Worlds Fair Hymn and 1t Has
Been Set to Music.
Western folk will be charmed by

mund Clarence Stedman upon the in
vitation of the Worlds Fair manage
ment. He calls it the Hymn of the
West" a title BETTING SO splendid a
production. 1t has five stanzas, and
Prof. John X. Paine of Harvard Uni
versity, has written the music, which
is no less grand. The first public rem

WESTERN CANADA HAS
AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE
The Saskatchewan Valley very Highly
Favored.

The Saskatchewan Valley very Highly
Favored.
An interesting feature OF Western
Canada is its climate Those who
lave made study of 1t speak highly
of It. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates.
etc, to those interested in the country.
As has been said, the climate II ex-
cellent. The elevation of this part Of
Canada is about 800 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the Average
for Minnesota. 1t is q very desirable
altitude. The country has q very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. r
F. Stupart, director of the meteorologt-
cal service for Canada. says:
''The salient features of the climate
of the Canadian northwest territories
are a clear, brccing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part Of the year. and a
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is Sc, and Prince Albert 62. The
former temperature is higher than at
any part of England, and the latter is

parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is rs and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine. the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about 18 inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about rs
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can
ada gets as much moisture when it is
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difhcult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

Congressman HardWick Mistaken for
One of the House Pages.
Congressman Hardwick, the boyish-
looking man from Georgia, has had
the experience that has befallen other
youthful statesmen. He was stand
ing close to the speakers desk one day
when one of the reading clerks, mis-
taking him for page. said: Run anG
bring me that paper that is lying on
Gen. Grosvenor's desk" Smiling at
the clerks error, the Georgian did as
requested. Half an hour later the
chair recognized "the gentleman from
Georgia" and to the surprise and
modification of the reading clerk, Mr.
Hardwick, the beardless boy, who
had performed messenger duty a short
time previous, arose and delivered a
long speech on the race problem in the
south.

OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

Dozens Of Unique Materials Used In
the Creation of Worlds Fair Statu-
airy.
Enduring marble and temporary
staff, which have marked the statu-
airy of past expositions, are not the
only kinds at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, although more works of
art carved from these materials are
there exhibited than were ever col
lected at one place in the history of
the world.
Many odd materials have been
made up into artistic figures that elo-
quently proclaim the idea of the de
signer. Some of these unique statues
are colossal in size and large sums OF
money were expended in their max

to Hoboken, carries a number of men
known to the world of finance The
conductor is David Sanderson, to
whom his passengers, grateful for his
uniform good nature and efficiency,
have just presented a handsome watch
and a purse of gold. They insisted on
his making a speech and Sanderson
did so. winding up in this way: "Some
people wonder why it is I have had
such great success in life; why I have
had no trouble with nobody. Even the
other conductors don't understand it
and they often ask me how I get along
with the DRINKS on my train, an just
tell 'em@" Such a shout of laugh
ter went up from the millionaires that
Sanderson's speech ended then ans
