SQUIRRELS an Walters,

1t has taken Fisk Goodyear Of
Burchtown, Pa, two years to train
his pet squirrels, but his efforts are
now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he
treated his friends to a surprise.
Gathering half hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr.. Goodyear taught
them to go into the woods and pick
mp nuts, carrying them to his home.
On Thanksgiving night at a dinner
his guests noticed small board run
ming from a window to nut bowl.
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped a chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
q squirrel with a walnut. three knocks
q shellbark.
Finally, a grave. old squire, took
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance by brushing
of the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body

full Cure by Cutcura.

Last year suffered with a tremen-
dous itching on my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
SO I suffered torments, and had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and l had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
was as sore as could be, and until
suffered excruciating pains. They told
me that / was suffering from eczema.
Then l made up my mind that would
use the Cuticura Remedies. / used
them according to instructions, and
very soon indeed l was greatly re-
lieved. continued until we'll, and
now I am ready to recommend the Gu

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK
Philadelphia Man Victorious In Hand
to-Hand Combat.

Unarmed and alone, Thomas Dyke
was attacked by wildcat on Locust
mountain, south of Mount Carmel, Pa.
He had been in Ashland and started
to drive home. His horse stepped on
a nail and he put the animal in sta
BILE.
Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of a wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. Tho animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon it. For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
NAL and the man went on. At length
by q quick swing he broke the ami
mails back.
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,
but otherwise he was uninjured.

The Sunny South.

Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased in the north, the term
Sunny south" and all that 1t means,
appeals with full force to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
it is a case of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season. In the
sunny south" something can be
raised every month in the year, and
practically every day can be spent out
doors. No billiards. No sunstrokes.
Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large
profits are made with little labor in
growing fruits, vegetables, etc, for
northern markets. Strawberries and
cantaloupes are great revenue getters,
Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful,
Lands cheap and productive. For re-
liable information, address G. A. Park,

ATTRACTIONS or WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1905.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many Of our journals
and public men to "sit up and take no
tice." to use current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State In the Union large
number Of settlers have fiocked to the
prairie provinces Of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves OF them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
OF soil and suitability OF climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat In the
world-the "No. Hard" Of Canadian
growth---and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 90
100000 bushels; oats, 76,0O00O0 bush
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when it Is considered that the entire
population OF the three provinces--as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
Just completed--is only $4,000, 1t is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler Is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement Of agricultural operations.
This Is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and In the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle.
ment in recent years.
The free grant system OF home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions OF actual settlement (by no
means onerous) Is given 100 acres
free, except $40 for entry. is a great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over $4,000 add
tional to the western population, OF
which 57,7s6 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent Of the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy of access in ever
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare OF his family
in mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law ant
order are proverbial, completes
circle of good and sufficient reasoni
why the tide of immigration has Sc
In so steadily toward the country t.
the north of our boundary line.

The Evils Of Constipation.
