MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first Of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

"Mr. Clay was of a personality once
seen never to be forgotten. Tall,
slender, graceful, he had besides the
air majestic which kings affect, i'm
agining it exclusive property.
Throughout Mr.. Clay's performance
my eyes scarcely left his countenance,
which, as he proceeded, sank from
sight until, by the familiar optical
illusions, nothing of it remained but
the mouth, and that kept charging
and widening until it seemed an elias
tic link holding the ears together.
Indeed, at this late writing, my one
distinct recollection of the man and

ity for infinite distension "-Autobiog-

Remarkable Incident That Started
Humble Newspaper Man on Road
to Fame-ToId of Prince
Co;.sort's Death.

Newspaper scoops" are, usually, Oh
little account in the journalistic world
OF England. Yet it was a SCOOP
and most remarkable one which gave
Thomas Calling, the veteran London
editor, his first step up the ladder.
Mr.. Calling, after half century OF
work on Lloyd's Weekly London
News, he's resigned and left active
Journalism on the first of the year
he was succeeded by Robert Donald,
managing editor of the Daily Chroni-
Gle.
Mr.. Cuttings memorable scoop"
was no less than, the announcement
or the death of the prince consort,
Queen Victoria's husband 1t occurred
on Saturday evening, just As years
ago.
The prince consort was ill, but his
death was not expected There were
no reporters at Windsor castle except
ing Calling. Douglas Jerrold was then
editing Lloyds. He wanted a report
on the condition of the princes ill.
ness, but there were few news agen-
c1es in those days and his staff of re-
porterS were busy. So Jerrold drew
on the composing room and because
OF his smart and active look, selected
young Calling, then one of the COM
positors, to go down to Windsor. Mr..
Calling, in telling the story himself,
says that when he reached Windsor
it was nearly dark and raining. He
walked to the castle and, of course,
was refused admission.
There was no one at the main gates
who would or was authorized to give
him information. He wandered about
in the rain for a couple of hours,
prowling around the outskirts of the
castle, hoping something would turn
up. Wet, cold, miserable, realizing
that he had dismally failed on his first
assignment, Calling determined to
walk once more around the castle be-
fore going Londonward. He offered
up little prayer, bareheaded in the
rain, asking for help in his need
That prayer was quickly answered
The guard had just been changed and,
as Calling passed one of the solitary
sentries at little wicket gate, he OBJ
served that the man was in tears. In
reply to a question the man said word
had just been taken to the guardroom
that the prince consort had passed
away.
Calling got hurriedly such particu-
lars as the sentry knew and was then
off to London. He reached the Lloyd's
News Office shortly after midnight.
The paper published the story and
"scooped'' every paper in the world.
The death was only "unofficially" an
nounced by England some hours later.
The composing room saw Calling NO
more. He vas at once given a po-
sition on the editorial staff and five
years later was promoted second in
command, or chief sub-editor, as it is
called in England. Eighteen years la
ter he was appointed to the editorship,
which he has held ever since.I

Many Americans Go to Canada.

Consul Harry A. Conant writes from
Windsor that the total immigration
from the United States into Canada
for the four months of the fiscal year
July, August, September and Octo-
ber-was 1907, as compared with 12,-
664 for the same period the year be-
fore.

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1906 Was

While 1t is well to heed every
word OF caution from the leaders in
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack a
solid business foundation, it is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
The Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty of money, and our lead
Ing financial institutions are in a po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises of Canada are not buoyed up
by an era Of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial bust
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of the arti-
f1cial aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes for a few at the
expense of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tificial foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion of
trade and Industry, with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for it
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by a judicious pol
Icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation OF our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not in
the flush of a railway mania that
could bring it's punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
in Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens of debt now freely assumed
Canada's era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at it's rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
Importation an addition of 100000 to
its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7S1. The agents
of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely in
creased during 1907.
