pretty we'll sized up by writer in one

jected another settler as if to con-
tinue the story of his neighbor, have
had it easy from the start; a little
money is a mighty good thing on COM
ing into a new country. But those
who make an entry or even buy lands
at low rates, are able to square things
in two or three seasons crops. There
are hardships in building shanties,
and then with increasing prosperity
getting things into shape for better
homes. But affairs go much as in the
States. We have the largest liberty in
the world; there is more home rule IN
the Provinces than in the several
states of the Republic. Taxes are
light and with only a few million peo-

each others way Ones friends over

live through the winter; and while it
is cold, real cold, it is free from the
moisture experienced in the east.

the latest improvements and best agri-
cultural machinery. Altogether we are
as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni-
peg bears the same relation to us as
Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.
We get together much as they did in
the oranges over the border; the gov
eminent has established experimental
schools Of agriculture. and progress in
every line is stimulated. This is
great region for grazing" we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing, land then

one dollar a bushel, many of us find
time to go over to the live stock ex-

Every man is taken for what he is
worth or for what he can raise; and
in this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff
that we are chips of the old block

Little Noise in Berlin.

Berlin is said to be the most quiet
city in Europe. Railway engines are
not allowed to blow their whistles
within the city limits. There is no
loud bawling of hucksters, and a man
whose wagon gearing is loose and rat.
Ting is subject to a fine. The courts
have large discretion as to fines for
noise.making. Strangest of all, piano.
playing is regulated in Berlin. Be.
fore certain hour in the day and
after a certain hour in the night the
piano must be silent in that musical
city. Even during the playing hours
a fine is imposed for mere pounding
on the piano.

Ebenezer Crossman and his wife

"Ye don't try! Jest look at this

He arose from the table, leaving his
breakfast untasted. and throwing his
chair viciously across the room left

Aunt 'Cinda looked after him with
troubled eyes. Il don't know what's
got into Eben lately-ever since
M'lindy came back" she said with a
sigh.
When Uncle Eben came in to dinner
he had in no wise regained his good
humor.

sick of that kind of fodder! If things

"Ye better trot right back, Eben
Crossman; l raised them chickens to
buy me new dress; amt had moth

won't hev' 'em ct, so there!"
From the time of her marriage Aunt
'Cinda had been obliged to practice
the most rigid economy, az their only
capital had been health. hope and
willing hands. Little by little they
paid for their farm, and in the same
way they had accumulated a compe-
tency, but the habit Of persistent econ.

caused by eating rich food such as

leather boot story. 1t seems that
every six months each sewer man Of
Paris receives pair OF heavy boots
At the end of the period thess articles
are worthless as far as the original
purpose is concerned. but they have
actually increased in value. The old

it is said, as the conditions under
which they have been used make the
leather peculiarly adapted for con-

with Ebenezer.
Aunt 'Cinda's very soul hankered
for new carpet. and the old cord bed

wrathful at the mere mention of her
wishes.
Them bedsteads hev' been good

said she.
Two weeks later Uncle Eben moved
his belongings to Melinda's. He had
installed her in the house opposite the
home place-which Aunt 'Cinda was

II wish't the house was a mile off, -
muttered Aunt 'Cinda, her old voice
thick with tears.
"'Cinda shan't hev' it to say that

remarked Uncle Eben in a tremulous

For the first month there was no
friction, but after he made deed, Civ.

feet on an opposite chair, as he had

would sarcastically remark: It's

he filled his old cob pipe for a com
forting smoke: "Oh goodness! That

fire with his stubby fore finger and
silently leave the room.

MASS CONVENTION
 SATURDAY NIGHT
PEOPLE OF NEW DECATUR WILL NOMINATE CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR AND OTHER OFFICIALS. PAYNE MAY BE IN THE RACE.

Decatur August 26-(Special.)- New Decatur city council held special meet ing last night and named Saturday night. August 29, as the date for holding mass convention of the citizens for the purpose of nominating candidates for mayor and other city officials, including five alder men.
 Edwin c. Payne is being prominently spoken of as a possible nominee for mayor He served the city of New De- catur as mayor some time ago. Others spoken of as possible candidates are Ten his Tidwell, Capt. Dan Walden, Joe Frahn and the present mayor, Samuel Blackwell.
 New Decatur is divided into four wards and there have been two aldermen from each of these wards making eight in all. The last United States census gave New Decatur a population of 4437, but since that time it has grown wonderfully, and the city now claims 10000 The city has failed to have a census taken recently, and according to the new code, on this account the wards will be abolished and the city can have but five aldermen. Under the old law the city clerk was elected by the people, but under the new code he is elected by the council. Under the old law, likewise, the marshal was lected by the people, but under the new Ncode he can either be elected by the peo- pie or by the council At the meeting of the council last night an ordinance was passed making the marshal elective by the people.
