NJ. V. McInnes, Esq, Colonization
Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Strive
have just returned from the West, and
were exceedingly well pleased with the
country. We are going back to take
up our homesteads In early spring. We
received S35 per month and board
working for farmers, and the board
was the best we ever had-the beef and
mutton especially were excellent. The
fine flavor Is owing to the fine grasses
which the cattle and sheep feed upon.
The people are very hospltable, and
treat their hired help with much kind
ness.
The grain Ia much heavier than
here; wheat being 62 lbs. to the bushel;
oats 4S lbs, and barley often SIS lbs.
Any man with a good team and
money enough to buy provisions and
seed for six months can become rich
there in five years. Many people who
arrived there five years ago with
little, or nothing, are we'll off now.
One man l met held his wheat from
last year and was offered $4,000 for
this years crop and what he had held
over from last year, and Is holding at
81 per bushel. We are going back in
the spring to work for this same farm
er until seeding, after which we will
homestead between seeding and har-
vest. We think we will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern r. R.
You can refer any one to US for this
mart NJ the country while we are hera
and we will cheerfully answer any
questions which anyone may wish to
ask. Yours truly,

LONDON, March 29.-The Westmin-

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 10, 1897.
Mr.. M. V. McInnes, Chief Colonial
ton Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear SIR
We are pleased to state to you that we
have found the country in the vicinity
OF Alameda fully up to what you and
Mr.. Keller had represented 1t to be. It
is, In fact, an ideal location for mixed
farming. The soil is the best we ever
saw, and as the farmers were all busy
at threshing, we had an excellent
chance to sec its productive quality,
which cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The cattle could not be in better con-
dition. We saw two year old steers
equal to three year old raised in most
places, and these, as are all others
about Alameda, were fed on native hay
In winter and herded in summer. AS
we had previous to this visited the
Northwestern States in behalf Of
large number Of farmers, to locate
suitable land for mixed farming, we
are now in a position to say that the
Alameda district Of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country Is
equal to that about Thurlngen in Ger
many. We were rather sceptlc before
starting, and our intention was to set
tie in spring, II we were suited, but
we have now decided to move at once;
that is, as early this fall as we pos
sibly can. We left Mr.. Riedel at
Alameda, and take back his report, and
we will take his family and effects with
US when we go.

Dear Friends Of Saginaw: Those de-

Will do we'll to take our advice, and

OF Alameda, as we know that every.

land we were partly in doubt as to
moving here, but after looking 1t over
we at once decided to make our home
here, and we beg those of our friends
who are DESTROYS of securing farms,
not to let this chance slip by, as the
soil is Of the best and the water can
not be excelled. The finest wheat we
ever saw Is also raised here.
We shall return home in haste,
straighten out our affairs, and move

of the horrible fate staring him in the
face. On and on the iceberg swiftly
sailed, until at length, tired and weary,
the boy must have fallen asleep; only
to awaken with a sudden start, to real
ize that he was drifting on an iceberg
on the open sea, surrounded by float
ing masses of ice that bumped and
crashed about him with heavy thuds.
But through the long, weary night,
the iceberg drifted steadily on, and
Danes hope that he would be picked
up by some passing steamer began to
grow dim. II he could have steered
the berg into the channels through
which the steamer had passed on her
way to the bay, he felt there might
have been a chance for life, but once
out on the Pacific ocean, and he knew
there would be no hope.

early dawn he jumped to his feet. A

With eyes almost starting out of his

his direction.
Then the boy began to shout with all
his strength, until he was so exhausted
that only hoarse rasping sounds came
from his throat. At length, with a cry,

in pieces, with match he found in his
pocket, he set it on fire.

up across the water. Will they see his
signal?
Yes; thank God, for suddenly Dane
saw one of the lee boats sent adrift oi
her gripes, and two sailors sprang into
her, lowered to the sea, and now, with
strong, sweeping strokes of the oar
the little boat shot over the DARK
waters toward the boy.
Breathlessly Dane watched the boat;
the ceaseless tapping of the waves
against the iceberg the only sound thai
struck his ear. And now the boy saw
rope flung far over the heavinl
waters. What was he to do? Swim

when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seri-
ously i'll. The family physician told her
that she had reached critical period of her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatment did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved unavailing.
At last DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with in.
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope
she tried the remedy. Last March she took
the first box of the pills, which gave much
relief. She was determined to be cured,
and kept on with the medicine, until now
eight boxes have been consumed, and she
feels like new woman.

DECLINE OF THE DUSTER.
The Practical Disappearance of n
Garment That Was once
Much In Evidence.

A traveller by rail cannot fail TO no.
tice the decline of the duster. And one
does not need to be, as the man said,
a centenariau, TO observe this. In
tact, only 80 or 40 years ago busters
were commonly worn by railroad trav-
elers. They were coexistent with the
sarpet-sack aud the alligator-mouthed
valise, both now more completely
pa assed away than the duster itself,
and almost as completely gone as the
hair-covered trunk.
The duster In it's original form was
built of brown linen, which, when
starched, stood boldly out like a gar
ment of thin and flexible, but not too
flexible, sheet metal. 1t was worn, of
course, to protect the wearer ard his
garments from the dust. When the
linen duster flourished locomotives
burned wood, tracks were sand-ballast-
ed, and rails were light, cars were not
vestibuled or provided with dust
screens for the windows, and the time
required to cover given distance was
far greater than now. A duster was
far more needed then than now, and
IL was likely to be part of the equip
ment of the casual as well as the reg
ular traveller. Indeed, IL may be said
| that the casual traveller would scarce
| ly have thought that he had made a
trip by rail unless he had provided
himself with that Indispensable part of
every travellers equipment.
Prim and stiff and sheet-irony in eff
feet as the freshly-ironed linen duster
was when first put on, it presented a
Fvery different appearance when II
had been worn for time. At first,
sat down in on day such as was then
simply called sticky or muggy, but
which in these fashionable modern
days is called humid, the duster was
creased with many creases that
seemed, later, despite the weather, to
be frozen in. And these creases, In
appearance like accordion plait:
struck by lightning, shortened the
garment somewhat. They took II up
and made it bigger around and more
bunchy.
The next effect came with continued
wear, when the starch was all gone out
of it, and the dusIeT became stringy
And il before ii had seemed to shorter
M and grow stout it now seemed to be
come lean and attenuated; to take
into itself many little rolling longi
tudinal wrinkles, to sort of shrink il
on itself sidewise, and to draw ovel
lengthwise; and by this time it ha'
probably come to hang evenly, so tina
the front corners had a dip and wer'
lower than the back of the coat. Ii
its first estate the linen duster was
if not garment of dignity. one tha
had an effect of preciseness, but il
it's last was very far from that. II
fact, it is doubtful If person of evel
the most imaginative Temperament
could conjure up anything more neg
lige in its general effect than a string
linen duster.
But the linen duster was not tn
only one. There were busters of a
paca and of mohair and of other ma
terials, some of them black and som
gray; big, flowing, comfortable dust
ers, which, if not beautiful, had a
least the grace that all things mad
of good material possess. You coul
almost tell man, without seeing hi
face, by the duster he wore.-N.

DEVOTION OF A FIANCEE.
She Patiently Taught Her Lover, Who
Through an Accident Had
Lost His Memory.

Faithful and devoted was the love of
the fancee of Rev. Thomas c. Hanna,
pastor of the Baptist church in Plants
Vile, Conn. 1t stood for many weeks
one of the hardest tests affection of this
kind can be put to, and it came out of
the ordeal stronger than ever. 1t was
this love of Miss Cooks the young
mans prospective wife, which saved
the pastor from life which would
have been spent and ended in an insane
asylum. Mr.. Hanna, who is 25 years
old, was thrown from his carriage and
struck on his head on April IS, 1897. He
was carried TO the home of Miss Cooks
father, and when he was aroused he
had no memory of anything in his life.
Though possessing mature intelli-
gence, he had absolutely no data of eX-
perience to go on. He recovered sufii-
ciently in a week to tell how the acci-
dent happened. His father, Rev. Thorn
as A. S. Hanna, was sent for, and he
and other members of the family, as
well as Miss Cook, were indefatigable
in their efforts to teach him the many
things he had lost. He gradually came
to understand that he had known all
these things and forgotten them, and
many were his earnest efforts to recall
them.
All this teaching and gradual reach
ing out after light took several weeks,
and those near to Mr.. Hanna knew that
unless the sleeping memory could be
reused years must be spent in reac-
quiring the intellectual standing he
had achieved. Finally Drs. S. B. Good
hart and b. Sidis brought him TO New
| York and had him under their close OBJ
servation in a sanitarium. In six weeks
they had effected a permanent cure.
A careful system of association of ideas
brought about the result. He went
back TO his Plantsville home, near New
Haven, on June II, 1897, and il is sup
posed the memory of his love for Miss
Cook came back with the rest. The de-
voted young couple were married few
days ago, and the whole town of Plants
vile, which was acquainted with the
circumstances of their romance,
turned out to do honor to the young
woman whose faithfulness saved her
| loved one from a life which would have
been worse than death. - Chicago
Chronicle.
