The rapid disappearance OF tne

pheasant be found, it would be a
cause for no little thankfulness. Inc
pheasant is a hardy bird, once fairy

their raising convinces me that they
will stand the hard winters OF YER

prolific egg producers and invariaoIy

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 hemisphere?
Everything points that way. In the
opinion Of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as a
wheat exporting country. The increas-
ing population over there has reached
the point when home consumption is
becoming annually greater in proper
ton than the increase In wheat pro-
duction. As a matter of fact, wheat
production is decreasing over there as
the land becomes more valuable and
by reason of the demand for other
forms of produce for home consump-
ton. 1t is said that the wheat crop
this year is not more than 10 per cent
of the crop of 1901 and much below
the crops Of 1902 and 1908. 1t is esti-
mated that this year the United States
surplus for export will not be over
100,000,000, which is less than any year
since 1873 with two exceptions. Not

wheat is being imported into Mime

All this tends to keep the price of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian North
west, where land is cheap and can be
farmed on a wholesale basis, particu-
lars of which may be had from any
agent of the Canadian government.
The reduction Of American exports
will have the double influence of it,
creasing Canadian production and
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes
a roseate prospect for this country,
and needs no optimistic enthusiasm TO
foresee the near expansion Of the
Dominion into the actual position Of
the ''granary of the empire

Countless Literary Workers Succeed
Despite Physical Ailments.

The Rook Lover: If you glance
through the biographies of any twenty
five literary workers, you will find a
strange and striking difference between
the personal lives of perhaps half Of
the numbeg and of the others. Twelve
or fifteen &fil be found to be compara-
lively healthy. while the others are
constantly afflicted and endure lives OF
intense suffering. OF his class are
George Eliot, Huxley, De Quincy, the
Carlyles, P~arknan, Browning, Wagner,
Spencer, Whittier, Margaret Fuller.
Lewes. Darwin and Nietzsche.
If we examine carefully the biogra-
| phies and letters of the fourteen of the
| geniuses just mentioned. Ii will be
found that they all suffered much in
the same way. They had headache,
sick headache. dyspepsia.
indescribable misery, ~irritability, in
somnia and detection. Moreover, all
of them learned every day hat the use
of their eyes in their occupation caused
these symptoms, and that the only cure
was nonuse OF the eyes in such work.
The so-called brain fag'' is a silly
myth. The brain does not tire; INTEL
lectual work does not hurt under nor
NAL conditions. 1t is the eye strain
that causes the brain flag which the
newspapers have been exploiting OF
late. Spencer learned this lesson. and
escaped the tragedy of Nietzsehe and
| Carlyle by debating his writings, get
ting others to do his research work foI
him and by being willing TO go without
vast realms of accurate knowledge
Parkham was driven TO similar expedi-
ents. But all the rest groaned and SUI
| fered even while they wrote little notes
and postal cards instead of letters tC
their best friends.

Demonstrates the Power of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to Restore vigor to Shat
tered Nerves.
Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the minis
ter of the Christian Church, Of No. 20l0

her daughter has been enabled to resume
her professional work as a teacher after
suffering for nearly three years from Sc

hood to womanhood," says Mrs. Lane,
"she suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her, but a few boxes of DR..
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation Of her system.
While she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to overwork, first as a student and then
as a teacher in a large Iowa institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the strain
finally told ON her. She became pale,
weak, nervous, unable to sleep; she had
no appetite and she suffered from Sc
NCI0 DCdtVCntS. luSn ChIllc u plcOc
breakdown and her work had to be given
up.
In this emergency we again tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. Improvement
came at first slowly and we sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining, but
we noticed that whenever she stopped
taking the pills she fell back, and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and so we kept up the treatment
until she recovered her usual health and
was able to take a position i'll one of our
universities where she is happily at
work. My mother, my daughter and
myself have q well-founded confidence
in the merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and are always ready to recommend
them"
This is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease It its source
and effect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these have
q common origin i'll impaired blood or
nerves. They put the entire system in a
healthy condition, because they intro
duce vigor that is distributed to every
part. They arrest physical decay when
it seems inevitable and find a road to
restoration when the doctor misses it.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

and at the same time overcome any

of both udder and teats. Try this plan

CIDDY BROADWAY GIRLS
Filled Up on Albuquerque Fi1z and
Did Shocking Things.

The city thoroughfares, the resorts
and the numerous places of interest Of
Albuquerque were swarming with
peachy New York chorus girls, and the
things they did, and the positions they
assumed when riding saddle ponies and
uncouth but patient burros, were very
shocking to the sobriety Of our usually
quiet town. That the Broadway ladies
were out for time was very evident;
and that they were aware that they
were guests Of the Elks of Albuquer-
que and licensed to do just as their ac
tive mirds might suggest was ,qu ly
evident.
The livery stables were swamped
with demands for saddle ponies and
rigs with gentle nags. One harem
scarem young lady mounted a burro
near the corner Of Railroad avenue and
Second street, and her convulsions OF
merriment attracted quite u crowd.
Her friends called her Topsy, but from
all appearances she was tipsy, and there
vas a hole in her stocking half way to
the knee.
Another mischievous miss, perched
herself IN the stool of the street car
and drove the horse to old town. The
driver was at the mercy of six other
buXom lassies on the inside of the car.
At the car barn the young lady drive,
lifted her skirt and mounted the car
horse and rode it into the barn. They
ran their horse around the race track
and rolled the balls at the Sunnyside
alleys.
The way they swamped the Harvey
lunch counter at luncheon time was q
caution. One young lady ate baked
apples and cream then soup and ther
dinner. Some few failed to catch the
train and are still guests of the city.
