CUT OUT FOR A FINANcIER.
shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out
of WhistIlns Geese.

Two rogues passed poultry shop.
Seeing two geese hung up for sale one
of the rogues inserted in the gullet
of the goose a little bulb with whistle
attached. When the bulb was pressed
the whistle sounded.
Then, entering the store, he told the
proprietor that he had hanging out
side a very rare kind of whistling
goose. The proprietor at once sold
the goose for big sum to very
learned professor, who was astonished
to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed the
whistle in the gullet of the bird, the
proprietor asked him If he knew
where others like it could be OBJ
tanned.
We'll" said the crafty fellow. II
know of only one place, and If you will
pay me big price will get several
for you"
So the rogue brought dozen fowls,
in the gullet of each of which he
thrust a whistle, and was paid an ex-
orbitant price for them before the
hoax was discovered.

BRAIN POW WER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared
family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal
food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes;-
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer Of
Grape-Nuts as regular diet. for

and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
unable to eat breakfast I felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything l happened to find.
Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
when 1 read of Grape-Nuts began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.

feeling the need of sustained brain

HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought Of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor small play
mate, much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back glance at his
mother. At that instant trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though its own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in a childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their throats
and tears overfowing, Mary straight
ened up and sobbed:
Mother, when die hope it will be
of disease and not of damaged"

and the constant repetition of the
words had the effect of flurrying the
men.
The two small guns seemed at times
to be keeping up a fusillade. 1t was
not that game was more plentiful than
usual, but because nothing escaped the
youngsters keen eyes. They got on
at lightning speed. Even when bird

Nineteen for me-" nodded George
to his sister as they paused to let the
dogs work patch.
"Seventeen-only two behind" re-
turned the girl evenly, as she bowled
over the first rabbit that bolted.
Mind the dog" she admonished Blake,
who, seeing a movement in the patch,
had raised his gun.
"Awfully sorry" he stammered,
hardly knowing what he was saying.
Never saw anything like it in my
life," admitted Coulson, in an awe
struck tone to his host when, a little
later on, Kit took q snapshot across a
reed-bed at a woodcock and bagged
it.
And to think 1 asked them to be
CAREFUL" confessed Blake in dismay.
AS the morning wore on the two
men became completely demoralized.
They shot disgracefully, missing birds
and holding yards behind rabbits.
They began to be glad of the stray
shots that the youngsters had, per-
force, occasionally to leave them.
And all the while the boys 20 bore
kept going, as though it had but
single trigger, and the crack of the
girls 2S almost emulated it.
But George was five birds ahead of
his sister when they turned into the
last field, and Kit, as they walked it
up, felt her candy slipping away. In
the further angle they flushed a single
partridge, right ahead of them. Bang
went the small bores, and, as the bird
fell Kit, for the first time ran in.
My bird!" she screamed.
"Bosh! l simply smothered him!"
ODJeClSu GeOTSe.
Prove it," was the challenge.
Down the youngsters pumped with
the bird between them, while Blake
and Coulson came and stood over
them in wonder. Kit extracted the pin
that held her Tam O. Shanter, and be-
gan probing the bird with it. George,
with a penknife, became similarly en-
gagged.
There you are!" he cried, present
ly, exhibiting black speck NO. G.

But his exultation was short-lived.
The next moment the girl held up CORY

triumph.

Blake. Il say-do you"-looking from

FEWER WOMEN AT WORK.
Demand Declining in London Except
in the General Postoffice.

For lady clerks there seems to be
less demand than formerly" states
the report of the employment depart
ment of the London chamber of COM
merce dealing with the condition of
the clerical labor market during the
closing quarter of last year.
The manager of an important Lon
don business, on being asked the other
night whether he could give any expla-
nation of the declining popularity of
lady clerks noted by the chamber of
commerce stated that his experience
was that many lady clerks looked for
a great deal of consideration. They
expected to be paid as men and to be
treated as women. They disliked be-
ing taken to task when they did their
work indifferently and were too fond
of appealing to the chivalry of the
mere male.
Another business manager thought
that the standard of attainments re-
quired had risen Of recent years and
many of the lady clerks in the market
were not up to it. He said that he
found that women did routine work
well but showed little or no initiative
and when set any task which was com
plicated or wlRch involved much
thought they were apt to fail, with a
few brilliant exceptions.
On the other hand it is worth notice
that the general postoffice makes great
and increasing use of lady clerks for
work involving considerable responsi-
bility. Thus the savings bank depart
ment at West Kensington is largely
stated by women, and its heads have
repeatedly testified to their compe-
tence and efficiency in carrying out
duties which demand high degree of
accuracy.

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH EXPECTED
u. s. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY WESTERN
CANADA.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 8, 190S.-Pres-
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are Offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt OF
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January goth, says:
"This winter up to January 25 was
nothing short of a marvel, in fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc., were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was
so little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain a great
start"
Amongst the reports of the yield
of last year the following extracts are
taken:
H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta, writ
ing on November, 1917, says: Il nave
20 acres in crop, so acres of wheat and
seven acres of oats. My average yield
of oats was 35 bushels to the acre,
and of wheat As bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre"
]. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
in November: Il had 65 acres in win
ter wheat, which went 60 bushels to
the acre; oats averaged 80 bushels. l
also had IL tons of hay worth $40
per ton. I got 600 bushels of pota-
toes from three acres of land; got
eight tons per acre from five acres of
sugar beet"
]. F. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had
1,030 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 39k bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $31.6O; oats,
$11,20 and barley, $25.15.

"Oh, it's simply preposterous!" ex-
postulated Blake. And on the first,
too! l regard the first as a day sa-
cred to serious shooting-not an out
ing for babies!"
He sent a glance full of irritation
at the young Hedleys, who, with their
backs to the hedge, stood waiting in
the next field.

Coulson. This is one of his practical
Jokes, l suppose Why, the girls only

hected dolefully. Presently he went
through the gate and approached the
boy.
You'll be very careful, won't you,
George?" he said in a troubled voice.
"Oh, yes" said the boy cheerfully.
"And you, Kathleen-you don't
think it will tire you to carry a gun?'
"oh, no. Mr.. Blake; not at ALL"
Blake shrugged his shoulders help
iessly. He felt he could do no more,
and he left them muttering un1ind
things about their inconsiderate
father.

asked the boy when Blake was out of
hearing.

$50 it ought-with a 20 bore!"
"Give you five birds then"
Make it six, and I'm on"
"All right-for a box Of candy"
agreed the boy.
Come along!" called Blake, and the
youngsters, with their guns tucked
well under their shoulders and eyes
alert, went up the stubble good two
PAGES ahead of their elders.
Half way across the field a single
brace of old birds got up with a
whirr.
my bird!" sang out the boy and
girl in breath. Bang went their
guns and the birds fell, clean shot, to
their right barrels.
Coulson, next to the girl, saw them
drop while he was getting his gun to
his shoulder; and before he had ex-
planned his slowness to himself Kit
had stopped hare ten yards in front
of him.
He turned and stared at her. She
had already reloaded and was carrying
a spare cartridge between her teeth.
You won't do that aagin, my young
friend he glared, but to himself.
Mark time!" cautioned George as
the keeper wheeled. The girls brown
legs responded. Then, as they went
on again, big covey rose. Coulson,
who was not going to be caught nap
ping this time, got the leader but, be-
cause of his hurry, missed another
strong bird with his left. Blake, for
similar reasons, wasted two cartridges
on one bird. But the children waited
until the young ones rose and then
each got in deadly right and left.
Blake gave Coulson a look of aston
ishment. Coulson's look in response
said, Don't understand It" as plainly
as looks can speak. The boy and girl,
with box of candy in the balance,
kept their eyes fixed right ahead.
In the next field a small covey, going
fast down the wind, crossed the line
from Blake's end. Both he and Coul-
son shot behind the same bird Kit
knocked some feathers out of it and
George brought it down at 40 yards.
The rest flew wide.
