Actor Would Not Die.

Dutton Cook, in his Book Of the
Play" tells an American stage anec-
dote of an English melodramatic act
or with the pseudonym of Bill Ship
ton, who, enacting a British officer in
the early Life Of Washington" got
so stupidity intoxicated that when
Miss Cuff, who played the youthful
hero, had to fight and kill him in a
duel, Bill Shipton wouldn't die; he
even said loudly on the stage that he
wouldn't.
Mary Cuff fought on until she was
ready to faint and after she had re-
peated his cue for dying, which was,
"Cowardly, hired assassin" for the
fourteenth time, he absolutely jumped
off the stage, not even pretending to
be on the point Of death. Our indig-
nant citizens then chased him all
over the house and he only escaped
by jumping into the coffin which they
bring on in Hamlet" Romeo" and
Richard"

PENITENTIARY CONVICT
MAKES HIS ESCAPE

LINCOLN.-William Henderson, COL
ored, sentenced to the penitentiary for
two years from Cherry county, made
his escape from that institution and
took with him, 1t is charged, s47b
worth of property not his own. Hen
derson was trusty and worked as a
cook, so his escape was easy. Before
going he attached himself to two dia-
mond rings, two watches, one engraved
with the word "Luree," and the other
engraved ~. w. Swallow" One of
the rings was valued at $780, He also
took $28 in cash. Henderson is five
feet, seven inches in height, weighs
1872 pounds and is 33 years old. He
wore away one Of Deputy Fairfeld's
straw hats and black trousers. A re-
ward of $50 has been offered for his
capture.

woman to hold fast to the home in

improved land near Fresno, deter

Her success is indicated by the fact
that Minnewawa Is valued at over five
times the original investment. During
the busiest season there are over 400
people at work on the ranch and in the

personal oversight of the packing her
grapes brought from 800 to $500 more

dences of advancement. The first
bushel of wheat was shipped in 1882,
In fact the first shipment from Mani
toba, merely as a sample, was made
In 1877. In 1904 there were under all
crops, excepting hay, 1,575,000 acres
In the western provinces, producing
17,250,350 bushels of wheat, 1920 $40
bushels of oats, and 1850 APO bushels
of barley, realizing a total Of about
S18,500 900 for the farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown in
1904 41,600,000 bushels of wheat and
other farm products in proportion.
The first mile of railway was built in
the country in 1880, and to-day there
are over 5000 miles of road in opera
ton, and further extensions are going
ahead as fast as men and money can
build them. There are two trunk
lines in the country, the G. P. R. and
the Canadian Northern, with the
Grand Trunk commencing it's trans
continental line. In addition to these
trunk lines, all systems are extending
branches to all sections where there
are settlements to patronize them.
The grain elevator development is
another assurance Of the wonderful
expansion of the country, the one
fourth of the whole area, or about 95,-
100000 acres of the country traversed
by railways being now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all there are LOIS
of them in the country with a combin-
ed capacity Of 27,6S3,000 bushels and
erected at cost of over 55,000000.
In addition to these, elevators at the
head of the lakes have storage capac-
fly Of 100000. Fourteen years ago
the entire storage capacity of the
elevators was 7,62S,00O bushels, to-day
It is 41,600,000 and increasing yearly
from five to ten million bushels.
What the settlement of the country
will be in the next ten years may
well be imagined from the fact that
last year the immigration was over
$4,000 souls.
There are those who believe the
grain-producing area of the country
must be limited. but results tell a

different story. In the northern Peace
River country, 900 miles north of the
International boundary, wheat is
grown every year 62 to 65 lbs. to the
bushel, from 20 to 80 bushels to the
acre, and natures in 107 days from
sowing. The length of day and there

there are already thrifty settlements,

The adoption of business principles
in the home is not only one of the
ways to obtain happiness, it is the only
way, says Good Housekeeping. We are
speaking now of the average house

to demand money from the husband.

Even in some of the older parts there

Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de.
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid Of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. IT was suffering from dyspepsia.

were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. about

friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but IL IL had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills 1t
might have been q tragic one, When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson Is q native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,

SOME CURES FOR INSOMNIA.
The Victim Of Disapreeable Trouble
Must Study Himself.

Must Study Himself.
Lying awake is often a habit. II is
worth almost any effort to break up
such habit. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
insomnia is usually the result of one
of three things--poor circulation, in
digestion or mental distress. The
person who studies himself carefully
will be able to locate the difficulty and
treat himself accordingly.
For poor circulation try warm baths,
warm-water bottles, brisk rubbing,
soaking the feeting and deep breath
ing.
For indigestion take a warm drink
before retiring or when sleepless.
Drink warm water, warm milk, weak
tea or cocoa and breathe deeply.
For mental distress mere will power
is the best. Close the eyes and as fast
as the thoughts come drive them out,
Carry on in the mind housekeeping
process.
Sweet sleep and plenty of 1t will
go great way toward keeping women
young. When sleep departs wrinkles
come.
1t is by sleep that we gain strength
for another day. Sleep is to the brain
and nerves what food is to the body.
Here are few simple, tried rules
for driving away insomnia
Go to bed warm. Never go to bed
with cold feet.
If the events of the day have been
trying. read short, light story be-
fore retiring.
Leave the window down at the top
and protect the bed from drafts.
AS soon as the body touches the bed
relax the muscles, shut the eyes and
make ready to sleep. Nothing drives
away sleep more quickly than the
thought that one can't sleep.
