GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
Toll-Gate Keeper Thought He Had Visit from His Satanic Majesty.

This is not the only age in which motor cars have created excitement and disturbance. In 1902 such appari- tions were few and far betWeen at present they are too frequent to at tract attention. MT. Joseph Hatton, in "Old Lamps and New" tells of the fright caused by one of Trevithicks S steam locomotives. made to run on unrailed roads in the early part of the last century.
 Now and then one of these eXtraor- dinary vehicles would be encountered, snorting and puffing on the highway. The countrymen regarded them as the evil one in disguise.
 One of the cars, coming to a toll gate, stopped for the gate to be opened. The toll-man came hurrying out He flung the gate open with trembling hands, and teeth which chattered audibly.
 The driver asked him how much toll there was to pay
 70, nothing, dear MT. Satan, noth- ing." hastily assured the man. "Go on as fast as you like; there's nothing to pay.'-Youth's Companion.

WESTERN CANADA CROPS
 CANNOT BE CHECKED.
OATS YIELDED 90 BUSHELS TO
 THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do minion Government Commissioner of Emigration speaks for itself It proves the story of the Agents of the Gov ernment that on the free homesteads offered by the Government it is pos sible to become comfortably well oH in a few years:
 Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907. Commissioner of Immigration,
 Winnipeg.
 Dear Sir:
 It is with pleasure that I reply to your request. Some years ago l took up a homestead for myself and also one for my son. The half section which we own is situated between Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining the Moose Jaw creek, is low level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush- els to the acre and 30 acres of sum- mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to the acre All the wheat we harvested this year is No hard. That means the best wheat that can be raised on theearth. We did not sell any wheat yet as we intend to keep one part for our own seed, and sell the other part to people who want frst-class seed, for there is no doubt if you SOW good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 5000 bushels Of frst-class oats out of 160 acres. so acres has been fall blowing which yielded 90 bushels per acre, and so acres stubble, which went 30 bushels to the acre. These oats are the best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car loads of them, and got 5 cents per bushel clear All our grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it.
 Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last
 For myself I feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions.
 am, dear sir,
 Yours truly,
 (Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner.

DO YOU KNOW
 WHAT WHITE LEAD iS?
It's Chief Use and a Method of Deter mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint material all over the world. It is made by corroding metallic lead into white powder, through exposing it to the fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic acid gas; this powder is then ground and mixed with linseed oil, making a thick paste, in which form it is packed and sold for painting purposes. The painter thins it down to the proper consistency for application by the ad- dition of more linseed oil
 The above refers, of course, to pure, genuine White Lead only. Adulterated and fake White Lead" of which there are many brands on the market, is generally some sort of composition containing only a percentage of white lead; sometimes no White Lead at all; in such stuff, barytes or ground rock, chalk, and similar cheap substances are used to make bulk and initiate the appearance of pure White Lead
 There is, however, a positive test by which the purity or impurity of White Lead may he proved or exposed be- fore painting with it.
 The blow-pIpe flame will reduce pure white lead to metallic lead. If supposed white lead be thus tested and it only partially reduces to lead, leaving residue, it is proof that something else was there besides white lead
 The National Lead Company guar antee all White Lead sold in packages bearing it's Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark to prove absolutely pure under this blow-pipe test. and that you may make the test yourself in your own home, they will send free upon re- quest blow-pipe and everything else necessary to make the test, together with valuable booklet on paint.
