The man who is too lazy to work

makes his escape as soon as he dis
covers that there, at least, means has
been found to make him work.
When a prisoner or pauper refuses
to work he is lowered into a cistern,
which is provided with pump at the
bottom. A stream Of water is turned
ON and the idler is left to his own de-
vices. The capacity Of the pump is
but slightly in excess of the stream
flowing into the tank and to keep his
head above water he must keep pump.

time before he finds that the water is

water after a short time, but he has
to keep at work if he wishes to keer

vide that each shall be represented in
the Senate Of Canada by four mem-
bers and in the House of Commons by
five members, the number in the lower
house being readjusted from time to
time according to population. Each
shall have a Lieutenant Governor and
a Legislative Assembly, to be COIN
posed at the outset Of twenty-five
members.
The government of Canada is to pay
to each province the sum of $4,000 a
year for tile support of its government
and legislature. The Dominion lands
will continue to be vested in tho
crown, but the Canadian government
will compensate the provinces for
them by a series of annual payments.
The present estimated value Of the
public lands is S1.50 an acre.
The map shows that the two prov
, inces take in all the territory Of the
four territories excepting little Of the
eastern parts Of Athabasca and Sas-
katchewan.
The time will probably come when It
will be deemed best to divide these
provinces again into smaller ones.
Each Of them is about four times as
large as New York State, and their
total territory is about as large as
Central Europe.
This is a great region, which, with
Manitoba, is estimated by the Deputy
Minister of Agriculture to be destined
within ten years to produce annually
350,000,0O0 bushels of wheat, 200,0OO,-
600 bushels of oats, and 50,0O0,OOO
bushels of barley, and this without
cropping more than about one-third Of
the tillable area
The two provinces divide the vast
area nearly equally. Regina will be
the capital Of Saskatchewan; the capt.
tai Of Alberta will be temporarily at
Edmonton until the Legislature of that
province decides upon It's permanent
sltuation.-Washingt Post.

The burglar grasped the notes. He

She only knows to keep the cot
And sOOthe the children's crying.
Not hers to stand in temples bright,
Sad strige for strife returning;
She only knows the lamps to light
And keep the nome fires burning.
Not hers to move with iron will
In paths of strange endeavor;

A life so sweetly human,

A BANK BURGLARY.
@~NNNN~N~0

TT was not often that Mr.. Butler,
manager of the Gable street
branch OF the London and South
western Bank, had occasion to visit his
Offices after business hours. But a
banking business is like no other-a
bank manager is man upon whose
shoulders rests much responsibility.
Mr.. Butler had been worried during
the four hours which had elapsed since
he put on his coat and hat and left the
building at o'clock. 1t was tricky
calculation that worried him, and he
was not quite certain, as he dallied
over his coffee, whether or not he was
on the eve of making a great mistake.
That is why, contrary to his custom,
he ordered his electric brougham, drove
to the city, and seated himself again
in his office, with his back to the safe
and the big ledgers before him on the
table.
His brow was wrinkled in thought,
and his keen, gray eyes rapidly flew
over the bewildering mass Of figures
He became absorbed in his work-so
much so, indeed, that he did not hear
the creak of the little door on his left,
nor did there fall upon his ear the soft
breathing of a man at ais side.
A few moments later he was star
tied by feeling something cold pressed

Northwest Territories will now disaI

Northwest Territories will now disap-
pear from the maps.
The fact is that territorial govern
ment for them is no longer suitable,
because their interests are becoming
large and complex. In 1901 their pop
ulation was 15S,940. No census has
been taken since, but the Canadian gov
ernment estimates their population to-
day at about 100000.
Over three-fifths Of the large immi-
grafton that began to pour into Can
ada in 1901 has settled in three of
these territories. The tide Of pioneers
Is pouring over these wheat and cat
tie lands Of Canada.
1t has not yet reached Athabasca,
but farmhouses and hamlets have been
spreading over the three southern ter
ritories, and the country will keep fill
Ing with people for years to come, for
the lands still unoccupied are almost
boundless. AS yet the newcomers
have hardly more than touched the
outskirts of the wheat lands.
Manitoba Is only one-fourth as large
as the old territories Of Assiniboia
Saskatchewan and Alberta, but she
had over 100000 acres in wheat last
year, while the territories gathered @
wheat crop from only 575,697 acres
This acreage in the territories was q
mere bagatelle compared with theil
enormous area of fine farm lands.
The government, after careful inves
tigations, has reached the conclusion
that the amount Of desirable farm
lands still unapproprlated in Assinibois
Is 100000 acres; in Saskatchewan
100000, and in Alberta, 16,0O0,0Ot
acres.
It will take hundreds Of thousand
of farmers to cut up all this land int,
homesteads, but the process Is goini
on, and when these lands are all par
celed out settlers will begin to NOV

pabilities have Just been investigate,

Barre Man Falls in With Thieves in
Burlington.

Burlington, June 10.-A man whose
name is supposed to be Fitzsimmons
returned to his home in Barre yesterday
afternoon sadder and wiser man. With
a companion he had enjoyed several
days blow out in this city and had made
things merry. Yesterday afternoon they
went for walk to Battery Park, and
when Fitzsimmons arrived at the rail-
road station about four o'clock he had
a badly bruised head and his collar was
saturated with blood. He pawned his
watch at the station and proceeded to
DIR. G. A. Pease's Office on College street
where the wounds were dressed.
Upon his return to the station he
was seen by policeman but refused
to give any information as To who was
his assailant. He claimed he was hit
on the back of the head by an unknown
person and was robbed of two dollars,
which was all the money he had on his
person. He declared, however, that he
would get even.
Fitzsimmons, if that is his name, was
seen yesterday afternoon with a large
smooth shaven man who wore light
gray suit. At the station yesterday af-
ternoon be was perfectly sober but
would not talk. He has been a railroad
man of late and has been employed in
Barre as a meat cutter.
