She Didn't Sell.

While waiting to see an office man
a oma came in with a bundle of
sunshine papers at ten cents a copy.
One man refused to purchase and
another man shook his head in a dis
couraging manner, then as she start
ed for the third person the proprietor
asked her not to bother the party.
The fourth man offered her five cents
for the paper, because he wanted to
read it, but though it was fifty cents a
year and monthly she refused to cut
prices.
While trying to find her way down
stairs she started into a room of
workers and the proprietor requested
her not to go in there, as they were
behind on orders and very busy.
AS she found the right door and
left the room her face lacked the sun.
shine of cheer. 1t is easier to have
wisdom in a paper than to carry it in
our spirit, but we may have 1t in both
places.
She may be doing her best and all
right-she has a right to try. There
are women who could have brought
so much sunshine into the office that
every man there would have been un.
able to hold their dimes down. Let's
take u W medicine.

We do not know very
much when we do not
know anything.

Another wording is-how little we
know about things on which we know
nothing.
Just after a newspaper writer had
finished his notes regarding a sub.
ject we had gone over, we began talk.
ing about mistakes due to the ignor.
ance Of the victim.
MY suggestion to him was that we
make a string of events on one sub.
Ject and thus ~saturate our minds and
the minds of those who would read
the collection.
Saturation is the way to know and
remember knowledge worth knowing
and remembering.
IL am able to tell a writer, or If |
am able to write something which
think is of personal use to you,
should be bright enough to use 1t my.
self, but you may know that It re-
quires several times as much ability
to apply as it does to impart informa.
ton.
1t is also much easier for you to ad-
mire an idea you read or hear thar
1t is to absorb and put it to use.
II the above mentioned writer and
are ever able to make a string of
examples on a certain kind of ignor.
ance, and have it SO attractive. effec.
1--WE and permanent that all of us will
know more, it will be doing just what
want to be able to do.
In the meantime why don't you be-
gin to make a list of some ideas on
some every day subject which is more
or less in the dark. If you keep your
list in manuscript form and let some
n c a it occasionally you will be
useful to others. One of the most
useful stories ever written has never
been printed, but many a time it has
been read to a group of children by
the old gentleman who wrote the
story.
If you could see the amateur photo
graph of one group you would admire
the whole plan. 1t was shown me
some time ago, but l see it clearly
now. The old gentleman and the
boys and girls are on a big porch of
a summer cottage. With the manu-
script in his hand, he is sitting in a
big rocker and the children are in
several positions, but all with the
marks of enjoyment on their faces.
Should you write a story or collect
experiences for the benefit of others
you would learn more by doing it
than any reader or listener would,
but some one among your audiences
may put the learning to better use
than o will. However we can, if we
will, collect, exchange, promote and
also apply good ideas.

Got the Riaht Kind.

Gainesville, Iexas, req. zznd.-Mrs'
L. E. Burton of 507 Glad street, this
city, writes the following letter:
II have been awfully troubled with
my Kidneys; l was in a bad fix and
had been d%octoring with the Doctors,
but was getting no better. l tried a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
/ found they did me lots or good. l
had a slight return of my trouble
and l went to the Drug Store and call
ed for Dodd's Kidney Pills. They said
there was no such pills. l told them
there was. They said they had the
best pills that were made and per-
suaded me to try a box Of another
kind, not Dodd's. AS / needed some
medicine, l bought a box, but they
did me no good so l went elsewhere
and got the real Dodd's Kidney Pills
and very soon was completely cured.
| took a box up to the Drug Store and
showed them that there vas such
pills and asked them to order some,
but as | haven't needed any more I
haven't called to see whether or not
they got them"

Have you ever wished
that some one would
come along and tell you
something pleasant?

Suppose we begin on this and do as
we would be done by. Bury dead and
worse than dead subjects and dig up
some beautiful crystals OF curious
stones. Hunt for wild flowers and
capture an inspiring sunrise with your
new camera
Some people are products of what
they see and hear, while others may
be products of what they think. You
are an educator for good or evil, when
you use your voice or deliver a
thought or exhibit a sight.
Some men and women are devoting
their time to teaching others how to
develop better voices. There are
voices so rich hat they are an enter
tainment alone.
Thoughts are manufactured every
minute and they begin to fight each
other from the time they are let out.
A thought may make or unmake the
recipient.
Sights are the same. While many
people and organizations are making
things to look at which appeal to
SO0A thAu DdSGluGul nature, OLner
people and organizations are working
Just as hard to make something for
your eye that will be c%ongenial to the
third story or the skylight of your in
telligence.
Our manners should be added to
the voice, thought and product to look
at. Our words may give us our D
tation, while our may give
us our character. Some would say
that the voice is a part of our man
ners. Our manners are our perpetual
gift to others and usually unconscious
ly given.
Recently l was told that a certain
persons very presence was a recrea-
ton. Would you say that in
cluded that silent bearing that enter
tained-the individuality that bene-
flied by being near?

Men and Trains.

This morning at 6:55 a. M, with
the weather below zero, l walked a
mile in a hurry to catch a man before
he could catch his train.
Last evening he telephoned that he
would go into the city with me on
my train this morning if l reached
him before his train came.
On the way to his station l thought
that would not succeed, but a prod
uct of previous experiments helped
me. BY taking shorter steps than
are natural for me l am able to walk
faster with less exertion and keep
warmer in cold weather and 1t may
be also cooler In hot weather. The
latter, II true, is due to even circula-
ton.
The man reached the appointed end
of the platform after l did and we
walked fifty feet to my train and had
our conversation during transporta-
ton. His train was late, but | had
no way of knowing that. My work
from 6:55 was to walk my best. He
expected to miss his train had I
missed him, as he was a minute late.
Two minutes to spare were what l
had when l stopped to look around
for him. There was a time when 1t
would have taken me three minutes
longer to make the trip on foot, then
had he and his train been on time 1
would have been left. Just how /
learned to walk faster with less exer.
ton may be useful to you.
While reading about the German
army an item on the length Of the
step set me to thinking. Certain steps
tired the soldiers and a step for the
average man was secured. BY test
ing my step | found that one reason
why a long and rapid walk tired me
so was because 1t, the step, was too
long. With you it may not be long
enough. Experiment.

a Flftv-poIlar RIlI.

A mar sem a man a check for one
hundred and fifty dollars and a fifty
dollar bill. It went by a messenger.
The man receiving it pulled out the
check, saw no bill and threw the en-
velope into the waste basket.
When these two men met on the
street they mentioned the subject, but
each thought the other joking. But
when they got serious a search was
made and it was learned hat the
waste basket, which was cleaned out
about once in two weeks, had been
cleaned out before the usual time.
Also that the waste paper which was
sold once in six months had just been
carted away. All evidence was gone
The messenger was thought to be
honest and the two men believed each
other and it was natural for the JAM
tor to clean the basket out of time tc
have the contents go with the semi
annual collection. Uncle Sam won
very likely.

Animals and Fire.

Most animals are afraid OF FIRE, and
will hy from 1t In terror. To others
there is a fascination about a flame,
and they will walk into it even though
tortured by the heat. A horse in a
burning stable goes mad with fear. but
a dog is as cool in a fire as at any
time. He keeps his rose down to the
floor. where the air is purest, and sets
himself calmly to finding his way out.
Cats in fires howl p~iteously. They
hide their faces from the light and
crouch In rne When their res
cuer lifts them they are as a rule quite
dooile and subdued, never biting or
scratching. Birds seem to be hypno-
tized by fire and keep perfectly still
ever the %loquacious parrot In a fire
has nothing to say. Cows, like dogs,
do not show alarm. They are easy to
lead forth and often find their way
out themselves.

Editorial Correspondence.1
Moose Jaw, Assiniboia

Moose Jaw, Assiniboia-
Farmers Review,
Chicago, July %, 1908.
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
psts and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori-
Eon as yet unmarried by the hand of
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there is
something deliciously restful about
The vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine river. which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is n of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. II is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
ciio railway from It's eastern termi-
"a to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points. but
never to the exclusion Of grass. There
is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
Durpose-either for filling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is a town of over 1000
inhabitants. and n Of the most i'm
Dortant places in Assinlboia, being the
center of a very good farming coun-
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
he town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need OF the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots In the town.
Stories YER told the writer of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which 1t was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
Of the large crop md high price for
wheat last year."-Henry F. Thurston.
By sending your address to any
agent of the Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you a copy of
an atlas, railway rates, ETC., giving
fullest information regarding Western
Canada.

rhe Futuro LIE Of Animals.

Sir William Blunden, a doctor and
baronet, has just favored a meeting
of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals with some views
on the future state of animals. He
certainly believed" he said, "in the
future existence of animals, and
though he could not bring forward
evidence in support of the PROPOSE.
ton, he could not at the same time
bring forward evidence to the con
trary. If they took the case of the
tinker's ass, which was born and
reared in hardship, he found it hard
to think that a merciful Creator
formed that animal merely to suffer
at the hands of man without receiv.
ing some compensation in the next
life. If not in the present"
