tile lands Of Western Canada. which
We're made at the several State and
county fairs in some of the Western
States this fall, have awakened consid-
cradle interest In the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement, and which are given frea
TO settlers. The agents of the Govern
ment, who are to be found in these
States, are flooded with inquiries re-
garding the conditions on which these
lands may be secured. Large numbers
have located on these lands during the
past year, and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era of
prosperity, and are well pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities AID
the climate. The provinces of Mani
toba, Assinaboia and Alberta are spe-
cially adapted to diversified farming.
In some parts the country is specially
adapted to stock raising, and it is be-
ing profitably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains a week at time,
the warm breeZes from the ocean af-
fecting the climate thus favorably.
When the desirability of these lands is
fully known there will be a rush such
as has scarcely ever before been
known. Information as to low railway
rates, illustrated pamphlets, ETC., viii

partment of the Interior, Ottawa, Can

dent during business hours because he Is
generally busy receiving official callers
None of the cranks arrested at the
White House in the last year have had
cunning enough to carry out any scheme
they might have, and 1t is doubtful if any
OF them intended wrong toward any
body. They belonged to a class of men
not bright or keen when in full possession
OF their mental faculties. The dangerous
crank is the man who has sense enough
left to conceal his intentions and who re-
fuses to tell his business to any but the
proper person. Such man, If presenting
proper appearance in dress and other
wise, might evade the lynx-eyed officers
stationed at the executive mansion, but
there are nine chances to one that some of
them would find him out and end his game.

SHE CONQUERED.

Matter

Began to Cry and That Settled the
Matter.
Il have regained all my lost faith in
womankind." said a man to a Wash
ington Post reporter. 'As / came
through the railway station gate in
Jersey City one day recently on my
way home, l noticed just in front of
me one of the cleverest of all the
Washington newspaper women, a
woman whose work is marked by n
courage and original strength as far
removed from sensationalism as fame
is from notoriety. She was accompa-
MED by two little boys and the gate
keeper stopped her. The elder little
boy was more than 5 years old and his
name was not on the pass she offered.
The gate-keeper locked the gate and
went with her to see the conductor
about it. The rulings of the road were
most strict, the two officials agreed.
A ticket was necessary for the boy.
The newspaper woman must return 70
the station and buy one.

the newspaper woman, meekly. No,
the conductor didn't approve that way
of doing. People mustn't try to beat
the railway company out of halffares.
The boy was over 5. He must have a
ticket.
Il heard it all, and I listened. be-

way system yanquished. had known
that newspaper woman to revolution
iZe whole town. | expected to see
the conductor wither away and the
gate-keeper run for his life, but the
woman said never a word.
She simply looked helplessly around
and began to cry-yes, to cry, and the
last | saw of her the conductor and
the porter and the gate-keeper were
helping her into the car and begging
her not to cry. The eternal feminine
had spoken its last word and there was
no more talk of a half-fare ticket"

MUNITIONS FOR CUBA.
Big Cargo of War Material on the Way
to the Rebels.

Big Cargo of War Material on the Way
to the Rebels.
One of the most colossal cargoes of war
material ever sent to Cuba was stored
Monday night on board of a steamer hove
to off Montauk point, at the eastern end
of Long Island. The number of rifles
and cartridges loaded on this vessel is said
to reach into the millions These muni-
tons of war came from seven different
tugs, which sped away from as many diff
ferent ports on the Atlantic coast just
before the hour of midnight Saturday.
But secretly as the Cubans worked the
Spanish spies discovered their plans, and
Sunday night Government tugs with arm
ed men aboard started from half dozen
ports on Long Island sound and the Jer-
sey coast in search of the filibuster The
search was fruitless.
Spanish spies were watching tug in
the Delaware river last Saturday night.
The tug was rapidly loaded with war sup
plies and went to sea as soon as she had
loaded. On that one tug alone there is
said TO have been 100000 rounds of cart
ridges and more than 500 rifles. On reach
ing the mouth of the river she started
straight ont to sea, bound, it Is said, for
a point outside the jurisdiction of the
United States, where she would meet

A STORY OF JEFFERSON.
How the famous President Ferried
Stranger Over a River.

How the famous President Ferried a
Stranger Over a River.
1t is related of Jefferson thats while
riding in company with two young men,
he came to creek so swollen by a
shower that tie water was I'D to the
satldlegirths.
A man, standing on the bank with a
saddle on his shoulders, looked at the
young men as they rode into the stream
but said nothing. AS Jefferson came
along the stranger asked if he could
not be allowed to mount behind and
thus be carried across.
The President refined his horse up to
a stone, the man mounted, and, when
across, expressed his thanks and walk
ed away. Several men who had seen
the novel ferry asked:
What made you let the young men
pass, and why did you ask the old gen

you. | reckon a man carries yes or
no in his face The young chaps

party, who would have asked the Pres

VESSEL BURNS AT SEA.
The Clara Nevada of the Alaskan
Fleet Is Reported Lost.

The Clara Nevada of the Alaskan
Fleet Is Reported Lost.
1t is reported at Union, b. c., that the
steamer Clara Nevada is lost. 1t Is said
she went down while on her return trip
from Skaguay, near Seward City, and
that all those aboard, about forty people
in all, are lost.
1t is claimed that parties on shore heard
an explosion on board, and saw the vessel
on fire. Passengers who made the trip
up on the Nevada are very willing to be-
lieve the story, as she is said to have been
on fire once while going up, and that her
boiler had to be repaired before making
the return trip.
The Nevada sailed from Seattle Jan. %
for Alaska. She was a steamship of about
1000 tons. She was formerly known as
the Hassler, and was in the Government
survey on the northern coast. Recently
she was purchased from the Government
and fitted up for the Alaska trade. She
was regarded as perfectly seaworthy.
