BRIDE IN STRANGE DILEMMA
Connecticut Woman Leaves Husband
because She Cannot Tell Him
from His Brothers.

Pretty Mrs. Louise levin, bride of
three days of Louis levin, wealthy
merchant of New Britain, Conn, has
gone home to her mother in New
York.
.sMy husb band is a triplet," she says.
"He has two brothers who look so
nearly like him that I can't tell one
from another. It's too much of a
puzzle for me, SO I think L will be
happier with my mother.
The marriage three days ago was
celebrated with great ceremony, but
the honeymoon was of brief standing.
The two brothers whom she saw for
the first time at the wedding were so
nearly like her husband in looks that
she confessed to her friends the Pc
cuEar predicament she found herself
in when the three were about at the
same time.

Do not, however, imagine that it is
only the wholesale methods that pay
well in Western Canada. I saw men
who owned only the 100 acres of land
the government had given them as a
homestead who claimed to be maxim

families and saving more money than
they had ever been able to do in the
States on the same amount of land.
Practically every one of these compare
lively small farmers whom 1 met IS
sured me that it was their ambition to
purchase more land as rapidly as they
could accumulate the means with
which to buy. They fully realized that
they could not get too much of what
they knew was good thing. There
is a vast amount of difference. in buy
ing productive land at So to SIS an
acre and at $50 to $40 an acre.
The straight burrows and the long

where, as know from my own investi-
cations made during the past summer,
farming pays and pays well.

CZOLGOSZ COLLAPSED
Had to Be Carried from Train
into Auburn Prison.
The Assassin Made the Corridors Echo
with Cries of Terror While Being
Stripped for New Ciothes--.es-
sage to His Father.

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 2s.-Czolgosz,
President McKinley's murderer, in the
custody of Sheriff Caldwell, of Erie
county, and 81 deputies, arrived in
Auburn at 3:15 a. m. The prison is
only about so yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival of the train
there was a crowd of about 200 peo-
pie. Either for fear of the crowd,
which was not very demonstrative,
or of the sight of the prison, Czol-
gosz' nerves gave out and two dep
uty sheriffs were compelled to prac-
tically carry the man into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse, and he was dragged up the
stairs and into the main hall. He
was placed in sitting posture on the
bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most abject
terror. AS soon as the handouts
were unlocked the man was dragged
into the principal keepers Office. AS
in the case of all prisoners the Off
GERS Immediately proceeded to strip
him and put on new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison CORR
doris echo with evidence of his terror.
The prison physician, DR.. John Germ,
examined the man and ordered his re-
fmoval to the cell in the condemned
row, which he will occupy until he
is taken to the electric chair. The
doctor declared that the man was
suffering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
extent.
The collapse of the murderer was a
surprise to every one. En- route from
Buffalo he showed no Indication of
breaking down. He ate heartily OF
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
II am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley." He reiterated his former
statement that he had had no &C
completes and declared that he never
had heard of the man under arrest
q in ST. Louis, who claimed to have
tied the handkerchief over his hand,
concedling the pistol with which the
president was shot. He says the
handkerchief was not tied. He went
behind the Temple of Music, arranged
the handkerchief so as to hide the
weapon and then took his place in
the crowd. To Jailer Mitchell he
sent this message to his father:
Tell him I am sorry left such q

Canton, O., Sept. 2S.-Secretary

Kinley in disposing of matters con-
nected with the late presidents es-
tate. After first meeting Mrs. Nc
Kinley the question of fling the will
was taken up. The trying task of
reading it to her was undertaken by
the faithful secretary. Mrs. Mckinley
made heroic effort to bear up and
succeeded in doing so, although the
ordeal was hard for her. She is rest

disposed Of. Judge Day and Score
tary Cortelyou then went to the Office
of the probate judge and offered the

following:
I, Ida Mckinley, widow of William Nc
Kinley, hereby decline the admintstra-
ton of his estate and recommend the ap-

natural life. I make the following charge
upon al of my property, both real and
personal: To pay my mother during her
life $1,000 a year, and at her death said
sum. to be paid to my sister, Helen Nc
Kinley. If the income from property be
insufficient to keep my wife in great COM
fort and pay the annuity above provided,
then 1 direct that such of my property
be sold SO as to make a sum adequate
for both purposes. Whatever property
remains at the death of my wife I give
to my brother and sisters, share and

Before I had acquired this informa-

way cut off a small corner of land from

There was, I should say, nearly an acre
in this little plat of neglected ground,
and asked the owner of the farm why
1t had not been put under cultiva ton.
ITO undertake to plow that little
| three-cornered strip of land would
take far more time than the land is
| worth, giving both the present market
| value. To add it to the remainder of
| the field would necessitate a longer
way around from the main road to the
house. Lying justoacross the road
there is 160 acres of S good land as
this upon which have this year grown
| more than 80 bushels of wheat to the
| acre, and I can buy that land of the
railroad for 81 an acres 1t would take
as much time to pillow that small piece,
in its present shape, as it would to
pillow two acres of the land across the
road, and SO would be what we in this
country consider a waste. of valuable
time"
Straight burrows and long ones is
the blowing rule in Western Canada,
and the gang pillow is the favorite meth
cd of turning the soil. The Western
Canada farmer, found, cultixates his
land upon wholesale methods. No
matter where he may come from. no
matter what the methods in vogue in
his native place may nave been, the
farmer inaCanada soon learns that it is
wholesale methods that pay best there,
and for this reason it is Western Cana
Ga that is the home of every improved
agricultural machine that tends to
the speedy handling of great harvests
or the production of them. These ma
chimes are not always the product of
Western Canadian inventors, but the
Western Canadian farmers are among
the heaviest buyers of this class of ag-
ricultural machinery in the world.
The Canadian farmer never becomes
land poor as does the farmer in the
States. When he buys land he knows
that it will bring him adequate returns
upon his investment, and that his gov
eminent will not put burden of taxes
upon it. As sample of what is posi-
bic with the progressive farmers in
Western Canada let me cite the case of
one living near White Plains, in Mani
toba, Mr.. Winslcw by name. During
the past season thison man had 9. zoo

vested 81, 500 bushels He makes farm
