ern border the fertile province of Mani
toba, containing the greater part Of
Lake Winnipeg, and embracing a vast
extent OF rich prairie land, whose abun-
dant harvests and bountiful pastures
have won for the province worldwide
fame, notwithstanding the long, cold
winter that it has to endure.
Geology hos an interesting story to
tell OF the former condition of Mani
toba, and of the origin Of its productive
soil. A great lake, exceeding in extent
the whole chain Of what we now call
the great lakes, once existed there. and
to this vanished lake, which no man
ever saw though the evidences of its
former existence are plentiful enough,
the name Of Agassiz has been given.
The present Lake Winnipeg is only
the shrunken and dwindled remnant Of
the great body Of water whose oozy bed
has now been turned into thousands of
harvest fields.
But perhaps the most interesting
thing about Lake Agassiz is that it
was formed, 20 to speak, by tremen-
dous dam of ice which shut it in on its
southern side. This was near the close
Of the so-called glacial period, when tho
great sheet of ice that had covered
more than half OF North America was
beginning to dissolve and retreat.
AS the glacial ice melted away, and
the bed Of the Lake slowly rose with
the diminished pressure, the waters of
Lake Agassiz were gradually drained
of, leaving only tho Winnipeg Of to-
day, the basin of the Red river of the
north, and the broad prairies Of Mani
toba as tokens of It's former existence,
and evidence Of it's vast extent.

An Illustration OF Ono of the Quecr Ways
of tho World.
1t was drizzly, dirty, disagreeable
day, when everything was unpleasant
TO the sight and touch. On Clark street
man who had attempted to drive his
team attached to a big load of coal into
an alley had stalled his horses, and was
vainly endeavoring to make them start
the load again. But the pavement was
muddy and slippery, and the faithful
beasts, although they earnestly tried,
could not quite start the load forward.
A crowd Of men had collected and were
watching the animals struggle. Pres
entity, says the Chicago Tribune, man
wearing silk hat, fine clothes and kid
gloves spoke up:
Gentlemen, how many times have
horses helped you out of tight place?
What Is there that the noble horse,
mans most faithful friend, would not
do for his master? 1t seems 70 me that
It is only common gratitude to remem-
Der past kindness. One good turn de-
serves another Surprising we catch
hold here and give this wagon a boost
md thus help those who have helped
us.''
The appeal was successful, for in an
Instant dozen willing hands laid hold
IF the muddy wheels and the next mo-
ment the load was on it's way to its des-
tination. Then the men who had so
kindly assisted looked at their hands
covered with mud and then they looked
about to receive word of commenda-
lion from the cohelper who had sug-
rested the work. But he was half way
up the block and his gloves were not o
bit soiled, for he had not lifted a pound.
That is the way Of the world. The man
who does the talking ought not to be
expected to do ANYTHING else
