I'VE passed many icebergs coming
home from Europe" said a Philadel-
phian, and on one of them q garden
bloomed. 1t was a beautiful sight. The
great berg shone like an enormous
emerald in the sun, and in one level
recess, fenced in by pale green peaks,
a yellow garden cleaned. The captain
said that iceberg gardens are not I'M
common. Moss, 1t seems, is brought
on to the bergs by animals feet. The
moss grows, 1t decays, it forms a soil
for the pollen of buttercups and dande-
lions that is blown through the air dur-
ingsthe brief arctic summer. 500 the
incredible spectacle presents itself Of a
great, cold berg adrift in the sale sea
with yellow lowers springing from the
hard, cold ice."

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE
sofa EDITORS.

What They Think of Western
canada.
A party of editors from a number
of cities and towns Of Minnesota re-
Gently made a tour of Western Canada,
and having returned to their homes
they are now telling in their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion Of the Min
nesota editors from winnipeg to the
Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring
to what has happened in the interval
the writer says: Thousands Of miles
of new railway lines have been built,
and the development Of the country
has made marvellous strides. Millions
of acres, then lying in their wild and
untouched state, have since been trans
ferred into grain fields. Towns have
sprung up as If by the wand Of q
magician, and their development is now
In full progress. 1t Is a revelation, n
record of conquest by settlement that
Is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader characterizes
Western Canada as "a great country
~undeveloped. The summer outing it
says, was an eye-opener to every mem
Der Of the party, even those who were
or the excursion through Western Can
ada ten years ago, over considerable
Of the territory covered this year, being
amazed at the progress and advance
ment made in that short space of time.
The time will come when Western Can
ada will be the bread basket Of the
world. 1t was a delightful outing
through a great country of wonderful
possibilities and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
government has revised its land regula-
tons and it Is now possible to secure
100 acres Of wheat land at So an acre
in addition to the 100 acres that may
be homesteaded.
The crops Of 1908 have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan, there
are reported yields of thirty bushels of
spring wheat to the acre, while the
average is about twenty bushels. The
quantity of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 800, 900 bushels.
Information regarding free lands and
transportation will be freely given oJ
the Canadian government agents.

Gets $1,000 interest on $50.

From the New York Herald.
The happiest man in New York to-
day is Adam Brede. chef in a lunch
room, Over 20 years ago Brede de-
posted $50 in the Seaman's bank for
savings. With a friend he attended a
festival that night, and when he left
the hall he found that both his friend
and his bank book had disappeared.
Recently he encountered his friend,
who greeted him effusively, and said:
Here is that bank book, Adam. 1t
has hurt my conscience for 20 years,
but 1t vas the means Of saving my
life. After leaving New York I went to
Albany. From there I drifted out to
San Francisco, where I started a fruit
business. 1 prospered, and at the end
of IS years was worth about $50, 600.
1 arrived here last Sunday, and have
been looking for you ever since"
He hen handed over the bank book
and $1,000 for interest.

Ju,t IN. Kind He Wanted.

A lecturer was touring through the
country recently and delivered an ad-
dress before an audience in a country
schoolhouse.
In the course Of his remarks he re-
viewed the agricultural prospects of the
country and as an Illustration told a
story of q poor farmer who had died,
leaving to his wife the farm heavil
mortgaged. He said that the widow
set to work with a will and succeeded
upon one years wheat crop In paying
off the entire mortgage.
When he had completed his lecture
the gentleman shook hands and greet
ed the members Of his audience. One
middle aged nan finally approached
him and began:
II say, mister, you told a story bout
the widow raising a mortgage on one
years crop?"
Eyes, my friend, that was a true
story. 1t happened only W years
ago"
"well, sir, could you tell me who
that widow is? She's just the kind OF
oma I've been looking for all the
time"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that IL
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iniamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is ipfiamed you have q rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness IL the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,

senator from Alabama, is an ardent
agriculturist. One day, after retiring
from the governorship and returning
I O his home in Birmingham, he donned
his overalls and went to work in the
garden.
A society lady, a newcomer, entered
the yard to call on Mrs. Johnston. Her
ring at the door not being answered,
she walked into the garden.
How long have you worked for the
Johnstons?" she inquired of the man
she found there.
"A good many years, madam"
DO they pay o well?"
About all / get out of 1t Is my

she said. "Tll do that and pay you

A Kindly Misfortune.
From the Denver Post.

A young man who works in a Denver
bank Endorsed a check for 500 for a
friend about two months ago. Later
the check came back protested and the
young bank employe had to make the
amount good. He IA very much bro

WELL" he said to his wife, "I'n have
to make up that 500. 1 won't smoke
another cigar until the amount / would
have spent for tobacco equals the
amount I have lost in this transaction"
He cut smoking out entirely. The 9TH
err day the father of his friend paid the
500. Now the young bank employee
and his wife are happy. He has the
500, he's ahead about $40 on cigar
money, and he has NJ desire to use to-
