expense of the Now England Cop

has rendered its verdict which was
to the effect that deceased came to
his death by foul play at the hands
of an unknown party or parties.
The Mexican who was arrested
and held on suspicion was released
there being insufficient evidence to
connect him with the crime.
A Mexican named Flores, after
tanking up freely made up his
mind to kill another Mexican.
He bought a knife ut the company

met bis intended victim near the
depot and proceeded at once with
an attempt at display Of sword

A TALKATIVE CROW.
Jim, Although Quite n Young Bird,
Commands a Vocabulary That
Is Astonishing.

Samuel Seager, of Bolivar, N. j.,
has a tame crow named Jim, that
can talk as plainly as some parrots.
Jim is only 16 months old, but few
children of that age can excel him IN
making remarks. Jim was caught in
a hollow tree on top of hill near
Bolivar.
With him was his sister, and both
of them were sold into bondage, Mr..
Seager buying Jim. Now he is so
tame that he sits on the piano and
criticises when Mr.. Seager's daugh-
ter plays coon songs. Every one who
knows him wishes he could meet
Ernest Thompson Seton.
The crow first began to talk last
winter. He started in by calling
dad" and ''noo-booh." Later
papa" and mamma" were distinct
ly made out. Now he has advanced
so far that when Mr.. Seager asks
him if he wants his breakfast, Jim
replies: well, l should smile"
He will fly straight to a person
who asks him if he wants his head
scratched, if the person has been
formally introduced to him. Other
wise jim will cut him dead.
He is an impersonator, and can
make any schoolboy answer his
whistle.-N. Y Tribune.

IDENTIFIED BY HIS DOG.
Money-Order Clerk In Post OmSS
Pays on Seeing Owners Name
ON Dogs Collar.

Bank clerks naturally and neces-
sarily require satisfactory Identified
ton of persons who ask to have
checks cashed. The same rule is fol-
lowed in the post Office by clerks
who cash money orders; but what
the nature of the identification shall
be, and by whom, is matter which
rests to some extent in the discrc-
ton of the clerk. The Boston Her
aid tells story in which dog bore
witness to his masters identity.
A Boston business man called at
the postal order department the 9TH
er day to get an order cashed, but
the clerk in attendance had only re-
Gently been appointed. He said the
caller would have to be identified be-
fore payment could be made.
''Why, I have had hundreds of or
ders cashed here" he replied, with a
show of Impotence. Isn't there
some one here who knows me?"
I'm the only one on duty just now.
The others are out to luncheon" said
the clerk.
''Will you take the inscription on
my dogs collar as sufficient identifi-
cation?' was asked.
"Yes, that will be acceptable"
The man whistIed for his terrier,
and, taking him in his arms, 'boost-
ed him up 20 the window. The
clerk read the mans and address on
the collar and paid the order.

TNTN A WARM afternoon in August,
~ in the year 1776, young girl
stood watching company of raw
militia drilling. She was the daugh-
ter of Paul Hendricks, one of the
most prominent tories on the Island
of Manhattan, but although the girl
knew little of the affairs of her
country, her sympathies were with
the colonial cause.
Quite unmindful of the heat, she
stayed on until the sun had sunk and
it was fast growing dark. When
Pauline reached home she was greet
ed by the sound of angry voices, and
on coming nearer she saw her father
shaking his fist in the face of a
young colonial officer, and heard him
cry:
mo! No! 1 tell you, MOI"
At this the young officer bowed,
and said: 81 thank you, sir, for the
courtesy with which you have re-
ceived me, and will lose no time in
conveying your answer to Gen. Wash
ington."
AS the officer turned he caught
sight of the girl, and, removing his
hat, he bowed slightly.
For the next few weeks Pauline
had scarece a moment to herself.
One hot afternoon soon after the de-
feat of WashingtOn's troops on Long
island, she took her hat and stole out
for a walk. She had not walked far
when she heard strange sound, and,
pulling aside some bushes, she gave
a gasp of surprise, for there, with
his head pillowed on coat, lay the
officer she had seen talking with her
father some weeks before.
She quickly knelt beside him, and
when he spoke it was to say: II
know that l can trust YOU" The girl
nodded, and he went on: Il am
Lieut.. John Sperry, of the Fifth New
Jersey, and am carrying very i'm
portant dispatches to his excellency,
Gen. Washington, and in climbing
yonder fence fell and broke my leg,
l fear me, and now what's to be
done?" The girl thought a moment,
and then replied: Tonight [ will
| ride with them to Washington's
camp" why, it's eight miles from
here, and it will not be safe" Gail
the same I am going" replied the
dauntless girl. And then telling the
officer she would be back soon, she
ran to the house, and calling her
faithful colored servant 10, told him
the particulars and asked his advice.
''It sartanly is hard case, missy,
but L thinks we can manage some
how. Your pa out and the sarvents
is all busy, and so if you can keep
your ma out of sight of the back
way, I will carry him up to the gar
ret right now"
This Pauline succeeded in doing
without arousing her mothers sus-
picions, and then after going to the
garnet to see if the officer was com

the right troop L will give this
trinket to the captain, and he will
show it to YOU" When she arrived
home she found the house in great
excitement over her disappearance,
but refusing to give any explanation
of her conduct she was sent to bed
with an added two hours of spinnet
practice for the next week. While
the faEaily were at dinner next day
a troop of red coats rode up to the
door. VIXEN Pauline ran out the cap
tain showed her the trinket, and
while she was gone to show the sol.
diers where he was, the captain told
her father tbs whole story. The
squire was white with rage and
vowed vengeance on them. A few
weeks after this Lieut.. Sperry rode ur
to the Hendricks mansion and asked
for Mistress Pauline, and presented
her with the trinket from Washing
ton, in memory of her good service
to the country.-Washington Star.

PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer In Western Canada
~ahieyes Wonderful Success.

One of the first things that the
man who wishes to change his resi-
dence endeavors to find out is where
he may go and succeed. 1t need be
matter of little doubt or indecision
now- During the past four or five years
the development of Western Canada
has been so rapid, and the conditions
OF life there SO widely known, that up
wards of 100000 Americans have
taken up their homes there, and the
experience of these people is that
they are thoroughly satisfied with
their choice of home.
The methods of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States, but the operations are SIM
pier, the yield of grain greater, and
the profits more satisfactory. Ranch
ing is carried on with lots of success.
Mixed farming is always profitable,
while the results in grain-raising are
as certain as splendid soil, excellent
climate and lots of sunlight can give.
The yields of - but nothing is as
satisfactory as the experience of
selected from one.
A good, intelligent farmer, named
Mears, John Mears, to be eXact-left
Cavalier County, North Dakota, two
years ago, and followed the thou
sands who had already gone to Can
ada. He had twenty-five years eX-
perience in Minnesota, in buying
grain, including flax. But in all his
experience he never saw a district
so well suited to the growth of fax
as Western Canada. The financial
results of Mr.. Mears' operations in
a single season are as follows: Wheat,
5000 bushels, hard at 57Isc, 81, 7S5.00.
1850 bushels, Northern at sac, ST.,
1920; oats, 1850 bushels, at 35c,
$6125O. Speltz, 154 bushels at 75c,
1880 Flax, 324 bushels, at So, $628.
Total, $4,59S.20.-A return of more
than 81, 500 from a little over $50
acres, an average of $1S per acre
is surely testimony sufficiently strong
to satisfy the most incredulous as to
the money to be made out of the
soil of the Canadian West. 1t is to
facts like these-arguments express
ible and demonstrable in dollars and
cents, that the steady northward
movement of American farmers is
due. Mr. Mears is settled near Ar
cola, ASA.
A number of Americans who have
chosen Western Canada as home
had the idea that man enjoyed less
freedom in Canada, but they soor
found their mistake, and say the laws
of Canada are the most liberal in the
world, and such as prevent the liti-
cation which breeds so much bad
feeling between people in the United
States and costs them so dear in
lawyers fees.
