THE PROFESSORS STORY.

He Unhesitatingly Ac-
knOvvleged.

At recent dinner given in honor
of a certain man of letters, Mr.. Hamil-
ton Wright Mabie, who was one Of
the speakers of the evening, said, in
the course of his remarks, that pes
simist might be defined as person
who has the choice between two evils,
and selects both, relates the New York
Sun. A Columbia student who hap
pened to attend the dinner, sat, the
next morning, under Prof. Brander
Matthews, who delivered a character.
istic lecture, with statistics, on every
thing in general. During the lecture
Mr.. Matthews remarked, with the air
of man conscious of tossing off an
original jewel of epigrammatic wis
dom. "You know, gentlemen, we may
define pessimist as a man who has
the choice between two evils and
takes BOTH
The student, who was certain that
Mr.. Matthews had not been present
the evening before, looked the pro-
fessor up at the conclusion of the
lecturer, saying:
"Your definition of pessimiststruck
me forcibly, but I heard Mr.. Mabie
give the same one last night"
SIS that sop replied Mr.. Matthews
suavely. "He forestalled me by hall
a day then. We both heard it from
Mark Twain two evenings ago."

SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN
CANADA, IS CALLED THE
"CARDEN OF EDEN,"
By q Former Resident of Reed City,
Michigan.

In a letter to the Reed City, Mich
igan, Clarion, Mr.. James c. Arm
strong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan,
says, writing on eth May, 1901:
''This is 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

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 ~ inches high.
AS the western farmers are all done
seeding, branding cattle and sheep
shearing are now progressing. Wool
is only five cents a pound, and many
ranchers have on hand last years
clip. I inclose you potato blossom,
slice of new potato, which measured
81 inches when cut. This is NO
fairy tale, if we are so much farther
than Reed City. It 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 man want?"

Soon Marcus became desperate.
His business could not be neglected
much longer, neither could he return
/ to Washington without knowing
something of Miss Gregory's feelings
on the state of matrimony in general
and himself, in particular.
One afternoon he went to the cot
tage determined not to leave without
expressing his feelings; an urgent
telegram made it necessary he should
go east the following day, at the
farthest.
He chose seat next to Katydid
safely in the shelter of the porch
blind She looked as sweet as IN ap.
pie blossom in green and white
dimity dress.
"AIiss Gregory, 7 have an important
matter to discuss with you before ]
leave town." he began, hoping Mrs.
Gaines would take the hint and leave
them together.
| She continued to rock and sew on
her Battenberg lace, however, with
annoying composure.
| Marriage is a very important step
in life" he continued, gazing at Katy
dds flushed face and downcast eyes,
for she was knitting something with
fluffy whiteswool.
4''I know / thought so," Mrs. Gaines
remarked, "Oh, Mr.. Kimberley, have
you read Richard Carvel?"
Marcus darted killing look toward
her.
II have not, Mrs. Gaines"
Then he lowered his voice, and cap
tured Katydid's hand, knitting needles
included.
"Miss Gregory, I'm in love with a
certain girl not a hundred miles away,
the dearest, sweetest, prettiest-'
"Gracia Gaines!" flashed Katydid,
her cheeks fairly afame. Haven't you
got sense enough to go into the

Meanwhile Mrs. Gaines was choking
with laughter.
didn't you make me promise not
to leave you alone with him?'' she
gasped, as soon as she could speak.
Katydid hung her head in confusion,
and Marcus made a quick motion that
caused Mrs. Gaines to disappear with
swiftness and dispatch.
| "Gracious! Won't he make her walk
a chalk Incl" said she to herself.
"Still, he's awfully handsome, and I
do believe he'd have kissed her if I
hadn't stirred a step. Ill invite him
