Come, now" the conductor inter
luptcd. its either pay or get of"
BY this time the car had gone three
blocks, and the passengers We're be-
ginning to grow interested. Still the
little old woman t~emporized, and still
the car sped along. Finally the con
d~uctor's patience gave out, and, ring
ing the bell savagely, he stopped the
car and made the woman get out.
Then it was that she revealed her
little scheme.
Goodbye, conductor she said,
pleasantly, and I'm very much
obliged to you for the ride. I'm go
ing to keep getting on and off ears till

Looking back, the passengers saw
the old lady hail the next car and
climb aboard. The conductor frown-

said.

Dealing with Crimes In Canada.
(From the Chicago Times-H Herald on Jan. II
1DO1l

(From the Chicago Times-Herald on Jan, II,
1o0l.)
The citizens Of the Dominion of Can
ada have just cause TO be proud OF their
record as law-abiding people. The an
nual report Of the criminal statistics of
the Dominion, which has u population
Of ove 100000, shows that there
We're only twenty-five indictments for
murder in 1899. of which only two
We're left without final action. Eleven
of those indicted We're hanged nine ac-
quilted and three confined as insane.
Canada is a country of vast proper
lions. Its people are scattered over a
wide stretch of territory. making police
surveillance particularly difficult and
in many districts impossible. Iet Il
city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes "A far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
Of territory from Quebec to Vancouver.
The Canadians aScribe their immu-
nifty from crime to the promptness With
which punishment is melted out 10 of
tenders. When Il n is caught red
handed in the act OF robbing another
he Is not released on straw bail by
some justice of the peace from the
slums, to go out and repeat the o~tfenSe.
Sharp and sure justice is melted out 10
criminals of all kinds. the result being
that when the guardians of the public
peace succeed in bringing a thug 10 the
bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him a second time.
Furthermore. there are few court de-
lays in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
cases owe there. There are no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted. appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die Of old age or opportunities for cor
ruptlon can be found.
Nor does this swift method CO treat
ing with wrong doors in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves. They have all the oppor-
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend 70 them The extent 10
shield the guilty Is lacking-that is all.
The above taken from the editorial
column q, the Times Herald gives some
idea of the immunity from crime thai
exists iu Canada, and this is one OF the
many inducements held out for Amerl-
cans to settle In the district known as
Western Canada. The season OF 1901
will see a few new sections OF the coun-
try opened mp for settlement. They are
attractive In every respect. II Is under
stood that one Of the best Indian re-
serves in the famous valley of The
Saskatchewan will be opened up this
year. and an invitation * extended TO
those desiring homes 70 make Inquiries.
The price of the land is said to be nom
inal. Besides these lands. the several
railway companies have lands 10 sell;
also the government. For particulars
write TO the agent Of the government,
whose advertisement appears else

CHILDREN IN HOLLAND.
Little Lads and Lassies in a Scheven.
inQcn kinderQarten.

Wandering through the crooked
streets of the little fishing village OF
S~cheveningen, from which the famous
Dutch watering place takes its name,
| hear many shouts of laughter issuing
from a garden inclosed by high walls,
The gate wGs open and | peeped in.
My curiosity was rewarded by ole OF
the sweetest sights ! have ever wit
messed. About twenty little Dutch
maids and lads, their ages varying
from 3 to 6 years, were enjoying a
game of ordinary American tag, while
a little attendant of about II stood by.
busily knitting while she watched
them. A bell sounded. They all fell
in line behind the little knitter and
walked demurely, two by two, in a ser
pentine line around the garden and
disappeared in a long hail, at the
door of which each child took off its
little wooden shoes and held them in
one hand behind its back.
Meantime the principal came out
and invited me by signs to enter. In
the hall | noticed the little sabots laid
OF ierly, side by side. There were
three halls in this kindergarten. In
each were fifty children, between the
ages of 8 and 6 years-the girls in
gowns to their ankles, held out in bal
loon fashion with haircloth petticoats
little white shawls pinned over the
shoulders and caps covering their
straight yellow locks
AT this free Kindergarten the chill
dren of the fisher folk. many of then
fatherless, derive all care and atten-
ton. They are taught by the same
methods used in Germany. All seemed
bright and happy. In n room they
were singing quaint little nursery
rhymes about boats. So one little fel.

across the floor, rolling like a sailor,
