SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN
CANADA, is CALLED THE
"GARDEN OF EDEN,"
ny q Former Resident of Reed City,
Michigan.

In letter to the Reed City, Mich
igan, Clarion, Mr.. James C. Arm
strong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan,
says, writing on 9th May, 1901:
This is a fine country for poor
man, as he can go out on the hay
slews and cut all the hay he needs.
He turns his cattle out on the prai-
RE, and when he is not using his
horses, he turns them out also. There
is such an abundance of food, they
never wander away.
"a lady, who has lived here eight
years, told me that this was the
original Garden of Eden 1 certain
ly would believe it, if we could only
find the apple trees. But as it is,
we have many varieties of fruit
strawberries, cranberries, saskatoons,
huckleberries, red and black cur
rants, dewberries, plums, red and
black cherries, and red raspberries.
All of these fruits grow wild. Then

making them look like a real garden.
We have eaten of the wild red cur
rants, and they are equal If not SUI

We have sweet corn ~ inches high,

II guess you'll be all right now"
said Mrs. Bennett, comfortingly. Her
naturally kind heart had been
touched by the sight of some one else
in distress, and she forgot herself in
ministering to another.
at was good of you to come over"
continued Mrs. barrow. I'm afraid
it will spoil your Christmas. You
must have been getting ready for it.
! seeing it's Christmas eve"
Don't you worry. 1t amt bother
in me a Bit" responded Mrs. Ben
nett.
But something was bothering her.
1t was something in her heart that
almost sent moisture to her eyes.
But she cholled it down.
You need something to eat" she
said, "some tea and toast. And these
children must be half starved"
I'm afraid there amt much to
get" said Mrs. barrow, feebly. Il
don't know as there's anything but a
little bread"
We'll, that'll make toast"
/ Mrs. Bennett knew that Widow
barrow was poor, but she never had
known that the family were so desti-
tute as she found them to be, this
/ day before Christmas. It's dreadful"
she thought, as she searched the bare
cupboard. They're jest starvin'." A
moment later she was saying private
/ ly to her husband: "Sam, you go
! home and get loaf of bread and
some of that tea. Then you get a pat
of butter and little ham and hurry
right back with it. They're all starv-
in, sure's I'm born. l guess that's
what ails Mis- barrow. Now you
hurry"
Yes, Hannah"
The old mare seemed to realize
that she was on an errand of mercy,
and actually quickened her pace.
1t was not long before Mrs. Oar
row had her toast and tea, and the
children were enjoying what to them
was bountiful feast 1t was dark
when Mr. and Mrs. Bennett left for
home. As they were riding along,
Mrs. Bennett said:
"Sam!"
Yes, Hannah"
Them children have hung up their
stockin's."
Have they? Poor little things!"
but, Sam, there won't be any
thing in 'em. They think there's
Sanity Claus"
Il wish there was" sighed her hus-
band.
But there amt" answered prac-
teal Mrs. Bennett, land there won't
be one thing in them stockin's, unless
it's holes. Mis- barrow cried about
K. It's too bad"
There was silence for a moment.
then Mrs. Bennett continued:
Sam, there must be something
put in EN-"
How can they, Hannah?"
well, | guess there can. You go
'down to the store and get something.
| guess we can spare little"

and then he paused, almost afraid to
] tell the rest He had always been a
bit afraid of his wife.

Fifty cents, Hannah. l kind o.

Christmas present, but"
Il don't want no present. That'll
buy some candy and few trinkets
for them children. Then, while you're
gone to the store, I'll pop some corn,
and there's some red apples. You can
go over and fill them stockings"

old man, delighted The thought
warmed his kind old heart anew. and

That evening there was nothing
further said about Christmas be-
tween the farmer and his wife. BY
nine o'clock they were in bed. 1t was
Tuesday night and Thursday would
be the holiday, As he lay there, Mr.
Bennett wondered what he should do
with the 80 cents which he had saved
up to buy his wife a present. With
no Christmas, of course there could
be no present. He fell asleep, sad
dened by the thought
The day before Christmas was
bright and clear. There had been
generous fall of snow during the
night and everything out of doors
was covered with the pure white
mantle. Samuel Bennett was out
shoveling paths when the expressman
drove along, with well-flled sleigh.
Hello, there!" shouted the driver,
cheerily. Merry Christmas, Sam!
It's a little ahead of time, | know,
but | may not see you again"
Thanks. The same to YOU" an-
swered Samuel, leaning on his snow
shovel. Got lots of bundles, amt

Yes; everybody's got something"
That so? Amt come to ours yet,

chuckled at his own pitiable little at

sleigh with its jingling bells.

the other, as he fell to work shovel
ing again. 'Tain't likely wen get
anything. There amt nobody to send
it to us, that l know of"
And Hannah, looking out of the
window, echoed his thought with one
still more doleful.
"Everybody'n get something but
us" she unused. II guess Christmas
was intended for rich folks. Nobody
gets that amt got"
That afternoon about three o'clock,
a muttled-up little form trudged
through the snow and up the road TO
the Benefits farmhouse.
"Why, Amy barrow, what you do
ing here in all this suow?" exclaimed
Mrs. Bennett, as she opened the door
and saw the little girl standing on the
steps. Come right in before you
