Couldn't Be Cast Aside.
An intimate friend Of old DR.. Moggs.
icy called on him one morning, and
found. to his surprise, that the doctor
was: packing his household goods for
removal. What does this mean?" he
asked. 1T means said the doctor,
that after practicing medicine in this
village of Summerville for forty years,
I have grown tired of it, and I'm go.
ing to move away.
81 can't retire and stay here at the
same time. My old patients won't let
me-. I've tried to turn my practice
over to one of the other doctors, but
it didn't work. l don't need to follow
the business any longer, and l want to
spend the rest of my days in comfort.
I am going to sell or rent my place
here and go and live in some town
where L shall not be at e%yerybody's
beck and call, and where I can enjoy
a peaceful old age"
Three or four months later the same
friend, in passing the house, was
astonished to see DR.. Moggsley stand.

professional sign in its old place.
"Why, hello, doctor!!" he said, greet
ing him cordially. What does this
mean?"
WELL" explained the doctor, rather
sheepishly, cit means that 1 was an
old fool to think that after living here
all my life I could end my days any
Where else. I have put in three of the
most miserable months 1 ever spent
anywhere, and I've come back to stay.
Let the patients come if they want to.
So long as l am able to look after

for another forty ears."-Youth's

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman frie1fds, and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross Of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, Tor whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.

lily had saved enough money to com.

tons of roots and herbs are used annu,

Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. Sho passed to her reward years
ago, but not until she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done il
herself.
During her long and eventful expe
rience she was ever methodical, in hel
work and she was always careful tC

including symptoms, treatment and re
suits, were recorded for future refer

since, are available ito sickswomen the
world over, and represent a vast col
laboration of information regarding
the treatment of women's Ills, which
for authenticity and accuracy CAT
hardly be equaled in any library in thu
world. s9S Il
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked hel
daughter-in-law, the present Mr.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, ana
for years she assisted her in her vas

A New Lenai Definition.

Magistrate Robert Cornell of New
York has acquired a new and valuable
legal definition. An aged but robust
negro witness who testified before him
the other day wouldn't stop talking
when counsel objected, but kept on
roaring his testimony.
"Stop!" the magistrate commanded.
Don't YOU know you're in court?"
"Y-a-as'r," replied the negro.
Well, don't you know what a court
is?"
"Oh-h-h, ya-as'r," said the old fell

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the Con-
tinent.

The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the Con-
tinent.
The year that has just closed has
done a great deal towards showing
the possibilities of Western Canada
from an agricultural standpoint. The
wheat crop has run very near to the
100, 900, 900 bushel limit that was look
ed upon as too sanguine an estimate
only a short time ago, and the area
that has been broken to fall wheat
for the coming harvest will go a long
way toward enabling the farmers OF
the West to overlap on the 100, 00O,0 900
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat have
been doing sc well during the past few
years, the other cereals have been
keeping up with the procession. Rye
and barley have made immense
moving steadily along. Dairying,
also, has been successfully carried on
in the new provinces, and in every
stage the farmer has been Striking
it rich" To such an extent has the
success of the West taken hold Of the
outsiders that the rush of our Ameri-
cans to Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which was looked upon as marvellous
last year, bids fair to be largely ex-
ceeded in 1906, and as there are still
| millions of acres of free homesteads
available, which the building of the
new railways will render accessible
to the markets, new wheat lands will
be opened ere long. Amongst the
first to avail himself of the opportun-
ity presented will be the American
settler. In a large number of Amcri-
can cities Dominion Government
Agents are located, who are able and
willing to give the latest and best in
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open
| up, and there will be no abatement Of
the rush to the Canadian prairies dur
ing the coming eeason. Some time
since a poet In the columns of the
Toronto Star" had the following
| stirring lines, which throb of the
| Western spirit:
| There's a stir in the air, there's a
thrill through the land,
There's a movement. toward the
great West;
And the eyes Of all men for the mo-
' ment are turned
To the country that we love the
best.
For tits Canada's day in the worlds
calendar,
And to this merry toast let us sup:
Here's to the land, the young giant
of the North,
Where the prairies are opening up"
They come~from the East and they
come from the South,
They come DER the deep rolling
They cone, for they know they will
dwell meath a flag
That makes all men equal and free.
Then, once more the toast, and let
every mar rise
And cheer Ger he sips from the cup:
Here's to the land, the young giant of
the North,
Where the prairies are opening up!'

Bull fighting in Spain Is not suffer
.hg from lack Of patronage. for during
the last year some 10000 bulls we're
killed in fights. From three to six buI s
are killed at performances. and al
least $500 fights may be reckoned.
Bulls for fighting purposes are costly
They are raised on special ranches and
are intended for fighting and no other
use. One Of the largest Is that Of the
duke of Veragua. in Andalusia. and his
ranch has made a tremendous fortune
for him.
The bulls are smaller and more pug
naclous than the common cattle. and
properly handled will put up. a game
fight. That they will not give up with
out struggle is proven by the fact
that some 10000 horses were killed by
the bulls in the different fights. I'm
like the bulls. the horses are Of the
cheapest sort. and some are so infirm
that they can scarcely totter about the
ring until disemboweling brings them
