A WISCONSIN PAPER ON
WESTERN CANADA.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One of the
FavOured Districts.

The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire,
(Wisconsin) Leader, is but one of
many letters of similar character
that might be published concerning
Western Canada, the land of No. 1
Hard Wheat and the best cattle on
the continent. 1t is a simple matter
to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana
dian Government having agencies es-
tablished at st. Paul and Duluth,
Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota;
Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha,
Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des
Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indian
apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and
Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Column
bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call
ing upon any of these Agents at these
points full information can be Sc
cured. This is great opportunity to
secure a home free of cost or if you
desire to purchase lands; they can be
bought now at prices much lower than
will exist in few months. But read
what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
To the Editor of the Leader:
"The rush of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements of
a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had
good thing and they stuck to it. Their
officials evidently knew the value of
printers ink They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one of their
ablest immigration officers. This gen
tleman spared no pains. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
of the soil from morning to night to
all corners.
"All this told in the long run. Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and, like Caleb, the son of Jepun-
neh, and Joshua, the son of Nun,
brought back a good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in q
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-
pairing to follow. Of course many will
appear shocked at the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes for
the Union Jack, but patriotism is but
a nomenclature after all, and our ex-
perience has been that in nine nun
dred and ninety-nine cases out of "a
thousand, a man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to those whom
he hates"

TO THE SONG OF A DREAM.

Earth green, and blue sky above you,
And rivera that ripple your name,
And a soul that is singing: L love you,
And dust take the REQ wreaths OF Fame!
For touch that is tender and human
Is more than all glories that CLEAN,
And the beautiful love of a woman
Sets life to the song of dream.
On seas that are Swallowed, far-faring,
In oceans dim, desolate nights,
Love marks the white shores he Is near
The shine of the welcoming lights;
And thus in life's storms behold you,
Where black seas tumultuous stream
And thankful and glad 1 enfold you
To my breast, like a beautiful dream.
Oh, tender and gentle Gods will is
In darkness, or flower wreathed morns;
1t leads US, sweetheart, to the lilies,
er Wild ways of crims oning thorns;
he Weeps Ger the ways that are human,
he 1athoms the depths of Earth's night,
AND the beautiful love of woman
Leads on to the Light! To the Light!
Earth green, and blue sky above you,
And all the world singing: az love your
While seraphim echo your name.
If stars are but myths earthward stream
ing,
And loves are not that which they seem
If to love you De only sweet dreaming,
Let me dream! Let me dream! Let me

| went up the steps of the throne on
the side from which the great capstone
was moving, and chung there afire with
expectation.
More and more violent did the earth
swing grow, though the gradations of
its increase could not be perceived, and
the din of falling houses and the
shrieks and cries of hurt and fright
ened people went louder up into the
might. Thicker grew the dust that
filled the air, till one coughed and
strangled in the brea thing, and more
black did the night become as the dust
rose and blotted the rare stars from
sight. l chung to an angle of the gran
lite throne, crouching on the upper
most step but one below the capstone,
and could scarcely keep my place
against the violence of the earth
tremors.
But still the huge capstone that
was carved with the snake and the
outstretched hand held my love fast
locked in her living tomb, and
could have bit the cold granite as the
impotence which barred me from her.
The people who kept thronging into
the square were mad with terror,
but their very numbers made my
case more desperate every moment.
"Phorenice, goddess, aid us now!"
some cried, and when the prayer did
not bring them instant relief, they
fell to yammering out the old con-
fessions of the faith which they had
learned in childhood, turning in this
hour of their dreadful need to those
old gods which, through so many dis
honorable years, they had spurned
and deserted. 1t was curious criti-
cism on the balance of their real re-
ligion, if one had cared to make it.
Still heavier grew the surging of
the earth, and the pavem INT of the
great square gaped and upheaved,
and the people who thronged it
screamed still more shrilly as their
feet were crushed by the grinding
blocks. And now too the great
pyramid itself was commencing to
split and cape and topple. The roofs
of its splendid chambers gave way.
and the ponderous masonry above
suffered down and filled them. In
part, too, one could see the destruc-
ton now, and not guess at it merely
from the fearful hearings of the
darkness. Thunders had begun to
roar through the black night above
and add their bellowings to this
devils orchestration of uproar, and
vivid lightning splashes lit the flying
dust-clouds.
1t was perhaps natural that she
should be there, but it came as
shock when flare of the lightning
showed me Phorenice safe out in the
square, and indeed standing not far
from myself.

LEGATION.
Il feel it my duty to make public
the facts of my recent illness and re-
covery. l was very sick and sore, and
had to walk with the aid of two
canes. 1t was a very painful attack,
but l don't know what it was. Some
said it was Lumbago, and others that
it was Sciatica or rheumatism.
81 was told to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and began a treatment. After

one cane, and after two boxes were
used l could walk without any help.

completely.
Il am now well and happy without
pain or an ache and / can very truly
say that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
worthy of my greatest praise

MERELY MENTIONED.

The earliest mention of a double
Christian name is that of John Philip
Curpel, of Fineham, in 1868 a. ID.
The word infantry" was first used
by the Spaniards to designate the
bodyguard of the ''infante," or heir
to the Spanish throne.
An automobile truck is now en-
ployed for moving iron safes. 1t has
two propelling motors and third
elevates the safe to it's place in the
building. 1t requires three men and
6R minutes to place a safe on a sew
enth floor. Formerly it required
eight men 21% hours.
y motor sleigh propelled by spiked
wheels is patented in Germany. 1t is
a curious synchronism with the in
vention of a Chicagoan, l. III. Whip
pie, who appeared on the streets aft
er a recent snowfall upon his motor
cycle. In place of the front wheel
were pair of runners, and the con-
trivance attracted great deal of at
tentiOn.

Had Narrow Escape.

Three firemen had a narrow escape
in a fire that Quilted the engine-room
of the Paine Lumber company's sash
and door factory in Oshkosh. The roof
gave way and they were precipitated
into the engine-room. All were IN
jured, but not fatally. The fire caused
a damage of about $4,000. The build
ing was injured for $4,000. The COM
pany carries blanket policy of $413,-

A disastrous wreck and fire occurred
at Turtle Lake Junction, 13 miles south

south-bound Omaha twilight limited

baggage and day coaches and crashing
into the Union depot, setting the build
ing on fire. and the structure and cars
were consumed. Baggageman Morgan,
of Minneapolis, was the only one in

A S spring medicine Peruna is a
II never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
II the blood through digestion, and
gives tone to the whole system by III
creasing the nutritive value of the
food. Spring fever" as it is some
times called, which produces a tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do
much mental or physical work, is the
result of a sluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna
has is due to the fact that in all such
cases it at once corrects digestive de-
rangements and enriches the blood by
purifying this very important source
of that vital fluid.
