A certain prisoner landed III jail al

pretty well known. A few days after
his incarceration he wrote to IA friend
asking for monthly allowance OF ten
dollars to be continued during his

membering past favors, remittcd the
amount each month during a period
that covered two trials and the long
time intervening. One day it occurred
to him to inquire into the manner or
expending the allowance He sup
posed it was used to buy occasional
extra meals, a few cigars and newspa-

he asked for particulars. He found, to

DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK

A staff contributor of a southern
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: 1T is we'll known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful il life and who
have left their impress upon its neo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers-have as q rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come with re-
doubled persuasiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man of
affairs when the clouds Of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky3 when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason Or without
reason there arises before him the
| specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunf arms in threat
| ening gesticulation.
| The pitiable state into which some
cial furry, which happily is now
| passed. suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and a very few be-
came insane because Of their losses.
Two Or three took their own lives.
| 1t is when such times come that the
statesman, the great fnancier, and
| the man of affairs becomes tired Of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
| turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
| There are hundreds of cases
! throughout the United States of those
who have money in the barks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
| investment is better or safer. Take,
| for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
| SIS per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
| two months large investments ir
| these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farmin 3
| purposes of their own. Others to re-
sell to farmer friends. The agents Of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
| ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants Of 100 acres
each accessible to railways, markets,
schools, churches, &C. These are val
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates, &C.
