GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
TolI-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-
lions were few and far between; at
present they are too frequent to at
tract attention. Mr.. Joseph Hatton, in
"Old Lamps and New" tells of the
fright caused by one Of Trevithick's
steam locomotives. made to run on
unrailed roads in the early part Of the
last century.
Now and then one of these extraor-
binary vehicles would be encountered,
snorting and putting on the highway.
The countrymen regarded them as the
evil one in disguise.
One of the cars, coming to q 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
chartered audibly.
The driver asked him how much toll
there was to pay.

Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that / reply To
your request. Some years ago l took
up 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 40 acres OF
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush.
els to the acre, and 80 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. Wedidnot sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part fol-
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed
for there is no doubt if you sow good
wheat you will harvest good wheat
We also threshed 5000 bushels Of
first-class oats out of 160 acres. 81
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 81
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats arc
the best kind that can bt
raised. We have shipped three cal
loads Of them, and got So cents pei
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month o.
August before any frost could toucf
it.
notwithstanding the fact that w
have had late spring, and that thu
weather conditions this year wer'
very adverse and unfavorable, We will
make more money out of our crol
this year than last.
For myself feel compelled to ga.
that Western Canada crops cannot b.
checked, even by unusual conditions

From every aged face beamed smiles
and chances of appreciative delight
when finally Miss Radford had boxed
her violin and Miss Lockwood had en-
cased her music.
II was supper time when the old
ladies' returned to the parlor, and as
at the sound of the gong they filed

wonted smiles lighted the passage and
the walls of the dining room echoed

faces had done before.

mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead Is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t 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 inseed 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

are many brands on the market, is

The Educated Man.

The most important part of educa-
ton comes from intercourse with pe0-
pie. From this side comes the educa-
tion in love and duty and service. The
actions of people stimulate imitation
and emulation. By these men grow in
power and skill. From observation of
the character Of people, men form ideals
of character for themselves and are
transformed thereby. Herein lies the
consummate educative power in Chris
tianity-the transforming power of the
divine man.
According to this new idea, educa-
tion is not merely receiving, but giving:
not learning alone, but doing. The ed
ucated man is open eyed and open
minded, quick to respond to influences
from without, learning from all his ex-
periences and growing in power as he
grows in knowledge. Charles Kings
ley said of his father that she pos
sessed every faculty but the faculty Of
using his faculties" He was not an
educated man, altho he was very
learned one.
Education is an individual matter.
No two men can be educated alike in
manner or degree. They respond to
different influences and grow In differ
ent ways. Ohe becomes educated by
way Of schools and colleges and life,
another by life alone. The measure of
g mans education is the measure Of
his use in the world Boston Globe.
