markable. He was visited by Miss An

She agreed, and he at once handed
her a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, say

that at times my right arm seemed

Dealing with Grimes in Canada.
From the Chicago Times Herald on Jan. 1.



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 a population
of over 100000, shows that there
were only twenty-five indictments for
murder in 1899. of which only two
were left without final action. Eleven
OF those indicted were hanged, nine ac-
quilted and three confined as insane.
Canada is a country of vast proper
tons. Its people are scattered over
wide stretch of territory. making police
surveillance particularly difficult and
in many districts impossible. Yet a
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 to of
tenders. When a man 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 offense.
Sharp and sure justice is melted out to
criminals of all kinds, the result being
th3- when the guardians of the public
peace succeed in bringing a thug to the
bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him second time.
Furthermore. there are few court de-
lays in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
cases over 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
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method of treat
ing with wrong-1Oers in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves. They have all the ,oppor-
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend TO them. The extent to
shield the guilty is lacking-that is ALL
The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times Herald gives some
idea of the immunity from crime that
exists in Canada. and this is one of the
many inducements held out for Ameri-
cans TO settle in the district known as
Western Canada. The season of 1901
will see few new sections of the coun-
try opened up for settlement. They are
attractive in every respect. 1t 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 is extended 10
those desiring homes to 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
