ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN
CANADA.

"Potatoes the Finest Ever Saw.
Owing to the great amount of inter.
est that is being taken in Western
some Of the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from pOr-
tions of the United States.
The Canadian government have au-
thorized agents at different points, and
the facts related in the following may
be corrobOrated on application. At the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates and give you certificates en-
titling you to low rates on the differ
ent lines of railway. The following
letter, copied from the North Bend
(Neb.) Eagle, is an unsolicited testimO-
NAL, and the experience of Mr.. Austen
is that of hundreds of other Americans
who have made Canada their home
during the past seven or eight years.
II presume some may be interested
to know how we have progressed this
year in the Canadian Northwest. We
have no complaint to offer. We have
had good year; crops We're good and
We have had a delightful season. 1
threshed from my place $3.50 bushels
of grain. My oats made 65 bushels
per acre and weighed 42k pounds per
bushel. My wheat made 311a bushels
per acre and is No. 1 quality. My bar
ley made about 30 bushels of good
quality. My crop is fair average Of
the crops in the Edmonton district.
.'All crops were good here this sea-
son. Potatoes the finest 1 ever saw,
and all vegetables adapted to the eli
mate. We have had very fine fail,
but no exception to the rule, as the
fall season Is, think, the most pleas
ant of the year. We have had no snow
yet (Nov. 81, and have been plowing
and working the land preparing for an
early seeding next spring. Last night
the mercury dropped lower than any
previous night this fall, and this MORN
ing there is a crust of frost on the
fields sufficient to prevent field work.
No doubt many would imagine that AL
berta had put on her winter overcoat
before this. and that the people were
wrapped in furs, but it is only Ques-
tion of time when this country will not
be looked upon as an iceberg, but
country fit for the best of mankind to
live in.
We are now assured of a transconti-
mental railway, which is TO be built to
the Pacific during the next five years.
The Canadian Northern Road is graded
to within seventy-five miles of Edmon-

will reach us next summer. so with
one railroad already at hand, the sec

PRESIDENTS DAILY ROUTINE.

How Mr.. Roosevelt Spends His Time
from Rising Until Retiring.
President Roosevelt rises. regularly
at 7:SO o'clock each morning. He
sometimes takes a stroll in the White
House gardens before breakfast, to
which he sits down at $50. He eats
a hearty meal.
About 9:15 the President walks
briskly across from the White House,
to his office. He receives Secretary
Loeb at 9:3O, and quickly disposes of
the mail at hand and dictates what
ever letters or cablegrams he desires
to send.
At 10 o'clock he begins receiving
visitors, and this continues, except on
cabinet days, unintermittently until
1:15 o'clock. The President is then
shaved in his Office by his private bar
ber.
At 1:30 he returns to the White
House for luncheon, which is served
at 2 o'clock. The President invariably
has several guests at luncheon.
After the midday meal on ordinary
days the President spends half hour
or more with his family on the south
portico of his residence or else goes to
his library to read. When matters of
Importance are on hand, he returns to
the executive offices and spends an
hour there.
About 4:3O he goes riding or driving
or plays tennis. Dinner is served at
7:30. Usually the President entertains
a prominent visitor or official at this
meal and in conversation with him an
hour or more is spent after dinner.
The President goes to bed regularly
about II o'clock, or not later than mid
night Times.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T.
A Lot of Trouble from Too MuC
Sfarchy FOod

A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from q weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and af-
ter the operation the doctor, knowing
that his intestinal digestion was very
weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice a
day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his father states,
"He has grown to be strong. muscu-
lar. and sleeps soundly, weighs 62
pounds, and his whole system is in a
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put
ON Grape-Nuts at an earlier period
in his life, and kept from the use of
foods that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, set
ting up a diseased condition which is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts Of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment Of
all parts of the body. particularly the
brain and nerve centers.

Chauncey Depew,s Setback.

Even in tho days wiien he was ?
struggling young lawyer, Chauncey
Depew was gifted with considerable
deal Of the self-confidence which in la.
ter years came to be known Of many
men. One of the first cases he had in
court involved a somewhat complicated
question of Inheritance. But Chauncey
gayly tackled it and prepared what he
regarded as an unanswerable argu-
ment. He had proceeded for some
time when he noticed that the judge
seemed to lose interest.
Lawyer Depew hesitated and said:
81 beg pardon, but hope your honor
follows me-"
The Judge shifted in his chair az he
replied: 81 have so far, but I'll say
frankly that if thought could find
my way I'd quit right here"

Gettvsburp Battlefield.

The battle of Gettysburg is still a
very live subject in the minds of the
masses of the American people, as is
shown by the constant stream of Wis
itors to the historic spot. They go in
separate parties daily, while organ
lied excursions. often numbering hun
dreds and even thousands are of raore
luan- weekly occurrence.
1t is an education in American his
tory and still more in American pa
triotism to join one of these. The bat
tlefleld stands now as it stood in 1868
in all its essential features; what was
woodland then is woodland now, and
what was farmed then is farmed now;
the government has constructed some
admirable roads and a number of OBJ
servation towers, and various regi-
ments and associations have erected
splendid monuments, which add i'm
mensely to the beauty of the scene;
but in all historic respects the field
is unchanged.
The visitor can stand now where
Gen. Meade sat on his horse in the aft
ernoon Of the third day of the fight
and watched Pickett's division of the
Confederate army cut the Union army
in two at the center. He can see the
woods in which Pickett's men formed
and the mile-wide field over which
they marched, with splendid bravery.
through an inferno of shot and shell
and rifle balls, he can see the low
stone wall. scarcely more than foot
high, where the few survivors threw
down their arms after short hand-to-
hand fight, and If his Imagination is
worth anything, he can reconstruct
for himself the whole dramatic scene
from the data before his eyes.
And the monuments, There are
more monuments, most of them elabo-
rate works of art, on the Gettysburg
field than OH any other in the world.
more than on all the other battle
fields of the world put together, it is
said. There. are more than five hun
dred of them, without counting the
markers" the inscriptions and the
long lines of cannon on the sites of
the contendins batteries. The archi-
tectural adOrnments of the field are
said to have cost Il total of S1,OOO.OOO.

Negresses and the Soldieas.

i. Kennedy Hood, of Delphi, N. Y,
who served in the One Hundred and
Twenty-first and One Hundred and
Twenty-siXth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
says: During our campaign in North
Carolina one day Il number of colOred
women walked fourteen miles to where
we We're going into camp. One of the
negresses We found had feather bed
and twelve wine glasses which she de-
sired TO carry along. Our captain eX-
postulated with her, but she was de-
termined to take them along, so he
gave in. When we began to march
she slowed the glassas away inside the
feather bed, and, placing them all on
her head, fell in line and managed
to keep pace with the best. When we
reached our destination and went into
camp the negress deposited her bun
die on the ground and began taking
out the glasses one by one. When
it came to the twelfth glass it was
found to have been broken. One of
the soldiers said. sympathetically:
'Auntie, | am sorry you broke your
glass; Never mind, honey she re-
piled; folkses can't spec TO move
wifout breakin' somethin'.' And she
shook with merriment at her own joke
Another thing happened one day at
4 little place near Petersburg. One OF
our soldiers had caught some fish, and
they were still alive. When we went
into camp some negresses came in, and
one OF them caught sight of the fish.
As she drew near the basket where
they were they began 10 flop around.

to remember the fighting in our own
civil war. and fewer still have made
any study of the statistics of our own
losses in battle. Modern weapons, es-
pecially the small arms with their
small bullets, are much more merciful
than those used in our great war,
when the bullets We're one inch long
and fifty-three one-hundredths inches
in diameter, causing fearful wounds.
The papers report that very large
proportion of the men wounded on
both sides of the present war have al
ready recovered and returned to the
ranks. The newspaper accounts of
the great slaughter in these battles
are usually exaggerated and the fig
ures greatly reduced by the official re-
ports.
Perhaps your readers would be in
terested in some statistics of the civil
war, comparing them with reports of
battles in the East. The following fig
ures are taken from q book compiled
by William T. Fox. entitled "Regi-
mental Losses in the Civil War" This
book is accepted as authoritative, and
by far the most reliable publication in
the statistics presented. The figures
are not estimated losses, nor taken
spondents in the field. They are COM
piled from the muster rolls and official
reports on file in the War Depart
ment.
The following table gives the per-
centage of loss In several regiments
in one battle to the number of men
engaged in that battle. ranging from
GO per cent to 50 per cent of the men
who entered any one battle. In the
table from which copy these figures
there are q large number of other
regiments in which the losses exceed
ed half the number engaged, but this
list is long enough to show what stuff
our American soldiers were made of.
The list includes killed, wounded and
missing. A small portion of those re-
ported missing were taken prisoners,
but the greater part were reported
missing in battles where no prisoners
We're taken, and We're so reported. be-
cause at the time the report was made
it was not known absolutely whether
they were dead or severely wounded
