Proper Eyeglasses.

Everyone who knows that in using

1t to proper -ocus. Suppose that you
put one Of the tubes at your focus and
the other tube at focus that suit

through both tubes. You should have
q moro or less blurred vision, and II
you kept on looking the chances are
that you would feel giddy and get a

Mrs. Sheldon stood at the window

ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting
of Old Friend.

The late Edward Atkinson used to
tell the following story at his own ex-
pense: In his boyhood he was one Of
number OF boys who used to play
ball on the Boston common, which
was then against the law. At regular
intervals old Erastus Clapp, the con-
stable, would bear down upon the tres
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
rather choleric old man-Disastrous
Clapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into prosperous and re.
spected business man, while passing
along Boston street in company with
friend, he recognized in bent and
wizened old man the likeness of his
old acquaintance. Constable Clapp.
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow.
Don't you remember me, Mr.
Clapp?" he asked.
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr.. Atkinson coldly

ed to hobble on.
why, I'm Eddie Atkinson. whom
you used to chase off the common
years ago.
Clapp, gared at him suspiciously
and finally put an end to the inter
view, much to the amusement of Mr.
Atkinson's friend. by saying sharply
well. sir, no honest boy ever hat
cause to run from me-"

FILLING UP the cANADIANW Esr.
The American Settler 10 Weieomes
70 Canada.

A number OF the leading newspa.
pers on this side Of the line have been
noticing the growth Of the Canadian
West in recent years. and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement OF the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were 4,174 homesteads entries
there in July Of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest Is the statement
that Of these 4,174 homesteaders,
1,212 were from this side OF the line.
Little Is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West, or OF the 808
from Great Britain, or Of the 1925
from non.British countries. 1t ap
pears that the item In this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this of the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
1.-THE compliment Is deserved. The
1912 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express well says. the
American Is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to In
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail In the Cana
dian prairie provinces. and is aware
Of every phase Of agricultural deyel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge Of what Is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what, Is required to,
bring success, and he Is able and will
ing to do 1t, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent OF the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere. says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore.
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer Of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller Of the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads OF the Canadian West,
and there are hundreds It thousands
of them left, that is extended to the
| settler from the Western States.

Sympathy Not Needed.

DR.. Fridtjof hansen, Norway's f.
nous arctic explorer. now minister
to Gerat Britain, makes light Of the
sympathy expressed by many persons
anent the "hardships" of travellers. He
says: There never was such mis-
placed sympathy as commissioning =
man who has lived in the wilds. Most
men who travel in out-ofthe-way parts
of the world do SO because they like
1t. People who live in the center OF
what is called civilization do not I'M
derstand, cannot realize, the spell that
getting close to nature. battling with
nature, has on the heart" He does
not believe in the use of alcoholic bev-
erages, holding that while liquor will
raise the temperature for few min
utes, after that 1t falls lower than
before.
