Admiral Dewey is about to
sail for home on his flagship, the
Olympia. II he lands at San
Francisco, it is questionable if he
gets to Washington alive, the
whole western part of the con-

He will need the guns of the
Olympia to keep back the press
of people. It is possible that he
may choose the eastern route and
come by way Of the Suez canal.

The NosLEsT FRIEND OF ALL.

[ have q friend. devoted, earnest, true,
One whom my soul for long years never
knew,
Though oft his voice fell on my careless
ear
In accents dreaded then, but now most
dear;
I little dreamed that all my needless fears
Would change to deepest love with passing
years.
or; then I closely scanned his earnest face,
Yet failed to recognize its nameless grace.
Nor family understood the nameIess charm
Beneath grave looks 1 fancied boded harm; :;
Charged with high duties for his Lord, the
King,
How could his words with lightsome laugh
ter ring?
But on his brow serene could rest no guile,
And there was wondrous magic in the
smile
With which sometimes his somber features
cleaned,
Some thought he knew not pity, grief nor
ruth.
Yet all his acts were kind and trimmed
with truth
Later. found that he struck off the chains
OF slaves bound down meath penalties and
pains,
Set captives free, a million wrongs re-
dressed,
Brought hope and happiness to the op-
pressed,
Lishtened harsh cares, bade wearing sor-
rows cease,
Subdued all strife and substituted peace.
And when 1 learned to know-the veil un-
rolled
From all his greatness vast and mighty
Souled,
And saw that for such sorrow as he made
His heart was saddered though his hand
obeyed,
learned to love him, saw behind his mask
And marveled at the greatness of his task
So now, with soul serene and bated breath
l reverence the friend whose name Is
Death.

not only the poor man, but the man
of moderate capital. In years gone by,
the man of energy out of employment
or the man with small capital was
able to go farming in the United States
with every prospect of securing a COM
potency for himself. But the day when
Uncle Sam was rich enough to give
every man a farm has gone by. In
discussing the question of the future
welfare of the increasing population
of the continent with Mr.. j. a. Smart,
deputy member of the interior for
Canada, who was found busy with his
superintendent of immigration in their
office at Ottawa, Canada, Mr.. Smart

minion, there is not much farming land
available, but westward of Ontario, in
the old Hudson Bay territory, now
known as Western Canada, there are
hundreds of millions of acres of the
choicest land on the continent all
ready for the plowman. There
are the provinces of Manitoba, com
prising $4,000 square miles; Assinaboia,
about 10000 square miles; Keewatin,
282 900 square miles; Saskatchewan,
100000 square miles; Alberta, 100000
square miles; Athabaska, ,0C0 square
miles; Northwest territories, 100000
square miles. Now that the United
States has filled up, 10 similar block
of agricultural lands awaiting the set
tier is to be found anywhere else.
Lord Selkirk in 1912 prophesied that
these plains of Western Canada would
yet maintain a population Of 500, O,0C0,-
600 souls. And why not? Last wear
Manitoba alone had nearly 1000, ,OGO
acres under crop in wheat, oats. barley.
flax and other grains, and potatoes and
other roots. This is undoubtedly the
coming wheat field of the world. The
yield per acre is prodigious. A late
United States consul, in one of his re-
ports from Winnipeg, wrote that when
the harvest time came the entire labor
to be found in the region was wholly
inadequate to the task of caring for
the crop. The wheat had grown so
tall and stout and was SO heavily laden
with grain that the work of threshing
and stocking was eXhausting in the eX-
treme. The strength and weight Of
the growing grain frequently broke
the reaping machines, and the utmost
exertiOn Of strong men was needed to
hand1e the great weight Of the sheaves,
In some years the average yield has
