THE RESTLESS AMERICAN.

Mexico for adventure, Canada for
wealth." is the slogan of the hot
footed American who tires of being
fixture in any land.
The dream of vast land grants,
poems, cattle, gold mines and rich
townsite schemes in Mexico is now
Turing hundreds of Americans to that
land of la manana, where things are
never done today, but always, en- la
manana, tomorrow, in the morning,
some other day.
But for quick wealth. rapid in
crease, multiplication of invested
money, Canada wheat land offers the
best opportunity of ALL That vast
upland empire, throbbing with un-
told yields of cereal crops, within
hailing distance of the Pacific sea-
board, and at the steamship gateway
to the Oriental markets, is now the
most promising field for Americans
on the globe.
There are opportunities in Mexico,
it is true. But the average American
is handicapped by not knowing the
language; by being unfamiliar with
the erratic customs of the country;
by being too fast for the sluggish
Mexican nature and disposition.
Some few will succeed in that south
ern climate, Many more will woeful-
ly fail. 1t is a land of picturesque
appearances, but of sorry realities.
Few Americans will remain long
enough to reap the full fruition of
their venture.
But Canada is semi-American. In
language, manners, customs, tricks
and traffic. the people of the two
countries are similar. The American
pioneer will have to learn no new
and alien tongue in order to begin
life in that country.
Land values are increasing in
| Canada at a rate that is amazing.
Five, or 10 years at most, will suf-
| flee to make any thrifty American

fortunes and bad management The
climate is not vastly different from
that in Northern oregon. 1t is vigor-
Gus. life-giving and spicy. If any
thing, the crisp northern breezes will
add to the shrewdness of the Yankee
intellect, while the voluptuousness of
the Mexican dreamland will unnerve

ASTOR AND THE POET.

John Jacob Astor and his son rig

office-a little one-story building in

April McClure's. Their constant com
panion there was Fitzgreene Halleck
Marco Bozzaris Halleck. Halleck
became a clerk for Astor in 1882, and
worked II years. The employment,
he himself said, was not profitable,
but permanent" Astor warned him
when he began not TO talk to anyone
Of his wealth. The two men became
great friends. Halleck spent months
with his patron at his country seat
and became one of the trustees of
the Astor library. The poet frequent

why, Mr. Astor," he would say, "if
I had 5000 year and was sure Of 1t

owner took him at his word, and in
his will, much to the amusement Of
Bohemian New York, left Halleck an
annuity of 5000.

BAD FORM OF TETTER.

For three years had letter on my hands,
which caused them to swell to twice their
natural size. Part of the time the disease
was in the form Of running sores, very pain
full, and causing me much discomfort. Four
doctors said the letter had progressed too
far to be cured, and they could do nothing
for me. Itook only three bottles of S. S. s..
and was completely cured. This was fifteen
years ago, and have never since seen any
sign of my old trouble.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, May, 1898.
In 1896 I experienced at times
patches on the inside of my hands that
itched and burned, causing much dis
comfort. AS time went by it grew
worse. I had read medicine in my
early twenties (now so years of age)
and was convinced that Twas afflicted
with a type of Eczema. I consulted
several physicians and a number of
specialists, and used several external
applications, one of which was claim
ed to be a certain specific. I confess,
however, l had but little faith in
external applications, yet used them,
receiving but slight temporary relief.
In February I decided to try S. S. S.,
and in less than a month experienced
a change for the better, and by May
of that year all symptoms had dis
appeared, and 1 found myself entirely
cured, and have had no return of the

~ Rosume OF the Weeks
Proceedings.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE naval ap-
preparation bill yesterday further oc-
cupied the attention of the house for a
major portion of the session, but the
debate was without particular incident
and no material amendment was
adopted. Before taking up the naval
bill the house entered an emphatic
protest against the action of the en-
ate in amending the agricultural ap-
preparation bill so as to interpret the
drawback feature of the Dingley tariff
act affecting wheat. BY a vote of 261
to 5 the bill was sen back to the SEN
ate, with the conclusion that the
amendment was al infringement on
the privilege OF the house to initiate
revenue legislation.
The Mann bill to provide a govern

to protect the inhabitants in the free
enjoyment of their liberty, prosperity

commission and places the work of the
construction of the canal in the hands

he may appoint and employ. 1t does

Washington, Feb. 81. - The house
yesterday, after a seven-hour session,
passed the naval appropriation bill,
carrying a total of s99, 914,35s. The
provision for two battleships, as re.
ported by the committee on naval af-
fair, was retained. Party lines were
broken over the proposal, at least 40
Democrats voting for the bill. while
about an equal number of Republicans
voted in opposition. Several important
changes in the bill were made. The

Washington, Feb. 90. - The house

pensions allowed under Order No.

about $4,000, 900. 1t was contended
that the order was without authority

The senate decided O to admit as
