The latest and ons of the most novel
methods of promoting the cause of
temperance is that of impressing the
effects of alcohol upon the public by
means of advertisements This pecul-
lar device originated in Paris, France,
and has proved very effectual in de-
creasing the consumption of liquor
in that city. Scienl. lie facts, statistics,
cartoons, caricatures, all are used and
the Partisan is reached at every turn,
from every ground of appeal. The
billboards shout the results of alcohol
at him; the cars and buses present
brilliant arguments for temperance in
word and picture; he is enticed into
reading some thrilling incident in his
morning paper and finds that it ends
with a forcible temperance applica-
ton. The Frenchman has been
reached and France has scored point
in the battle against the ravages of
alcohoi.-Rdm's Horn.

A FINE COUNTRY.
Resident of Ohio Says Western Cam
ada Is an Ideal Land for Farm
ers and Ranchers.

A delegate from Ohio to Western
Canada says: The whole of West
ern Canada seemed to me to be a
very fine country, but 1 spent most
of my time about thirty miles east
of Lacombe, in Alberta, near what
is popularity known as the coal banks
on the Red Deer River, and l am
try appears to be everything that the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have claimed for it. Good water can
be obtained almost anywhere from
II to 40 feet, and fed generally by
springs. The natural hay and grass
were magnificent in their growth and
wild pea vines very heavy. l met
some of my friends who moved there
seven years ago and two brothers
who had absolutely nothing on their
arrival seven years before now own
two and a half sections of land and
175 head of cattle. They told me that
they did not feed their stock all win
ter, in fact, never saw them again
until the spring, when they came
home fat and without loss. l gath
cred oats 6 fit. 4 high and running
from IS to 100 bushels per acre. IL
appeared to me that all grasses, wild
and cultivated, grow to perfection
in any part of Alberta that l saw,
and the farmers were cutting from
two to three tons of wild hay to the
acre. 1 found the climate very de-
sirable in every respect, and am told
that the winter is the finest part of
the year. There is plenty of coal and
wood to be had near at hand for the
hauling, and such is my satisfaction
with the country that 1 acquired
some land and have put bunch of
cattle thereon. 1 can confidently rec
ommend Western Canada as a suit
able place for farmers to immigrate
to, and can assure them the kindest
treatment by the people there, so
much so that one does not distin-
guish the fact that we have left the
boundaries of the United States"

IntenperA nce.

One day man was cutting thistles
out by the road. Another. passing by,
asked him why he was cutting those
thistles, remarking: They are not
on your lot" No" replied the other.
"Ihey are not on my lot now, but if
left the seed will ripen and the wind
will blow them to my lot. and then
will have to crop the thistles." SO it
is with intemperance. So long as sa-
looms exist there is danger of this
thistle entering our homes. or of our
loved ones in some way being injured
by them. We are not to wait until our
own has been injured, but to do al all
times all we can to save the fallen. and
to make the way safe for those who
shall follow.-EXchange

While there may be better husbands, he is

He is nothin' much ter look at, but he's

An it's mighty seldom ever at you see

i kin twist him round my finger, hold him

He's so sweet an easy goin', but you

Hugh Spender, of the Westminster
Gazette, one of the British Journal
lists who visited Canada this summer
19O2), says: eve fell in with a
young farmer from Somersetshire,
England, driving a binder round a
hundred acre field of wheat in Vest
ern Canada. In conversation l found
that he came from within fifteen
miles of my old home in Somerset
shire. Here was the very man we
wanted. He had come to Manitoba
ten years ago, with a capital of $12
on landing. In England he had been
employed on dairy farm, and earned
eighteen shillings a week. He now
owns 800 acres of land, his horses,
buildings and cattle, and expects to
have 1000 bushels of wheat this sea-
son. We had heard of such things
in the old land, but they did not seem
credible, until we came to this liv-
ing example of the strides that it is
possible to make in Manitoba. Had
this man remained in England, it is
pretty safe to say he would still be
earning no more than eighteen
shillings a week, while in the same
period in Manitoba he has become a
substantial and prosperous farmer"

Head of Department Williams creed
was to view the world as a huge ma
chine, of which he and his fellow
clerltA were cogs. Emotion of any kind
was looked down upon by him as I'M
businesslke; so now he turned stoical-
ly to his desk, and his copy clerk
thought he had merely been giving
some orders to the new man.
But all through the day there was
peculiar light in the matter-o f-fact
eyes of the chief, and when he went to
his boarding house that night he did
not turn to his books. as usual, but
sat gazing out across the twinkling
lights of the great city, thinking.
In the main office few weeks later
Mr.. Burton suddenly laid down his
pen.

fidentially. 81 believe our machine

and saw him giving her pennies. 1

yes" answered Mr.. True, posing
HIS pen meditatively above his ledger,
81 think you are right. Williams has
been a good automaton, but l always
held that a business man could not
reach the best success by mere me-
chanical ability" and then both bent
over their desks and were speedily lost
in the computations evolved by their
swiftly moving pens.-N. Y. Times.

SUPREME Court Decisions.

The Supreme Court has affirmed
the judgment of the Circuit Court
here, which granted non suit, in
the case of Killian Harman against
the Western Uoion Telegraph Go
This case was brought by Messrs.
Muller & Sturkie, asking damages
for the failure of the Company to
deliver an important telegram to Mr..
Harman at Batesburg, about two
years ago. Upon the call of the case
for trial and after the close of the
plaintiffs testimony, the presiding
Judge granted non suit, and this
has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court.
At the September term 1900,
Judge D. A. Townsend, tried the
case of Isaac Edwards against The
Southern Railway Company, a case
brought by Col. Strother, asking
Judgment of 500 90 for each and
every day of the continuance of the
operation of the Carolina Midland
Railroad by the defendant company
from Batesburg to Blackville, which
is alleged to be competing line, and
contrary to an act Of the General
Assembly, dated End March, 1897.
Judge Townsend filed his decision
on Octoher 1st, 1900, sustaining the
demurrer CT the defendant and dis
missing the complaint. The case
was carried up, and decision by
the Supreme Court, reversing the
Judgment OF the Circuit Court, was
handed down last week. This, we
understand, puts the case before a
Jury and hard and lengthy trial
may be expected.
