and on the second turn the girls ahead,
and she takes the pole, and on the third
turn the man is ahead, and they begin
to whip the horses, who seem crazy, and
on the last stretch the man holds his
team back little, and the girl passes
him and comes out trifle ahead, and
the crowd goes wild.
Well the master of ceremonies
coached pa about the business, and told
him what to do. They knew he could
drive four horses, because he said he
was an old stage driver, and when he
got in the chariot with the Roman suit
on cleaning with gold, and the brass
helmet, and the cloth of gold gaunt-
lets, and stood up like a senator, gee,
was proud OF him. and when he and the
female drove out of the dressing-room
and halted by the door for the announcer
to announce the great Ben Hur chariot
race, got into the chariot behind pa,
and told him he must win the race, or
the people of Scranton would mob him.
For they knew these races were usually
fixed beforehand, but since he was to
drive one of the teams, all his friends
were betting on him. and ifhe pulled the
team and let that livery stable lady win
the race, they would accuse him of CIV
ing them free tickets to get them in the
show and skin them out of their money.

would see that he had got up in the
world since he left the old town. So the
manager gave pa about 400 free tickets

citizen in the show. He was offered a
chance to take the place of the clown.

chariot with four horses abreast, in
place of the Irish Roman who was &C
customed to drive the chariot in the
race with the female charioteer, mus
cular girl who used to clerk in a livery
stable at Chicago.
The chariot race is fake, because it.
Is arranged for the girl to win, so the
audience will go wild and cheer her,
so she has to come bowling all around
the ring. The way the job is put up is
for the two chariots to start, and go
around twice. On the first turn the man

She yelled for help, and the circus
hands rolled the drum, with her in it.,
into the dfessing-room, where they had
to cut the sides of the drum with an ak,
to get her out, while others caught her
horses, and pulled the chariot out of the
band, and the music stopped; but pa
went on forever.
He went around six times, yelling like
an Indian at green corn dance, and
when he thought it was time to let up,
because he had missed the other char
lot, he pulled so hard he broke the lines
on the two inside horses, and then it was
a runaway for sure, and the audience
stood up on the seats and yelled, and

Finally the circus hands grabbed some
hurdles, and threw them across the
track, near the main entrance, and when
we came around the last time, two of
the horses jumped the hurdles all right,
but two fumbled and fell down, and there

DID A WORLD OF GOOD
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cure Heart
Pains, Dizzy Spells and
Weakness

Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is
what most sufferers think Of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stomach
begins to trouble them seriously.
They had been eating hurriedly and
irregularly for long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs, and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf-
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in DR., Williams Pink Pills. In hun
dreds of instances these pills have sue

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 100000, 900
bushel limit that was looked upon as
too sanguine an estimate only 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 100,0O0,000 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 up with the
procession. Rye and barley have made
immense strides, and peas and fax have
been moving steadily olong. 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.
In a large number of American cities
Dominion Government Agents are To-
Gated. who are able and willing to give
the latest and best information in re-
gard to the new districts which the rail-
ways will open up, and there will be no
abatement of the rush to the Canadian
prairies during the coming season.
Some time since poet in the columns
of the Toronto "Star" had the follow
ing stirring lines, which throb of the
Western spirit:
There's 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 moment are
turned to the country that we love
the best;
For tits Canadas day in the worlds cal
endar, and to this merry toast let US
sup:
Here's to the land, the young giant of the
North, where the prairies are open
ing up!''
They come from the East and they come
from the South-they come Ger the
deep rolling sea-
They come, for they know they will dwell
meath flag that makes all men equal
and free.
4 zen, once more the toast and let every
man rise, and cheer ere he sips from
the cup:
'IIere's to the land, the young giant Of the
North, where the prairies are open
ing up!'

have been but few cases Of its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-

decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups Of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records Of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.

his case is incurable. The fact that

Important Movement in Advertising.

The creation of a General Advertising
Department for the New York Central
Lines, and the placing in charge of that
department the veteran railroad adver-
tiser, George III. Daniels, who has been
for nearly twenty years the General Pas
senger Agent of the New York Central
Railroad, marks an era in the history of
advertising in America.
The New York Central Lines are the
first great system to create an advertis
ing department which covers all the rail
ways in their system, and the far-reaching
consequences of such movement cannot
be appreciated at first sight, but this &C
ton on the part of the management of
these lines emphasizes the value of adver
Using generally, and forces the conclu-
sion of strong belief in the efficacy of
railroad advertising in particular.
Some idea of the Importance of this
new department can be had when it is
understood that it will control the gen.
eral advertising in America and in foreign
ton and Albany, Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, Michigan Central, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, Rut-
land, and Lake Erie and Western railways
and their leased lines, having their west
ern terminals at Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati, and their eastern terminals at
New York, Boston and Montreal, and en-
of the best equipped railways in the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for many years been a
firm believer in newspaper and magazine
advertising, and, therefore, the organiza
ton of the General Advertising Depart
ment of the New York Central Lines is
of importance to every legitimate publica-
ton in America, daily, weekly or monthly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association few years ago,
Mr. Daniels made the point that the rail-
and that railway advertising had been OF
turers in calling the attention of the
whole world to the excellent work done
by our inventors and mechanics, as illus
trated in the Empire State. Express, the
Twentieth Century Limited, and other
great trains that connect the east with the
west; the average foreigner arguing that
machines must be able to build anything,
and that the farm machinery, and all kinds
of industrial machinery made in Amer
lea, must be of the very best quality. Rail
road advertising has certainly been the
means of bringing thousands of men here
from foreign countries to investigate our
manufactures and has wonderfully in
creased our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and maya
zine publication in America will have a
direct interest in the General Advertising
Department of the New York Central
Lanes, and every advertising agent on the
continent will take new lease of life
because of this endorsement of the value
Of advertising.

EDUCATIONAL ERRATA.

The retirement of DR.. William A.
Packard as Kennedy professor of
Latin language and literature and the
science of language at Princeton
marks the close of 35 years of active
teaching.
Granta, the Cambridge undergrad
uase organ, urges reform in the Eng
lish university education. 1t says:
Rendered unfit for business, the only
places open for the graduates are
schoolmastering and the church, and
in the uttermost parts of the earth
are to be found graduates of Oxford
and Cambridge, now become laborers,
beggars and outcasts.'
Prof. E. W. Clark, of Ripon col
fege, Wisconsin, has been honored by
the bureau Of university travel In
Rome in a manner which will make
it possible for him to go abroad each
summer and secure new stock OF
material for the lectures he is deliv-
ering. He has been engaged to con-
duct the teachers excursions to the
homes of the ancients and will spend
the next ten years in this manner.
A step has been taken toward the
