MEAN ELINes AT EDITORS.
Tributes by Lafcadio Hearn to Glass
of Workers He DisIiked.

"Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful.
writer, worked on newspapers in his
YOUTH" said publisher, land the
ruthless way his studies were changed,
cut and butchered was a great woe
to his heart.
'In after years Hearn took a mali
cious joy in collecting stories about
editors-editors and their superior
and omniscient way with manuscript.
zone of his stories was of an editor
to whom subscriber said:
"I enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr..
Sheers; I enjoyed it immensely. Do
you know, though, I thought it was
originally written the seven ages of
mann
$50 it was, sir; so it was,' said
Editor Sheers, pompously. Yes, the
extract was originally written the
seven ages of man, but I had to cut it
down for the lack of space
Another story concerned a weather
report. A reporter, discussing the
weather, wrote that winter still lin
gered in the lap of spring.
THE editor, as he read over the
article, called the reporter to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
in springs lap. He said the idea was
good enough, and all that sort of
thing, but it would not do to publish
because the high moral tone of the
paper had to be maintained in a town
full of school girls"

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL

Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the, soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact of its superiority. During the
past season 1t has been shown that
in grain raising qualities it possessed
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had it
not been for the frost early in August,
which visited most of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 100000 acres was sown to win
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large. There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
steads, the Canadian Government CIV
ing 16O acres free, and entry may be
made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable cost to the
American who may have entry made
in this way Any Canadian Govern
ment Agent will give you the partic-
ulars.
Your correspondent has just re-
ceived the following letter from Craik,
Saskatchewan, which bears out the
statement made in the first part of
this letter.
"Craik, Sask., Aug. 1907.
MAY oath we planted a Dahlia root,
which we brought with us from Min
neapolis. Aug. 18th, so days later, it
was in bloom. The plant is now Az
feet high and covered with blossoms.
We never got half as many flowers on
it in Minneapolis, even during Septem.
Der and October, although we had
more time to attend to it there"
1 mention this only as an example
of the great productive power of the
soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada.

CAUGHT Whiskers In Safe.

In locking his safe the other night
prior to his going home for supper
George Edgemont, paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-
ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. .
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut, catching the end of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself. With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov-
cred about an hour after the accident
by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
broken open by a locksmith.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Whole Head and Neck Covered-Hair

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
This Servant Girl Was Evidently {
Person of Resource.

AS source of humor the Irish SER
want girl has long since fallen from
her high estate, result probably due
to the better class of young women
from the Emerald Isle who come here
annually to help confuse the eternal
servant girl question" But now and
again one of the old, naively ignorant
sort turns up in New York house
hold, as was demonstrated the other
day to caller at house on the West
Side.
The girl who responded to the bell
was asked if her mistress was at
home To this inquiry she surprised
the caller by putting her arms behind
her back and replying in a rich
brogue, as she thrust her face toward
the caller: Put tn tickets in me
mouth, ma'am, an I'll go an see. Me
hands is wet"-N. Y. Press.

thus:

The town meeting, Saturday, to act on the question of uniting the Middle and North Center districts, was attend ed by about 100 voters. mostly from the two districts. Town Clerk Houlihan read the call and Daniel c. Beers was made chairman. The advantages of the union were clearly stated by Rev J. H. George. T. J.Corbett arose and briefly stated his objections to the union, and one other voter, MT Bren- nan, wanted the old order of things to remain. These objections had little weight, apparently, with the meeting, for the vote in favor was almost unan- imous.
