Not His Fault at All.

They were quite newly married and
she was much too young to under
stand that man takes little interest
in shopping expeditions.
She had left his side to look in a
window in which we're exhibited some
winter nantes which were lust
lovely" When she returned she took
the arm which seemed to be half
grudgingly proffered, and sobbed:
"You-don't even lo-look at any
thing. I want you TOTO see. You
do-don't care how am dressed. You
no longer lo-love me. You haven't
even ker-kissed me for a whole day,
and you"
Il am extremely sorry, madam, but
that is my misfortune, not my fault"
said the gentleman, looking patheti-
cally down into her face.
She looked at him and gasped She
had taken the arm of the wrong man.

LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE-
OuIRED.

Owing to the recent large influx of
population into Western Canada it has
become absolutely necessary in many
parts of Manitoba, Assiniboia, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta to increase the
school accommodation. In may places
buildings have been erected that are
only half-occupied. This is perhaps as
good evidence as will be found not
only of their satisfaction with their
present school system and their con-
fidence that it will remain as 1t is, but
also of their firm belief in the future
expansion Of the country, in increased
immigration, and 1t further indicates
that they have little fear that the well
established rate Of births in civilized
communities will not be maintained
there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great induce
ments, which are opening up the new
settlements. Agents of the Govern
ment of Canada are actively at work
in different portions of the States for
the purpose of giving information to
possible settlers, and advertisements
are now appearing in large number
of papers, giving the names and loca-
lions of these agents.

A Wonderful Cure.

Wright City, Mo-, Dec. SO.-Medica
men are still wondering over the
Symes case, which has aroused such q
widespread interest in this neighbor-
hood
Mr.. Joseph G. Symes had suffered
very severely from Inflammatory Rheu-
matism, enduring pains which were
something terrible and which made II
altogether impossible for him to work
by day or rest or sleep at night. In
spite of all treatments he grew worse
and his case seemed to defy all the
usual remedies.
He began treatment of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and very soon noticed a
marked improvement, which increased
as he kept on till six boxes were used
when he found himself without trace
of pain or ache. He is now able to
work all day and sleep all night, and
his rapid and coIrplete recovery Is re-
garded by the doctors as little short of
a miracle.

Use Knives In Ouarrels.

In Burmah in Ceylon, and, though
fortunately in lesser degree, in
Madras, quarrels are constantly oc-
curing in which knives are brought
into play and serious wounds inflicted,
resulting more often than not in
death. The knives used in Ceylon are
Sheath knives, and for long the law
abiding portion Of the community has
been trying to get the authorities to
insist on these knives being made with
a button on the tip. They would be
thus rendered harmless for stabbing,
while still available for legitimate use.

Of vast Importance are pending. Il
it be true that the presiding officer
of the house is endeavoring By direc-
ton or indirection to hinder or de-
feat the omnibus claims bill, he is
rendering the country good serv-
ice. That bill contains an aggrega-
ton of claims amounting into the
millions. Some of them are meritorl-
Gus, but many of them are lacking
in merit. Many thousands OF dollars
of the money of the people are some
times frittered away by conservative
statesmen, in order that claims OF
merit may be allowed. This is true
of the omnibus claims bill.
The people must not suppose that
their Representatives are personally
interested in these claims, nor that
