CANADA HAS
AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE.

The Saskatchewan Valley Very Hiahly
Favored.
An interesting feature OF. Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made study of it speak highly
OF it. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas. and
at the same time giving valuable in.
formation concerning railway rates.
etc.. to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is az.
cellent. The elevation of this part of
Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea. about twice that of the average
for Minnesota. It is a very desirable
altitude. The country has a very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. r
F. Stupart, director of the meteorologi
cal service for Canada, says:
THE salient features of the climate
of the Canadian northwest territories
are a clear. bracing atmosphere DUR
ing the greater part of the year, and
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni.
peg is sc, and Prince Albert 60. The
former temperature is higher than at
any part of England, and the latter is
very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche.
wan valley, being about Is inches an.
nually. It is notable that about Is
per cent Of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can.
ada gets as much moisture when it is
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season. it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield beautifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

HER WAY.
CHANCE REMARK STARTS INQUIRY

investigation of the poisoning Of, Miss

has led to strongly fixed belle. on
the part of the officers here that it
was a. case of suicide planned to draw
into serious trouble the woman who
stood in the way of Miss Nelson's
probable marriage with Sherman Dye.
This conclusion has been reached af-
ter gathering up shreds and fragments
of evidence. and has been reinforced
by Investigations which have just
been completed by Pierre officers at
Boone, Iowa.
While Miss Nelson in a statement
made before her death accused Mrs.
Dye, and the coroner's inquest did not
develop anything to the contrary,
there were several
Peculiar Circumstances
connected with the case, and a chance
remark heard on the street after the
coroner's jury had completed it's work,
started thorough investigation.
One of the first points to cause COM
ment was the fact that while the girl
claimed to have eaten the poison Sat-
urday afternoon, it did not take effect
until late Sunday night. Corrosive
sublimate is supposed to work within
a few hours after it is taken. The
chance remark which started further
investigation was that of confection-
er, who said that on the day in ques-
ton Miss Nelson came into his store
and wanted an empty candy box He
had none which would suit her and
She Left the Place.
A further Investigation showed that
she went to another confectioner and
there bought a box identical with the
one she alleged she received, and had
it filed with candies identical with
those left in the box.
Furthermore. the address on the
box was written upon an envelope.

The box was not received until Feb.

they have at all times been doubtful
that the box showed the address on

search of the home has

the existence of any box other than
the one she is now known to have

in January. Mrs. Dye admits writing
her in that month, and as the address
pasted on the box was postmarked in
January, it may be the same one.
After thorough investigation here
the officers went to Boone and inves.

conclusion that it was a case of self.
destruction, with an attempt to fasten
a crime on Mrs. Dye.

as the foxes are very well fed, these belts bring the highest market prices These range from $5 to $S each-truly surprising rates when one considers that a good fox pelt, eight years ago. brought but $2. The foxes that are not so good are sold at various prices to hunt clubs, menageries, ZOOS, etc. There is a steady demand for both the skins and the live foxes, so that bus mess on the Maine farm is always good.
 When the farm was started only the native red Maine fox was reared, but since the venture has proved such a vast success the farmer has obtained, by exchange, numerous other varieties of foxes, including the silver gray fox and the Alaska blue fox, whose belts bring the highest prices. being made into boas and muffs. No pelt of the silver fox brings less than $10O, and that of the red fox not less than $30. Some of the common red fox belts are dyed brown or black, and thus bring a handsome price.

tian fleet was enabled to advance some distance in the polar regions. Under cover of night, which lasted nearly forty eight hours on Mars the army advanced over the diminished ice, lying prostrate all day. After fifteen nights of such marching xaer learned from scouts out that he was but one days march from the Phobian stronghold, a cavern which extended for several leagues beneath the ground
 The next night the Martians advanced upon the cavern but the Phobians scented danger and rushed out to defend them selves Pouring from numerous en- frances they fought desperately against their opponents. but to no avail. They were taken by surprise and were slowly driven back to their retreat. After sev- eral days of severe fighting. in which the Martians lost many warriors and Xaer performed numerous feats of valor the Phobians were all driven within the cav ern. Then 1t was decided to exterminate the entire race through a masterpiece of cruelty evolved by Xaer.
 At every entrance to the cavern ehemi- cal batteries were stationed. When xaer was sure that every avenue of escape was closed he gave the order to begin firing Immediately the Martians hurled great volumes of poisonous gases and
  the Phobians attempted to escape they were overcome in the passages. For days and days the pitiless work was continued, until every man, woman and child in all that vast cavern was dead. and tradi- tion says there were nearly sOo00o,
 When their awful work was finished the Martfans sealed up the entrances and de- parted. The foe that had harried them for ages was annihilated. The fierce Phobians would descend upon them no more from the south and not one of that once powerful race was now alive. The iubilation of the Martians may we'll be imagined. Ether bulletins had announced the victory of the cities and when the army came back in the ships. leaving many ships and warriors behind, there was great rejoicing.
 The residents of Martian capitals assem- bled at Huilpi. which stood on the shore of the summer sea, and when the fleet hove in sight thunderous salutes were fired that resounded far and wide over the planet and at night Huilpi shone like a jewel.
 Xaer was proclaimed a national hero Everywhere his praises were sounded and there was a strong movement to make him ruler over Mars. Learning the dispo- sition of the people the patriarchs met to- gether and formally proclaimed Xaer king of the Martians and ruler of the twelve cities.
 Thus was established the dynasty of xaer. which held the throne for 200 years, During this period the Martians made such progress in art. literature and sci- ence that they surpassed all other dweil- CTS in space.

FOX FARMING.
A New Industry Which Has Been Start
 ed in Maine.

 From the Illustrated Sporting News.
 One of the most interesting farms in New England is that which is devoted to fox farming in Piscotaquis county, Maine, where large quantities of foxes are bred for various purposes, largely for their pelts, but also for hunting clubs. menageries and ZOOS in various parts of the country.
 The idea of breeding foxes occurred to the Maine farmer about three years ago. He owned a rocky, unproftable farm. and had half concluded to aban- don 1t and seek the great west, when he was asked by stray gunner from the city if he ever caught foxes to sell to hunting clubs. The question opened up to him a new possibility, and he set to work to capture foxes, which were fairly numerous in that part of the country.
 His farm covers about three acres. and this he has had thoroughly fenced with heavy wire netting, seven feet high, and buried three feet in the earth, that Master Reynard may not burrow out of his corral Scattered about " farm are a number of small buildings not much larger than dog houses. In these the foxes may seek shelter if they do not care for their burrows.
 There are about 150 foxes on the farm at a time Those which have the finest pelts are killed off each win ter at the time fur is at it's best, and,

How the Mink Hunts.

From Country Life in America.
 If you will follow a mnk's track in the snow any winter day it will usually lead you before long to the mute story of a tragedy-just some trampled snow and a. red stain. The whole method of the mink's hunting is told by the snow. We see how 1t follows a rabbit, taking every precaution not to betray its presence while the wretched creature feeds, for then it is alert; how 1t follows bunny to where 1t sleeps beneath a log an upturn- ed root, or the snow-covered top of a fallen tree, and then stealthily creeps on the unsuspecting prey. How, sometimes the rustling of dead leaf warns the rabbit, who leaps forward perhaps just in time to avoid the furious onslaught of the mink; though more often too late, and the red stain tells us that the rabbjt has been eaten where it expected to sleep.

The Bible was not Burned.

 Samuel Jackson died at his home in Independence. He was an old time negro. He was fond of telling stories of the times before the war, and one was or miracle he saw with his own eyes. The old log house known as the Hudspeth home in Fort Osage township was burned by the Federals under the famous order No. Il. Mrs. Hudspeth was a very old and devout lady, and she had the record of her family In an old family bible, which, at the time of the ire was in a cupboard in the old house. When the house was smoldering, the old lady called Sam and pointed to a place where the fire had been the hottest and ordered him to take long handled rake and dig into the coals. She told him he would lind the Bible there unharmed. The negro dug into the coals and got out the Bible, which was scorched around the edges Of the heavy leather cover, but unharmed inside. Old Sam always referred to this as a miracle.

Outdoor Sports in Porto Rico.

From the San Juan News.
 The idea which once prevailed among Americans in Porto Rico that northern outdoor sports such as baseball. tennis. etc., could not be successfully introduced into Porto Rico is now waning. The Americans have virtually made baseball the national outdoor sport of Porto Rice, as it has been for A long time in the United States. Tennis tournaments are being held, and football, cycling and other sports have been tried to some extent. When a northerner becomes accimated he seems to enjoy outdoor sports here about the same as he does in the north. What a great many of us need here in the tropics Is exercise, but too often we are disinclined to take 1t.
