A FORMER AMERICAN SAYS.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their Stock.
The following letter. written by Mr..
John Cummings Of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly Of Washing
ton, to a friend in the United States,
Is only one OF hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done today by any
good. sober and Industrious farmer
who chooses to make his home In the
dominion. =.
Dear Sir: You want to know how l

Alberta. am happy to inform you
that l am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast OF
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington. Wash.
on the 18th day Of May. driving all the
way. We had time to build our
log house the first fall, and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables. lSx
20 inside, so that We could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the LIST OF December; but,
to our surprise, we had no use for the
stables only for the milk COW and two
spans of horses. The balance OF the
horses lived on the prairie all winter,
and took care Of themselves. The doors
OF two stables were left open for them
to go into in a cold time, but they
would not do it, but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had and
looked as spry as crickets.

It was taking nearly Ave pounds. Then

All can say is that It is well-headed,

In tn. Butter Exhibition Room.

At one Of the recent western dairy
conventions the air OF the room In
which the exhibit butter was scored
smelled SO strongly of pine that 1t
was difficult to catch the delicate flavor
OF the butter. says a writer in New
York Produce Review. 1t had been
raining for two or three days. and In
order to prevent the tracking Of mud
into the butter room the officers in
charge of the exhibit had scattered
coarse pine sawdust and chips on the
floor. The pungent odor Of the pine
filled the room. II was perhaps a
thoughtless mistake. but under no cir
cumstance should anything be allowed
in the butter room that has foreign
flavor The floor should be thorough
ly cleaned. the ventilation should be
good before the butter is exhibited, and
the judge should be supplied with
plenty of paper with which to clean
his trier rather than to use sawdust
for that purpose.

has never affiliated with two parties

Equal to the Occasion.

People do not often make the mis-
take of giving too much. A certain
woman who not long ago entered a
Glasgow church was an exception to
the rule-at least she thought SO. She
passed the collection box at the door
and dropped in sixpence. Then she
took her seat In the church and waited
until the preacher appeared.
To her disappointment the officIat-
ing minister was not the DIR. III. whom
she had come to hear. On inquiry she
found that she had entered the wrong
church. 1t was not yet too late to hear
the preacher of her choice, but the six
pence was another matter. To leave
1t In the box would be clear loss. The
woman was equal to the occasion.
Slowly descending the gallery stairs.
she requested her sixpence back and
received It from the officiating elder

stocking superstitIons

On the Welsh border 1t used to be
considered that the surest precaution
against witchcraft was to wear the
left stocking wrong side out. This
leads us to another kind Of superstition
connected with the harmless, necessary
hose-their value, when properly worn
or arranged, as charms or as protec-
tions against sickness or pain. III you
will only take the trouble when you so
to bed to cross your stockings and
shoes. you will be quite safe from the
grip of cramp. Again. II you hang
your stockings crosswise ut the foot Of
the bed. with pin stuck in them. you
need have no fear of nightmare; the
hag has holy horror of cross and pin.
Wiseacres have also been heard to de-
clare that II you will always put your
left stocking and shoe on first you will
enjoy immunity from toothache. This,
however. the most superstitious of NOR
tails will likely take leave to doubt.
Toothache, that "hell of a. diseases"
as Burns calls 1t, is no respecter Of per-
sons nor assuredly of stockings or legs

Then at last new time-the time of
| waking, short, sharp and not pleasant,
| as wakings often are.
Sleep and dreams exist on this con-
| dltion-that no one wake the dreamer.
And now life takes us up between
her finger and thumb, shakes us furi-
ously till our poor nodding head is well
nigh rolled from our shoulders, and she
sets us down little hardly on the bare
| earth, bruised and sore, but prefer
| naturally wide awake.
We have said in our days of dream
lag: "Injustice and wrong are a seem
| ing Pain is n shadow. Our God, he Is
real, he who made all things, and he
only is love"
Now life takes us by the neck and
shows us few other things-newmad
graves with the red sand dying about
them, eyes that we love with the
worms eating them, evil men WALKING
sleek and fat. the whole terrible hurly
burly OF the thing called life-and she
says, "What do you think Of theseW
We dare not say Nothing" We feel
them, They are very real. But we
try to lay our hands about and feel
that other thing we felt before. In the
dark night in the fuel room we cry to
our beautiful dream god: "Oh, let us
come near you and lay our head
against your feet. Now In our hour OF
need be near u.s." But he Is not there.
He is gone away. The old questioning
devil Is there.
We must have been awakened sooner
or later. The imagination cannot al
ways triumph over reality, the desire
over truth. We must have been awak-
ened. II It was done little sharply,
what matter? 1t was done thorough

An Incident of Lord Lnwrence's Sea
Voyage to India.


Voyage to India.
Lord Lawrence. viceroy of India,
was a blunt man of action. impatient
of contradiction and thoroughly self
reliant. Yet, like many of the truly
great. he had heart as tender as a
woman's. The night ON which he
started from London to govern India
he gathered all his family in the draw
ing room and made each child repeat a
fayorite hymn to him. His youngest
son. 10 years old. nestled in his IA
ther's arms. Suddenly the strong man
burst into tears.

1t was not OF the hardships before
him or of his own death he thought,
but of the fact that BERTHE would not
be child to him on his return.
On board the steamer with the gov
ernor general of India was a lady with
her infant child. She neglected the
baby, which revenged itself by crying
day and night. The passengers COM

polite.

sleepless berths.
At last Lord Lawrence, seeing that
the child was left motherless by its
own mother. took ii on his knee For
hours he would hold 1t. showing 1t his
watch and anything that would amuse
it. The child took to the great strong
man and was always quiet when he
held 1t.
"Why do you, my lord" asked one
of the relieved passengers. surprised
to see the governor general OF india
playing nurse to a crying baby. why
do you take such notice of that childT
