The plan to electrify the province OF On

pendous undertaking Of this character
ever projected. The article states:
The first contract with the commission

600 hp. the first supply to be delivered to
that city in December. 1903. Among other
cities that signed contracts are London,
Hamilton. ST. Thomas. Woodstock
Guelph, Berlin. Stratford. Preston. Gail,
and Ingersoll. Toronto will pay $3.50 per
horsepower per year and ST. Thomas S2s 90
per year. The prices the other cities will
pay range between these figures, accord
ing to distance from source OF supply and
amount OF power contracted for AS soon
as the lines feeding these cities are com

weeks ahead OF last year and a large

All of these things indicate that the

there will no doubt be an unprecedent-

HUMANE CATTLE SLAUGHTER


A news item from New York an
nounces that Hiram Percy Maxim, the
inventor OF the noiseless firearm, gave
his first public demonstration of II
wonderful weapon before the board OF
managers of the Society for Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals recently.
LevelinY an ordinary 32-caliber rifle.
remodeled according to his invented
device and loaded with ordinary am
munition the inventor took aim at two
city directories placed one In front OF
each other, pulled the trigger and
drove "a flatnosed bullet six inches
through the solid paper with hardly
enough noise to be heard % feet away
The explanation of the demonstration
given to the Society for the lprevcn-
ton OF Cruelty to Animals. the In
vcntor wils that his wonderful device
was pursuant to the urgent request for
the society that he furnish the organi-
cation with Il more humane weapon for
use In the abattoirs and the big meat
packing plants. They wanted "A gun
which could drive bullet into the
brain OF a steer with deadly results
and with not noise enough to brighten
all the other animals lined up in the
killing driveway.
No doubt this will be much more
efflcacious than the present haphazard

Canada,a Century.


That the nineteenth century belonged IL,
the United States and that the twentieth
would be Canada's has been the jub!lant
attitude Of the Canadians for 10 years and
more. Now the grain carrying trade of
New York is suffering from the competi-
ton of Montreal, with the result thai the
White Star line has withdrawn five of rs
freighters from the service at this port
Other lines have taken similar action.
Two and one-half cents can b.. saved on
each bushel by shipping by way OF Mon
treal and the grain trade will follow the
line of least resistance.
1t remains TO be seen what action can
be taken to bring this trade back to the
United States. The steamship officials
want reductions in railway charges 10
overcome the present advantages OF Mon
treal. This presupposes the willingness of
the shipping men to do their share Yet
If the natural advantages are with the
Canadian port. the effort to compete with
it by means of artificial stimulation Is
not likely to be successful In the long run.
Has Canada's century begun?

THE STUPID MAN
NEEDS A CLEVER WIFE
But ths Clever Man Can Get AIen,
Nicely With = Stupid Ono.

That n stupid man needs clever
Wife needs no discussion, says William
7. Stead. in the July Delineator The
stupider man Is. the cleterer ought
his wife to be. to make up for the stu
pidity OF the male partner in the men
age. A clever man can better afford to
face the struggle for existence with u
stupid wife than can a stupid man.
That is quite obvious. For. II clever
ness may be regarded as the intellec-
tual stock in trade with which the mar
ried couple start out to do business In
the world, the less capital that either
partner has, the more important 1t is
that the other should be we'll provided
with the Indispensable element neces-
sary for success in life. There IS, there
fore. some reason for recommending
that stupid men should marry clever
women and that stupid women should
marry clever men. in order to make
things even all around. On the other
hand, the precept. BE we not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers," may
be held to lay down to a general prin-
ciple capable OF being applied to the
question now under discussion. 1t Is
obviously desirable that two people
who are to live together all their lives
should be sufficiently near together In
intellectual attainment to have inter-
ests In common. and to be able to UNI
derstand each other when they are left
together In the endless tete-a-tete OF
mAtrimony

One morning two applicants appeared.

The farmer. after some hesitation and
after scanning the applicants with a
keen eye, chose the latter.

What Constitutes Happjness ?

Every man speaks of happiness as his
end of ends; he wishes to live well or 10
do we'll. which he considers TO be the same
as being happy. But men disagree
ceedingly in their opinions as To tina.
which constitutes happiness; nay, the
same man sometimes places it il. ole
thing. sometimes in another. "-Aristotle.
Which is the happier, think you-the
fellow who smiles when things go wrong
and lets 'em slide. or the fellow who
sweats when things go wrong and hustles
to right them?
The latter may experience more physical
and mental discomfort in the thick of the
battle, but he gets solid satisfaction
mixed with his clear conscience, when tho
blow" is over. which cooks up a kind of
concentrated happiness that happyso
lucky happiness simply knows nothing
about.
Give me the chap who takes personal
responsibility-who takes his work to
heart-makes 1t his work." says the man
who knows how to get the right ones to
mind his business for him.

SEES NOTHING BUT HIGH PRICES

From the Kansas City Drovers' Telegram.

any Kansas farmer will go broke in the

priced corn and very high priced cat
tie for the corn fed class. Mr.. Dugan
is a cattle feeder. farmer and grain
dealer. The situation" he said. is
just little different from any year 1
can recall. While fairly good average
corn crop was raised last year, there
seemed to be an unusually large de-
lnand for 1t, and we very we'll know
how 1t was bought up early and right
in the face OF a panic at high prices. At
a time when prices on all other farm
articles went down. corn prices Went
up. The result is. very little corn is
left. Now, in looking the present corn
prospects over. 1t would seem as II we
would not have more than two-thirds
crop at best. and we may fall below
that. Very wet weather which washed
out thousands Of acres of corn In low
lands could not be replanted in time
to make a crop. We can nank on high
priced corn and very high priced corn
