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
that homesteads Of go acres we're
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege.
tables, which he was !.old were 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 ear 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 a soil that will grow things.
But that 1t was possible to grow vege-
tables such as we're 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
eve seen before. But to think Of
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
c%abbages, 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 100
acres. If adjoining land is wanted it

panies or from private individuals at

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMOR
Pithy Remarks from One Of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera.
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling its value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a nan who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning a laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go in%telligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it will be to live it down
when you are older.-Puck.

SECRET DRAWERS, GOLD FILLED.
Tarrytown Man Happens on a Fine
Collection Of Five Guinea Pieces.

Stories OF treasure trove, treasure
Islands, gold bugs and secret drawers
and panels are not altogether confined
to the imagination, as is proved by u
recent experience OF a resident of
T%arrytown.
Some years ago in the division of the
estate of q relative the only thing by
which the Tarrytown man was re-
membered was an unusually heavy
antique mahogany desk, which in due
time was transported to the house of
the recipient and then passed from ac-
tive notice. In a leisure moment a
few days & the Tarrytown man be-
gan to examine the gift and found
much to admire in its substantial con-
struction n fine hand carving. In
the course of his examination he came
across not the mere TRADITIONAL single
secret drawer, but several secret
drawers. What was still more to the
purpose, each drawer was filed to the
brim with English gold pieces OF the
largest denominations, and the mys.
terry of the great weight of the desk
was solved.
Nearly all the coins were of the val
Tie of five guineas, which gold piece,

innate, is equivalent to more than SIG

yer dollar. The most recent of the
gold pieces were of the period Of
George II. This king was represented
by the five guinea piece in consider
able numbers. Some of the pieces Of
this denomination of George ii.
showed the word Lima under the
bust on the diverse, which indicated
that they had been struck from gold
captured by English privateers from
Spanish vessels on their way home
from Lima, Peru. Under the bust Of
other five guinea pieces were the let
ters 'E. /. c." for the East India
company, which mark indicated that
the gold had beer sent to the English
mint by this company.
There were five guinea pieces of

ported from the district of Guinea in
West Africa, from which fact the
term guinea" is derived.
Good Queen Anne was also repre-.
sented by five guinea pieces. This es.
Unable lady reigned from 1902 to
1714, and the gold coins of 1903 show
the word "Vigo" under the queens
bust. This word was used to com
memorate the capture of several Span.
ish galleons by the combined English
and Dutch fleets in the latter part OF
1902 in Vigo bay, and the gold taken
upon this occasion was used in these
coins.
There were several of the large
gold coins of William III. The Oldest
of the coins found in the desk were
the handsome five guinea pieces OF
William and Mary, which showed on
the diverse the busts of,the king and
queen.
All of the coins had been circulated
but were still in very fine condition
and of h $50 large gold pieces con
tanned in the secret receptacles many
had an excess value on account OF
their interest to collectors.
