FROM SASKATCHEWAN, WEST
ERN CANADA,

In letter written from Prince AL
bert, Saskatchewan, one of the dis
tricts of Western Canada, by Henry
Laughlin to DR.. c. T. Field, of Chase,
Michigan, and which appeared in the
Reed City (Michigan) Clarion" ap-
peared the following:
IF any one should ask you how I
like it up here, tell them am perfect
ly well satisfied; for me it is just the
place. I have as good a piece of Lard
as ever laid out doors. Wouldn't ex-
change it for the whole of Lake county,
or at least the township of Chase.
"Of course have not been here
very long, but as much of the country
as have seen. it cannot be beat any
where. We had as good crops here last
fall as I ever saw, and everything gets
ripe in good shape. We had as good
ripe potatoes as ever ate in my life.
There is no better place for stock on
the continent than here. Horses and
cattle will do as good running out all
winter here, as they do where they are
fed all winter there. Have built me a
residence and now all I want is a wife
to keep house for me. I have some
breaking already done onmy place, but
next summer I intend to have more
done and then will be ready for busi-
ness.
1--WE have had a very fine winter so
far. It has not been much below zero,
if any, except about week in the mid
die of November. It has been quite
cold the past day or two. We are in
log shanties, and they are just mud
died up on the outside, and nothing has
frozen on the inside as yet. There is no
wind or rain. just nice steady weather
all the time"

from her, so small mist was born
in the sky, wheeling and circling like
ball, although the day was wind
less. and rapidly growing darker and
more compact. So dense had it be-
come that presently it threw a
shadow on part of the sacred circle
that soothed it into twilight, though
all without, where the people stood,
was still garish day. And in the ball
of mist We're little quick stabs and
splashes of noiseless flame.
She spoke not in the priests sacred
tongue-though such was her wicked
cleverness that she may very we'll
have learned it-but in the common
speech of the people, so that all who
heard might understand, and she told
of her wondrous birth (as she chose
to name it), and of the direct aid of
the most high gods, which had en-
abled her to work so many marvels.
And in the end she lifted both of
her fair white arms towards the
blackness above, and with her lovely
face set with the strain of will, ut
tered her final cry:
20 my high father, the sun, pray
you now to acknowledge me as your
very daughter. Give this people a
sign that I am indeed a child of the
gods. and no frail mortal. Here is
sacrifice >unlit, where mortal priests
with their puny fires had weekly,
since the foundation of this land, sent
savory smoke towards the sky. I
pray you send down the heavenly fire
to burn this beast here offered, in
token that though you still rule on
high, you have given me Atlantis to
be my kingdom, and the people Of
the earth to be my worshipers."
She broke off and strained towards
the sky. Her face was contorted.
Her limbs shook. 20 mighty father"
she cried, "who hast made me god
and an equal, hear me! hear mel"
Out of the black cloud overhead
there came a binding flash of light,
which spat downward on to the al
tar. The cloven-hoofed horse gave
one shriu neigh, and one >convulsion,
and fell back dead. flames cracked
out from the woodpile, and the air
became rich with the smell of burn
ing flesh. And 10! in another mo-
ment the cloud above had melted into
nothingness, and the flames burned
pale, and the smoke went up in a thin
blue spiral towards the deeper blue
ness of the sky.
Phorenice the empress stood there
before the great stone, and before
the snake and the outstretched hand
of life which were inscribed upon it,
flushed, exultant, and once more ra-
dainty lovely; and the knot Of priests
within the circle, and the great mob
of people without, fell to the ground
adoring.

In a speech made by the Tammany
chieftain, Lewis Nixon, at a dinner
of the Virginia Democratic Associa-
ton, of Washington, this week, the
declaration was made by him, that
the New York democrats are united
and will win this fall. The speech,
it was stated, at the time, was made
in the interest of New York Presi-
Dental candidate, and it has since
transpired that Alton B. Parker,
chief Judge OF the court of appeals OF
New York, is the man he would name
as a Presidential candidate accepta-
BILE not only to all the different
factions of the Empire State, but to
democrats Of the entire country. The
scheme seems to be to elect him first
as the Executive OF the State Of New
York and with the prestige thus won
to start boom for his elevation to
the highest Office in the gift OF the
American people. Southern Demo
Gratis, it is stated, prefer Mr.. German
as the Presidential candidate but
will fall in line, if they can be con-
WINGED, that the different factions Of
New York can be so united az to en-
sure a victory for democracy in that
State in the Presidential campaign.

The duties and obligations of a
Juror were defined by Judge Davis,
of Philadelphia, in reply to an in'
curry recently made by one Of the
members of the jury who failed to
agree with the others after being out
all night. According to his views, as
appears from the following extract,a
CONTRARY" juror may often be the
one who has arrived at proper con-
clusion in the matter submitted for
decision:
lone who has reached an intelli>
gent conclusion from the testimony,
affected, as the testimony always
must be, by the charge of the court,
would be a coward if he were to sub
NIT to the dictation of the other
members of the jury, unless he were
convinced that his position was a
mistaken one. On the other hand,
the man who refuses to violate his
conscience is brave man, compel
ing respect and deserving regard. 1t
does not always follow that the
eleven men in the jury, who are jok-
ingly called the eleven stubborn men,
are correct in their conclusion. 1t
may we'll be that the single juror is
the one who had reached the proper
conclusion under the law and the
testimony.-Majorities are not often
right; frequently the minority is de-
sidedly so "

The fight over the question OF pro-
viding better cell accommodations
for convicts in the penitentiary has
been won. Both branches of the
LEGISLATURE have passed the bill ap-
propriating $1S0,0OO for increasing
the cell room at the State prison,
about which so much has been said
during the past few years. Inc
measure now goes to the Governor
and there is no question as to his
action in the matter. The credit for
this victory in the interest of human
ity cannot be claimed entirely by
anyone, as the people of the whole
State seemed to have approved OF
the movement looking to the better
treatment of the inmates Of our penl-
Tertiary, but it is generally conceded
that greater praise is due TO our
countyman, DR. LeCato, than anyone
else. The bill, it is stated, in spite
of the fact that everybody approved
the measure, would have probably
been defeated but for the vast
amount of personal work" which he
gave to it.

Danger of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
Ia grippe Is their resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens Of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for
these diseases, we have yet to learn
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusive
ly that it is a certain preventive of
that dangerous malady. 1t will cure
a cold or all attack of la grippe in less
time than any other treatment. 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

The suffrage question at last seems
be practically settled and in a way
which promises to be satisfactory 10
the majority of the people OF the
State. The end was reached In the
only way it could have been. 1t was
the privilege of the majority to say
which OF the plans submitted were
preferred by them and they did It,
not hastily, but after a protracteo
effort to reconcile their differences.
That the plan agreed upon will be
satisfactory to everyone, OF course
is not to be expected, buS as we un-
derstand it, the principal features OF
the plan being temporary under-
standing clause and the payment OF
a poll tax, there SCENE to be rea-
condolences about it which will COM
mend it to most people. Whether
it will be proclaimed or submitted 10
the people has not yet been decided.
A recess will probably be taken by
the members to ascertain the wishes
of their constituents in the matter.

The Suffrage Question.

Richmond, Va, March 26.-The
indications now warrant the belief
that the settlement of the suffrage
question is very near at hand. The
conference of the Democratic menu
bers of the Constitutional Conven-
ton to-day, by vote of IS to "a, re-
jected the Daniel, or compromise,
plan. This provided an understand
ing clause to continue until 1907 and
then left its further continuance TO a
vote of the people. AT the afternoon
session the conference made consider
able progress with the original plan
presented by Mr.. Carter Glass early
il the session. All of the indications
point to the early adoption of this
plan. The Glass scheme provides for
a temporary understanding clause to
remain in force until 1904, and the
payment of three years poll taxes.
After 1904 voters are to prepare their
own ballots and to make application
in writing for registration. All sol
diers are exempt from these require
ments. Mr.. Thorn and other leading
representatives from the. black belts
are opposed to any understanding
provision that is not permanent.

How TO Acquire Personal Influence.

Though so short, the late Queen
of England possessed a matchless
dignity, and many small women are
far from unimpressive. If you desire
personal influence only for your own
pride of possession and personal
pleasure the wish is unworthy. But
one may use such influence to make
others happier and better. Wealth,
beauty and charm are none of them
essential to the influential character;
a poor, plain and rather tactless girl
may have force enough to count for
much in her circle. Charm is within
the reach of all girls who are unset
fish and gentle.-Margaret E. Sangs
ter, in the April Ladies' Home Jour
nal.
