WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields of Wheat-Gt-
tracing Thousands.

Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that
vast area of grain-producing land
lying north of the 10th parallel and
Immediately adjoining the northern
boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there,
but being unable to fully occupy it,
they have asked the Americans to
assist them in converting the land
from its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-produc-
ing area of the North American Con-
tinent, and the response has been
most liberal.
During the year 1901 upwards of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian Government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving informa-
ton as to the advantages of settle
ment in Canada as it is to extending an
invitation to the American to follow
those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to tie
success of those who have been in
/ duced to take advantage of the offer
of 100 acres of land free in Canada, and
have no cause to hesitate in continuing
the invitation. Many of those interest
ed say there are no more free home
steads to be had in Canada, but the
writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, and in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
/ good as the best, and it is proba bly, the
! best
The Canadian Government has estab-
lished Agencies at St. Paul Mimi;
/ Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chi
cago, ILL.,; Indianapolis, Ind; Milwau-
kee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit, Sault
Ste. Marie and Marquette, Mich; To-
| ledo, Ohio; WATERFOWL, S. Dakota I;
Grand Forks, n. Dakota, and Great
Falls, Montana, and the suggestion is
made that by addressing any of these,
who are the authorized agents of the
Government, it will be to the advantage
of the reader, who will be given the
fullest and most authentic informa-
ton regarding the results of mixed
farming, dairying, ranching, and grain
raising. and also supply information as
to freight and passenger rates, etc.

TWINS THE WORLD OVER.
In Others n Double Birth Is Re-
garded as UnhOIy.

The antiquary, when his son an
nounced that the old man was now
the grandfather of twins, looked al
most as disappointed and panied as
the father himself, relates the Phil
adelphia Record.
John, if we belonged to the Khas-
las or Hindustans, we would kill one
of these little strangers" said the
antiquary, smiling family. IF we
were Amos, we would kill one, too.
The world over, John, twins are re-
garded as a misfortune. In Africa,
that hut wherein twins are born is
looked on as unholy. They burn it
to the ground. The twins themselves
may not mingle with other children;
they are compelled to live a wild
and lonely life. On the island of
Bali, near Java, the birth of twins
in a family means the forced de-
parture of the family to the sea-
shore for six months. They must go
to the sea; they must battle thrice
daily; they must say certain prayers.
That is the ceremony of puri-
fication. They think on Bali Island

MORE OVERSHOES WORN.
rhe Number of Persons Who Put on
Rubbers In Wet Weather Has
Increased.

The men who wear overshoes and
he men who wear rubber boots are
Increasing in number. 1t may have
peen commonly supposed that there
vas a decrease instead of an in
crease, but the facts sho@ the re-
verse, says the Chicago Tribune.
There are more men and also more
women and children now who never
90 out on winter days without put
ting on rubbers or rubber boots
than there ever were in the country
before. The number of cautious
mothers who will not allow their
children on the streets without rub
bers has increased. The number of
men who kick off rubbers when they
go into their offices in the morning
has increased. The number of men
who pull on rubber boots in the
morning and sometimes forget to
pull them off in the evening has in
creased.
The person who says that the rub
Der boot is becoming a thing of the
past speaks without reason.
These facts are shown by the in
