ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.
Boston Business Man Wanted to Take
Time to Catch Up.

Several years ago, when the Univer-
sity OF Chicago held it's decennial
celebration, John ID. Rockefeller was
its guest for several days. A bewild-
ering succession of functions followed
one another In such quick succession
that each affair was from one to four
hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day, Mr.. Rockefeller, in his after
dinner speech, told the following
story:
Il have felt for the past "a hours
like the Boston business man who
lived In the suburbs and came in to
his Office every day. One winter after.
noon he took the train for his home,
but terrific snowstorm was raging,
and about half way to his suburb the
train was showed In. All night the
passengers were imprisoned, but early
In the morning they managed to reach
nearby telegraph station, and the
Boston man sent the following dis.
patch to his Office:
Will not be in the office to-day.
Have not got home yesterday yeti

Cheap Irrigated Lands in the San
Luis Valley, Colorado, produce half
again as much hog feed as corn land,
one-fifth the labor. Hogs sell at a
premium.
Prof. HI. M. Cottrell, the Iowa expert,
says, Field Peas grow to perfection
there, and this feed produces gain at
least expense of anything grown in
Colorado. 1t costs from $3.50 to $500
an acre to raise peas, and an acre of
peas produces 400 pounds of pork.
They are feeding $4,000 hogs at the
present time in the San Luis Valley,
and IL the farmers there will devote
one-fifth Of the Valley to this industry,
they can turn out million head an.
nually."
Good Hog Men are alta premium In
the San Luis Valley and can get land
cheap and on easy terms. Renters,
this is your chance. The men who
hurry will get the land. For further

WHEN HIS BABY WAS DYING.
Tho MiII<man Was Late That Day, but
None Complained.

A few days ago people on Lnwood
boulevard who patronize certain
milkman missed his familiar before
breakfast ring, says the Kansas City
Star. 1t was late in the morning when
he finally made the rounds. And the
women scolded.
'Ill have to take milk from some
body else!" one irate housewife snap
ped.
"All right, madam" he said, softly.
Something in his voice made her
pause.
What made you late?" she demand,
ed, still angry.
A tear wavered on the milkman's
eye and trickled slowly down his
cheek.
"When-when I left home" he be.
gan.
He paused and gulped at something
in his throat.

was dying. / knew someone-weuld

SO l."
He could say nothing more. The
woman said, gently:
I'm sorry"
Next day the milkman failed to ap
pear. The second day he was around
very early.
I'VE buried her yesterday" was his
explanation.
No one chided him. They under.
stood. His baby wac dead.

saved by a Soma.

A boy was amusing himself by
watching the birds that were flying
around him. At length a beautiful
bobolink perched on rough bough of
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up stone, and got
ready to throw it at the bird. The
birds throat swelled, and forth came
the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link, bobo-
ling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a-nosweet,
know 1t, know it, a-link, a-link;
don't throw 1t, throw it, throw it."
And the boy did not throw the
stone, but dropped it on the ground.
why didn't you stone him, my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home"
The little fellow looked up and re-
piled. Couldn't 'cos he sang So
Puck.

CAAADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1906 Was
$4,000.

While Il 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, 1t 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 mceey, and our lead
Ing financial institutions are in 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
a whole, and ultimately lead to col.
lapse through the failure of the arti-
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro.
| lection in Canada such as would ere.
ate great fortunes for q 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 proportion.
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
It 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 II
| is quite reasonable to assume that
although mineral wealth Is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop far
greater productive capacity than al
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by iudicious 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 its punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
| gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
In Canada will create new Domin
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens of debt now freely assumed
Canada's era Of prosperity has beer
unprecedented, but there Is no sigr
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth Is
normal and healthy, we need have nc
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 o.
Americans have made their home!
during the past few years. The pas
calendar year has given to Canada b.
importation an addition of 10000 t,
it's population. OF this the Unitet
States contributed 63,7S1. The agent
of the Canadian government, who's
advertisement appears elsewhere, sa,
that this number will be largely In
creased during 1907.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
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. Plnkham'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.
