Disappointed.


During his residence in Canada,
Ernest Thompson Seton, the well
known writer of nature books, visited
Niagara often. Recently he said:
Sometimes at Niagara | would fra
ternize with the Cables there. |
would ask them to tell me the odd
comments on the falls that they had
heard strangers and foreigners make
from time to time. Many an odd COM
ment | would come upon in this way.
AS odd a one as any was that which
an Englishman made.
This Englishman, porter in Lon
don, had come all the way across the
Atlantic in December, when the rates
were low, to see Niagara. The spec
tacle had somewhat disappointed him.
He said to cabby, over mug of gin
ger beer, on the night of his arrival:
GAS for the falls, they're 'andsome
quite so. But they don't quite hand
swer my expectations. Besides, got
thoroughly vetted and lost me at.
Prefer to look at 'em in hengravine
in 'ot weather, in the house,"

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

Will Canada in the next quarter OF
. 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
nas reached high water mark as a
wheat exporting country The In
creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con-
sumption Is becoming annually great
er in proportion than the increase In
wheat production. AS a matter Of
,act wheat production Is decreasing
over there as the land becomes more
valuable and by reason of the demand
,or other forms of produce for home
consumption. 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
1903. 1t is estimated that this year
The United States surplus for export
will not be over 100,000,000, which Is
.ess than any year since 1878 with
.wo exceptions. Not only Is this the
case, but a considerable quantity of
the best Canadian wheat is being i'm
ported into Minnesota and also Chi
cago.
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
Northwest, where land is cheap and
can be farmed on wholesale basis,
particulars Of which may be had from
any Canadian Government Agent.
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence of in.
.reasing Canadian 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 expan'
sion of the Dominion into the actual
position Of the "granary OF the en-
Dire"

LOUBET AS A BOY.
cool-Headed Act Foreshadowed Ca
reer in After Life.


The young Loubet, being ten years
old, was once bathing in the Drome
with certain older lads. One of them
got beyond his depth and was swept
away by the current. The Loubet lad
heard his cry for help and studied the
situation. 1t was evident that he
couldn't get that big boy ashore. So
he kept out of reach and watched him.
The drowning boy kept going up and
down, swallowing water.
At last he was so nearly drowned
that there was no struggle in him.
Then my little Loubet swan up, caught
him by the hair and towed him ashore.
1t was a pretty bit of calculation. Inc
big fellow was only three-parts drown
ed and they pumped him out and
made him. as good as new. One might
have prophesied that Loubet would be
a politician. From just such trouble
waters he fished out-three parts
drowned-his election to the presiden
cy. Just so canny, just so "judgmati'
CALI has his entire political career
been. That boy was the father OF
the calm, clear headed, well meaning
honest man who is today the first
citizen of the third epublic.-Every

What He'd Have Done.

She ran away, blushing, and soon
I saw her strolling, with careful care
lessness, toward the grove. 1t was
long half hour-though | shortened it
by ten minutes. In the sacred grove
she came to me without word and
frankly and Loyalty offered her sweet
lips.
When I raised my hand saw that
she was pale. She trembled and laid
hand on my shoulder as IL for sup
port. Then she laughed softly and
whispered:

"Pierpont Morgan is a quiet man"
said a Wall street broker. He only
speaks when he has something good
and memorable to say.
Recently he wanted to get super
intendent for a certain new depart
ment that he had established. He
thought he knew the man for this SUI
perintendency-a assistant to one OF
his colleagues. He sent for the col
league and said:

TEN of finger-mark Identification,
which is based on the Bertillon con-
tention that the lines on the skin of
the finger tip do not alter, says the
New York World. If the skin be-
comes worn away the lines will repeat
themselves. This method of recogni-
ton is used in England, in Cairo,
Dresden, Vienna and Buenos Ayres.
1t is simpler than the older method
of bodily measurements. A metal
plate is covered with a liquid black
pigment and the finger tip is pressed
on to it. The finger marks are mag.

the compartments are examined and

At the early age Of 80 settled down
to life of single blessedness on my
.patrimonial estate. l had seen life
and the world in every phase and eli.
mate and congratulated myself on
being through with storms, literal and
figurative.
This idyllic existence was rudely in.
terrupted by the rising OF the widow
above my horizon. When she burst
upon my vision the history of the
world recommended. For day and a
night l was dazzled, stupefied, and
when learned that her lands adjoin-
ed mine l knew by instinct that it was
all up with me.
am not one of those who struggle
against their passions and for my eX-
pected tranquility l had counted not
on my will, but on freedom from
temptation.
So [ let myself go. I visited my
neighbor and did not conceal from her
the feeling with which she had in
spired me. Accustomed to admiration
and declarations of love, she received
mine calmly, but replied:
Il shall never marry again. My hus-
band was the best of men and l loved
him dearly. That is enough for one
life"
And when l urged, pleaded, protest
ed with the energy of sudden passion
she smiled and said:
What tyrant you would be! No,
wish to be free"
She was a Creole of New Orleans
and possessed the soft, dangerous
beauty that, even in it's decline, made
another creole widow, Josephine Beau
harnais, so irresistible. But my w!d-
ow was only "a years old and yet
in the perfect bloom of youth. Her
late husband, an American railway
promoter, had left her large fortune,
which she appeared anxious to ex-
change for French soil. After pur-
chasing the estate adjoining mine she
successfully acquired other properties
until she threatened to surround and
ingulf me. One day she said:
you have a lovely bit Of forest
that makes an ugly jog in my line.
will give you a hundred thousand
francs for it."
ut is not for sale-to you" replied
"Take it if you want it,"
She raised her eyebrows and he1
shoulders and dropped the subject, but
returned to it next day in the billiard
room Of old Count Lavileuce, whom
she had just defeated, for she was ar
excellent player, for a woman.
Come" she said, Il will play you
for a promise to sell against that pic
ture by Drinks that you covet So"
Then lost my head and answered
mo, but will stake the forest agains
a kiss!"
She looked at me more in amuse
ment than in anger.
"You are joking" she said.
Gam l? You know | would gladl,
sell the forest for kiss, but l know
you would not consent to the eS
change. So let us play for them"

herself confronted by an awkward
conflguration, but the shot was so
much easier than some which she had
made that l gave up the game for

| could hardly hold the cue. 1t was
an easy shot, but not for me at that
