A Curious Wager,

A wager was made in 1906 in the Castle
yard, York, England, between Thomas
Hodgson and Samuel Whitehead, as to
which should succeed in assuming the
most singular character Umpires were
selected, whose duty it was to decide upon
the comparative absurdity of the costumes
in which the two men were to appear. On
the appointed day Holgson came before
the umpires decorated with bank notes of
various values, his coat and vest being en-
tirely covered with them. Besides these
he had row of five guinea pieces down his
back, n Melted purse of gold around his
head and IA placard on his back bearing the
legend, John Bull"
Whitehead came on the scene dressed
like woman on one side, one half of his
face painted and silk stocking and slip
per on one foot and leg. The other half of
his face was blackened so as to resemble a
negro; on the corresponding side of his
body he wore n CANDY, long tailed linen
coat, his leg on that side being incased in
half pair Of leather brooches and a boot
with spur. He wore wig of sky blue
braided down his back and tied with vel
low, red and orange coIored ribbons.
One would naturally fancy that he pre-
sented the most singular and ludicrous ap-
pearance but the umpires must have
thought differently, rs they awarded the
stakes, some twenty pounds, to Hodgson

She Saw the Pile Too Late.

An Oakmont mother picked up the jacket
of her twelve-year-old boy and marveled at
its weight.
She did not marvel so much after she
had taken the following articles from the
pocket:
A broken and rusty iron toy pistol, book
strap, yard of top string with tin but
ton at one end of it, piece of dog chain, a
bunch Of bristies, pocket mirror. rub
Der cork, two hickory nuts, toy watch and
chain, match safe, three marbles, part Of
the works of watch, combined pencil and
penholder, cartridge she'll, screw, two
wire nails, piece of tailor's chalk, several
pebbles, three tobacco tags, small cork
screw, two pieces of lead pencil, slate pen
ell, piece of wire, piece of blue chalk, a
penwiper, hair curler, toy sleigh bell,
shoe button, cancelled postage stamp, sew
eral scraps of paper and some odds and
ends that defied classification.
"What are you doing with all that stuff"
queried the mother, as she surveyed the
outfit for a junkshop,
"That's nuthin," replied the urchin
"You ought to have seen it before traded
off the other things. "-Pittsburg Chron-

@-AAA<i AN44AA AlIIIAINAI
INTO Cii3 Saskatchewan district Of the
Canadian Northwest TerritoriesP The
answer is simple. Settlers from the
Eastern States are unable to find snit-
able unoccupied land in the Western
States; the young men who were born
and raised in the West look about for
land and csslnot find it near home. and
of those who have land some have neces-
sity for more. They want first-class
farming land that does not REQUIRE irri-
cation; they want rich grass land for
their cattle, and they want it cheap,
They find that they can attain such land
In all quantities, some of it free and as
much as they want at So an acre. and
that as settler need pay only tenth
of the purchase money down, with nine
years to pay the rest, his land increases
in value far above the purchase price
long before his payments are due. And
the men of Washington, Oregon and
Western States see by the map that they
have not far to go; that lines run up
from the boundary at several points to
Calgary and Edmonton, and that the
lands to be acquired are along the line
OF railway and within easy reach of q
station. 1t is no wonder therefore that
there is quiet but extensive movement
among American farmers to get to this
Northern Alberta country, and that the
lands from fifty miles north of Calgary
to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan and
beyond it are very eagerly sought. In
several parts, where two years ago only
small railway station marked the dis
trict, mixed colonies of Canadians and
Americans have now established them
selves.
