opposition to the consolidation of Ari-

How Twain Got Rich.

Mark Twain says that in his earlier

al prosperity which came later in his
career. 1t is commonly the lot of gen.
Jus to suffer neglect at first, and ex-
p~erience did not affect his abiding
good nature. In a conversation with
Dean Howells on one occasion the sub
iect of literature vicissitudes was
preached by the humorist.
my difficulties taught me some
thrift" he observed. But l never
knew whether it was wiser to spend
my last nickel for a cigar to smoke
or for an apple to devour."
81 am astounded," observed Mr..
Howells, that a person of so little
decision should meet with so much
worldly success"
Mark Twain nodded very gravely.
"Indecision about spending money"
he said, "is worthy of cultivation.
When l couldn't decide what to buy
with my last nickel, 1 kept it, and SO
became rich."-Success.

He would have been called a dream

thirty-fve years ago, when the North
west country became a possession of
Canada, prophesied the present pros.
perity in the lapse of so short a period

ways have been financed through on
the ample assurance there is business
In the west to warrant their construc-
ton, and resources to liquidate the
consequent Indebtedness.
Manitoba in the eastern portion of
the country was created a province a
year after the purchase from the Hud-
o Bay Company in 1870. In 1882,
the western country was tapped by
the extended main line of the C. P. r.
That year also territorial government
was established, the remaining out
lying country being converted into
four territories-Alberta Assiniboia.

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, it is charged, $475
worth Of property not his own. Hen
derson vas a trusty and worked as a
cook, so his escape was easy. Before
going he attached himself to two dia-
mond rings, two watches, n engraved
with the word "Luree," and the other
engraved "J. w. Swallow" One of
the rings was valued at $3.50. He also
took s28 in cash. Henderson is five

CHANGED
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Wife Made Wise Change in Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
Il thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, hrs digestion improved; he SUI
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. -, of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, l persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She vas in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so COM
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that l ever
knew. She eats it with cream or dry,
just as it comes from the package
keeps it in her room and eats it when
eve she feels like it.
81 began eating Grape-Nuts food,
myself, when my baby was two
months old, and l don't know what I
should have done without it. My ap-
petite was gone, l was weak and nerv-
Gus and afforded but very little nour-
ishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts
food, of which l @ grew very fond,
speedily set all this right again, and
the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as a mother could wish. He
is two years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. l wish every tired
young mother knew of the good that
GraPe-Nuts would do her"

comes fully settled up.
Dairying is the third leading bust
ness of the Northwest farmer, and
may, like the others be developed
while the farmer is sleeping. 1t is
found that on account of the cost Of
farm help, and to avert the expense of
erecting suitable buildings for the
purpose, the cooperative system is
decidedly the best. Under it the en-
tire management is IN the hands of
the government under expert opera
tives, though control of sales, etc.,
rests with the patrons. The farmers
simply deliver their milk or cream,
usually the latter, at the diaries, re-
ceive monthly advances, and bal
ances of proceeds of sales at the close
of the year.
The schools are free and non-denomi
national-national. There is no tax for
attendance, the government defrays
the greater part of the cost of sup
port of a highly certificated staff Of
teachers. There are schools in all
country districts where there are a
dozen pupils to attend them and the
tax is rarely more than 81 a year on
every quarter section. AS each prov

Fuel is the bugbear of many Of the
prairie countries. In Western Canada,
however, there are but few districts

Both Were Satisfied.

N. j.. Neer, a prominent railroad
man, had to spend an hour recently
in a station waiting for a train. Op-
posite him sat a stranger whom he
had never seen before. Each had a
peculiar fascination for the other and
each was careful to avoid being de-
tected in the scrutinizing exchange.

They observed that both scrutinizers
worked industriously with pencil and
paper. Then the principals of the

something unusual was taking place
and each grinned. MI. Neer stepped

OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Mlseries Of Indigestion.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
MIseries OF Indigestion.
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 ONE from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor" he
says. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains III my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which I learned from
friends in France, l have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a 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 i'll living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native Of
Aix-les-B ains, France, but now resides
at Nc. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of n great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
Of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a ~dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery one begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DR.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the u Of constipation.
