UndeserVed CuR.

1t was undeserved, but the circum-
stances were so peculiar that even the
recipient of the blow must have been
more amused than angry. The story
is told by London journal: The Rev.
DR.. X, a popular minister, suffers from
a halt in his gait, a popularity which
he inherited frem his father. One day
when the reverend doctor was still a
student. he was walking along Princes
street, Edinburgh, in company with
his father, and on coming to path
where the footway was narrowed ON
account of some building operations,
the old gentleman stepped on before
him. AS they were proceeding thus,
a looking countryman behind
them, evidently unaware of the rela-
tionship of the pair, frowned once or
twice at the limping youth, and shook
his head at him reprovingly. Young
X. was wondering what this could
mean, when he was speedily enlight-
ened by the countryman giving him
smart box on the ear, at the same time
exclaiming Indignantly: TAX that, we
young jackanapes! Ye should be
ashamed O. yourself for mimicking the
auld gentleman's infirmity Ye tooth
less young scoundrel, yell may be
lame yourself some day." e.

Proved True.

A lawyer whose Office was on one OF
the upper floors of a tall building was
about to enter the elevator one morn
ing, but stepped back in order to let a
lady who seemed to be in hurry pre-
cede him. The conductor" it appear
ed, had been waiting for just one more
passenger to complete his load, and
when the lady stepped inside he shut
the door and the elevator shot up

yer, 'is not always its own reward"
A few minutes later, however, ascend

load of passengers stuck halfway be-

machinery. 81 take it back" he NUT

B. and 0. Presidents.

The recent annual meeting OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company,
which was its seventy first, brings to
mind the fact that the B. & o. has had
ten presidents in seventy-one years
as follows: Philip E. Thomas,
Louis McLane, Thomas Swan, Will
lam c. Harrison, Chauncey Brooks,
John w. Garrett, Robert Gar
rett, Samuel Spencer Charles F. May
er and John X. Cowen. The line was
put in operation to Harper's Ferry in
1884, was built to Winchester, Va, in
1886, and to Strasburg in 1870. West
ward 1t went to Cumberland in Novem-
Der, 1912, and on to Wheeling, w. Va,
by Jan. 1, 1853. The Parkersburg
branch from Grafton to Parkersburg
was opened May l, 1857. 1t is the only
great railroad company that is being
operated under its original name and
charter.

which is proving very advanta-
geous to the settlers Of North
Alberta, Canada, and is truly boon to
the farmers, is the establishment OF
creameries by the Government at regu-
lar distances apart. The Government
furnishes the entire plant, puts it in
and operates it without direct cost to
the farmer From the sale of the but
ter the Government retains s cents per
pound the balance going to the farmer.
This is continued for three years, when
the government turns over the plant
and business to the farmers, CIV
ing them clear title OF 1t.
Thus these creameriee are put in
at a minimum cost TO the farmer
and paid for in a way that he least
feels it. When we were there butter
was selling at Il and 22 cents per
pound Cheese factories were being es-
tablished, too along the railroad and
much of the freight loaded on the cars
on our return trip consisted of butter
and cheese, as it was in the best sea-
son for milk. The produce found a
ready market in the mining and lum-
bering towns and districts beyond the
Rockies, through the British Columbia
country, where it was, We were told,
difficult to supply the demand"
The Klondike is another field now
open to the Western Canadian farmer
for all produce of the farm, and the
officials in the Department of the IN
terror, Ottawa, Canada, are kept busy
sending out literature describing this
great agricultural country. The agents
of the Government throughout the
United States are also supplied with
literature, which they distribute free.

She went away then under the pre-

Lord Caraven alone.
@"She has a little more spirit than
thought she had" he said to himself
Then, when he had the opportunity,
he told Arley Ransome that he had
been unfortunate in. his interview with
his daughter. Mr.. Ransome quickly
made everything smooth-the wedding
day was to be on the third of August.
Something may happen before
then" thought the earl; ''if not, have
always one resource, always one ha-
ven. Much may happen, before the

While Mildred Ransome said to her
self that, If she liked her future hus-
band no better in six weeks time than
she did now, it would be but sorry

lord Caraven laughed; he knew that
there was no opposing such a decree
it must be complied with. He made
the best of it. He invited his half
cousin, the Lady Frances Richie,
superannuated coquette, who still be-
lieved herself young and charming, to
be bridesmaid Lord st. Mature was

Lady Richie succeeded, and Hildred
rejoiced in the attendance Of bright,
quick Parisienne, who foretolld that
the day would come when her mistress
would be acknowledged one Of the
most beautiful women in England.
"She wants little training; she will
have to travel and mix in society

have never seen face or figure or
greater promise"
The day before Hildred's wedding
day the Hollies had been one scene OF
excitement and confusion; there had
been SO many visitors, the number OF
presents was so great. Late in the
evening, a magnificent bridal bouquet
arrived from Lord Caraven. The we'd
ding breakfast was all prepared; the
trunks containing all that was needed
of the grand trousseau were packed
and corded-the labels were already
addressed, Lady Caraven, passenger
to Paris" for the earl had decided on
spending the so-called honeymoon
there; every detail of the morrow's
ceremony was arranged, and late at
night Mildred Ransome stood with the
earl's bouquet in her hand.
They revealed nothing to her, those
odorous flowers; they were of magical
sweetness, but they brought her no
message. There was something pathet-
ic in the picture-the drawing-room
full of strange shadows, the light of
the lamp falling where she stood, a
contrast to the darkness around. She
wore a dressing-gown of white, soft,
clinging material, fastened with Grim
son cords, her wealth of dark hair lay
negligently over her shoulders, her
eyes were bright with unshed tears.
1t was a sweet, sad, girlish face; a
motherly woman looking at it would
have drawn the girls head down to
her breast, and have soothed her with
loving words. The morrow would be
her wedding day; the tired servants
were all sleeping, her attentive little
maid had gone to rest, her father had
retired quite early to his room. The
morrow would be her wedding day,
and they had told her that she could
live without love. Her wedding day!
