The Spell of the North.

Let the word be passed and the Journey
start;
Swing out into line the yelping pack.
Strong Is the wanderlust In my heart,
The load hangs easy upon my back.
1t matters not that the way is long:
The singing wind makes the fire smell
sweet.
A wolf-dog friend and a snatch Of song,
And crunch, crunch, crunch. Of mecca
sined feet.
Some old gray witch that ! cannot see
Has placed her charm in the storm and
snow,
The Great White Silence is calling me,
The Lon Tail beckons, and | must go.

How He Tested the Lift"

Washington Herald: This is a story
related by William r. briggs, Of Rich
mond, Va, at the National the other
night.
Several years & when the elevator
was first put in the capital at Rich
mond, an incident occurred showing
the sense Of humor of the then Cover
nor Fitz Lee. The general was of stout
build. and he wanted to see how the
machine would work. He was a close
friend OF Judge Samuel r. Witt. of
the Hastings court.
Judge Witt was holding court the
day the levator Mas completed. n
he was called to the telephone by low
ernor Lee.
sam said the governor, L want to
see you for a moment and want you
to come to the office at once
Certainly, governor said the judge,
always one Of the most accommodating
and obliging of public men.
by the way. Sam, the elevator is
finished and you "a come up to my
office without having to walk up the
steps
Judge Witt got back on the bench
md ordered a short recess of the court.
Then he hurried over to see the gov
ernor. He made known his presence,
and he was ushered into the governors
office.
"'Hello. Sam, said the governor.
Glad to see you. Come up on the ele-
vator?'
~ did, replied the judge.
That's all right. then" remarked
the governor. i am just going to din
ner. and / did not care to try that ele-
vator till / was certain II would hold
you. That Is all, Sam; thank YOU"

Great Wealth Acquired I'm Growing
Grain.
Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, W. ii. Eiiwanger, VINO
was formerly a resident OF Green Noun
tain, Iowa, says The climate in sum
mer Is ideal for growing grain. Long,
clear days Of sunshine, 40 bad storms.
We never need to guard against cy-
clones. l never saw a better climate
in my life. We made more money dur
ing the season of 1906 than any previ-
Gus five years in Central Iowa-one Of
the best districts in the State" But
Mr.. Ellwanger was a resident OF the
town, and II might be more interesting
to read what a farmer has to say about
Western Canada. From hundreds OF
letters. all filled with words OF praise,
%recountlng success in Western Canada,
there has been one selected. 1t is as
follows:
