KITTEN BLOCKED SIDEWALK.
Everybody Dodged the Dirty Feline
Until a Banker Appeared.

At noon to-day, when Park Row,
Manhattan. was crowded with hungry
mortals, looking for their favorite
eating place, half-starved black and
white kitten made it's appearance on
the sidewalk. 1t might have wander
ed out of some cellar or some tattered
newsboy dropped it, hoping to see
some fun. The ball of dirty fur land
ed directly in front Of a clerk. He
made frantic effort to avoid stepping
on the kitten and was successful. a
young woman following stepped to
one side. The crowd followed her
lead, Then, at the rate of hundred
or SO a minute, people were turning
aside lest they injure the kitten. Any
one of the number could easily have
raised the little mass of bones on his
or her toe and tossed it into the gut
ter. The kitten held full possession
of the sidewalk for fully five minutes.
Then banker, whose time is worth
several dollars minute, caught up
the little feline, worthless from al.
most everybody's point Of view, and
carried it a distance of twenty feet
and tenderly deposited 1t in an alley.

MI.y. III. WriQhf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is =
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by .
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
As proof Of this theory we call A.
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright. Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:

Paul hurried in the trail of the
bear, and dreamed. not of danger.
Suddenly there came from beneath
his feet a loud cracking sound like
the report of battery of artillery
fired in unison, and the great ice foe
on which he stood began to tremble
and rock.
Dumb with amazement he stood and
trembled with some unknown dread.
1t was several seconds before Paul
comprehended his danger, and then
it was too late. The ice foe with its
glittering spires had parted from the
shore and was drifting out to sea.
Already it was too far for him to
reach the land on which his compan-
ion stood wringing his hands in
despair.
A terrible death seemed staring
him in the face, when new danger
arose. On his ears there burst q
fierce growl and looking up on an
elevated portion of the ice foe rapid
ly drifting with him toward the sea,
he beheld monster polar bear glar-
ing at him with the fiery eyes of rage
and hate.

Discouraqina Flax Outlook.

The general outlook for flaxseed ap-
peals to the ordinary farmer at this
season OF the year and farmers who
consider the advisability OF fax rails
ing will be interested in the condi-
lions which have governed the flax
market during the past year and
which will be criterion for the con-
ditions of the coming crop. Leading
statisticians figure that at this time
there is an equivalent to 10 million
bushels of seed in seed and oil in
Minneapolis and Duluth; that country
elevators and farmers hold at least
5 million bushels and that outside of
the flax belt, there are million
bushels more in storage tanks. This
makes an available supply of flax in
the seed and oil of at least 20 million
bushels. The normal consumption of
seed for all purposes in the United
States is approximately - million
bushels. 1t is, therefore. apparent
that an actual surplus of about l mil
lion bushels is now in sight, after
allowing for all demands for seed
during the coming year. 1t is now GER
tain that Europe will be able to draw
from the countries usually supplying
Europe, at least As million bushels,
and that no possibility for exporting
any Of our seed presents itself. Dam
age reports from Irdia and Argentine
have been shown to be highly exag-
gerated. The United States. con-
sequeptly. will be obliged to take care
OF all the seed now in sight with that
Of another crop. This will have de-
pressing effect on the prices in this
country and means that the values of
seed will be largely regulated by this
enormous surplus, to be further aug
mented by the coming crop In view
of the foregoing it is hardly likely
that American farmers are going to
take any chances in sowing unusual
quantities of flax this year. Farmers
In the sections which produced the
major portion Of last years crop are
hesitating and the enormous available
supply, together with almost certain
lower prices. certainly are good rea-
sons for serious consideration. A good
crop of fax added to existing stocks
will naturally mean unprecedented low
values, and farmers are not going to
take any risk as long as inducements
are held out to them in the way of
high priced wheat and other cereals

CHAPTER VII.
Glum Ralston's Return.

Siuul 1lIlotOu IlCIuFu.
After the frantic effort on the part
of Belcher to seize Ethel Berry for
discovering him to have been in Lack
lands employ, the wounded man grew
sullen. The miners were anxious to
hang him and to have it over with,
but cooler heads prevailed. ct will
never do said Clarence Berry, ito
destroy the only hope we have of
recovering Paul's gold and solving
this mystery. which deepens with
every new development. Besides, we
have had no lynching yet in the Klon-
dyke. and let us not have any if we
can avoid it,"
One evening after the simple re
past was over, Clarence and Ethel sat
discussing the probable fate of Paul,
VINO was never out of Ethel's mind.
Poor Paul. he must be dead" she
said her eyes filing with tears. 81
must write to Laura; must tell her
his awful fate"
After a few moments silence he
heaved a sigh and said:
1T will be very bad news"
She must know it some time,
Clarence"
That is true, and perhaps the
knowledge of his fate, awful as it is,
will not equal the suspense"
Il will write tomorrow. When
can the letter get through"
Not before spring-you need not
hurry" he answered, with a sad
smile
Suddenly the door was caused to
quake by the thump from a giant
fist, and, opening it, they found their
nightly visitor, Dick, but he was not
alone this time, Gid Myers was at his
side. The faces of the two men wore
looks Of anxiety.
What is the matter?" asked Clar.
ence.
I'VE want yer gun, Clarence" said
Long Dick, as soon as he could re-
gain his breath. II want to tell We
on the dead that there's either some
man.. bear or old Nick up on the
hill"
Fearing their excited Imagination
had conjured up monster from a
wandering polar bear, though those
animals were seldom seen in that part
of the country, Clarence took down
his Winchester rife and accompanied
his companions to the foot of the hill,
where the mysterious creature had
been seen. A tall, garmt object with
warm bearskin coat hanging loosely
about his shoulders was coming
slowly down the hill. The approach
ing stranger had his gun strapped on
his back. A Ratchet was in the belt
at his side with his pistols, and ne
was leaning heavily on long, stout
stick. He came slowly, as ii very
weary.
Curiosity gave way to pity, and they
hurried up to meet him.

Twenty Thousand satracIans, Which

Twenty thousand frogs year are
used for dissecting and experimental
purposes in the University Of Pennsyl
vania medical laboratories.
Both medical and dental classes
view the experiments.
Frogs exist in peculiar manner
Their spinal cord constitutes the basis
of their intelligence, and after their
brain is destroyed they will live for an
indefinite period. Several years ago
the brain of one was taken out. To.
day the frog is alive and well and
jumping about its cage.
Frequently holes are made in the
back of frogs head and the brains
loosened with burnt match stick.
Much useful and valuable knowledge
has been obtained from these expert.
ments.
AS the Pennsylvania law forbids the
hunting of bullfrogs except during GER
tain months of the year. the frog
catcher has to make a careful distinc-
ton between frogs and bullfrogs.
The frog is much smaller and Of a
different color.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

i, It was thought in 1903, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit of the yearly immigration to
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number Of Ameri-
can citizens signified their intention
OF becoming settlers on Canadian
lands. the general public were pre-
Jared for the announcement of large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when it is made
known that predictions of fully fifty
thousand more in 1906 are warranted
in the fact that the Spring movement
Canadaward is greater than it has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha. Chicago, St. Paul, Detroit,
and other gateways has been crowd
ed Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources, sat
isfied that what others have done can
also be done by them. This year
nuch new territory has been opened
UP by the railroads which are extend
ing their main lines and throwing out
branches in their march across the
best grain and grazing lands on the
continent. This new territory has
attractions for those desiring to home
stead on the one hundred and sixty
acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to
convince one that If Iowa. Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre,
the lands Of Western Canada at seven
TO ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of q
superior wheat to the acre should
produce q competence to the ordinary
farmer in very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions Of acres
/ of such land in Western Canada in
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in.
vited the cattle and horse producer
et the North American continent
What is particularly evident in West
sern Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands. adjoining the grazing lands
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable. The agents of the
4 Canadian Government. who are Il
ways willing to give information and
advice to intending settlers, say that
the acreage put under crop this sea
son is greatly in excess ol last Ga
son. 5f5
