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

In letter to the Reed City, Mich
igan, Clarion, Mr.. James G. Arm
strong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan,
says, writing on 9th May, 1901:
''This is fine country for a 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 I 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
the flowers that dot the prairies,
making them look like real garden.
We have eaten of the wild red cur
rants, and they are equal if not SUI
perior to those grown in Michigan.
We have sweet corn 71a inches high.
AS the western farmers are all done
seeding, branding cattle and sheep
shearing are now progressing. Wool
is only five cents pound. and many
ranchers have on hand last years
clip. I inclose you a potato blossom,
slice of new potato, which measured
61a inches when cut. This is no
fairy tale, if we are so much farther
than Reed City. 1t is all facts. Come
up and see. This has been truly
called the Garden of the West
With fruits and flowers, lakes and
streams, fish and fowl, beautiful riv-
ers, tracts of timber and mountains,
what more does a man want?"
Information concerning Western
Canada will be cheerfully given by
communicat ting with the agent of the
Government of Canada, whose adver-
tisement appears elsewhere.

"You don't look much like a cheer

''No; and the feeling is all gone,

to her as if there had never been an
interruption of their old tete-a-tetes
before the hall fire. She felt pretty
sure that this time he would be more
careful about expressing his disappro-
val of journalism for women. At any
rate, she would let sleeping dogs lie.
Then she remembered the cats.

sinking into a chair. ''You haven't his

"That's so, I haven't" He glanced
down at hissrather slender figure and
laughed again warm, happy laugh.
Then his eyes fell upon Ills bundles,
and he. sobered. - -
: 'Miss Fay, Irwish to consult with
you" "A fresh surprise. "Yon see,

Prof Eyer was soon on his kneestat

amused He was beside her on the
rug before the fire, and as she looked
down she could see where the damp
ness had curled his hair into soft rings
on his neck and on his temples. How
mother would have loved to run her
fingers through the tumbled locks!
Felicia conquered the temptation,
"You like cats?"
The question was abrupt. Felicia
started guiltily. Did he know? y

FAINT.
"Then you will understand why this
appealed to me-" And he held up his
purchase for inspection. 1t was. a
wicker basket, thickly padded and
lined exquisitely with blue satin, ruff
fes of white lace and dainty ribbon
bows.
For cat! Then he did not mean

"You are surprised, mich wahr, that
I should like cat so we'll. This cat
was my mothers, and I have just
received her. I wish to make her and
her wee family comfortable, and
when I saw this in window I was
delighted. It must have been made

soft and downy."
"For kittens!" Felicia smiled to

Taxing AMERICAN EXPORTS.
Foreign Manufacturers Perpetrate
Many Swind1es Through Imitat-
ing Our Productions.

Imitation is the sincerest f1attery,
says the copybook adage. 1t is seen
in the tricks attempted, the deceits
practiced and the swindles perpe-
trated by the rivals of the American
manufacturer and producer. Amer
lean oil, which, on account of it's eX-
cellence, sells for a few cents more
q gallon than the Russian and Su-
matra oils, is put up in cans weighing
80 pounds each. The Chinese, taking
care not to disturb the seal, bore a
hole in the bottom of the can, let out
the oil and substitute the Russian or
Sumatra. Thousands of empty Stand
ard oil cans are shipped from Hankau
to Shanghai to be filled with Russian
oil for the interior market, says III. E.
Armstrong, in Ainslee's.
The Chinese seem to be adopts at
cheating. They take American flour
sacks, fill them with cheap grades and
represent the stuff as genuine Cali
fornia flour. They put up cigarettes
from the rankest tobacco sweepings
in American packages. They sell the
Chinese hams, which revolt the aver
age stomach, for the fine favored Chi
cago ham. They soak labels off con-
densed milk cans, champagne, per-
fume and sauce bottles and boxes of
confectionery and stick them on an
inferior and sometimes worthless ar
ticle. The japanese have for several
years initiated a superior brand of
American condensed milk and used
the American trade mark on it.
The Japanese are notorious coun-
terfeiters of foreign goods. ''Many
standard articles" says Consul James
w. Ragsdale, at Tientsin, "are made
in Japan and shipped here for half the
price of the genuine article. They are
equal to our products in name only.
A graphophone is made in Germany
and sold here for the genuine Edison.
1t is, indeed, very poor imitation.
What, Germans in the bunco business,

that detection is not easy. One of
their tricks is to screw their own name
plates on American machines, and
they make no bones about using an
American trade mark if they can reg

"The Indians make certain article
caleld the mountain coat. They spin
and weave the raw cotton and wool
in the crudest possible way, yet the
garment is woven so closely that it is
practically waterproof. The Germans
initiate this article so well that the
Indians themselves cannot tell the
difference, and, to cap the climax, give
them to the Indians to. SELF

at Cape Town, recently, that 4,0OO,-
600 pounds of timed meats were
shipped from the United States to
England and there rebranded Sham
rock and shipped to this colony"
Nearly all the hams sold in Rio de
Janeiro as English are of American
origin.
