IRRIGATION
Vs.
INSURANCE

"Mr. Mcekly," said gentleman who had
recently lost his wife, 81 desire to begin to
lay up something for my children while l
have good situation. What insurance COM
pany is the best? You know since Lawson's
expose Of the big three-''
"Pshaw, Brother Smith, interrupted the
pastor "Insurance is now back number
out of date. | know of nothing which will
compare with an equal amount of money in
vested in irrigated land. 1t possesses every
recommendation which insurance has and
you don't have to die to win. 1t is safer
in fact there is nothing so safe-it pays divi-
dends annually, dividends which amount to
something" ~~~..~ AA.-~
"But the insurance companies pay"
'"1'ut tut, Smith, even when paid, insur-
ance dividends so trifling they would

cation and it's possibilities for several years
and have made up my mind there is no in

The auIinc Passion.

a celebrated musical critic was mar-
rfed in church some years age and
after the ceremony, as the wedding
procession marched down the aisle, the
orgapist PLAYED the wedding march
from "Loheugrin." When neal the
door, t.le bridegroom stopped in the
iulrc. AID addressed the wondering
assembly thus:
II know | am committing Il breach
of etiquette as we'll as propriety in
doing this. but I am not to blame. 1t
is ms mental organization which has
become ineffably sensitive by reason
of the critical nature Of my duties"
Then he drew from the pocket of his
dress coat a we'll thumbed copy of the
score of ~"Lollengrin." Opening 1t at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
what offended my ear was the fact
that in the seventeenth bar of the da
capo passage you flatted very badly,
and in the andante movement you
slurred the appoggiatura. Now" put
ting his finger upon the passage, "let
us try that again"
Once more the organ pealed forth,
and this time the player, conscious
that the great critic was listening to
him, accomplished his duty with credit
to himself and to the great satisfac-
ton Of the crltic.-London Standard.

The Sick Chinaman.

Perhaps nowhere in the world is
family affection stronger than among
the Chinese. yet their method of deal
ing with the sick is pitiable to the
more enlightened world. When a ia
vorite son falls i'll his life depends
largely upon a package of joss sticks.
The grieving father seeks a joss house,
procures a handful of these sticks and,
taking them home, lights them. He
shakes them gently. Soon II falls.
Is it lighted? Eagerly the father
watches it. Will it burn to the end
or so out? If it is entirely consumed
the son will survive; if it goes out he
will die. 1t goes out!
The Chinaman reasons thus: His son
was chased by a devil and when the
devil touched him be became i'll. The
devil demonstrated by mean of the
joss sticks that his son must die. Had
the joss sticks burned to- the end it
would have signified the future recov-
cry of the patient. Joss men would
have been called in, a most fearful
din would have followed, and the dev-
il and all his lower imps would have
been driven away.-New York Herald.

A Life Sentence.

Said Mr.. Joacker. who was reading
the paper, another poor wretch has
been given Il life sentence at hard
labor"
Said Mrs. Joacker, who was embroid-
erins blue roses: Probably he de-
serves it. What is he guilty OFF,
Fraud and no visible means Of sup
port. He obtained clothes and q fine
turnout with no money and nothing
collectible. He seems to be larger
and stronger than most Of that class,
yet it is plain that he has never done
a tap of work, though he has managed
to live we'll so far. But the poor fell
low takes his sentence hard and cries
~piteously, protesting his innocence
"Thc wretch! He must have dealt
with perfect fools!"
"No; his victim is our own friend,
Jack Smith,"

"Shoutinq."

Early Australian gold diggers made
many contributions to the slang of
that commonwealth. One of these
was shouting" or standing drinks for
everybody within hall, a practice of
which the lucky digger vas very fond.
To refuse to drink with a digger who
had ''struck it rich,' or turned up a
big nugget. was a deadly insult. A
critic quotes from j. F. Hogan's "His-
tory of the Irish In Australia "Shout-
ing was at II time almost universal
To shout in a public house means to
insist on everybody present. friends
and strangers alike. drinking at the
shouter's expense. 1t frequently hap
pens that each one shouts in success

talked with a number of farmers
the past week about macaroni
wheat, and all agreed that they
have sowed the last of that variety.
In every case so far this year the
report has been that the yield is
not SO good as the blue stem, and
the quality is poorer, too. Then
the price is much lower for
macaroni than for the blue stem,
the difference on the Minneapolis
market amounting to 24c bushel.

know through your own eyes and
ears Just how things are being done
there. You should know, first
hand, the difficulties the teacher is
encountering daily.
Miss Grace Morrison, teaching
her second year in Perkins school,
No. as, has an enrolment of thirty
one pupils. This is, so far, the
banner enrolment for early fall
terms. This attendance speaks
we'll alike for Miss Morrison and
the patrons of the school.
Notifications of beginning Of
school have been received the past
week from No, 40, Jessie Gardner;
Armstrong, No. Sd, Josie Demp
ster, Tabor, No. .58, Sister Mary
Sullivan ; No. 60, Glenne Nj. Gill.
On driving to a school house the
other day about 10 so there were
found to be but two little girls
about the premises. One of them
volunteered the information that
"teacher" and the other pupils had
gone for a walk. In q few minutes
the teacher and pupils Fifteen in
number) were eel returning. The
appearance was not unlike that Of II
hen mother and her brood The
teacher who gets near to natures
heart along with her pupils will al
so get near to their hearts.
When the small children have re-
cited their lessons we'll and have
! done we'll the other work assigned
them, it seems wise that they
should be allowed to pass out of
doors and play very quietly. 1t is
certainly better for the little ones
to be quietly playing outside with
the CONSCIOUSNESS that they have
done their work we'll and may free
ly enjoy themselves, thal to be
lounging in an uncomfortable seat,
feeling that he ought to be doing
something when there is really
nothing to do, and acquiring habits
of Incidence and mischief. This
matter handled skillfully may be
made a powerful aid in the man
agement of a school. Suppose the
little ones be encouraged to play
"store," 'house" etc while outside.
Self examination questions for
teachers:
l. Have you enrolled in the teach
ers' Reading Circle?
2. Are you a careful student of at
least two good educational jour
nails
8. Is your floor swept and your
room busted daily?
4. Are your windows bright and
cheerful?
5. Is your school yard neat and
free from rubbish? Ii not, try a
bee.
6. Do you empty your ashes in
the front yard?
z. Do you know your lessons 80
we'll that you do not have to peep
into the book every few minutes to
see if the recitation is correct?
8. Are you at the school housed by
$50?
8. Do you teach your pupils hab-
its Of self reliance, industry, accur-
acy and neatness?
10. What are you doing to better
your own position aud ability?
The pupils were reciting arith-
metic, the Rotations we're given
largely from the board. The pupils
we're required to put their work
down neatly and concisely, leaving
out no signs or steps. After the
written analysis orally, pointing to
each operation as given. This work
was conducted by Miss Mary MUIR
tina of ElklPoint. It is evident that
with this kind ofteaching the pupils
of Fair View school, No. so, will
secure much good from this years
work.
