Two Hours of Romance.

The play is on. They sit.
She sees the stage
And watches every action there portray
ed.
He sees but her, and seeing her sees all
Her face a page
Whereon the play is scriven, bit by bit;
He reads, and when she smiles, uncon-
scious maid,
His lips into the mold of hers do fall.
Love loses; on her cheek
There shines a pearl.
Love triumphs; in her eyes there sits a
song.
Dreams he If imitation claim a tear,
Then, tend'rest girl,
What, what would passion claim?-nay,
fool and weak,
You want not tears and pity, but you
TO make the love light in those eyes ap-
pear!
Below them, pipe of wood
And resined string
All vibrate softly, whispering of hope;
Then as his heart beats higher with the
thought
OF reigning king,
Burst into strains of triumph. Leap, o
blood.
The curtains down. Lights up! The
play is DER.
She signs; he signs; and romance is no
more.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINl-
BOiA, WESTERN CANADA.

"Don't Think of Coming, but Come"
To the Editor-The above is the en-
| phatic manner in which a friend III
YOrkton writes to a friend near st.
Paul, Minnesota, and it is pretty near
ly right, too, when the advantages that
Western Canada offers to those seek
ing homes are considered. The Assini-
boia district is one of the best. The
writer from whose letter we quote goes
on to say:
John, if you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can get out cheaper
when there are so many coming, and |
would not tell you to come if l thought
you could not do well, and if you don't
come in the spring you will have to so
away back, for you do not want to
think that there is no one living out
here but us. | saw nicer buildings out
here than | ever saw before, and if the
country was no good what would they
want them for? John, if you sold ev-
erything you have and came out here
you would be worth more than ever
you were before and if you can bring
your team, you can get anything you
want on tick and when they do that
with strangers they are not afraid tl1es'
can't make enough to pay for it. | saw
as nice wheat as l ever saw in my life,
and if they could not grow grain what
would the -four mill be for? And it
cost 100000"
Now, this was what Mr.. Thomas
Fitzpatrick Of Yorkton, Assiniboia
Western Canada, wrote to a friend.
There will be opened up this summer
new districts in Saskatchewan and AS
Siniboia, at low prices, particulars of
which can be had of any agent of the
Government Of the Dominion of Can
ada, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in the columns of your pa
per. Yours truly,

The former Governor returned from
Chicago the previous Saturday complain

had such pain at times that he kept to
his apartment, but he was not confined to

before the fatal attack. His son, Col.

he said a word to indicate that he was
in pain. Mrs. Tanner and her sister
darkened the windows and Withdrew to
the adjoining room to let him rest. In
a few minutes they were attracted by
his labored breathing and found him
moving as if in slight nervous convu-
sons He seemed to be soundly asleep,
and Mrs. Tanner thought he might be
troubled with nightmare. When groans,
as Of pain, followed she applied wet tow
els to his head.
Rapid increase in the paroNysms then
frightened Mrs. Tanner. She ran to the
telephone, leaving her sister with Mr..
Tanner, and called DR.. J. y. Dixon, the
attending physician. The doctor answer
ed his telephone in person and came on
a run, but the former Governor was dead
before he reached the room.
General belief is that death was due to
rheumatism of the heart, although DR..
Dixon says in Il carefully prepared state
ment that he cannot state the exact cause
and denies that the patient had any or
ganic heart trouble.
