Bogoe's partner. They went back to

had evidently became anxious or
crazed by the cold and lonliness and
wandered away.
One spot was found that looked as

given up for lost. Gray pushed on to

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

VIII Canada in the next quarter Of a
century take the place of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section of the western hemisphere7
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States has
reached high water mark as q wheat
exporting country. The increasing
population over there has reached the
point when home consumption is be-
coming annually greater in proportion
than the increase in wheat production.
AS matter of fact wheat production
Is decreasing over there as the land be-
comes more valuable and by reason OF
the demand for other forms of produce
for home consumption. 1t Is said that
the wheat crop this year is not more
than 20 per cent. Of the crop of 1901
and much below the crops of 1902 and
1903. 1t is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export will
not be over 100,000,000, which is less
than any year since 1878 with two ex-
ceptions. Not only Is this the case, but
a considerable quantity of the best Can
adian wheat is being imported into Min
nesota and also Chicago.
All this tends to keep the price OF
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat" Is the loadstone that will at
tract farmers to the Canadian North
west, where land Is cheap and can be
farmed on wholesale basis, particulars
Of which may be had from any agent
Of the Canadian Government The re-
duction Of American exports will have
the double influence of increasing Can
adian production and keeping up the
price. 1t constitutes a roseate prospect
for this country, and needs no exercise
of optimistic enthusiasm to foresee the
near expansion of the Dominion into
the actual position of the "granary OF
the empire"

GEN. GRANTS GALLANTRY
Pretty Story Told of His Devotion and
Love for His Faithful
Wife.

This pretty story of Gen. Grant we
flnd floating about on the sea of journal
ism without any credit. 1t is doubtful
whether any chronicle or romance of
the days of chivalry contains so touch
ing an instance of matrimonial devo-
tlon:
When the honors came upon the
Grants, like sorrows to the house OF
Denmark, mot single spies but battal-
iions," the mistress of the white house
began to renew the dream of her girl
hood-to have her cross eyes straight
ened. Wishing to surprise the presi-
dent, Mrs. Grant, telling nobody, sent
for the most eBainent oculist in America
He willingly promised to undertake the
operation, which he assured her would
be easy to accomplish, and without dan
ger. The goDd lady could not contain
herself for Joy, and, woman-like gave
way when she saw her husband and con-
tided to him her secret, the pleasure she
mad in store for him. He looked visit
fully into those dear eyes which had
held him with tender gaze through all
the trials Of checkered career, and said
Sn a simple way: Julia, l wish you
would not change them. love them
as they are, and they might seem strange
II altered" Nor Launcelot, nor Romeo
nor lover OF any age or cline, ever spoke
words of tenderer gaIlantry than those
of the hero of Appomattox.
