THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A staff 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. He says: ''It is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those man who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, fnanciers-have as rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it 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, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now
| passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and a very few be-
came insane because of their losses.
| Two or three took their own lives.
1t is when such times come that the
statesman, the great fnancier, 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 a
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 o1
the Government of Canada located a
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there art
free homestead grants of 160 acre!

about the railway rates, &C.
Maintaining His Dignity.
Even the elevator boy had to dray
the line somewhere, to prevent hi
being made too common. A write
in the New York Evening Post tell
of a recent experience with one of tn
fraternity.

Hearn as a Creative Artist.

Hearn's creative faculty began where
creation is commonly held to end, with
the material given. or the creative
gift in the sense in which the phrase
is applied to the poet he had not par
ticle. He was not a maker, but a
shaper Dr. Gould puts the matter
bluntly when he says. He had 20
original thing to say, for he was en-
tirely without creative power and had
always to borrow theme and plot"
And again: Clearly and patiently II
was a mind without creative ability,
spring or the desire for 1t. 1t was a
mind improcreant by inheritance and
by education. by necessity and by
training. by poverty internal and ex-
ternal." The truth in these words be
comes evident when one recalls the
failure as fiction Of every one of
Hearn's attempts In this field and the
fact that his greatest successes were
won in reclothing the ideas of other
men.-Forum.

HUNTING WILD HORSES.
How Brumbies ia New South Wales
Are Trapped and Broken.

Are Trapped and Broken.
Hunting "brumbies.' as the wild
horses are called there, is a favorite
sport in New South Wales. Districts
like the Clarence and Stephens and
Manning river watershed are still the
home of numerous droves of brum-
bies, and hunting them is declared to
be a very exhilarating pastime. The
first step taken is to stake out corral
and make all secure except narrow
entrance. which can subsequently be
gated. On either side Of the entrance
and projecting from it funnelwise a
"booby fence" is prepared.
To the simple minded brumby it
presumably looks like stockade, and
pieces of fiuttering cotton make it look
impregnable. When this is ready. the
young bloods, well mounted. gallop
out and round up the wild horses,
driving them with shouts and much
loud swapping of stock whips toward
the mouth of the funnel
In a group of brumbies there is al
ways a leader, and when once the
hunters have got the leader heading
for the corral they are pretty certain
of the rest of the drove. The tiutter-
ing cotton rags of the sham fence are
sufficient to deter the brumbies from
breaking through the flimsy barriers,
and in less time than it takes to tell
the wild horses are safely corralled
and the big gate shut on them.
Then they are left for four and
twenty hours without food and water
to reflect on the situation. and after
: that they can be broken in withou,
much difficulty.-London Standard.

it is learned that Souslin is the only
man known to have survived a broken
neck. 1t was October 23, 1906 when
SOuslin was at work on the cash reg
lister plant at Dayton. A plank fell
and struck him edgewise across the
neck. The neck was broken. Physi-
clans said he could not live at first.
then determined to undertake an eX-
pertinent. A leather jacket was made
to enclose the shoulders and chest of
Souslin. To this was attached be-
tween the shoulder blades steel rod.
To this rod is fastened a sort of sling
which fits beneath Souslin's chin and
SUPP rts his head in a sort of ham,
mock, SO that the weight does not
re,t on the spinal column. Souslin
walks about the city slowly and with
the aid of cane. He is the only man
known to have survived broken
neck and been able TO walk and move
about of his own will afterward

Gives Thos. R. Marshall Ter

in Music Hall here last night. issued q

The governor read a bill he prepared
for repeal of the county local option

ten days to consider it. At the end of
the ten days | want him to say as an
honest man, worthy of the suffrages of
free people; will he sign it or will he
veto it? 1t is such brief bill that he
ought to be able to make up his mind
in less than ten days.
II want him to say continued the
governor, with increasing warmth
what he would do with that particular
bill if it should pass the legislature and
come to his desk for action. Would he
sign it or would he veto it? Let him
say yes or no. Let him no longer hide
behind the subterfuge of a coward"
The governor scored the Lieber-Fair-
banks brewer lobby numerically. He
declared that Albert Lieber, a we'll
known Indianapolis brewer, called
years ago and served notice on him
that if the Moore temperance law was
enacted he would see that legislature
was elected that would repeal it. Liebel
and his forces, tried to defeat county
local option, but failed.
