silently to their assigned position, and
awaited developments.
And, when the morrow came, Benton
was early in saddle and away to the

| chafed in spirit over his wrongs. He

nothing more than half-hearted ac-
acknowledgement of error could be looked

moment things settled down and the

something besides the momentous af-
fairs of the nation. he would demand

and Doubleday had spoken in heartiest
praise of his behavior throughout that
heroic battle of the first day. So far
SO good. What he longed for, on one
hand, was a chance to square accounts
with McKinnon. What he hoped for,
on another, was opportunity to teach
that disdainful girl how deeply she
had wronged, as well as affronted,
him.
He would have known better had he
had time to analyZe the chagrin and
pain and jealousy which possessed him
all the long hours that followed his
morning talk with some staff COM
rades of the Second corps. 1t seems
that three days before, on the 29th of
June, while they of the Second were
pushing cautiously northward through
Maryland, they were made aware that
column of cavalry was passing
around them from the south, and that
while they were swinging through
Uniontown the cavalry were trotting
through Westminster, only five miles
from their flank. "Gregg's division, of
course" said they who saw through
glasses the far-distant column.
Gregg, not much!" said Haskell, who
had ridden out toward Union Mills on
a scout of his own. Its Jeb Stuart

self every mile of his way from the

to be the case; for, as they lay in the
fields about Uniontown that night,
there reached them a rueful, crest
fallen little party of officers, gathered
in by Stuart at the crossing of the Bal
timore pike. Two were field officers
who from convalescent hospital were
striving to overtake their regiments;
the third was Mai. McKinnon, ordered
to report without delay to the COM
handing general, Army of the Poto-
mac; and McKinnOn it seems had also
been convalescing in Baltimore, but
not from wounds. These three, with
their light luggage, had been pounced

three captured officers. Stuart invited
his captives to be seated while an
aide took their names, regiments, etc.,
and as McKinnon gave his there was
sudden sensation. The young cavalry
man sprang forward, seized McKin-
mons hand, shook it effusively, and,
to the amaze of every one present, ex-
claimed: Gen. Stuart. l am sure. sir.

Sure of it, sir?-I had it from father

that they were indebted-or rather that
their helper was very different per-

but that all turned out to be an error %
And the upshot of it all was, said
Haskell, that Stuart sent the three to

been able to persuade that usually
clear-sighted girl to the belief that he
had used such powerful influence in
their behalf
But there was still another thing to
add to his chagrin and perplexity.

THE CALL OF THE
CANADIAN WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the
Continent.

The year that has just closed has
done great deal towards showing the
possibilities Of Western Canada from
an agricultural standpoint. The wheat
crop has run very near to the 100, 000, 900
bushel limit that was looked upon as
too sanguine an estimate only q short
time ago, and the area that has been
broken to fall wheat for the coming
harvest will go long way towards
enabling the farmers Of the West to
overlap on the 100000, 900 bushel esti-
mate next year. And while the spring
and winter wheat have been doing so
well during the past few years, the other
cereals have been keeping upswith the
procession. Rye and barley have made
immense strides, and peas and fax have
been 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 outsiders that
the rush of Americans to Saskatchewan
and Alberta, which was looked upon as
marvellous last year, bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions of acres Of free home
steads available, which the building OF
the new railways will render accessible
to the markets, new wheat lands will
be opened up ere long. Amongst the
first to avail himself of the opportunity
presented will be the American settler.

the best;
For tits Canada's day in the worlds CAL

They come, for they know they will dwell

JUDGMENT.

Go back to the beginning:
Find the cause.
Trace the weakness to its source,
Then dare to pause
Before you give your judgment
AS to sin,
And drive a fellow mortal
Farther in.
For they who fall not always
Have the chance
To live their lives unframed
By circumstance.
They sometimes do their best,
And, If they fail,
Be thou the one to succor;
Never rail.
Blame ever shuts away the
Light of day:
Then cheer and bless and comfort
AS you may.
Lend them thy strength If of the
Strong thou art.
Give of thy love and tenderness
A part.
And never dare to say the
Words that kill,
Else thou may sometime feed
The selfsame mill.

Is willing to take 1t back after the

lot. however, could hardly be consider
ed a home. In selecting his home"
after he had been nominated, Colonel
Harris showed that he was trying
TO fool the people.
The attempt to fool the people is
not the only interesting feature OF
this purchase Of home. While
Colonel Harris was negotiating with
the real estate dealer for the use OF
the lot for few months. the officers
of the Democratic state central com
mittee decided to file their nomina'
zion papers with the secretary of state.
The papers were filed the day before
the lot transfer was made and the af-

gave the legal residence of Colonel
Harris as Linwood. Linwood Is in

time the home Of the Democratic

A the matter now stands, Colonel

that he lives In LinwOod and he has

he owns and intends occupying

White hns been for three month";
past trying to get in discussion OF
Indian affairs with Governor Hoch
He is again making the mistake OF
following the lead Of the Democratic
, organ at the mouth Of the Kaw and
has again waded into the pond of argu'
ment beyond his depth. While no

NOT handle facts with the skill he does
fiction.
The following is the statement mado
by White when he got beyond his
depth:
The following facts are undisputed;
That the land in controversy is worth
30 million dollars, and that II the state
of Kansas loses this suit which Gov.
Hoch has brought the government will
have to dig up 50 millin dollars
and pay II to q Rockefeller railroad,
and that the Kansas Federal taxpay-
have to dig up 80 million dollars
maid to the railroad will be about l
million dollars.
In the first speech he delivered In
the campaign at Circleville Senator
Long said that the amount
for which the railroad was suing was
only $1O,OOO,OOO and that railroad at
torneys had habit of asking Tor
enough. He also said that only
small proportion of the cost OF the
suit. should the railroad win 1t, would
fall on the people of Kansas.
Senator Long made 1t very clear that
two things would have to happen be-
fore the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
would get possession Of this land, or
win this suit:
First-The Indian title must be ex-
tinguished.
second-The land must become
part OF the public lands
The Indian title is not extinguished
by the land being allotted in several
tv. AS to the second Of these PROPOSE
tions, what is known as the five tribes
act passed at the last session OF con-
gress provides by section 81, which
Senator Long himself secured as an
amendment, that the lands, even upon
dissolution Of tribal government
"shall not become public lands but
shall be held in trust by the United
