NORTH

Geo. Elmslie returned from his
visit to the Manitoba capital Tuesday,
where he witnessed one of the most
successful fairs ever held in the Pro-
vince. He pronounced the display of
stock aud grain a grand M and the
amusements hard to beat. While
taking in the sights of Winnipeg he
visited the famous riding school where
recruits for the Canadian mounted
police receive their training. He al
so obtained q glimpse of some of the
Douk abours who broke Loose last fall,
and are under government surveil-
lance. They are a fanatical, IN
couth lot and resemble in habits of
cleanliness our own American Indian.
From Winnipeg, Mr.. Elmslie pro-
ceeded to Regina, the capital Of
A%ssiniboia, quite a distance north of
which lie the tract Of 5000 acres,
owned by a Devils Lake syndicate, of
which Mr.. Elmslie is a member. He
returned we'll satisfied with the pros.
poets for a good crop, and for The
ultimate advance Of prices in that
vicinity. Settlers, he says, are not
pouring in so lively now as formerly,
but the country is on a solid financial
basis, and will enjoy substantial pros,
perity. While at Craik, a small
station north of Regina, he met I. N,
Walker, who is drumming up things
there for the Kent Realty Co., O.
Grand Forks. L. N. had been il
Assiniboia for about five weeks, ant
was rather homesick for a view of tn
city on the Red once more.

BADLY
HURT

Mrs. L. L. Stenseth was thrown
from a buggy near her home IN Mime
waukan township last Saturday, and
sustained quite severe injuries. Mr..
Stenseth was driving with her at the
time in the direction of the city,
when the horses made a slight jump,
slipping the seat, and throwing his
wife to the ground. She was taken
back to the house quite badly injured
in the back and shoulders. She is now
getting along nicely under the care o.
an experienced physician.

TIME


A Breezy Time company gave a
first class vaudeville performance at
the opera house Wednesday evening.
The entertainment is gotten up for
laughing purposes only and as such is
certainly a success. The house was
we'll filled, and everyone, except
those who had come expecting a grand
opera or high class tragedy, left we'll
pleased with the show. All the
specialties introduced were good and
the company is made up with some
first class vaudeville performers. It
was a clean, wholesome show through
out, and merits a good house where
ever it may 60.

Not to BE Trusted

1t is an old joke, based on solid fact,
that the man of letters is regarded by
the man of affairs as a person hardly
to be trusted in the ordinary rela-
lions of life. The English author, PETIT
Ridge, told in a recent lecture before
London audience some new stories
of the literary man and his reputation
among plain honest folk.
A man went to the country to take
a house. He saw the farmer, and car
ried through the preliminary negotia-
tons with satisfaction on both sides.
Presently he asked. Should you like
some references
mo, no." said the farmer. genially.
You are gentleman. | can see
traightforwardness written across
your face. Don't bother about the ref
erences. l expect you want to get
sack to your business in the city"
II have no business in the city"
"Oh. then" said the farmer, II sup
pose you have business outside the
city"
mo, | am an author"
WHAT cried the farmer. "Not an
author that writes books"
yes"
A look of doubt crept over the farm
er's face. "Well. WELL" he said. ito
turn back to the business we were
talking about, | think, after all, I'll
have to trouble you for one or two
references"
Thus the literary prophet is without
honor in the country. He is also a
poor thing In the eyes of the serving
class. Jerome X. Jerome's servant
gave notice that she intended to leave.
Her mistress demonstrated and asked
her why she was going.

come into the house Of gentleman.
