WHAT FATHER AND HARRY AC-
COMPLISHED.

An Illinois Man Writes Regarding
His Success in Western Canada
Change in Homestead Regulations
Make Entry Easily Accomplished.
Nothing succeeds like success is an
old and true saying having many ap-
plications in Western Canada. The
following letter is an illustration. The
time ago and the success he has achiey
ed may well be gained by anyone haY-
ing pluck and energy by locating on
the free homestead lands in Western
Canada. A change has recently been
made n the Canadian Land Reguia-
tons concerning homesteads, which
makes it possible for any member OF
family to make entry for any other
member of the family entitled to
homestead. For instance man may
now make entry before the local agent
for his father or for his brother or
brothers, or for his son or SONS, or for
a sister or daughter who may be the
head of the family having minor chill
dren depending upon her for support.
A sister, daughter or mother are also
entitled to make entry for any members
of the family who are permitted entry
upon homestead. The only fee re-
quired is $40 for each entry. A great
saving in railway expenses is thus
made Read what Mr.. Gerts has to

Gentlemen: What k lumber aorthz Depends on the lum- Der, you say" what sort do you waut?
 That's how some people talk about paint. They ask: What will you paint my house forzz"
 The Yankee answer is: How do you want II paintsd> One coatz two eoatsj three eoatsf tirst-elass or cheap"
 The proper answer k: T want the best paint put on as 1t ought to be. =
 That's Devoe; but the usual answer is: II want d good job; but l want 1t cheap. Which means: l want you to paint it for nothing. want to be fooled. Lead-and-oil IS the costliest pant. not the best; 1t used to be best. Devoe is best, since zinc came in: Devoe lead-and-zine.
 Zine toughens the lead aud doubles it's wear.
 Zinc costs no more than lead, and We grind by machinery.
 We have no patent on zine: but nobody else Is treating t right. Deyoe iS your paint.

Senators Carlock and Thompson

In recent issue the Little Rock Democrat printed q sketch of the members of the senate. with this eharae- teristic. pecuiiarities. etc. and the following k what was said about the representatives from this section:
 Senator Carlock k the only member of the Senate who knows the bible from Genesis to Revela- ations by heart. The Senator from Madison k aware of the fact, and he k doing his best to drive God word into the con- paratlyely benighted braIns of his colleagues. He uses the book as a guide for his course of action, and thus far nothing he has said or done could be consid- cred as wicked. So evidently the scriptures have done the Senator some good. and who then shall gainsay the righteous ness of his mission in the Senate? The Senator from Madison k the only member of that body who has served there more than four years. The greatest characteris- tIc Of the Senator k that he wants to know, He will never vote on a bill without knowing its contents thoroughly, and he refuses to be >wayed by auy feeling or Sentimentality or any other reason than that ot simple justice. An examination of the records will show that Senator Carloek has voted on at least ten measures that al the other mem bers have approved If there ever was man that was incor- ruptlble t k the Senator from Madison, and lt would be inter- esting to see the color of anyone> eyes that would try to offer him bribe. Ii the study of the Bible develops such menIt would be yell to make 1t a qualification of all legislators.

 What made the occasion more pronounced, was the fact that Mrs. Rubottom is going to lili- nols soon, where she owns q large farm. to live with her sis ter. She has lived here eleven years. during which time she has made many friends. and they ali regret very much to see her go away.
 Soon after the guests had ar rived II was announced that din- Ter was ready. The dinner was d marvel of beauty as we'll as ex- cellence, and to say that 1t was greatly appreciated by ali pres ent, would be telling the whole truth. Choice meats of various kinds, and pies and cakes innum- erable, and many other viands too numerous to mention.

Ten-MiIe Line Now Almost Finished. Opens Gateway Through San Fran cisco Hills That Stopped City's Southward Growth.

Within three months will be opened a new gateway of five tunnels and 12.- GOO feet of trestle. all within a distance of ten miles through the hill barrier that has until now barred the line of San Francisco's southward expansion. In an article in the June Sunset Ma gaZine" describing the great feat of railroad engineering and showing the wonderful effect it will have upon the growth of the city. The Bay Shore cutoff is ranked with New York's under river tunnels. The Sunset writ CT says:
 In demonstrating the ancient geo. metrical axiom concerning the shortest Nuisance between two points, the Southern Pacific company has built lately straight line of railroad ten miles long, whose immediate result is to double the habitable area of San Francisco by breaking the power of these hills. In constructing the Bay Shore cutoff the railroad company was moved by the requirements of it's traffic rather than by the alluring project of multiplying the foundations of city. Yet the result is the same. It is but furthere example of the rail- road throwing d roadbed into which the tide of history flows.
 In the past the Coast Line road has wound northwestward to Colma. and in a series of curves notheastward through ocean Views and the sub urbs of the city proper to the terminus at Third and Townsend streets. a dis tance of 14.10 miles. This was imper- feet railroading for several reasons. IL was not the shortest distance be- tween two points. There was excess sive curvatures and heavy grades. made necessary by following the grades of the city streets. The prob lem which a progressive railroad ad- ministration faced was how to elimin- ate distance. grade and time, which latter is written upon modern railroad schedules with an upper-case T.
 A straight-edge laid between the foot of Third street, San Francisco. and San Bruno. on a typographical map, will indicate the route of the Bay Shore cutoff as exactly as it was practicable to build it. If your map happens to be one of the comprehen- sive papier mache affairs which are seen in SchoolroomS and railroad of fees. you will find the ruler lofted by ridges which cut it at no less than five points. These represent the five ranges of hills-ranges of barrier hills which have held the imprisoned val leys safe from occupancy by the spreading metropolis. San Francisco. The power of the hills has been brok- en by driving five tunnels, aggregating

Luncheon served in carriages lined up along the curbstone is the latest fad introduced to Philadelphia. This innovation was witnessed when a car riage containing a man and a woman fashionably dressed was stopped in front of a Chestnut street restaurant. The coachman got down from his seat and hastened into the restaurant. and in a short time a waiter appeared on the sidewalk with a trayful of edibles. The food was handed into the carriage. and the occupants fell to eating. in full view of passersby. The idea promises to become popular among shoppers. who. as a rule. find the public dining rooms crowded just about the time they want their lun- cheon, says the Philadelphia Record.
