FAMOUS WOMAN GAMBLER.

Next to Madame Mustache, the
acknowledged queen Of American
women gamblers. WAS Lonna Paquita
who was born In Texas fifty years
ago. but early went into Mexico to
rule outlaws and COW boys. The little
Lonna WAS scarcely twelve years old
when she fell in with an old time
gambler named Qualetor, who taught
her every trick known to the gamb.
ler's art. She made her first appear.
ance In Paso del Norte She was
only a child and the rough gam blers
laughed at her. But they soon found
that they were no match for her and
that even her teacher. Qualetor. was
tenderfoot compared with the child.
With tho passing years Lonna
Paquita grew to be beautiful wom-
an. Her hair WAS a. black as night
and she had eyes that confounded

with her and q voice as sweet and
silvery as q bell. She was as hand

manipulate the cards with skill
that defied the watchfulnes Of the

thought 1t was merely luck that fol-
lowed her. but the luck kept up too
long. and the gamblers who knew a
few tricks themselves understood that

Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that ! reply tt
your request. Some years ago 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 a 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 % bushels tc
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. l hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
tuccoltb' Ncdiu NV DVli any "hSoS yOt
as we intend to keep one part for
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 100 acres. so
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 80
acres 'stubble. which went 30 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the bestr-s kind that can be
raised. We have, shipped three car
loads of them, and got, 53 cents per
blIshel Clean All our grain vas cut
in the last week of the month of
August before 'any'tfrost 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 feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
