CHAPTER KY

On Monday night Dick came back from
down below" little dreaming of what
had taken place during his absence.
On his way to Mr.. Boone's he met sew
eral men.
1t was about nine o'clock, and so dark
that he did not recognize any of them.
But they recognized him.
They halted shortly after they passed
him and held hurried consultation.
Then they turned and followed him.
"HeIlop' called out one of them as they

Dick knew the voice. 1t was Bill

Fighting IntelIIgence.

On the battlefield nowadays ii il only
when men come to the bayonet charge
that they fight shoulder to shoulder. In
order to minimize the risk of their
being hit the men fighting are at other
times kept distance apart. Thus the
bullet that just misses oneman does not
strike his neighbor. The order being
so open, and the men thus spread out
over n considerable extent of ground. it
sometimes happens, especially when
as in the present war-many officers
are killed, that number of men find
themselves without any commander.
But the modern soldier has enough
lighting intelligence" as il is called.
to go ON carrying out operations tai he
again has a leader. In battle the men
under various commanders often get
thoroughly mixed up; but that has no
effect on them. They instinctively obey
any commander; and in South Africa
it has recently occurred that soldiers
have fought CALAMITY under officers
whom they never in their lives saw be-

A Succ ssrul Farmer.

Within three miles of the town, go
ing eastward, is the farm of Mr.. w.
Dreamer, one Of the municipality
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1.2S0 acres.
In common with many Others OF a
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to the
absence of railway and market facili-
ties. In nowise daunted, by energy,
industry and indomitable will he has
been able to surmount all obstacles
and has achieved an unparalleled sue
cess, and is known throughout the dis
trict as one of its pre-eminent farmers.
His operations extend over 1,2S0 acres,
two sections (the thought alone of so
much land makes the Eastern farmer
dizzy: 500 acres of this is broken and
the remainder is excellent pasture land
and wood. This harvest he took off a
crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of
other grains. -Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Dreamer is, as has been
stated, mixed farmer of no mean pro-
portions, having at the present time
40 horses, 60 head of cattle and 80 pigs.
The most modern farm buildings are
found on his premises, the main build
ing being barn 90 feet square on
stone foundation, containing stabling
for 16 horses and a large number of
cattle. The loft is stored with 20 loads
of sheaf oats for feed and tons of hay;
fhnra tc oIc no
building of large dimensions is the
granary, III which, after teaming large
quantities TO market, he still has stored
1900 bushels of wheat. A crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are a
number of lesser buildings containing
chicken house, pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is hand
some frame structure of ample pro-
portions, in connection with it is a
wood shed. The water supply is unex-
celled; besides house supply there is a
well in the stables and a never failing
spring situated in a bluff, which never
freezes. Surrounded by thick bluff
of poplars, extending In a semi-circle
TO the west, north and east, the win
ter storms are broken and accumula-
ton of snow unknown. Added to his
farming operations, Mr.. Creamer con-
ducts athreshing outfit for the season.
His success is an instance of what can
be accomplished in Western Canada

Thousands of settlers are going from

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1900-04-17

In Marmontei's tragedy Of Cleopatra,
represented in the Theatre Francois,
when the Egyptian queen was about
ready to commit suicide. she held in her
hands mechanical asp of cunning
workmanship, devised by yaucanson.
the most ingenious mechanician of his
time.
This venomous reptile reared its head
and. before plunging its apparent fangs
into the arm of the actress. gave a
shrill hiss. A spectator hereupon arose
and left the house. with the simple but
expressive remark, 81 am of the same
opinion as the asp.'
