COMPANY IN TWO FARES.
Came About Through shrewd Pas.
senger's Little Dodge on the
Crooked Conductor.

1t takes a pretty slick man to beat
street car conductor in this town, but
looking old gentleman did it on his
way uptown a few nights ago, much to
the amusement of his fellow passengers.
It cost the old gentleman ten cents to ac-
complish his purpose, but he, and every
one else who saw the transaction, agreed
that it was worth the money, says the
New York Sun. .. .@
The apparently peaceful one was read
ing his newspaper contentedly when
the conductor stopped in front of him
and yelled Fare, pleased" in such a
domineering tone that all the passen-
gers looked up expecting to see some
one carefully picking out five cents to
offer as fare. sr "ns.
The old gentleman wasn't OF that
kind, however. He drew from his pock-
ct handful of coins which turned out to
consist of about 20 coppers and a
quarter. Without celebrating a mo-
ment he handed the quarter to the con-
ductor and the latter offered dime and
ten one-cent pieces in change.
The old gentleman took Ike dime, but
baked at the coppers.
"See here" he demonstrated, "I've
got bunch of that sort of chicken
feed IN my pocket now that might have
given to you, but I went out of my way
not to. Won't you please give me dime
or -nickels instead of those cents?"
"Naw," growled the conductor, still
offering the rejected change. Take em
or leave EN- -:
do you think that's very decent?"
asked the passenger
"Take 'em or leave EN-" persisted
the conductor.
The old gentleman didn't make
move to take his money and the COLI
ductor stood first on one foot and then
on the other for minute or two. Then
he went back to the platform carrying
the rejected coins with, him.
Aren't you going to give me nick
els?" asked the passenger every time
the conductor came down the aisle
"Naw!" replied the naughty one with
greatregularity, andthe passengers Won
dered if the old man was going to make
the conductor a present of those small
coins rather than burden his pockets
with them.
He didn't.
When he reached his destination and
the car had stopped for him to alight, he
made one last plea.
"Naw," said the conductor.
All right" replied his stubborn pas
senger; turn 'em in to the company
then"
And before he alighted he grabbed the
register strap and rang up two fares.
Then he smiled because the conductor
swore.

ONE DOLLAR WHEAT.
Western Canada's Wheat Fields Pro.
duce 1t-Magnidcent Yields-Free
Grants Of Land to Settlers.

The returns of the Interior Depart
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time waa.
says the Winnipeg Free Press. when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and 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 1905 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 3,S89,
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
legiauce to, the Dominion. Last year
no less than 11,841 Americans entered
for homestead lands in Canada.
From the Gulf to tha-Bcunaary, 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
North West. It is no tentative, half
hearted departure for an alien coun"
try that is manifested in this exodus:
it has become almost rush to secure
possession of land which it is feared,
by those imperfectly acquainted With
<he vast area of Canada's vacant lands,
may all be acquired before they ST.
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 we'll afford to welcome
cordially every American farmer COM
ing to the Dominion. There is no
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:

INTENSE SIBERIAN COLD.
More Terrible Than Anything Expe-
rienced in Northern Montana
or Greenland.

Americans regard the cold weather of
Montana as the extreme of arctic severi-
ty. Greedy in his American Weather"
notes as highly exceptional records in
that vicinity, the worst of several years:
St. Vincent, Mimi, 81 below; Fort AS
siniboine, 55.4 below; Fort Benton, SO
below and Poplar River, GO below. The
last three stations are in Montana. It
is not unlikely, says the New York Trib-
une, that in the territories of British
America, lying just to the north of that
state, and in the very heart of the con-
tinent, the cold has been slightly more
severe than that just specified, but it is
hard to obtain an authoritative record.
While Greedy was at Fort Conger, in
latitude ST., in 1922, his lowest temper
ature was 66.2 below, though he reports
a drop to 70.8 in that vicinity in 1876.
He also mentions record of 1873 below
at Floeberg Beach, which is in latitude
83.5 north of the channel between
Greenland and Grant Land
But in Siberia a more terrible cold is
experienced. At Yakutsk (Which must
not be COMPOUNDED with 1rkutsk), in
latitude 81, the average for the three
winter months together is 40 below
zero, while Individual drops to Is and
rs below are not unknown. The cold
est station where official and trust
worthy observations have been made,
though, is little north of Yakutsk. 1t
is in the vicinity of those mines to which
Russia used to send her political prison.
ers. Veykjohansk is in latitude 67.5, just
within the arctic circle, but much far
Their south than Greely's station at Fort
Conger. 1t is inland about $50 miles
from the Arctic ocean. During jan
uary, 1885, the whole month averaged
63.9 below zero, which is only a trifle
above the minimum for a few hours
observed by Greedy at Fort Conger. The
preceding and following months at
Verkjohansk had average temperatures
but little higher than that of January
The lowest single fall, the lowest on
record anywhere in the world, was to
904 below zero.

consulted her brother, Gen. Laurent,
who was her adviser when she needed
one. He appreciated the position and
the necessity for immediate action.
"Julia," he said, impressively, "as .
military man, l should say there is
nothing so effective as removal from
station There is danger in propinQuity
and opportunity. Make occasion for =
prolonged trip abroad"
1t was no difficult matter for Mrs.
Vaughn to convince her physician that
an ocean voyage was essential to her
state OF health. Christine, though be-
wildered at the suddenness of the jour-
ney, saw no hidden motive. They would
be gone but year, and perhaps an alb
sence would bring Maurice to realiza-
ton OF, the pleasure he took in her socle-
ty, in talking to her and cultivating her
voice.. In all their. discussions on diff
ferent subjects they experienced mutual
interest, but their discussions had never
touched upon personal topics, nor had
he sought to interest her in himself.
She had come to his studio that morn
ing to bid him adieu, vaguely hoping
that something-she knew not what
might happen; nothing did, and she half
expected to see him at board ship, but
she found box of flowers and polite
little note wishing her bon voyage.
She enjoyed life in Paris to the full,
but was quite ready to return home at
the end of the year which was the pro-
posed expiration of their trip. AS the
others in their party wished to continue
their travels, another year found them
still abroad.
These two years had not been idle
ones with Maurice Cramer. He had
finished the composition of an opera that
had been life work with him and it had
been successfully put on the stage. The
hit was tremendous and he had now
found himself the lion of New York
drawing rooms, a position he coveted
with only one object in view.
1t was with mingled sensations that
he received a note from Christine one
morning announcing their return and
saying that she would be at the studio
at her old lesson hour, which he had
kept sacred to her memory.
At the appointed hour she entered.
AS he heard the well-remembered knock
and the opening of the door, he turned
and rose with outstretched hand. Her

COW AND PIG WERE CHUMS.
An Odd Animal Friendship Which
Led to All Sorts of Trouble
and Mischief.

A lady who has a large estate in
BroOkline, Mass, tells an amusing story
of an odd friendship between two ami
mails that lived on the place. The COW
had been resident for over two years
when pig was added to the stable
Piggy was put for few weeks in quar-
tiers beside the cow. In May the cow was
staked out in the field to feed on grass.
Contrary to her previous custom, she
seemed very uneasy, feeding little and
then uttering a serious of mournful bel
lows, like COW deprived of her calf
The pig in the stable, too, kept up a
series of shrill squeals. '- ' .-
Disturbed by the noise, the lady sent
for the stableman, to ask what was the
trouble
Sure, ma'am, I dunno" said he. "The
cow do seem most unhappy An the pig,
too"
Put the COW back in the stable the
lady said. l cannot endure such noise. !"
This was done, and quiet prevailed for
the rest of that day. The following
morning the cow was again turned out.
The lamentations began again. Again
was the COW returned to the stable, and
silence reigned. The third day the
stableman quieted the tumult by putting
piggy out in the field, too. Both animals
fed in peace and quiet. And since the
pig did good to the orchard rather than
harm by his roofing, he was allowed the
freedom of the field with the COW.
If the pig got few rods away from his
friend he would throw up his snout and
squeal his loudest, and then scamrer
back to her as fast as his legs would
carry him. When they slept the pig lay
beside the cow. Their affection was mu-
tual.
The friendship continued in this wise
until spring, when the COW had a calf.
She had then small interest in her
friend, the pig, and he, poor creature,
was consumed with jealousy. He rooted
the boards of his pen so persistently that
be broke it down and got in with the
low. Then he rooted and bit the calf
viciously. The maternal wrath of the
COW was reused, and there was trouble
in the stable. The COW was hooking and
trampling, and the pig was roofing and
biting cow and calf Unfortunately.
The stableman went to the rescue. He
drove the pig back into his own quarters
and repaired the pen. Piggy sulked for
two days, refusing to eat, and then he
apparently recovered his spirits and ac-
copied the new conditions. At times
during the summer, however, he turned
Jealous and rooted viciously at the divid-
ing boards and squealed forth his hurt
feelings.
Whether the COW and pig would have
resumed their former friendly relations
cannot be told, for the luckless porker,
being now in good condition. went the
way of his kind-Youth's Companion.
