PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer In Western Canada
Achieves Wonderful Success.

One of the first things that the man
who wishes 10 change his residence on
deavers to find out is where he can so
and succeed. 1t need be q matter of
little doubt or indecision now Dur
ing the past four or five years the de-
vclopment of Western Canada has
been so rapid, and the conditions Vt
life there so widely known. that up
wards of 10000 Americans have taken
up their homes there. and the expert
cnce of these people is that they arc
thoroughly satisfied with their choice
of home.
The methods of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States. but the operations are simpler
the yield of grain greater. and ihe
profits more satisfactory. launching
is carried on with lots of success. Mix
ed farming is always profitable, while
the results in EMBARRASSING are as cor
tain as splendid soil, excellent climate
and lots of sunlight can give.

years ago, and followed the thousa ads
who had already gone to Canada. He
had twenty-five ~nars' experience in

flax; but in all his experience he never
saw a district so well suited to the
growth of flax as Western Canada

surely testimony sufficiently strong TO

money to be made out of the soil Of the
Canadian West. 1t is to facts like

weakness and Strength.

1t becomes us to know our weak
ness as we'll as our strength. The
man who feels that he can do more
than he has the strength to do
often fails. So we see the necess-
ity of preparing ourselves in our
special weakness. In order to ac-
complish anything in life we must
exert our strength, but we must
not overestimate it. We must be
trne ito ourselves, to accomplish
all the tasks before us.

1t was "Tve lost my Nancy Lee"

cheeks. The lobster bumped and

asked Mrs. Bowser in doubtful
tones.
"Of course it was. What else
could it have been?"
"I have heard that fish were
attracted by light at night and
perhaps it's the same with Holsters.
You might put him back and see

to the family cat, whose curiosity
had been at fever heat ever since
the basket was brought in. AS the
lobster fell to the floor she darted
forward to make a close inspection
and the next instant her tail was
gripped by couple of claws and
she was circling around the room.
"Durn her hidel" yelled Mr..
Bowser as he tried to head her off.
"Stop her or she'll break thingsl"
added Mrs. Bowser, as he looked
around for the broom.
Three times did the cat circle
the room, mewing and splitting
and wailing, and then of a sudden
she shot through an open rear
window and dropped into the yard
to be seen no more for three days
and nights.
"Do you think cats are suscept-

as she began lifting up the chairs
which had been upset in the row.

A Shameful RECORD.

"You are another, IS a retort
that has been sometimes held to be
good answer. But it is not al
ways SO. Occasionally it is simply
an indication of cheap smartness
1t is much the fashion for republic
can partisans. when the charge of
party corruption is flung at them,
to tacitly admit it by the weak claim
that the other side is just as bad,
and that one might as well be de-
youred by the devil as swallowed
mp by the deep sea.

the United States came into ex-

ures. Republican congressman were
openly accused of helping to enact
national legislation which should
put money into their own pockets
They were accused and convicted
of accepting bribes to pay them
for their corrupt work in Congress.
And this was not the worst of it,
for SO debauched had the moral
sense of Republican Congressman
already become, thatit was charged
openly and not disputed. that in
many cases they themselves could
see nothing wrong in such courses.
and even Republican Congress
most signally failed to mete ont to
them just punishment.
1t is not necessary to enter into
details respecting the plentiful
crop of public scandals which grew
out of the Civil WAr-the shoddy
contracts by which this govern
ment and our soldiers were robbed
steadily for years during the war
and succeeding the war, the car
pet bag thievery which fourished
during period when, one would
think, it was an exception to find
an honest Federal officer, especially
in the South. The list is long
one and the details would have a
spirit of tiresome sameness.

convulsed with disclosures of the

then about twenty years old-a
young party, but how old in crime
Now twenty years more have passed
and we have fresh uncoverings of
corruption in many of the depart
ments at Washington. To say
nothing of the rank army scandals,
involving rotten and embalmed
beef which put much ill-gotten
wealth in somebody's pockets; to
say nothing of the stealings in
Cuba, and in the Philippines. we
now have disgraceful disclosures
in the Post Office department, of a
system which appears to be honey
combed with fraud-a carnival of
crime in high places, insomuch
that it is coming to be mark of
suspicion and disgrace for a man to
hold Republican Office in WASH
ington, and when the frauds ap-
pear to permeate the entire postal
department, oven to the remotest
corners of the country.
How puerile and begging the
question is this retort, "You are
another" seen in view of all tbisl
Was there ever a national party
which in SO short period incurred
the loads of disgrace which the
Republican party has been posing
as including about all the virtue,
morality and general goodness there
is going. For years and years the
astute Republican leaders claimed
to represent temperance above all
things. and for years and years
they fooled the Temperance people.

at the st. Louis Exposition
Whitehouse being an exposition
Commissioners of from West Vir-

advantage in Mr., Whitehouse,s q
plan is that it promises practically
all the benefits which will be de-
rived from the completion of the
projected lock and dam system in
the Ohio, if that costly undertaking
completed. Whitehouse proposes
to do with $500. 600 in few
months what the Federal govern
ment has set out to do at a cost
of funnumbered millions, and in
the indefinite course of years.
The practicability of Mr.. White
