KEEPING WATERS HONEST.
Plan of Missourian Who Presides
Over an ssAmerican Restaurant"
in Mexico.

Travellers in Mexico find much to
be desired in the matter Of hotels
and restaurants, unless they happen
to be admirers of Spanish-American
cooking. To obtain home-like
cuisine, a recent visitor from New
York became a daily patron of one
of the numerous american restau-
rants" presided over by Missourian
who, avowedly. had not moved to the
sister republic altogether in pursuit
OF health. His business had thrived
to such an extent that in few
months he found himself employing
perhaps a score of walters, repre-
senting fugitive Spaniards, "greas-
ers," Indians, ex-cowboys, half-breeds
and other specimens of the human
family not famous for exactitude in
accounts.
During meal hours the hawk-eyed
Missourian seemed to keep a vigilant
watch over every part of the place
No reckoning was made of the ar
ticles furnished waiter, whose habit
it was, when patron had completed
his meal, to jot down on a slip of
paper the charge for each dish
served, as represented by the empty
plates on the table.
Collecting the sum due, the waiter
would hand memorandum and money
to the proprietor, who sat perched in
his eerie behind the counter. The
Missourian would then aim his vision
at the table, however distant, and
pretend to verify the tally. After
this he would scrutinize the waiter
in a manner meant to penetrate his
very soul, move his lips as if COM
putting figures, loudly strike the bell
in his cash register and deposit the
coins in the till

A man who had tried to live an
upright life once got to writhing
painfully around on his bed at night.

him if he desired to have her run for
the doctor, according to the Chicago
Times-Herald.
NO" he answered.; 81 am not i'll,
but I have been in terrible agony.

Then she begged that he would tell
her about his dream, and he said:
81 dreamed that there was very
rich man who longed to make the
world better, brighter world He
publicly proclaimed his belief that
he believed it was better to give than
to receive. He said from the house.
tops that one who died rich died dis

relfuls of money every day.
Having found out where this man
was dispensing the goods / went to
him and begged that he would give
me his income for just quarter of
an hour. I told him how hard I had
tried to be worthy citizen, how
Fate had always seemed to pursue
me for the purpose of upsetting my
plans, and how faithfully l would, if
he granted my request, endeavor to
do honor to his name"

like the accumulation of decayed vege-
tation and ashes for centuries (the
subsoil is a stiff putty clay)." On this
soil it is possible to raise from 40 to
so bushels of wheat to the acre; oats,
rs to 100 bushels, all Of which bring
good prices at the local market. For
mixed farming these new districts
are probably among the best in west
ern Canada. Stock fatten easily on
the wild grasses. Hay is plentiful, and
prices splendid. Another settler writ
ing to a friend in Iowa says: 1.-THE

with plenty of snow for good sleigh
ing; no high winds or billiards are

and pick their own living, while cattle
live all winter in open sheds and
around the hay ricks. Wheat, oats and
barley are the principal grain crops.
Potatoes and all other roots and vege-
tables do well, the yield being enor-
NOUS as compared to those in the
states. Wild fruits, such as strawber-
ries, raspberries, cranberries, goose
berries and all varieties Of currants

AN INHERITANCE IN WEST
ERIN CANADA.
Indian Reservations and Other New
Districts to Be Opened Up
This Year.
In the Great Saskatchewan Valley.
and the Fertile Plains
of AssinibOia.
To the Editor.

To the Editor.
Dear Sir: The past three or four
years have demonstrated to a large
number of Americans the value of the
grain-growing and ranching lands of
western Canada. Tens of thousands
have taken advantage of the offer
made by the Canadian government as
well as of the exceedingly low prices
asked for lands by the railway, col
onization and other companies. The
experience of those who have been
settled there for some little time is
of a highly gratifying character. So
much SO that the Canadian govern
ment, who has control Of the imIni-
grafton into western Canada, has de-
clded to open up some new districts
this year in the well-known Saskatche-
wan valley, and also in the fertile
plains of Assinibeia. These districts
are probably the most productive in
the entire west and in close touch to
largely settled communities, as well
as being situated on some of the most
important lines of railway. They are
within easy reach of markets. schools.

In some of these districts lands NAV
be homesteaded AS well as purchased
outright at very low prices. Now as
to what can be done on these lands.
The evidence of the settlers in the
neighborhood of the lands now about
to be opened for settlement (some of
them being located In one of the best
Indian reservations goes to show that
the very best results have followed
even most Indifferent methods. Cases
are given where farmers having gone
there with most limited means, barely
enough to erect a small house and
break up little land, have in three
or four years time become prosperous,

Peruna will be found to effect an i'm
mediate and lasting cure in all cases
of systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly
and benefcially on the diseased mu-
cous membranes, and with healthy
mucous membranes the catarrh can
no longer exist.
Mrs. F. J. Lynch, writes the follow
ing from 324 S. Division street, Grand
Rapids, Mich:
The Per una Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen-"I earnestly recommend
Peruna to any suffering woman, as it
cures quickly. Last year I had a most
persistentcoughw which nothing seemed
to cure. Two bottles of Peruna did
more for me than all the doctors
seemed to do. In a couple of weeks
found myself in excellent he alth, and
have been enjoying it ever since.
Hence I look on Peruna as true friend
to women" Mrs. F. j. Lynch.
Peruna is equally efficacious in cur
ing catarrh of the throat as in curing
systemic catarrh Or catarrh of the
stomach. Catarrh is essentially the
same wherever located. Peruna cures
catarrh.
