CHILDRBN's DAH.

The members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, and es-
pecially those who met with the
children at rehearsals, have exhib-
tied the usual degree of interest in
the preparation for the children's
day exercises this year, and very
pleasant and profitable time was
had at the church last Sunday.
The handsome new church was
tastefully decorated with beautiful
flowers and potted plants, and the
day was all that could have been
desired to make the occasion a sue
cess.
The children who took a part in
the exercises seemed to realize that
it was in every essential their day,
and from the least little tot up did
their parts creditably and nobly.
The exercises consisted of songs,
recitations and interesting and ap-
propriate addresses. The offering
was good, much larger than usual.
A large and attentive audience en-
tirely filled the church from the
beginningof the program until the
final benediction, and all have pro-
nounced it one of the best services
of the kind they ever attended.

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

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. One of the
Favored Districts.
The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire
(Wisconsin) Leader is but one of many
letters of a similar character that
might be published concerning West
ern Canada, the land of No. 1 hard
wheat and the best cattle on the con-
tinent. 1t is a simple matter to reach
the lands spoken Of, the Canadian Gov
eminent having agencies established
at st. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota;
Grafton, North Dakota; Watertown.
South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska;
Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines,
Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wis
consin; Chicago. Illinois; Indianapolis,
Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie and Detroit.
Michigan; Toledo and Columbus, Ohio,
and by writing to or calling upon any
of these agents at these points full in
formation can be secured. This is
great opportunity to secure 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 CORE
spondent 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 Dominion OF
Canada. The allurements of soil that
yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
are too great to be resisted and an
immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted. People
here laughed at first at the idea Of
any one leaving the United States for
Canada. but the Dominion authorities
knew they had a good thing and they
knew the value of printers ink. They
spared no expense 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
gentleman spared no pains. He ex-
planned 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 Ike Caleb. the son of Je-
punneh. and Joshua, the son of Nun,
brought back a good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there, and others are preparing
to follow. OF course many will appear
shocked at the idea of any enc leaving
the stars and stripes for the Union
Jack. but patriotism Is but a nomen-
clature after all. and our experience
has been that in nine hundred and
Einety-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"

Getting Worse at Brussels.

Brussels, April 1.-THE sitting of
the Chamber of Deputies was charac-
terized by violent scenes. The Pre-
mier, Count De Mayer, referring to
the deplorable events, said:
1.-The appeal of the Socialists to the
population proves that it is their
avowed plan to continue the struggle.
Their aim is the reinforcement of power
and the triumph of revolution. The
government is resolved that the debate
on the revision bill shall occur in spite
of the assertions of the Moniteur So
cietliste to the contrary"
At this point in the Premier's speech
violent alterations, which nearly led
to blows, arose between the deputies of
the opposing parties. Liberals and So
cialists engaged in a sharp discussion
concerning the agreement concluded
between them for the defense of uni
versal suffrage and NJ. Demblen, a So
cialist, shouted, 1--WE are betrayed"

BANQUET TO THE president.
At Home Anywhere in the United
States.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S WELCOME.

Charleston, S. c., April 1O.-The
banquet rendered to President Roose-
welt at the Charleston Hotel, was a
fitting close to day full of incidents,
and served to gather together men
prominent in the affairs of the state,
having solely in mind greeting to the
president which should prove the sin
cerity and the warmth of feeling ex-
listing for him as the chief executive of
the nation. The banquet hall was a
bower of roses, pinks and smilax,
artistically arranged, while loosely
strewn over the tables were thousands
of violets Over 300 specially invited
guests were present.
Mayor Smythe welcomed Mr.. Roose-
welt to Charleston. and the presidents
response was listened to with the
closest attention and was interrupted
by loud and continued applause.
The president said:
'Mr. Mayor, and you, my hosts, and
my fellow American citizens: 1 should
indeed be but poor American myself
if l were not deeply touched and graft
fed by the way you have greeted me
today, in this, your beautiful city, and
of course, feel at home here. 1 think
that any American who is worth his
salt, has the right to feel at home in
every part of the United States.
Around this table l see many men
who took part IN the great war. The
war in which the younger among us
here took part was a very little one,
because it did not have to be any
bigger. But it had one thoroughly
good effect; it put the cap on the
structure that has been building while
we were almost unconscious of it and
it taught US how thoroughly all one we
were. When we got through that war
it did not make bit of difference to
us whether it was an admiral who came
from Vermont or a lieutenant who
came from Alabama, if he had done
his duty in such shape as to make us
each feel an even more generous thrill
of pride in our common nationality
The debt that we owed him had little
to do with the section from which he
came.
Il shall not try to make you any
speech tonight because, for your sins,
you will have to listen to me make one
tomorrow. 1 shall merely thank you
again with all my heart, and say to
you that L want you to appreciate that
mean every word 1 say, and meant it
deeply, when 1 tell you have been
touched, more than pleased, touched
and stirred by the warmth and hearth
ness with which you have make me feel
today that 1 am one of you.''

fected my voice that l was obliged to cam
eel my engagements. In distress, l was
advised to try Peruna, and although l had
never used patent medicine before, l sent

Words but lily describe my surprise to
find that within few days l was greatly
relieved, and within three weeks 1 was
entirely recovered. l am never without it
now, and take an occasional dose when l
feel run down. Julian w eisslitz.

ment of your case and he will be pleased to

America Gets Mexican Retail Trade.

Mexico City, April 14.-Hitherto the
supply of meat for this city and suburbs
has been almost exclusively in the
hands of the Spaniards, who have also
monopolized the grocery business.
They have stock yards in their poses
sion, flour mills, retail meat shops,
the tallow candle trade, etc. Now the
American Beef company will establish
retail meat shops on the American sys-
tenn all over the city. There is much

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the FASTING of re-
peated layers of wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs of disease that may be propa-
gated in the very absorbent and de-
caying mass of flour paste, paper,
animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent
health officers and sanitarians, urging
that such practice should be stopped
by legal enactment, and also take oc-
casion to say that these sanitarians
recommend Alabastine as a durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: "This is a
very important question. and. as it
costs nothing to avoid this danger,
why take any chances?"
How much of the alarming spread
of smallpox and other diseases may be
due to unsanitary wall coverings?
