SPORT In WESTERN CANADA,
While the Farmers Grain Is Riy,eninS
and His Stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. Il noted sportsman writing of
the favorite pastime says: .sThere is
one particular spot where I saw a
man drop 20 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
iAS Poo1s, where Gue SH1pe are near
~ as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
tion of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled, and
short drive will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
"a very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fat, boggy land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothe.ing. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night You are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Stuck by Electricity.


There was an occurrence bordering
on the marvellous upon the bridge that
crosses the railway tracks at Second
avenue and University NE, Minneap-
oils. The driver of a scavenger wagon
rushed into the Second Precinct police
station and said that several horses
were stuck on the bridge and that no
amount of effort could get them across,
and the man thought some supernatu-
raj agency was the cause. The officers,
after investigation, concluded that in
some manner the bridge structure had
become charged with electricity. Every
time an effort was made to induce a
horse to move the animal was found
entirely unable to lift foot. After
considerable work the harness was cut
from the team attached to the scaven-
ger wagon and a rope attached to pull
the horses loose. Another horse at
tached to single rig was treated in
like manner, after which the bridge
was closed and an officer placed there
to prevent further happenings of the
kind. Later the officers cut the street
railway feed wire, and it was found
that no difficulty was experienced,
showing that the bridge in some way
had become charged with the electric
fluid

Crop Bulletin.

Dry weather prevailed in the Red
River valley during the week ending
May 20; elsewhere there were showers.
The temperatures were very low for
the season, with frosts the morning of
the 25th, which seem to have been most
severe in the central, southern and
eastern portions of the state; it is said
to have nipped young corn, barley and
tender garden stuff in some exposed
places, but permanent injury is not an
ticipated. Early corn and potatoes are
well up, and in southern counties are
large enough to cultivate. Timothy,
clover and wild grass promise good hay
crops.

MY LITTLE olMPLE CHEEK.

There arc days OF cnrc and crosaeS
Mixed with ledYcrs. pens and ink,
or profits ard OF losses
As the valucs rise and sink;
But when dusl. and dew Is stealing
Der The mountain and the lea,
There's childish laughter pealing.
And kiss that waits for me,
Till my burdened heart Is beating
With love 1t fain would speak.
In the clinginG and the singing
OF my little Dimple Cheek.
There's chain of childish troubles
Then unfolded in my ear.
Which to me doth seem as bubbles
On the sea of childhood clear
But we share them. both together.
Till my troubles fit away.
And we never mind the weather,
Be 1t winter. be 1t May;
For catch glimpse of sunshine
That shall hallow all the week,
In the clinging and the singing
OF my little Dimple Cheek.
Tell me what of wealth's possessions.
And the gay attendant train.
What of honor's bright concessions.
Mingnng pleasure up with pain.
What could they bring to bless me.
Realms below or realms above,
Like dear one to caress me.
And to measure out her love?
For the Lord He doth reward us
In the ways diverse we seek.
In the clinging and the singing
OF little Dimplc Cheek.

question. A gentleman present, after
hearing all the pros and cons, facetious-
ly remarked that two preachers were

that it portended evil, and that women
were responsible for most of the evil in
the world-in fact, that women were
worse than men," One of the ladies
Indignantly retorted: Indeed they

"And whom may that be?" inquired

jealous woman, for she is WEAKNESS
unto the soul of man; sometimes
through the foolish eyes of man who,
seeing much beauty, becometh blind to
it; and oftenest through the heart of
her who is faithful, but protesteth her
love too greatly, for the great love of
a woman is also a weariness unto the
soul of man.
And the graybeard gazed piercingly
upon the man, then, cackling in shrill
laughter he went on his way.
Then hurriedly the man sought the
woman, but he found the house empty
and her maidens running about in
search of her. And she was nowhere to
be found. When last seen, they told
him, she was talking to a stranger
who lately had lurked about the gates:
a creature of vast stature, with weary
eyes, and n giant frame, upon whose
brow was writ the sign: Safety"
Then the man, clapping his hand to
his head, fell upon the ground, crying
out that she had found the curse. not

that she was false, not he.

Frightening up the fat young pumpkins fit
