A Musical TreaJ.

The annual piano recital given by
the pupils of Prof. r. j. Daniels took
.lsce at Zion Baptist church last Mon
~ evening. The exercises began at s
O'Clock and a most excellent pro gram
was rendered. 1t showed the prof
iency of Prof. Daniels and the good
work he is doing as teacher of instru
mental music. The other features of
the program were the work of Mr.. J
Thomas Butler, the elocutionist; Mis-.
Mary Scott and Miss Gertrude Brown
South Washington's famous prim q
donna; the renowned choir of Asbury
NJ. Z. church, Prof. J. Henry Levi
director, never sang to better advant
age and evoked the first encore of the
evening. The entertainment was wei
attended, the church being comfortably
Fl led. Prof. Daniels is entitled tt
great credit for his work.

AT this point a cockroach as big as
a small mouse moved noiselessly across
the floor of the inspectors watch

dog but in less time than it takes a
navy man to spend his money the dog
made rush and caught the big bug.
He took it in his mouth and then
dropped it on its back He watched 1t

it up In his mouth and carried 1T out

the dog carried on these tactics and by
that time had succeeded in placing ten

A WESTERN CANADA
FARMER.
Seven Years Ago he Had But $24;
Now He Has Seventy Head
of Cattle.
This Ii What n Couple of Eastern
Farmers Learned When on a Re-
cent Trip to Canada-Splendid
Words About Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Hague Dis.
trict Where They
VIII Locate.

Messrs. J. E. Blum and j. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there Mr.. Shantz, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He. has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 10 head of cattle,
has a good log house framed over,
also good barn and in all respects
looks thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and Balgonie where the crops APP
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. Of this district they say,
"The country here pleased US better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is a wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for, a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen.
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
a good thing. AS farmers ourselves,
from a good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erly farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything. Ask for informa-
ton from any agent of TIE Canadian
government.

ANOTHER MAN. ALTOGETHER.

Valley, Mo-, Feb. 24th.-There is a
man in this town who has undergone
most remarkable physical change
in the last few months.
His name is Perry Nelson and those
who knew him but short time ago
are amazed at his present condition.
He had not been feeling well for
some time and suspecting that the
trouble came from his kidneys, which
he knew were not any too strong, he
determined to try a kidney medicine.
Dodd's Kidney Pills were highly
recommended and Mr.. Nelson began
a treatment of them. He was re-
warded by complete restoration to
vigorous good health. He says:
81 used six boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and they have helped me a
great deal. I feel like another man
and can recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills very highly"
