The Canadian Gazette tells an anus
ing story of one who was too quick at
drawing an inferer ce. 1t happened that
Glasgow professor who was visiting
Canada with the British association in
1884 was desirous of seeing something Of
northwestern life, and for this purpose
repaired to an Alberta ranch.
| fixed him up as well as I could the
rancher says, but he complained that he
did not like sleeping with his clothes on.
So after the first night | stretched a
cowskin across the shack and told him
he might undress If he liked. He took
off most of his garments and put on a
long nightdress. In the morning my
foreman came in while the gentleman
was still sleeping. Observing the white
nightdress, he said in whisper:
Rather sudden, eh?"
"What?' | asked.
THE death of the old man"
Hes not dead; he's sleep" i eX-
planned.
"Then what's he wearn' them billed
clothes for?" was the reply "Never saw
a chap laid out in billed clothes afore
'cept he were dead"

work which brought on the attack of
brain trouble. His wife, his brother.

A native Swiss travelling in Amer
lea for the first time, was in Cincin-
natl this week and in en- interview
had to say:
This is my first visit to the united
States" said Mr.. Pflster, in excellent
English. II am charmed with Amer
ica it's vast resources and the univer-
sal energy and business push of the
people. In our happy little country
we are quieter. War doesn't bother
us and we have no navy,"he said
laugningly. But we maintain our
susupremacy in the manufacture of
watches, / think. The old customs in
Switzerland are dying out to a great
extent Time was when the trade of
watch making went from father to
son, but nowadays, where there is so
much travel, and new ideas are COM
ing into our mountains. the son
strikes out Off himself; emigrates or
selects his own trade. Times and bus
mess are good in Switzerland and the
people are, generally, prosperous.
The Swiss are a contented people and
their wants are few and that goes
grea- ways in making times all right"
