The CALL OF The SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FASH LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A etaff contributor of southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm OF many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. lie says: 1t Ia n we'll known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those msn who havo
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, flnanciers-have as n rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and 1t is TO such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does II 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 sky; 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, grinnlng in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent firan-
cial furry, which happily is now
/ passed. suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because OF their losses.
| Two or three took their own lives.
It is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, 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 banks 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 q
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments In
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re
sell to farmer friends. The agents o.
the Government of Canada located a
different points Throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acre.
each accessible to railways, markets
schools. churches, &c. These are val
liable lands. These agents will b'
pleased to give information to any de
sirous of securing, and will tell al
about the railway rates, &c.

COFFEE EYES.
II Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect OF slow daily pol
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result, is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
tected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert.
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form OF increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says
This gradual failure OF sight

very earnest quest for the cause.

fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while didn't believe that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, /

omy had merged into miserly parsi-
mony, especially was this the case
with Ebenezer.
Aunt 'Cinda's very soul hankered
for new carpet, and the old cord bed
steads with round posts nagged her
desire persistently. Uncle Eben grew
wrathful at the mere mention of her
wishes.
Them bedsteads hev' been good
enough fur 80 years. an they're good
enough now; you're jest bein' ct up

Two weeks later Uncle Eben moved

installed her in the house opposite the
home place-which Aunt 'Cinda was
to retain.

Maintaining His Dignity.

Even the elevator boy had to draw
the line somewhere, to prevent his
being made too common. A writer
in the New York Evening Post tells
of recent experience with one of the
fraternity.

out, tell him to wait. / shall be right

 Hartford. Sept. l5,-The New Haven county caucus tonight was lively af- fair due to the differences of opinions of David E. FitzGerald and Louis A. Fisk. In fact In thls caucus developed the only fight of the night of any im- portance. At the outset James II. Webb of New Haven was made chair man and D. w. Coleman of Cheshire, secretary, When the nominations for presidential eector were called for the names of Samuel l.. Bronson of New Haven. George Strobel of Water bury and Louis A. Fisk of Branford were presented but the latter two with drew. as there was no chance for them and Judge Bronson was accordingly nominated unanimously. Then came the question as to who would present his name to the convention. Corpora ton Counsel F. II. Rogers of New Haven and James II. Webb were nam ed, but the corporation counsel soon withdrew and Mir. Webb will have that honor when the convention meets again today.
 MT, Fitzgerald, after this business was disposed of, made motion that the delegation support Judge Robertson for governor. but Mir. Fisk said the del- egation should support former Cover nor Waller. Mir Fitzgerald said that the delegation should not support a man who had been unable to pursuade the members of his own family to vote democratic ticket and that New Ha- ven county should stand behind Judge Robertson. Mir. Fisk insisted that th, former governor should be supported by this delegation whereupon Dr. Fred Brothers moved that action be deferred until tomorrow morning when Mir Waller would be on hand. Mir. Fitx gerald opposed the motion 10 adjourn but 1t was carried and the meeting went over until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning when tho sentiment of tn, county delegates will be expressed.
