Making It Clear.
From Harper,s Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
A college professor in company with
his son, was enjoying a walk in the
country, when he met an old farmer
1t had been a very wet season, and
versation in a way that would prove
interesting to the farmer, remarked:
There has been a rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat embar-
raised, and the professors son, who
used a different v~ernacular, though he
was a student in the college to which
his father was attached, attempted to
straighten out the matter. Drawing
the farmer to one side, he said in a
superior way:
THE governor means that we've been
having a hell of a lot of RAIN"

NEARLY 100000 NEW ARRIVALS
IN CANADA IN 1907.

Now that 1t is known that In the
year just closed nearly sixty thousand
from the United States declared their
intention of making their homes IN
Canada, it might not be out OF place
to search for some reasons that would
bring this about. These people are but.
following the example Of the ffty-hve
or sixty thousand who did the same
thing the year previous and an almost
equal number who the year before that
but followed the example Of the thou
sands of the year preceding. An ex-
cellent climate, certain and positive
crops of grain OF all kinds, good mar
kets for their produce. land-and good
land, too-at low prices, easy terms OF
payment (not forgetting the 16O acres
Of land given free by the government,
particulars Of which the Canadian Gov
eminent Agent, whose name appears
elsewhere, will tell you about), and
then the splendid social conditions. The
situation is pretty we'll sized up by a
writer in one of the magazines. Quot
ing from this article we find this:
"Those of us who made good In the
States" INTERCEPTED another settler as
II to continue the story of his neighbor,
have had 1t easy from the start; a
little money Is a mighty good thing on
coming into a new country. But those
who make an entry, or even buy lands
at low rates, are able to square things
in two or three seasons crops. There
are hardships in building shanties and
then, with increasing prosperity, get
ting things into shape for better homes.
But affairs go much as in the States.
We have the largest liberty In the
world; there is more home rule in the
of the republic. Taxes are light and
with only a few million people west of
| Winnipeg we don't get in each others
way. Ones friends over the line prob
ably thought we would not live through
the winter; and while 1t Is cold, real
cold, it is free from the moisture e
perienced in the East. Schools are
good as encouraged by the government
the enterprising American promoter
and Yankee drummer see to it that we
take notice of the latest improvements
and best agricultural machinery. AL
together we are as near to affairs as
we would be on our own farms in the
States. Winnipeg bears the same rela-
ton to us as Chicago did at home; and
Edmonton with the surrounding region
advances as Omaha did in the days
when we were as young as the boys
yonder. We get together much as they
did in the oranges owe the border; the
government has established experiment
tai schools of agriculture, and progress
in every line Is stimulated. This is a
great region for grazing" we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing, land then
with building elevators Of wheat at 81
a bushel, many Of us find time to 60
over to the live stock exhibition in Chi,
cago or visit old friends during the
course Of the winter. Every man Is
taken for what he is worth, or for what
he can raise and In this good air and
on this fertile soil we intend to show
our old friends that we are made of the
right stuff-that we are chips of the
old block who built up the American
West"

How They stand.

1 In a rather listless game at times rendered interesting by some fast plays the Pine Knots and the Sham rocks tied yesterday afternoon. Bat ting honors were even, each team securing seven safe hits. Pine Bluff had an off day in fielding and six er- srors were chalked against the local l@boys, Hut and Ware being the prin- Ncipal offenders. The feature of the %game was the base running of Ollie, yths fast center fielder annexing four taStolen bags. Rube Walters was on Mthe firing line for the locals, while Sdarris dished out the benders for the AsiSltOrs and seemed to have a choice 8collection of puzzlers, as nine Berry aites famed the air. Ollie led off in $the first inning by circling the bases Npn a wild throw by Second Baseman &Wilhelm. In the second the Sham Focks tied the score with "a two bag @ger by ParrOtt, a single by Brown and &Hutt's error. Pine Bluff again took Ehe lead in the third when with one put Ollie draws free pass, goes to second on TaylOr's single and scores pn Wares out, second to first.

Both Mrs. Pickett and her father Frank Gregson. were arrested before they reached their home and lodged in jail The wife acknowledged the shootin2
 As nearly as can be learned the shooting was the result of a family feud of long duarti on.
 Arch Pickett the dead man, and his wife's family lave been having trou- ble for some time. Yesterday, it is said, Frank Gregson. 70 years of age father of Mrs Pickett, came to town with the intention of taking his daugh- ter back to her home His call result ed in family scrap, in which Gregson and his daughter were on one side and Pickett on the other.
 It is said that during the affray Pickett struck Gregson with a rock and the latter started after him. After a chase through the neiehborhood the fleeing men turned toward the house :.1- l., home. when his wife stepped to the door. and, with her husbands 22-cali- Der revolver, fired a shot which struck him in the heart The dying man ran about 10 feet toward his wife and fell.
 The shooting was not witnessed by anyone aside from the participants in the shooting, but it is said by neigh
 bors that Pickett, after he had fallen
 to the ground. pointed his finger to-
 ward his wife and cried:
 Little girl, you have done for me. :
 Woman Flees With Father. Immediately after the shooting Mrs.
 Pickett and her father started in the | latter's runabout for the Gregson home, six miles north of Jonesboro. ] They were overtaken by officers before they had reached the home and placed under arrest. Neither o1fe.eG resist- ancc and they were Brought to tai, city and lodged in jail.
 1 Suspicion at first attached i0 the 1 father-in-laW, but Mrs. Pickett ac- knOWledged that she had fired ;i' shot and gave as her reason that her hus- band had been mean to her on many occasions.
 Both families are well known in Jonesboro and vicinity. Gregson is the father of John Gregson, a member of the firm of Gregson, Alman & Brooks. and is well known in Sunday school work in Arkansas.
 Frank Gregson, the father, is a well known and wealthy farmer. It is believed that Gregson will be released from jail, but Mrs. Pickett will no doubt be held to answer for the shooting, since there seems no longer any doubt that she fired the shot.
