ONE DOLLAR WHEAT.
Western Canada's Wheat Fields Pro-
duce It-Magni1cent Yields-Free
Grants of Land to Settlers.

The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement of
American farmers northward to Cam
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota ana Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of its American contingent. Last
year, however, forty-four states and
districts were represented in the Off
cial statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steads in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 4,006 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 1887,
but with the exception of Alabama and
Mississippi and Delaware every state
in the Union supplied settlers who, in
order to secure farms in the fertile
prairie country of Canada, became
citizens of, and took the oath of al
legiance to, the Dominion. Last year
no less than 11,S41 Americans entered
for homestead lands in Canada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary, and
from ocean to ocean, the trek to the
Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central MISSISSIPPI
pi valley, but the ranchers of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil of Ok
lahoma, are pouring towards the pro-
ductive vacant lands of the Canadian
Northwest. 1t is no tentative, half
hearted departure for an alien coun-
try that Is manifested in this exodus;
it has become almost a rush to secure
possession of land which it is feared.
by those imperfectly acquainted with
the vast area of Canada's vacant lands,
may all be acquired before they ar
rive. There is no element of specula-
ton or experiment in the migration.
The settlers have full information re-
specting the soil, wealth, the farming
methods, the laws, taxation and sys-
TEN of government of the country to
which they are moving, and they real
ize that the opportunities offered in
Canada are in every respect better and
greater than those they have enjoyed
in the land they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
cordially every American farmer COM
ing to the Dominion. There is nc
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development of the
prairie portion of the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thorized Canadian Government Agen,
whose address will be found elsewhere

A Remedy Which Claimed to De

A Remedy Which Is Claimed to BE
InfnII1bIc In Pneumonia.
This remedy. which is claimed to be
infallible, was formulated many years
ago by we'll known physician in New
England, who never lost patient by
this scourge: Take six or ten onions,
according to size, and chop fine. Put
in large spider over hot fire. add
ing about the same quantity of rye
meal and vinegar to form stiff paste
Stir thoroughly and simmer five or
ten minutes. Put into a cotton bag
large enough to cover the lungs ana
apply to the chest just as hot as the
patient can bear 1t. In about ten min
utes charge the poultfce, and thus con-
tinue relocating and applying, and In a
few hours the patient will be out OF
danger And just here a word of eau
ton. In applying this or any other hot
poultice care must be exercised not to
let the patient get chilled during the
changing process. Have the hot one
ell! ready to go on before the cooling
one is removed. and make the eN-
changes so swiftly and deity that
there is not Il moments exposure of
the body surface. which becomes eN-
ceedinGIy sensitive to Il chill.

Reply to Jim Dorman.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I will ask
only a small space this morning, as
I see the corner is full every week
of very interesting and instructive
letters. Jim Dorman seems to think
it strange that the young ladies did
not dispute his theory concerning
their influence. But I will inform
him that if he. wishes to pander to
the vanity of the young misses by
telling them that although they can
not make cherubs of their fathers
and brothers, they certainly can in
fuence "the other fellers" who are no
kin to them, to change their mode of
life from bad to good, or from i'm
moral to noble, gentle manhood-he
may expect that they. the young
ladies, who roll the fattery under
their tongues as a sweet morsel, and
say: eyes, Mr.. Dorman, we think so
too, only more so, so much so that we
think we can marry any kind of a
man, whose handsome face and
graceful figure charms the eye, and
fascinates the mind, and trust to
that same wonderful influence to
change him after the marriage cere-
mony has been performed" But my
long experience teaches me that the
very reverse is true.
AS to the quotation from the BIZ
BILE, "the believing wife s~anctifeth,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-07-26

etc." the Scriptures are true. The
falsity is always found in the appli-
cation. Now this is "the other side"
for the benefit Of all who may read.
And hoping the young girls may
profit by it, I am

must be had. Everybody came to
inspect the new furnishings, but the
carpets were a mystery to them; for
they were the first ever seen by the
pioneers and it was a ludicrous sight
to see the stury Tennesseans jumping
from one figure to another under the
impression that they were made to
guide them in walking, and shy we're
the chances of the maidens and men
at the reflections of their own faces
in the large mirrors.
The old people were the soul of
kindness and hospitality, and the
General liked to call his home "Trav-
eller's Rest" a name which it bore
until destroyed by fire some two
years ago. Because of his influence
with the Indians, the President re-
quested him to take charge of the
Choctaw agency. This he did, and
his wife, assisted by David Hood the
tutor, managed several large planta-
tions and a small army of servants.
All the time she could spare she
spent with her husband It 1.-The agen-
cy, and when his health failed. she
left all and remained constantly with
him. When the end came in 1914,
she saw her. honored husband borne
through the streets of Nashville by
the citizens, accompanied by United
States soldiers sent by the Govern
ment to honor the memory Of "the
Father of TENNESSEE"
She survived her husband almost
thirty years, years of tranquility and
peace, living wei the old days of ad-
venture in stories of the time when
Nashville was but a fort on the bluff.
She lived to see a great city with
broad streets and fine mansions arise
on the very spot where she had seen
herds of buffalo and deer. She died
in 1843 at the age of ninety-three,
and rests beside her husband in the
old City Cemetery in Nashville.

A Visit to Washington City.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I was panied
when I saw no letters from the So
cial Chat writer's this week-Aunt
Jennie had all the page to herself.
and while she writes better than any
of us, it must be discouraging to her
to find a week in which so little inter
est is taken in the corner. Then [
remembered that I was a delinquent,
so I will Improve myself to-day and
my friends tomorrow" The best
excuse I have to offer is procrastina-
ton. I wanted to tell you about a
trip to Washington City. I left home
May 18th and reached the capital
city next morning at 3 o'clock.
W. had a lovely trip over the Ches-
apeake and Ohio road. For miles the
railroad runs along the bank of the
James River. The scenery from
Lynchburg to Glasgow is indescrib-
ably beautiful: Andw hat must I say
of Washington? Well, it surpassed
my fondest expectations, and that is
saying a great deal. Mt. Vernon was
the sweetest and saddest place [ Wis
tied. The very air seemed to be sa-
cred. Surely if the Father of his
Country had searched America over
he could not have found a more
beautiful place. While there I kept
thinking what a contrast there is In
the life of our Presidents then and
now. Then they were comparatively
free, now they must be so diligently
guarded all the time, even then not
being safe from the assassin's bull
let.
The Library of Congress is the
most beautiful building I have ever
seen, or expect to see, in this world.
[ felt like the old woman whenj she
went to see the street parade at a
circus. After it was over, her hus-
band asked: "Well, wife, what do
you think of itN "John," she said,
with tears in her eyes, cts nearer
like the kingdom of Heaven than any
thing / eve expect to see in this
world!!" 1t cost ten years of labor
and over six million dollars to build
this wonderful library, and is said to
be the largest and costliest in the
world.
Oh, there is so much to see and be
proud of. It should make the heart
of every true American throb with
pride to gaze upon any of these
handsome buildings.

AUNT N LETTER.
The Rest of Charlotte R%obertson's
Story.

graph last week, matters grew grad
ually calmer in Tennessee. Hostil-
tiles ceased; hearts grew light with
encouragement for the future. Fields
and gardens 1ourished where once
forest, reeds and u~nderbrush grew. |
All seemed safe.
But we come now to an April day,
and every man about Nashville cap
able of bearing arms, except iona
than Robertson, had left the fort, and
he had gone over to hunt wild tur-
keys on the hill where now stands
the capitol of Tennessee. Mistress
Charlotte was experimenting her
servants, spinning and weaving in
the shed room where the shuttles
clicked and ratified and the wheels |
kept up their incessant hum. Little
Felix, her baby boy, the first white
child born in Middle Tennessee, was
in her arms, but her wifely duties
nor her motherly watchcare for her
baby, could not Danish from her wo-
mans heart the premonition of i'm
pending danger. Nor did she feel
more comfortable when their blood
hounds trained to hunt Indians, left
off their doing, shifted the air and
growled ominously.
She climbed to the lookout but at
first saw nothing. A moment later
the blood left her cheek, for toward
the north on the crest of the hill she
spied through the blue haze a band
of Indians dancing around a pros
trate figure. "In a flash the truth
dawned; they had slain her son." And
at the same moment the conviction
came that something must be done
at once or the whole colony would
suffer a like fate.
She babe her servants bring two
horses, and mounting one with little
Felix still in her arms, and followed
by Caesar with the rifle, she passed
out at the gate and heard it bolted
and b~arricaded behind her. eau
tiously they proceed until a friendly
hillock afford them protection from
Indian eyes; then the horses are
given full rein: they dash onward to
West Nashville where her husband
and men are at work on their Rich
land farm. He sees them coming,
divines the situation, and give the
danger signal.
In a flash call along the bottom,
horses are cut loose from plows and
nineteen farmers with unslung rifles
are following their leader and his
heroic wife in the mad race for the
fort, which they reach none too soon.
for a band of the stealthy beings are
already creeping nearer through the
cane rakes." Dismounting, they
drive them back-too far, for at this
moment a half-moon line of battle
deploys between them and the fort.
They have fallen into a trap, and 1t
is nineteen against a thousand. But
Dl-4ooatc foao uoc nnUpr

ments rifles are ringing and clouds
of white smoke are floating over the
cedars. "Fierce the conflict RACES.
The half-moon line is closing in and
forcing them back into the river. At
this moment Mistress Charlotte is
standing rife in hand, on the look
out watching the battle. Her train
ed eye now tells her that the crisis
has arrived. At a word from her
Caesar looses the hounds and with
loud baying, they rush upon the rear
of the warriors reforming line. The
Vancouver is understood, the charge
is sounded, the pioneers close in upon
their antagonists, who now assailed
in front and rear, waver, then break
and flee and the battle is over"
The courageous mother then went
with the rescue party in search of
Jonathan. They found him alive but
unconscious at a spot now marked
by. the south entrance to the Cap
itol grounds in Nashville. They car
ried him home and he was in time
nursed back to health and strength
by that tender, faithful, heroic moth
er who had saved the fort that day
from ultimate destruction. He af-
terward became a prominent figure
in the new State of Tennessee. This
days work was the eliminating point
of the dark days in Middle Tennes
see.
After this the path of our heroine
diverged and we see her treading
steadily those of tranquility and
peace so congenial to a woman of
her gentle nature. Honors were free
ly bestowed on her husband. he being
elected to the Senate and made q
general, but best of all he was rev
erenced as a friend to all and the
Father of Tennessee. Wealth came
and the home so bravely fought for
through these years of severe trial
was now a reality in a large brick
mansion, the first in Nashville, and
situated on the highway still known
as Charlotte Pike. The brick marked
by the hieroglyphics of the Indian
workmen. the massive oaken doors,
the exqUisitely carved balustrade and
highly polished walnut floors were
all wrought by hand.
Mrs. Charlotte is said to have
planned the house, and after it's COM
pletion her first thought was to share
it with her aged parents who still
lived back in North Carolina. Her
husband was too busy to go for them,
so she, with her son Felix and faith
full old Caesar, made the journey on
horseback through the wilderness
and brought her parents home with
her.
Felix and Lavinia we're. sent to
Philadelphia to school, the former to
study medicine and the latter to a
fashionable boarding school. An ex-
cellent tutor was engaged for the
younger children in the person of
