period. Farmers, especially our west
ern settlers, should understand this and
turn their attention to the mixed system
of farming. It is evident that excep-
tional conditions now prevail, but these
are at best only temporary, and while
the prospects may warrant holding the
present crop, now is a good time to warn
against over-production and low prices
that must inevitably follow a season of
good values.

young man was ordered to get away
to Canada, which he did without

advertised his escape and offered a
reward of $1,000 for his recapture.
The reward was never claimed.

Persia,s Progress.

Is Persia making any progress as a
nation? asks reader.
No doubt it is making somd
progress, though Oriental countries
move very slowly compared with such
a land as ours. The present Shah OF
Persia, recently reported i'll, has been
one of the most progressive monarchs
that country ever had. During his
reign Teheran has changed from a
dreary old town Of 100000 inhabit-
ants to Il city of thrice that populaj
ton, and been beautitied with fine
promenades, elegant residences and
handsome public edifices. He has in7
troduced banks, gas, telegraphs and
street railways and modernized his
army; and he is the first ruler of
Persia to form a regular ministry on
the European model and to nominate
ambassadors to foreign courts. The
Shah has made two visits to Europe,
during which he was close observer,
and he has introduced many European
features into his country.

report. The document shows that al
the time of the death of LOyejOy the
assets. apart from the real estate. were
valued at about S455,01S.7O. The re-
ceiptS since then from different sources
have been S50T.0SS.S 81. The diSburSe-

tainly entertaining. It's airs are tuneful and
its construction is quite ambitious. At the
same time its music lacks diStineiiveness. not
to say originality. Several OF the airs which
were given prominence are apt to remind
one of some half-forgotten air The COM
pany is good one. Mark Smith sings as
well as OF old, and Elsie v arren. the soprano.

as Il Spanish grandee. and his angular anat-
