A LIVING MANS FUNERAL.
1t Was Not Mock Anair-The Crowd
| Seemed SArinua.

It Was Not y Mock Affair-Tho Crowd
Seemed Serious.
The widely advertised funeral SER
vices over the Rev. Frank Wiseman,
who conceived the idea of hearing a
funeral sermon about himself preach
ed, took place one day recently In the
little church at Vadis, Lewis county,
says Parkersburg (W. Va) corre-
spondent of the Baltimore Sun. 1t
was scarcely daylight before the val
ley began filling up with vehicles OF
every variety. all headed toward the
village, and by 1890, the time set for
the beginning of the service. it was
not possible for conveyance to get
within quarter Of a mile OF the
church. When the Rev. Mr.. Ireland
who had been chosen by Mr.. Wiseman
to otticiate, stepped into the pulpit the
building was crowded to its utmost
capacity and the grounds surrounding
1t were filled with a throng of people
eager to take part in the strange cere-
monies. After tie funeral address Mr..
Wiseman and his family and friends
stepped behind the altar-rail and be-
gan shouting and praising God. the
congregation in the meanwhile pass
ing around the side aisle of the church
and as they filed past the altar shak-
ing hands with Mr.. Wiseman. After
an address by the Rev. Mr.. Doyle, dur
ing which he admonished Mr.. Wiseman
to live a better life than ever before.
because his funeral had now taken
place and the world would watch him
the more closely, the vast congrega-
ton slowly dispersed. The affair was
the more curious for the reason that
those taking part in it did not seem
to consider it mock funeral, but all
entered into the services in the most
earnest manner, there being no I'M
seemly conduct or boisterousness even
among the large crowd who did not
gain admission to the chapel. AS those
who attended slowly drove to their
homes they did so in manner that
indicated they felt that they had been
in attendance to the funeral OF one OF
their most respected neighbors.

CANADA'S MOCK PARLIAMENT
Not Dead, but Sleeping, Is This Inter
esting Debating Society.

Not Dead, but Sleeping, Is This Inter-
esting Debating Society.
One of the members of the late mock
parliament, who has for many years
taken a lively interest in its welfare,
takes exception to the report that the
organization is dead, says the Montreal
Star. The Montreal Parliamentary
Debating Society is not dead, he
claims, but sleeping for time. A
state of similar inactivity came over
it some four or five years ago, when
its sessions were suspended for cou-
pie of years. This, however, did not
prevent its springirg forth with re-
newed usefulness when the demand for
its opportunities was felt. Unlike
most debating societies the mock par
lament has had a singularly well-con-
tinued existence for nearly fourteen
years. Of late, however, there has
been a good deal of apathy in the pub
lie mind regarding its proceedings and
it was deemed we'll that meanwhile it
should bide its time. Moreover, the
alleged obsequies were not so lacking
in mourners as would appear. Rather
more than twenty supporters gathered
recently and it was an open question
for some time whether the society
should not go on with its good works.
Probably the real danger was the
confessed inability of the speak
er, the energetic secretary and
the leader of the government
party to give the society as much
of their time and attention as here
tofore. The question of continuing,
however, was we'll discussed and it
may be safely assumed that at no dis
tant time the mock parliament will
again be found training young citi-
zens in the knowledge and power OF
dealing with public questions.

ACCURACY.
It Is Good Thing bnt Sometimes 1t
Becomes Painful.

1t Is a Good Thing bnt Sometimes 1t
Becomes Painful.
Accuracy is the most desirable thing
on ordinary occasions, but there are
times when it pals, says the Wash
ington Star. 1t is soothing to hear
the English language spoken with
confidence and unerring grammar,
which betoken intelligence and good
breeding, and especially so when it is
uttered in public places by uniformed
persons from whom you ordinarily
hear such remarks as Hi" Get a
move on yer" and Cant you look
where we're goin'?'
A middle-aged man who had male
his way through the mob of depot en-
ployes who use this style of vocabu-
larry was happy to find the conductor
on the sleeping car young man with
a gentle voice and deliberate and re-
fined manner He was more than
gratified when he saw him, later on
the journey, take copy OF one OF the
Latin classics from his pocket and be-
gin to read HIS pleasure at the spec

his haste to catch the train he had neg

conductor answered. without looking

some phases of my duty"
The conductor had not taken his

asked, when and for how long this

Yukon in the search for gold, and has
diverted the attention Of many others.
But in order to get there it is necessary
that a man should be possessed of the
best of health, strong powers OF endu-
rance and considerable means. lie
leaves his wife and his family for con-
siderable period, and the hardships he
has to endure are all unknown to him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her
golden grain. This year the crop OF
Manitoba, lying directly north OF North
Dakota, yielded 100000 bushels Of
wheat alone. The current price aver
ages rs cents, which, as local paper
puts it, "makes the product tn gold this
year, for wheat alone, equal to value
Of $15,960,O0O." Twenty thousand farm
ers did this, or an average to each pro-
Queer of about $798.
But these same farmers are not ltv-
ing by wheat alone. This is only one
source of revenue to them out of many.
They have also beef, butter, potatoes,
oats, barley and poultry to sell, and
sometimes other things, so that 1t may
be fairly estimated that their incomes
will average at least $1,000 per farmer.
Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded
this year fully $2O,000000 in gold, d.
vided among 10000 actual producers,
and general population of about 200,-
O0O."
After counting the cost of stamp
mills, expenses of men, etc., rich as is
the klondike, such vast wealth as is be-
ing taken out of the soil in raising
wheat in this one province, cannot pos
sibly be secured in any mining district.
OF course mining development assists
agricultural development, and that is
why the Government of Canada feels
so much assurance in predicting pros
perity to all who take up farms in Can
ada. Western Canada today promises
more than any other known field that is
open to immigration. Farms Of 100
acres, capable of producing the best
No. hard wheat, yielding thirty to for
ty bushels to the acre, are given away
free. Railways, markets, schools,
churches-all are convenient. The
Canadian form of government is one Of
the most liberal known, and hearty
welcome is given to settlers of all ma
tionalities. Already there are many set
tiers gone in from the states, and the
reports from them are highly favorable.
Those desiring information as to free
homestead laws, low transportation
rates, etc., will have pamphlets, etc.,
sent free on application to the Depart
ment of the Interior. Ottawa, or to any
agent Of the Government.
