This nice bit of ethics was lost on
Luther Ben. He had his own doubts as
to the eminent respectability of cut

An Austrian engineer, g. W. Meyer,
has been figuring ON the possibility
of running half-hour electric trains
between New York and Chicago at q
maximum speed of lS5 miles an hour.
He shows how trains. each consisting
of a single car carrying 80 passengers,
could be run by the polyphase system
with 1,So0 horsepower. He would
have a high-tension current trans
formed in substations placed at inter-
walls along the line. and supplied to
the motors at a lower pressure. Nj

Black ,Auntie-at least. the chip basket
was out there and the chips. Hanni-
bal's sandy brows were knit in pro-
found meditation. Hannibal was the
little twin and thought all the big
thoughts, which fact may. of course,
have been directly traceable to his
name.
Luther Ben kicked over the chip bas-
ket recklessly. Three chips-all there
were-fell out.

"Cricky, do. Well cut down cher

"Hooray!" began Luther Ben, and
then with the shout midway to the
rafters, it changed to groan. Luther
Ben was the practical twin. "Where
you goin' to get your cherry tree?" he
inquired, witheringly.
"I-never thought" he muttered.
"There amt a cherry tree on this

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS

ern Canada, a 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 / 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 1 live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more a 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 thai
in Dakota at about one-quarter the
price. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations Of
all Canadians"

Rutledge, Mimi, Feb. l6th-Mr. E. C.
Getchell of this place relates a happy ex-
perience which will be read with interest
by all those who have similar trouble.
1t appears that last winter Mr.. Getchell
was seized with a lameness and soreness
in his back which grew worse and worse
till at last it became very bad and made
it, very difficult for him to get about at
all.
After time he heard of new remedy
fol. backache which some of his friends
and .neighbors said had cured them and
he determined to try it. The name of
the remedy is Dodd's Kidney Pills and
Mr.. Getchell has proven that it is a sure
cure. He says:
"I used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to. directions and nv lame
back was. entirely cured and am ali o. X
again. Dodd,s, Kidney Pills are as good
as represented"
This remedy is very popular here and
has worked some remarkable cures of
