but even after this he is not sanguine
of any successful results, as the ordi-

the latter, he says, the men will get

weeks, which method is not acceptable
to the average laborer, especially the
colored men.
Mr.. Hunt stated that this is the

he says, there are more men looking

SHOW GRATITUDE OF NATION.
Two Fine Monuments to Men Whs
Helped Cause Of Liberty.

The love of the people of the United
States for Marquis Lafayette, the
Frenchman, who in time of our great
est need gave his purse and person to
the service of this country, has con-
tinued throughout all the years that
have passed since those dark days.
When, 80 years after he had rendered
such valuable and distinguished help
to this country, Lafayette decided to
that Whenever the president shall be
informed of the time when the mar
quis may be ready to embark, nation
al ship with suitable accommodations,
be employed to bring him to the Unit
ed States" But LaFayette's modesty
forbade this and he took passage in a
private vessel. When it became
known that he was to revisit Amer.
lea, every citizen prepared to give him
a hearty welcome, and before his ar
rival people were wearing Lafayette
ribbons, Lafayette waistcoats, LaFay.

square, the most beautiful of all the
many charming parks in which the
city of Washington abounds.
Another statue in Lafayette park
is that of Count Rochambeau, who
commanded 5000 French soldiers sent
to aid the Americans in 1889. The
statue was presented to the United
States by France.

WEATHER PROPHETS AT WORK.
Predictions Reach Washington From
All Over the Country.

The officials of Uncle Sans weather
bureau receive many copies of dire
Jul predictions made by long-range
weather forecasters, as they are
termed The long-rangers have re-
Gently been bobbing up in all sections
Of the country. There are four of
them known to be in Pennsylvania,
Two in Ohio, several in New York,
| New England, and quite number in
the Dominion of Canada. 1t is the
opinion of some of the weather Of
icials that most of the long-range pre-
| lictions are based upon the old-time
signs, omens and superstitions that
| folks used before the introduction OF
the science of meteorology to foretell
the coming of storms, rain, sunshine
and snow.
| The flying of crows, wild ducks and
other birds toward the south told of
the coming of a storm; pigs carrying
straws to their stys meant the ap-
proach of cold wave. There are
other long time-ahead weather proph-
cts who predicate their forecasts of
disaster on the recent earthquakes.
hurricanes and the like, and take it
for granted that other similar dis
asters will follow in the continuation
of the freak weather in evidence
throughout the year 1906.
One of the latest and most terrify-
ing of the longrange forecasts that
were made the other day pretends to
foretell that the winter will be the
most severe on record. cat best,
said Prof. Edward B. Garriott, of Prof.
Willis L. Moore's official staff of fore
casters, "the so-called long-range
forecasts are the merest guesswork.
If the men who make them could real
ly foretell weather conditions correct
ly as far ahead as they profess they
can, their names, flames and fortunes
would be assured in a mighty short
space of time.

Worth Knowing About.

If you need first-class laxative.
there is nothing better nor safer than
that old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills. Each pill contains one grain
of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which,
with other valuable vegetable prod.
ucts, make 1t blood purifier of ex.
cellent character. If you are troubled
with constipation, one pill at night
will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century. and are for sale every.
where, either plain or sugar-coated.

CURIOUS PEASANT SUPERSTITION
Horses Ridden by the spirits-Winds
That Watt Thanks of the Dead.

Horses Ridden by the Spirts-Winds
That Watt Thanks of the Dead.
1t was formerly almost universally
believed that on All Saints day the
dead were permitted to leave their
tombs and to roam abroad, says tho
London Tribune. In some parts OF
Britanny, and in other places, the
peasants even now are careful to lock
up their horses in the stables lest the
dead, rising from their graves in the
early morning, should seize them and
ride furiously to some distant spot
they may have frequented in life.
In the Northern departments people
refrain from slamming doors sharply
on this day lest they should hurt an
Invisible spirit entering, and the chill
dren are forbidden to throw stones
into the hedges or trees for fear that
the missiles should wound the soul OF
some departed relation or friend hoy
ering about in them.
In Alsace little lamps, lanterns and
glimmering tapers arranged in tho
form of a cross are seen burning all
night long close to the ground in many
cemetery. They are destined to re-
joice the souls as they rise from their
graves.
Perhaps the most common Of all
superstitions concerning the dead is
that about noon on All Saints day
there comes a gentle gust of wind.
The peasants in the fields raise their
heads in the hope and expectation of
feeling it, for it is the dead waiting
their thanks to the living for their
prayers and remembrance of them.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread.
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes.

OF us do, the organs that should di.

Too much fat also is hard to digest.
and this is changed into acids, sour

IN these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will

the distress but in building up a

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST
The American Settler 10 Welcomed
to 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 ALA homesteads entries
there In July of this year, as against
3571 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 Alta homesteaders,
1912 were from this side of the line.
Little Is said about the 81 Canadians
homes in Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain, or OF the 1926
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
"The compliment is deserved. The
1912 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and 90 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
y. 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 devel-
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

tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the

homesteads OF tho Canadian West
and there are hundreds of thousands
OF them left. that is extended to the
settler from the Western States.
