You will find, if you keep record,
that speech causes more regret than
silence.
The man who believes everything
he hears nowadays must have kinet-
oscope intellect.
Some people seem to prefer labor
ing under a delusion to any other
kind of employment.
There is nothing that serves to in
crease our dissatisfaction so much as
the expression of it to a sympathetic
listener.
Between the upper milestone of his
outgo and the neither milestone of
his income man is pretty well ground
up in the course of year.
When a man is making his second
trip up the ladder of Success he sees
many ways how his first trip might
have been made easier and safer, but
the same conditions do not seem to
apply to his present ascent.
The fact that the world fails To
improve more rapidly than it does is
a matter of continual surprise in view
OF the encouraging reports" always
received by societies designed for the
mental and moral improvement of
mankind. -Indianapolis News.

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town GO
ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. W.
Dreamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Creamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on a por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1880 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 IA
cilities. In no wise daunted, by en-
ergy. industry and indomitable will
he has been able to surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success. and is known through
out the district as one of its preemi-
nent farmers. His operations extend
over 1880 acres, two sections (the
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy; 800 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.. Creamer is, as has been
stated, a mixed farmer of no mean
proportions. having at the present
time 40 horses, 60 head of cattle and
so pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises,
the main building being a barn SIS
feet square on a stone foundation
containing stabling for Is horses and
a large number of cattle. The loft
is stored with 20 loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons of hay; there is
also a cutting box. Another building
of large dimensions is the granary, in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 5000
bushels of wheat. A crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are a
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house. pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is a hand
some frame structure of ample pro-
portions, in connection with it is a
wood shed. The water supply is I'M
excelled; besides house supply there
is a we'll in the stables and a never
failing spring situate in bluff, which
never freezes. Surrounded by a thick
bluff of poplars, extending in a semi
circle to the west, north and east,
the winter storms are broken and ac-
emulation of snow unknown. Added
to his farming operations, Mr.. Cream
er conducts a threshing outfit for the
season. His success is only one in
stance of what can be accomplished
in Western Canada.-Baldur (Man.)
Gazette, Nov. 18th, 1899.
Thousands are going to Western
Canada this year to take advantage of
the free homestead laws that are be-

A Cautious Prophet.

Weather bureaus are seldom safe
from public criticism, for mistakes
are sure to occur; but we must give
these modern prophets credit for an
outspokenness which their forbears
were too shrewd to risk.
Mr.. Samuel Clough, who edited the
New England Almanac at the very
beginning of the last century, was a
good example of a prophet who
intends to make no mistakes.
Perhaps" says he, predicting the
weather from January 18th to the 23d,
1902, cit will be very cold weather, if
it frese by the fireside or on the
sunny side of fence at noon.''
In April he hazards: Perhaps wet
weather, if it rains. Now fair weather
if the sun shines. Windy or calm"
And in July he ventures small
advertisement for the town of his
residence:
IF now the weather do prove fair,
People to Cambridge do repair"

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary
preparation, manufactured from whiting,
chalkS, clays, etc. They are stuck on the
walls with decaying animal glue. Ala
baStine is not a kalsomine. 1t is a rock
base cement, which sets. and It hardenS

decorated without having to wash and

utilized to great extent in hospitals, as
it prevents the accumulation of dirt and

REPORT is DENIED.
Pennsy's Officials Have Not Heard of
Plan to Borrow $15, 5,ooo,ooo.

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE report
from New York that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company had arranged to bor-
row the sum of $4,000, 900 for one year
at per cent, to meet the recent trans
actions in stock purchases, notably
that of the Long Island railroad, was
denied today by Captain John p. Green,
first vice-president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and by William A. Patton, as
sistant to the president. Mr.. Cassatt
is out of the city.
"I have not heard of the statement,
and know of no such proceedings"
said Captain Green. "Such a thing is
impossible and perfectly absurd on it's
face"
Despite Captain Green's denial, it is
understood that negotiations have been
in progress during the past Ave weeks.
1t Is said here the loan.has been placed
in New York with the Chemical Ma
tional bank as intermediary at 4 per
cent, for one year, with the privilege
OF renewal for another year.
The Pennsylvania railroad. it is
stated, will issue debenture certificates
as security for it.
This proceeding, IL 1t proves to be
true, is exceptional in the history of
the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t Is be-
lieved to have been rendered necessary
by the company's recent heavy outlay
in acquiring a stock interest in the
Baltimore and Ohio to the extent of
100000 shares. in Chesapeake and Ohio
$4,000 shares, and a number in the Nor
folk and Western.
The practical purchase OF the Long
Island railroad is said to have taken
all of s6.000,00O. the shares having been
bought in at s97.
