HIS WHEAT WENT 90 BUSHELS
TO THE ACRE

He Realized $1S per Acre from 1t,
While Oats Gave Him $17 an
Acre.
Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. IS, 1907.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says:
II have much pleasure in saying that
on my farm this year l had 500 acres
in wheat, and 12O acres in oats. My
wheat averaged about % bushels per
acre, and l had 200 acres cut before
the frost, which 1 sold at IS cents per
bushel, thus realizing on that wheat
SIS per acre, not counting cost of Irvine
seed and labor With regard to the
other 800 acres of wheat, it got touched
with frost, but is worth go cents per
bushel. 1t will net me $13 per acre
but l do not intend to sell it at that
price, as | can make more money by
feeding it to hogs.
my oats turned out about 80 bush
els to the acre, and at 80 cents per
bushel will give me SIT to the acre, not
counting seed, twine and labor.
ION account of the late spring, a
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost; but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize fair profit
on their farms even this year. We are
as usual up against a shortage OF cars
to get our grain removed"

PARTISAN POLITENESS.
Frenchman Will Say pardon" and
Crowd You Off the Pavement.

Among the myths about the Parisians
that have been fastened on the world at
large is the notion that they are the po-
litest people we have. That is a good
old one, but when you come to analyze
it, it's mythical qualities soon show. The
Parisians are converSationally polite.
They are the creates artists at the def
erential phrase and the obsequious bow.
Actually, the Partisan is not polite. He
is not even passably polite. He is dis
courteous and disagreeable. He walks
along the streets as if he owned them,
and refuses to turn out no matter what
the circumstances are. He bumps into
passersby who are used to the ordinary
street courtesy, swoops upon the best
seats in the public conveyances, will not
bulge an inch when your theater seats
are beyond him, crowds you i'll the res
taurants and cafes, ogles every woman
he meets, and is generally offensive. To
be sure, if he sees a chance to get any
thing away from you or to advance his
own interest at your expense, he says:
"Pardon''-and does what he has in
mind. His politeness consists of that
one word Pardon" SO far as his Ian
guage goes, he is courteous But it is all
conversation. = Samuel @. Blythe in
Eyerybody's

TREATMENT FOR vOLUBILITY.
DR.. Abernethy's Method of Putting Stop
to Patients Long Story.

''Abernethy was supposed to influence
people by brusqueness amounting to
absolute rudeness. 1t is related that one
day very voluble lady took her daugh-
ter, who was i'll, to see him.
(Which of you two wants to consult
meY' said Abernethy.
"My daughter" replied the elder
woman.
Abernethy then put a question to the
girl. Before she had a chance to reply
her mother began long story. Aber-
nethy told her to be quiet and repeated
his question to the girl. A second time
the woman began a story, and a second
time he told her to be quiet; then she
interrupted him a third time.
Put your tongue out" he said to the
mother.
but there's nothing the matter with
me-" she exclaimed.
Never mind, put your tongue out, )"
he commanded.
Thoroughly overawed, the woman
obeyed.
Now keep it out said Abernethy,
and he proceeded to examine the girl

How L Cured Sweeny and Ffstula.
al WANT to tell you how I saved
one of our horses that had fistula.
We had the horse doctor out and he
said it was so bad that he did not
think he could cure it, and did not
come again. Then we tried Sloan's
Eminent and it cured it up nicely.
zone day last spring was blowing
for a neighbor who had horse with
sweeny, and l told him about Sloan's
Iiniment and he had me get a bottle
for him, and it cured his horse all
right and he goes off now like colt.
ave had horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought it was
never going to be any good, but we
used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it
up nicely. I told another neighbor
about it and he said it was the best
Liniment he ever used.

Jim Picked Up the Trick.

The colored retainers and camp fol
lowers in the Federal army in the
time Of the unpleasantness with the
South were generally devoted votaries
of the goddess of chance, and were
skilled in getting on her blind side
One day Major Blank, a gallant officer
on the staff of General Custer when
he commanded the Michigan Cavalry
brigade, was showing a friend some
tricks with cards. Jim, his colored
servant, was apparently very busy
brushing up the quarters and setting
things to rights, paying no attention to
the exhibition. The next day the ma
jor saw his "boy'' counting over a
large roll of greenbacks "Why, Jim,'
said he, where did you get all that
money!" Jim, looking up with a grin
and a chuckle. replied: Use down to
