THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
 FOR WESTERN CANADA.

"There will be thousands of Amer- jeans coming up here in the Spring." was the remark made by farmer from the vicinity of Langdon, North Dakota, when he arrived in Ninni- peg, Manitoba, the capital of West. ern Canada, few days since. He was the advance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already invested in several farm ing sections for himself and others and purposes to take up his perma- nent abode in this country. He went on to say: "Hundreds are coming from my district alone. 1 know this to be a fact, for many of them are neighbors of mine. The chief topic of conversation with the farmers is the coming Immigration in the spring.
 'The impression general in the part of Dakota where l live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian, has not prevented peo- pie from turning their eyes to Cam ada as place to live in. They know they can get land in this country which is every bit as fertile as that in Dakota at about one-quafter the price. It is safe to say that the exodus from Dakota into Canada this year will exceed the expectations of all Canadians.'

How an abSCeSS in the FallO= plan Tubes of Mrs. HOllinger was removed without a surgical operation.
 "I had an abscess in my side in the fallopian tube (the fallopian tube is a connection of the OyarieS). l suffered untold misery and was so weak 1 could scarcely get around. The sharp burning pains low down in my side were terrible. My physi- clan said there was no help for me unless 1 would go to the hospital and be operated on. 1 thought before that I would try Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound which, fortunately, did, and it has made me stout, healthy woman. My advice to all women who suffer with any kind of female trouble is to commence taking Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once." MRS. IRA $. HoLLINGER, Stilvideo, Ohio-s s5ooo forfeit # original of a5oue letter prouing genuinencss cannot be produced
 1t would seem by this state ment that women would save time and much sickness if they would get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and also write to Mrs. Pi1lkham at Lynn, Mass, for special ad- vice. 1t is free and always helps.
 No other person can give such helpful advice as Mrs. Pinl5ham to women who are sick.

Mk\N people to enJoy themselves, ana Gy for the more mature to make 1ools of themselves. Children will send valentines, and mask themselves behind the missives, so that the re- ceivers can only guess who sent them.
 The folks who are a little older will gratify their mean feelings and bitter hatreas by sending valentines which will wound and cause tears of sad ness or of rage. They who send such valentines are worse than mean, they are cOwardly.
 The windows of our stationery stores are filled with prints of all sorts; just as they are in your vicinity. The mails are filled with missives of this valentiney character; even the po- tent, grave and reverend seigniors, commonly called statesmen, are re- ceiving their share.
 Senator Stewart, of Nevada, talks very learnedly about this singular GUS tom, saying: Just as there were eight kings named Henry, and seven named Edward, so there have been numerous individuals in history named Nalen- tine, or Valentinus. My recollection is that there were 52 saints named \alentinus; but there are not less than three particularized in history. The first was q presbyter and martyr, and, according to the Roman tradi- tions, he lived during the third cen tury of this era. The emperor Clau- dius Gothicus caused him to be chained and tortured until reconverted to idolatry. One of the daughters of his jailor was blind, and Saint Valentinus caused her sight to be miraculously restored, whereupon the whole family was converted to Christianity. An other jailor, however, continued the torture until finally the saint was be- headed, on February 14. A. D., 24O. Special services are held in memory of him in Catholic churches until this day.
 "Valentine the Second," continued the senator, twas also a martyr, and was a bishop in the church. Some time in the fourth century Valentine restored to physical perfection the de- formed son of Greek scholastic, and that miracle caused the coming of many thousands into the Christian fold. When the church canonized him the 14th day of February was set aside, as in the former case.
 "The third Valentine was an apostle and late in life was bishop of Passau. He was not a martyr, but was canon ized because of the vastness of his work as an apostle and the marvellous successes which attended his efforts in bringing the heather visited by him into the church communion. Thus it happened that not less than three saints named Valentine have the 14th day of February set aside for special services in commemoration of their memory"
 Senator Stewart has been a mem- Der of the senate since 1863, whsn Nevada was admitted to the union. To those who have had the delight of his acquaintance for a number of years he is one of the most genial and interesting of gentlemen, but to the younger generation of news-gatherers he is scarcely known, except by sight. He does not care to make new friends,
