OF the prosperity of those who have
gone from the United States to Can

Il bought, August, 1903, 4S0 acres
of land, paying $4,000 for it. We
threshed 1913 bushels of wheat and
between 1,200 and 1900 bushels of
oats and barley from 200 acres. But
part of the wheat went down before
filling, and was not harvested except
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time $4,000. Besides 12O
acres laying idle, except q timothy

estimate. Counting the value of the
product and the increase of value OF
land will pay me more than rs per

the world by the position he takes on
world affairs. The first day out of
Chicago dad corraled the porter in a
section and talked to him until the
porter was black in the face. I told
dad the only way to get respectful
consideration from a negro was to ad-
Vocate lynching and burning at the
stake, for the slightest things, so when
our porter was unuusally attentive to
young woman on the car dad hauled
him over the Goals, and scared him so
by talking of hanging, and burning in
kerosene oil, that the negro got whittier
than your shirt, and when he got away
from dad he came to me and asked if
that old man with the red nose and
the gold-headed cane was as dangerous
as he talked. / told him he was my
dad, and that he was a walking dele
gate of the Amalgamated Association
of Negro Lynchers, and when a negro
did anything that he ought to be pun
ished for they sent for dad, and he
took charge of the proceedings and
saw that the negro was hanged, and
shot, and burned up plenty But l told
him that dad was crazy on the subject
of giving tips to servants, and he must
not fall dead when we got to Washing
ton if dad gave him $50 dill, and he
must not give back any change, but
just act as though he always got $50
from passengers. Well, you'd a dide

day, and bring a towel every few
minutes to wipe off his shoes, but he
kept one eye, about as big as an onion,

Washington, d. C.-My Dear Old
Skate: 1 didn't tell you in my last
about the fun we had getting here.
We were on the ocean wave two days,
because the whole country was flooded
from the rains, and dad walked the
quarter deck of the Pullman car, and
hitched up his pants, and looked
across the sea on each side of the
train with field glass, looking for
whales and porpoises. He seems to
be impressed with the idea that this
trip abroad is one OF great significance
to the country, and that he is to be
sort of minister plenipotentiary,
whatever that is, and that our coun-
try is going to be judged by the rest of

give any personal letters to his
friends, the kings, but that dad could
tell any of them that he met that he
was an American citizen, and that
would take him anywhere in Europe,
and then he got up and began to show
his teeth at dad again, and dad gave
him the grand hailing sign of distress
of the Grand Army and backed out,
dropped his hat, and in trying to pick
it up. he stepped on it, but that made
it look better, anyway, and we found
ourselves outside the room, and a lot
of common people from the country
were ready to go in and talk politics
and cat shooting.
Well, we looked at pictures, and saw
the state dining room where they feed
so diplomats at time on mud turtle
and champagne, and boy about my
size looked sort of disdainful at me,
and told him if he would come out
side 1 would mash his jaw, and he said
/ could try it right there if l was in
hurry to go, and l was starting to
give him swift punch when a detec-
tive took hold of my arm and said
they couldn't have any scrap there,
cause the presidents SON could not
fight with common boys, and 1 asked
him who he called a common boy, and
then Cad said we better go before war
broke out in country that was illy
prepared for hostilities on a large
scale, and then told detective that
dad was liable to have one of his spells
and begin shooting any minute, an6
then the detectives all thought dad
was one of these president assassina-
tionists, and they took him into
room and searched him, and asked
him whole lot of fool questions. and
they finally let US out, and told us we
better skip the town before night. Dad
got kind of heavy-hearted over that
and took notion he would like to see
ma again before crossing the briny
deep. so you will have the joy of seeing
your little angel again soon. This
weakness of dads made me hot. for I'm
looking for a warm time in. New York
and old Lunnon, but dad was obsti-
nate, so home we go for little visit
before risking our precious lives in an
ocean palace car. So long.
