An Acute Observer.

A one-armed man sat down to his
MONDAY luncheon in little restaur-
ant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh
boris left sleeve hanging loose and
kept eyeing him in sort of how-did-
it-happen way. The one-armed man
failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position little, cleared
his throat and said: Il see, sir, you
have lost an arm"
Whereupon the unfortunate man
picked up the empty sleeve with his
right hand, peered into it, looked up
with surprised expression, and said:
'By George, sir, you're right"

FOUND OUT JUST IN TIME.
Or Finger Bowl Would Have Been Put
to Novel Use.

The late William Cassidy, one-time
editor of the Albany Argus, possessed
the traditional Irish wit. On one &C.
casion, a number of years ago, he was
a guest at political banquet in AL
bany. At that time finger bowls were
seldom used, and their correct usage
Ga passing fad meant to dip a corner
of the napkin in the water and there
with daintily cleanse the finger tips.
Most of the men present eyed the in
novation when introduced at dessert,
narrowly and uncertainty. One after
another ended by plunging the hand
into the crystal dish. But Mr.. Robert
Pruyn, well-known Albany gentle
man, correctly moistened a bit of his
napkin and laved his fingers. Mr..
Cassidy watched him admiringly, not
having as yet touched his own glass.

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
of the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told We're grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would it be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of a country pos
sessing soil that will grow things
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such cul-
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think
When a similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark. THAT is much ahead of any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think of
the yegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
cabbages, caulifowers, beets, man
COLDS, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion OF Can
ada at the nominal cost of $40 for 160
acres. Ii adjoining land is wanted it
can be secured from the railway COM
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms.

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.

The following colloquy is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry,
under orders to support a section OF
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite while on a perfectly fiat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. OF course, to
lie fiat on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. AS a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were "plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel,
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike, what do the British sol
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as a fash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
SORT"
After full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
However, be that as it may, wish
l could pick up this d road and
stan it on edge feminist mel"

HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brothers Method Was Simple, but
Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswell had just returned,
after spending a week with country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
well-stocked wardrobe empty!
Gracious, George!" she said to her
brother. where are all my clothes?
And what in the world is that great
black patch on the lawn?"
The face of George exhibited all the
well-known signs of conscious right
eousness, and he met her gaze un-
fiinchingly.
Maria" he replied consolingly, "you
wrote to me that if l wanted the key
of the billiard room / should find it in
the pocket of your bolero."
"Yes, yes!"
"Well, | don't know bolero from a
fichu or a box pleat, so l took all the
things to the lawn and burnt them.
Then | recovered the key from the
ashes"
She froze him with stare, and he
is now thawing slowly on the kitchen
stove.-Stray Stories.
