agreed the boy.
Come along!' called Blake and the
youngsters, with their guns tucked
we'll 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 ont the boy and
girl in a 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 siowness 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
spare cartridge between her teeth.

Mark time!" cautioned George as
the keeper wheeled. The girls brown
legs responded. Then, as they went
on again, big covey rose. CouIson,
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 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 a box of candy in the balance,
kept their eyes fixed right ahead.
In the next field 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.

claimed Blake. Coulson couldn't say
anything; he was staring open

food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-

He sent glance full of irritation
at the young Hedleys, who, with their
backs 10 the hedge, stood waiting in

"And you, Kathleen-you don't

Blake shrugged his shoulders help

Pathetic Thought of Little Girl Who

Mary had for neighbOr a small play

The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back a glance at his
mother At that instant "A trolley car
sAept 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, d,while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their throats
and tears overflowing, Mary straight

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

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. Q, 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 a
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for a 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 29th, says:
"This winter up to January 20 was
nothing short of 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 great
start"
Amongst the reports of the yield
of last year the following extracts are
taken:
II. Howe, of Magrath, Alta. writ
ing on November. 1907. says: Il have
20 acres in crop, 80 acres of wheat and
seven acres of oats. My average yield
of oats was 80 bushels to the acre.
and of wheat 45 bushels. The value
to me was $50 per acre"
J. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
in November: Il had 60 acres in win
ter wheat, which went GO bushels to
the acre: oats averaged 80 bushels.
also had II tons OF hay worth $40
per ton. | 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 Magratb, had
1880 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 391a bushels 10 the
acre. The value Of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats,
s11.20 and barley, $2515.

FEWER WOMEN AT WORK.
Demand Declining in London Except
i'm 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.
CURED 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 which involved much
thought they were apt to fail, with o
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 RESPONSE
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 a high degree Of
accuracy.

yell out each time anything got up.
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 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
rose right under, the muzZle of Blake's
own gun one of them would rob him
of his shot before he could pull trig-
ger.
Nineteen for me-" nodded George
dogs work a patch.
"Scventeen-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 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, little
later on, Kit took snapshot across a
reed.bed at woodcock and bagged
it.
"And to think 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 a
single trigger, and the crack Of the
girls 20 almost emulated it.
But George was five birds ahead of
mis- 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 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! 1 simply smothered him."
objected George.
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 penknife. became similarly en-.
gagged.
There you are!" he cried, present
ly, exhibiting black speck. "No. c.
knew I'd got him!"
But his exultation was short-lived.
The next moment the girl held up CORY
fingers with pellet between them.
"No. my bird!" she exclaimed in
triumph.
"A double hit, by Jove!" cried
Blake. Il say--do you"--lool1ing from
one 20 the other-"do you shoot
much?"
"Oh, yes, piped Kit. Didn't father
tell you? We perform in public
