ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND SUC- CEssFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI TOBA-sOIL PRODUCES
 STRIKING RESULTS.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of few days since contains account of the success that followed the CT forts of William Knowles, an English man who located near Winnipeg, Man. itoba. This is but one of many let ters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to:
 William Knowles. who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as fine a dis play of horticultural products as any in Manitoba The whole of his hold ing is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have Tor tunately escaped damage by hail, al though heavy storms have more than once occurred within few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of Az acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvellous collection of tomatoes. There are GOO plants, all growing under an enor- nous weight of fruit One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvellous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office.
 The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, includ- ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re- markedly healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, caulifiow- CT, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de- partment has not been neglected and charming display of all the we'll known blooms were shown, including v specially choice lot of asters.
 Mir. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratifed with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture.

JUDGE EMULATES SOLOMON.
Odd Trick Soon Decides Who Owns a
 Philadelphia Dog.

Philadelphia.-Suit over the owner ship of a, dog has been settled in court here in a novel manner The plaintiff Mrs Mary Crane. swore the dog be longed to her. The defendant, Pat rick O'Malley, asserted with equal positiveness that the animal was his, so the magistrate concluded that the dog should decide the case, and the sagacious little fellow ran to the side of the woman.
 In arranging for the test the mag istrate sent the woman into the street two squares from the court, and OMalley was stationed two squares in an opposite direction. The dog, a lit tie fox terrier was liberated by the magistrate, Mrs. Crane stood motion less, without even holding out her arms toward the little dog. OMalley, on the other hand. set up loud whstling.
 The dog glanced at the crowd on the sidewalk in front of the police sta tion, and then turned it's head toward O'Malley. The latter held out his hand. but the animal faced about till it caught sight of Mrs. Crane Then end ed its hesitation. With sharp bark of delight it raced away over the pave ment, and the next moment was leap- ing about the woman.

Affair Closely Resembling a Duel to the Death Afforded Diversion to Crowd on San Francisco

San Francfsco.-An electric car, a gasoline runabout, willing and over Zealous motorman, two amateur au- tomobile enthusiasts and chorus of apprciative street car patrons-these composed the principals, supporting cast and audience which figured in a one act arenic spectacle put on with out prior announcement in the middle of Sutter street between Pierce and Scott
 The event, which had every element of tragedy but at the same time was replete with delicate humor which converted it into comedy, was in the nature of gladiatorial struggle to the death between electricity and gas oline. As an exhibition of mortal com bat it was an equal of the melodramat' ic thriller of 10 cent theater, for all concerned got it in the neck in the end.
 The aGtomobile-a one cylinder af' fair-started the trouble; but then, too much should not be said about it's faults for the dear departed should not be reviled. Suffice it that the machine suffered paralysis in the middle or the eastbound street car track and that the ministrations of it's two occu- pants were of no avail. It's wheels absolutely refused to go around either in answer to the appeal of its own engine or when urged by the strong arms of it's disgruntled passengers. Then the street car came up behind and stopped.

 The motorman was accommodating.
 He unslung the heavy connection bar used when well car goes to the as sistance of a sick one, and attaching one end to the front of the car, braced the other against the back of the auto mobile. Then he turned on all tho juice.

The country requires the services OF
many officials, and it is not likely that
there will ever be any scarcity of candi-
dates, but the young man who starts in
life with determination to avoid Office
seeking and office-holding will be much
more apt to succeed than he who starts

OFFlCE-SEEKlNG AND OFFICE-HOLDING.

If the young men of this country fully
appreciated the evils of office holding, we
would not witness SO many of the evils OF
office seeking. Not only in Washington
but in every city, town and neighborhood
in the land are to be found young men OF
fair attainments and. character who are
wasting their energies and running their
tempers in the wild chase of the igni.
tafuns of official allurements. These NAV
be numbered by thousands and tens of
thousands, and probably not one in ten is
ever rewarded with the slightest success.
and not one in thousand has his dreams
fully realized.
The energy and persistency that is
exerted by office-seekers would be almost
certain to be rewarded with success in any
OF the ordinary vocations of life, and in
such vacations young men would be to a
great extent free from the temptations and
vexations that beset the office-seeker.
Even when one obtains the coveted
office, he is generally as poorly off as if
he had been defeated. There are few
offices that pay more than will afford the
incumbent respectable support. There
are very few indeed out of which money
can be honestly and honorably accumu-
lated. Official station is not always
place of honor these days, and more rarely
still is it found to be place of luxury and
ease. There are trials and vexations
enough for the most faithful, and there is
usually trouble enough for the unfaithful,
Office holding has tendency to unfit
one for other business. The mind gets
into rut from which it is difficult for it to
be withdrawn. Self-reliance, independ-
ence, snap, are sacrificed in many in
stances, and the office-holder, at the end
OF his term, finds himself more helpless
than youth just out of school, for he has
