Thousands OF Farmers Eager to Take
Up Land There.
The eyes of many American farmers
in the western states are turned to the
Canadian northwest. The figures of
the dominion government show that
10000 American farmers emigrated
from the United States to the Cana
dian northwest territories and prov
inces last year. With their families
this means an exodus of 100000 to
200 900 Americans within a twelve
month, who must perforce abandon
their citizenship in the United States
and take the oath of allegiance to
Edward VII. The wheat raising area
available in the Canadian northwest
is said to be 100000 square miles,
which is four times the total area in
the United States devoted to this crop.
AS yet only per cent of the Canadian
area is cultivated, but the yield is
one-tenth that of the whole United
States. Aside from the loss of so
many valuable citizens to this country
this movement means that Great
Britain, within a decade or two, will
be Independent of the United States

food from her own dependency, instead

HELEN GOULD THE BEST
LOVED WOMAN ON EARTH
Name Of the Great American Phianthropst Held in
Reverence the World Over-Fcrced by Ill Health to
Lessen Her Labors In the Cause of Charity

Americas best loved wOmani The
best loved woman in the world. The
titles are synonymous and belong to a
woman who has consecrated her life to
charity, and whose efforts in behalf OF
her less fortunate fellow beings have
Slapped her limited strength to the
verge of physical breakdown Now
her physician has ordered her to take
absolute rest not for a week,
month or two months, but until her
health is fully restored
When one considers the amount of
work which has occupied Miss Gould's
attention, the wonder will not be that
she was forced to lessen her labors,
but that she was not compelled to do
SO long ago. The scope of her charity
has been worldwide 1t has been so
varied as to embrace practically every
branch of philanthropic work No
hobby has confined her liberality to
one or two lines of giving. No local
pride has limited her generosity to a
particular section. Her charity has
been as unbounded in a geographical
sums expended.
Two contradictory qualities have
united in making Helen Gould one of
Inc HOsl WiuSiy hHoWn anu pSS1 iofco
women in the world. One is an ex-
quisite femininity, quick to respond to
the sufferings of others, yet shrinking
to the point of timidity. The other is
sense of right and wrong which is
Puritanical in its inf1exibility, making
no compromise for expediency's sake,
and alert and militant when occasion
demands. This first quality is exem-
1iified in her love for children, in her
numerous gifts to the poor. The other
was manifested in her determination
to clear her fathers memory and the
unyielding refusal which met the COM
promise rendered by the woman who
claimed to have been his wife. A
weaker spirit would have been glad to
hush up a possible scandal, but she
was strong enough to maintain her

Examples of Jokes Of Calhoun, Holmes,
Clay and Webster-Tirade Uttered
by John Randolph of Roanoke in the
Upper House.

John c. Calhoun, when vice pres1-

siding ofhcer of the senate, he had any
right to call Senators to order for
words spoken in debate John Ran
dolph of Roanoke abused this license
by making speech with the words:

of the Senate, and would-be President
of the United States-which God. in
His infinite mercy, AVERT" and then
launched into one of his characteristic
Trades.
Calhoun's name recalls notification.
When this was at it's most rampant
stage the northern Senators depended
largely upon John Holmes of Maine as
champion of their side of the chamber,
on account of his ready wit, says a
writer in the Century. John Tyler tried
to badger him one day by asking what
had become of that political firm once
mentioned by Randolph as James
Madison, Felix Grundy. John Holmes
