Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
II 1t were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields Of Wheat and
''. Good Prices. .r~a,

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906.
Mr.. w. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern
ment Agent, 49,.
N Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
" When you were at our place in July
4 promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember 1t was all sown to wheat.
Well, | finished threshing yesterday
and received from 1t an average of
s43A bushels per acfe-testing GAY
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
Is the best sample have ever raised
so uniform and even In size. You
may know it was a good sample when
tell you that / have already sold 1000
bushels Of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
II you remember l pointed out to
you half section lying just. west Of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which said should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. | am very
glad to be able to tell you that now
own that half section. My ambition
now Is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If SOME
of those good, honest HOLSTERS could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, feel sure
they would have been forced : to
acknowledge there is no better farm.
ing country in the world than this.
may just say that have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
go you see "old Indiana Is holding the
ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,

orlaIn Of "Helpme.t.n

"Helpmeet" has had a curious his
tory which began with the biblical
account Of the creation, when "the
Lord God said, 1t Is not good. that
the man should be alone; will make
him an help meet for him" That is
to say, a fit assistant. But the two
words hove become curiously combin-
ed into "helpmeet," and they are
constantly used as one Moreover,
the confusion Is increased by the cor
ruption of the words into "help-mate, /"
and Macaulay writes of the waiting
woman who was generally consider
ed as the most suitable help mate for
a parson."

those sold by the homo merchant,
which probably cost them few cents

Since the catalogue house has
sprung Into the commercial world and
z begun operations in the United States,
ail kinds OF schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
h their struggle for the almighty dol
lar Of the country people, and they
have been so far successful, at the
great expense Of the home town OF the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit Of the catalogue house,
aad these circulated among the coun.
try people ct ten or 10 cents year.
They build up circulation on this
, bow price Of hundreds Of thousands;
. this circulation brings to them mil
. lions Of dollars In advertising from the
' catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for advertising Is more than
doubled from the sales Of these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction. II
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came is the CHEAPEST place in the
country to buy, and 1t is, II the person
receiving this catalogue wants a.theap
article, not only in price, but also in
make and material. Tie farmer re-
ceives this catalogue, Jocks it over,
and latter reading the well composed
guaEantee or assurance that the sodds
DESCRIBED in it are the very best that
can be found anywhere. sends in an
ordsF. The house receives the order
end Immediately ships the articles
wanted. The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box is
opened It is found to contain some
ddng much below bis expectations,
b6t this does not satisfy his mind on
ths fact that he has been duped. and
chat he Is not getting his full money
value. In second order he may be
treated the same as therfrst one, but
ssiil he may think that he has saved
mansy BY buying It where he could
gst II cheap. n
Al the same time the merchant al
home has the goods on the shelf In
his store waiting for them to be taken

from the wholesaler or manufacturer
and 1t will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
as II It had been ordered from a cata-
logue house. The home merchants
business must be kept up and in order
to do this 1t is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out OF
the struggle for existence among the
country people. 80
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller OF these
articles when he wants anything In
the merchants line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should DO
seen and arrangements made for the
purchase of the article, II he does not
carry 1t In stock.
The home merchant advertises or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper because
1t gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements Of the merchants are
read by them. II the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can
not afford to advertise, and without
advertising paper will soon prove a
failure. Soon the home paper Is sent
to the wall for the want OF support
from the merchants; 1t may have
large circulation, but without the mer'
chants help 1t will soon be lost to
sight Then the merchant Is next to
get out Of business for the want OF
support, and the town will decrease In
population, and the people Will won
der what the trouble is when the
editor and the merchant leave town
together.
The home merchant contributes to
the support Of the church, he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up, he
contributes to the horse show, the fall
festival, and the hundred and one
things that he Is supposed to help out
and give. his support to. He Is at the
head Of the list for everything that Is
for the good Of the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty CO
operation of all the people, all the
time, that are interested in the well
fare of the community In which they
live. The merchant helps to elect the
men that are to represent them in the
city, county, state and national af'

fairs, and he is ever on the go looking
to the interests of the people. =.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer-
chants Of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support Of the people and 1t is not
fair to expect this Of the men that arc
striving for livelihood, when the peo-
pie send their money to concern In
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any Of these enterprises
or take an interest In the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indus
tries, brings more to the town and
keeps them there, and 1t helps to build
up the place. But the town will be at
a stand-still so long as the people per-
slst in this way Of robblng the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
II the people will keep their money
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, it will take on a metropoll-
tan look. and the people will say to
their neighbor that business lis good,
and 1t will be, as. long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar.
kets. The least that a person can do
toward the betterment Of the COM
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and zee to 1t

all concerned In the welfare of his

The proof of the merits of a plaster
is the cures 1t effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcocks are the original and gen.

been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in

How to Sleep In a Blanket.

the rest Of it. have never seen des-
cribed the woodlands method of using
a blanket, however. Lie fiat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, OF course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge un-
der from left to right, and over the
first edge. Lower your legs, wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep. II
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will tighten.-Stewart

WARRANT ISSUED FOR ARREST
Judge Had No official. N !! OF
Writ THE Superior Court Grant
ed Writ of Error --Federal Court
Has Case.

San Francisco March u. -- ADra'
ham Ruef, the local political leader,
who yesterday secured a writ OF err
ror from Supreme Judge Hebbard,
did not appear today before Superior
Judge Dunno for trial on the indlct-
ments for alleged felony returned
by the grand jury. u
Ruef and his attorneys considered
that the action of Judge Hebbard
acted as bar to further proceed
ings before Judge Dunno on the
ground that following the granting
of the writ steps had been taken to
carry the case to the United States
supreme court the federal appeal
being based on the plea that Ruef
has been deprived of his constitu-
tiona rights. When court opened
this morning Assistant District At
torney Heney announced that the
prosecution was prepared to pro-
coed with the trial of Rucf. This
was the day set for the trial OF
Ruef, but the defendant was not
present The court directed the
baliff to call Ruef at the door. One
Of the defendants attorneys arose
to call the attention of the court to
the action of Judge Hebbard, but
Heney objected to any action in the
absence Of the defendant. The
bailiff then reported that Ruef had
failed to respond. The court with
out comment directed the clerk to
issue a. warrant to take the defend.
ant into custody. Ruefs counsel
protested vigorously, saying: II
think, your honor, that such action
might bring you in contempt of the
supreme court of the United States.
The court quietly replied that he
did not need instructions and was
not concerned with what other tri
bunals might do.
The attorney, however, persisted
in outlining the transactions else
where in Ruef's behalf and Judge
Dunno said. 81
81 am going to proceed with this
trial until the supreme court Off
Gals, state or the United States
court of appeals commands me to
desist."
A recess of an hour was ordered
to permit the sheriff to apprehend
the defendant.
Upon reconvening the deputy
sheriff reported that his search hal
been fruitless This brought Heney
to his feet with the declaration: IF
your honor will appoint Mr., Burns
Ia detective) an elizor, will guar
antee to have the defendant in
court at o'clock. In fact will
have him here in half an hour"
The court responded that he
would give the sheriff until 9
O'Clock to find Ruef.
AT 2 o'clock Sheriff O'Neil report.
ed that he and his deputies had gone
to the defendants office but were
unable to find trace of him. Judge
Dunno ordered an adjournment I'M
til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to
give the sheriff time to find the
missing defendant
Detective Burns, who is assisting
the prosecution, said he was certain
Ruef had not left the city. but had
been in secret consultation with one
Of his counsel during the time the
deputies were searching" for him
From information brought to him
Burns was confident that Ruef had
secluded himself in a room attached
to a restaurant. Assistants of Burns
kept watch on the place tonight.
