feel blue and discouraged just pause
and compare your lot in life with the
thousands of those in different lands
who barely have enough to eat to
sustain life, with perhaps no place to
lay their weary heads. Then thank
God that you are one of His favored

A Presbyterian clergyman was
praising the late DR.. Henry Martin
Field Of Stockbridge, who for A
years edited the Evangelist
''Dr. Field did so much good" he
said, because he went about his
work automatically, sensibly reason
ably. 1 once heard him declare that
reformers failed often because the
monent they started reform they
dropped common sense. Common
sense was swallowed up in zeal He
said that nerve cure faddist once
entered a shop and leading the pro-

DON'T eRUMBLE AT TRIPLES.
twenty-five Bushels Wheat and Forty

in Western Canada.

OoieSooto, OdSh-,
Sth December, 1906.
To the Editor
Dear Sir,
I willingly give you the result of my
four and a half years experience in
the District of Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here farmed in
Baldwin, st. Croix County, Wisconsin,
and as L have heard great deal about
the Canadian Northwest, decided
to take a trip there and see the ,coun-
try for myself. l was so impressed
with the richness of the soil that
bought half a section of land about
five miles from the town of Saltcoats.
1 moved on to the land the following
June and that year broke 90 acres,
which l cropped in 1904, and had 80
bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with
els wheat and So bushels of oats per
acre. In 1906, with 175 acres under
crop, I had 25 bushels wheat and 45
bushels of oats per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that l am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. Of course, 1 have had to work
hard, but 1 don't mind that when 1
get such good return for my labor
To anyone thinking about coming to
this country can truthfully say that
if they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifles, they are bound to
get on. Some things would like diff
ferent; but take the country all round,
don't know where to go to get bet
ter.

Great Stunt bv ceronims.

In single day Geronimo, when in
his prime, ran 40 miles on foot, rode
800 miles on one stretch, as fast as
he could change horses, and so COM
pletely wore out the column which
finally captured him that three sets
of officers were needed to finish the
chase, and not more than one-third
Of the troopers who started were IN
at the finish, says writer In Outing.
Wrinkled and crafty ana cruel is
his swarthy face today, but the fire
of his Internal energy has died and
he is no more than a relic OF the
Geronimo of whom Gen. Miles said
after their first meeting
He rode into OUR camp and dis
mounted, a prisoner He was one of
the brightest, most resorute, deter
