THE BEST HE EVER SAW.
Il Missourian PrOnounces- ON the
Farming Possibilities of
Western Canada.

just at present considerable inter
est is being aroused in the fact that
few new districts (of limited acreage)
are being opened out by the Canadian
Government in Saskatchewan and As
siniboia (Western Canada), and any
information concerning this country
is eagerly sought. Mr.. w. r. Corser.
of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., No., was
q delegate there during last summer.
and writing of his impressions he
says:
81 found surprising yields of grain
of all descriptions. One farmer Wis
tied threshed of ITS acres:
900 bushels of wheat from Is acres.
40 bushels to acre.
800 bushels of barley from 10 acres.
$1,000 bushels Of oats from $50 acres.
100 bushels to acre.
'The samples were all No. L.
ST also saw a considerable number OF
stock. Swine do well and there is no
disease amongst them. They are q
good source of income to the farmer.
The cattle on the range beat anything
I ever saw. Fat and ready for beef.

nutritious grasses of the prairie. am

and heavy footsteps came along the
broad board walk, the woman straight
ened suddenly and, noiseless as before,
hurried back across the room and came
face to face with the daughter of the
house.
ooh, Miss Folsom!" she faltered, her
bosom heaving in violent agitation. 81
did not know you were here. Excuse
me" and fastened out of the room and
up the winding stairs.
'sPappoose" never hesitated. Coolly,
quickly, she stepped to the window.
Maj. Burleigh had just reached the top
step and was exchanging greeting with
his host. The stylish team and glisten-
ing wagon were just spinning away.
It'll be back in five minutes" she
heard the quartermaster explain to her
father. ''Newhall has to meet some
people coming in by stage from Green
river. thought I'd rather spend the
time here"
And on the back seat, affably waving
his hand in adieu, and jauntily lifting
his rakish forage cap in salutation gen.
eral to any of the young ladies who
might be watching, sat the gentleman
whose regiment was in louisiana while
he was up here on leave looking after
mining investments.

LOVES VICTORY.

Dnarmed. Love wins her bloodless battles
here
Against her stubborn foes:
She conduers Hate, and routs the coward
Fear,
And swiftly overthrows
Proud Self and blind Ambition. She de-
thrones
King Greed, whose worldly sway
Has ruled mems minds in all the earth
ly zones
From the remotest day!
She toileth in the silences to gain
The victory DER Wrong;
Grim Avarice resists her power in vain
Her power, a heart-born song!
SHE worketh with her miracles to CLEAN
Mems thought and to restore
That which, they yearn to know or the
Unseen,
To their souls sight once more!
o Love, how mighty shall thy triumph
be,
Which now hath but begun:
Look where thine adversaries turn and
flee
Before LIES dawnins sun!
As vapors vanish fore Aurora's beam.
When day dfsperses night.
SO disappear before thy power supreme
The enemies of Right!
Unarmed, Love comes and scatters far
and wide
The hosts of selfish sin:
All, with what grandeur doth her rising
tide
Ger life's dark shoals flow in!

j oppressed the girl, and, starting up.

OppreSSeQ the girl, anu, starting up
she cried:
Its simply wicked of me staying
here and letting poor papa be bored
to death. Do come down, Jess, dear
unless you're too dreadfully sleepy
He acts just as though he intended
never to CO."
And Jess promised reluctantly to
come down in ten minutes, if he didn't
leave; but she hated him, and had
hated him ever since he spoke so of
Marshall in the car three days before.
The upper hall had been quite dark
when Miss Folsom went up to inquire
how Mrs. Fletcher was, just after
luncheon. The door to her little room
was tightly closed. The blinds in all
the other rooms aloft were drawn
against the glare of the sunshine in
the cloudless atmosphere, yet now, as
Pappoose stepped suddenly out upon
the landing, she was surprised to see
that the upper floor was much lighter
than when she went up half an hour
earlier. The maid had not gone thith-
er from the kitchen, and Mrs. Fetch
er wished to doze. Who, then, could
have opened both blind and door and
let in that flood of light? Impulsive-
ly the active girl few up the winding
stairs to the third story, and some one
suddenly withdrew from the balcony
rail, and an instant later, as Miss
Folsom reached the top, all became
dark again. Mrs. Fletcher's door had
unquestionably been open, and was
now shut to. She must have been out
there listening, and gravely the young
girl asked herself what it meant
Mrs. Fletcher's agitation in the Ii
brary that morning as she peered out
at the MAJORS wagon; her absence
from luncheon on account, as she
pleaded, of not desiring to appear
when company was present; and now.
despite her desire to sleep, her vigil
at the third-foor landing, where she
was surely listening to the sounds
from below.
Pondering over the facts, Elinor
Folsom slowly retraced her steps and
went downstairs. She reached the IL
brary none too soon. Old Johns eyes
were closed and he was slowly top
ping, overcome with sleep. The sound
of her CHEEKY voice aroused him, and
he started. guilty and crestfallen.
Burleigh's heavy face frightened
visibly at her coming. He cared no
more for music than does a cat, but
eagerly followed her across the broad
hall into the parlor when she suggest
ed showing him the beautiful piano
papa had given her; and old John
blessing her, 1urched for the sofa,
buried his hot head in pillow, and
was asleep in ten seconds. Maj. Bur
leigh was alone with the lovely daugh-
ter of the veteran trader. He was a
man of the world, she an unsophisti.
cased girl just out of school-so said
Burleigh, albeit most charming one;
and he, who had monopolized her time
the entire morning, bore down once
more upon his prize.

CHAPTER x.

Three mortal hours" said Miss Fol-
som to her fond little school friend and
chum that afternoon, shave had to sit
or stroll with or listen to Maj. Bur-
leigh. never once was able to enjoy
the view. What made him hurry us
away from the northeast point, do you
suppose?"
''Did you notice that, Nell? did,
too, and I was so interested in the view.
Away up toward Laramie peak could
see something through the glasses that
looked like lot of little ants crawling
along together. It was just after that
just after we looked through the
glass, that he marched us round to the
other side. The view toward Green
river isn't half as pretty"
'And now he's telling some in
terminable story to father over their
cigars. What shall we do if he hangs
on? Father will have to ask him to
drive with us to the fort, and there
won't be room.'
"Unless Mrs. Fletcher gives up her
seat" said Jessie, demurely.
'Mrs. Fletcher isn't going. A very
different person takes her seat to-day,
Jess. Father left note for Mr..
LOOMS at the hotel and he accepted.
Now you see why I don't want Maj.
Burleigh.'
It was then long after three o'clock.
At five they were to start, and Jessie

His Music.

The secret of success is to believe in
the thing that one is doing. Because
he innocently expected nothing but
compliments, an Italian organ-grinder
easily got out of difficulty. He had
been playing before the house of a
very irascible old gentleman, who furi-
ously and with wild gesticulations or
dered him to "clear off," The organ
grinder, however, continued to grind
away, till finally the old gentleman had
him arrested for disturbance. AT the
police court the magistrate asked why
he did not leave when requested to do
so. "Me no understan' much Ingleese,"
was the reply. WELL" said the magis-
trate, 'but you must have understood
what he meant when he kept stamping
his feet and waving his arms" NO.

The Shirt Mediums.

The Occasional Visitor-I have noted
that these clever spirit mediums who
can make chairs and miscellaneous
furniture dance hornpipe always call
in a very material drayman when
they want to move the piano.
The Artist-You recollect the
Frenchman who asked an Irish me-
dunn to produce the spirit of Vol
taire? Voltaire came forth, much
to his admirers delight. It was Vol
taire complete in every detail. The
Frenchman began an animated con-
versa ton in their native tongue. The
shade did not respond. At last the
Frenchman grew exasperated and
turned to the medium.
"Not can re great Voltaire con-
