that will remain as
your memorial, leaving the balance on
the right side when you have gone
your way.
But my indebtedness is not merely
to humanity en masse. “I am debtor
to every man.” The original break
Ii the family circle was made when

LAND IN CANADA
AN INVESTMENT
_ Farm lands in Canada increased in
value this Spring from fifteen to twen-
‘ty per cent, and. as a result of this
increase thousands of those who have
gone there within the past few years
have had that much more value added
‘to their holdings. There is proof here
‘that as a field for investment there
is nowhere to be found a more profit-
‘able one than in purchasing farm
‘lands in Canada, And, as a field for
occupation and working the farms
‘there is nowbere on the continent
where more satisfactory return is
‘given. The crops are always sure and
the prices are always good. With
railroads entering and traversing all
the settled parts, there are very few
districts in which the farmer will be
more than from ten to twelve miles
from a railway station. Roads are
‘good, and big loads are easily handled.
“The price of getting grain to the pri-
mary market is low on this account,
and then in reaching the world’s mar-
kets the railways have their rates con-
trolled by the Government, and what
may be considered a fair deal is cer-
tain, Good prices for all kinds of
grain is the rule, and if the investor
has made good money by the increased
‘value given to his unworked land, it
is not dificult to understand that the
profit to the man who works his land
is just that much more, and there
will be no depreciation. The man
who holds a free homestead of one
hundred and sixty acres of land,
which he got for $10 as an entry fee,
has land which at its lowest estimate
is worth $10 an acre—yes, $15 an acre
—the moment he has completed his
three years’ residence duties. It will
‘continue to increase in value until its
earning power gives a reasonable in-
terest on a certain sum, That fs, if
he takes off the land fifteen to twenty
‘dollars per acre clear profit each year,
his land is worth to him, at a fair rate
of interest, $200 an acre. If he only
realizes $10 an acre clear prefit, it is
worth $100 per acre. Now, theu-
sands of farmers are duplicating these
figures, The price of land in Canada
to-day 1s much less than its realizing
Tana ‘The fact that the fifty thou-
sand Americans who went to Canada
year before last were followed by one
‘hundred thousand last year offers
| some evidence, and good evidence, too,
that there is getting to be a pretty fair
knowledge that money fs to be made in
‘Canada lands. As an investment money
is to be made, but more by living
upon the land, secured either by home-
‘stead or purclvase. The one hundred
| thousand of last year will be one hun-
“dred and fifty thousand this year.
‘Yhese comprise people from every
‘state in the Union, and it is just being
'realized the asset that awaits the
homeseeker in Canada. The large
‘numbers that have gone, though,
makes no appreciable difference in
the supply of land. There is still left
| vast quantities of the best of it. But
| the longer a delay is made in arriving
| at a decision, the price will advance
proportionately, and the more de-
sirable homesteads near the railway
lines become more difficult to secure.
The Government publishes interesting
literature, which may be had on ap-
plication to any of the agents Whose
| offices are located at different points
| through the States, and they (the
| agents) will be pleased to assist in
| any way possible-in the choice of lo

It Was His Turn.
Two weary travelers were compelled
to seek lodging in a country hotel
that was unpromising in looks at
least. Upon conferring with the own-
er the prospects brightened.
“Certainly, gentlemen,” he said, “I
have one spare bed that the two of
you may have—a large feather one.
‘This way, please.”
They followed and were loath to
anticipate much ease, but accepted
the only thing and retired. One was
soon snoring long and loudly; the
other could not sleep. At about two in
the morning the wakeful one nudged
his companion.
“Here, get up! Time's up,” he said.
“What's the matter?” asked the
other; “we are not on duty.”
“No, but it's my turn to sleep on
the feather,” was the reply.
Would Mean a Better Show.
“Johnny,” said the teacher, “here
1s a book. Now, stand up straight
and sing like a little man.”
The song was *Nearer, My God.”
No sooner had the school commenced
to sing than a little girl waved her
hand frantically. Stopping the sing.
ing, the teacher inquired the cause.
“Please, teacher, I think Johnny
will get nearer if he whistles.’—

“There is nothing in all the world

Where She'd Wear It
Somebody sent this to the society
editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
and made affidavit that it really hap-
pened.
Here it is: They were out at xn
afternoon card party. A stout woman
4ropped a card to the floor. “Would
you be so kind as to pick up that
tard for me?” she inquired of the lit
tle woman at her right.
“Certainly,” said the accommodat
Ing woman at the right, picking up
the card.
“You see,” explained the stout wom
‘an, ‘f’vo got on a brand new $50 cor
set, and I'm afraid I'l strain it if I
Jean pver.”
“Hum!” commented the other wom
an, enviously. “If I had a $50 corset
Fa wear it on the outside. 1 roally
would.”
