In locking his safe the other night prior to his going home for supper George Edgemont, paperhanger who lives at Jefferson street and Hermit age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe door upon his flowing whiskers and was held until released by his daugh. ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Edgemont had been out collecting bills during the day. Returning to his office he opened his safe and placed the money in it. He then threw the door shut, catching the end of his beard in the door In the excitement incident to his odd predieament he forgot the combination and so could not release himself. With his chin resting on the safe he was discov- cred about an hour after the accident by his daughter, who came to find what had delayed him. The safe was broken open by a locnsmith.

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
 WESTERN CANADA SOIL

Winnipeg Correspondence.
 There has never been any who have doubted the productiyeness of the soil of Western Canada. but there are sometimes found those who question the fact of it's superiority. During the past season it has been shown that in grain raising qualities it possessed the very best. The late spring pre- vented grain being sown in many cases before the middle of May Yet, large percentage of that sown at that time produced excellent yields Had il not been for the frost early in August, which visited most of the north half of the continent, there would have been a magnificent yield in every dis. trict in Western Canada Throughout the Southern Alberta district where about 00000 acres was sown to win ter wheat the yield will be enormously large. There are vast tracts of yalu able grain growing land in Western Canada that are available for home steads, the Canadian Government giv ing 160 acres free, and entry may be made by proxy, by any near relative thus saving considerable cost to the American who may have entry made in this way. Any Canadian Govern ment Agent will give you the partic ulars.
