THE DESPIsED AILANTHUs.
Good for Lumber as Well as Shade
Its Spread in America.

Its Spread in America.
Among the very common trees, yet
almost totally unknown, is the much
despised, i'll smelling ailanthus. A
million dollars could not buy a board
in any lumber yard. The dealer, or
manufacturer of lumber, never saw it
on sale and would not recognize it if
seen. Yet it is a magnificent wood,
resembling white ash, and capable of
receiving a high polish.
The tree is a native Of the Molucca
islands, just south Of the equator,
some 4 degrees, and not far from Bor-
neo. Here it forms a very large for
est tree. It was brought from China
during the first decade Of the nine.
teenth century, and has gradually
spread over the United States, planted
for shade only.
The male trees are very offensive
while in blossom, but the female trees
have nc such odor. The trees have a
tropical appearance, spread by under
Ground roots, suckering so as to make
them a nuisance on the lawn.
The ailanthus has run wild in the
Cumberland mountains, groups of the
trees being quite frequently found
where apparently the birds have taken
the clusters of winged seeds for lining
their nests, some Of the seeds thus es.

sores appeared which changed to a

to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura

An Explanation the Woman New to
the Country Didn't Believe.
The woman was new to the country
and her host took great pains to ex-
plain to her whatever she didn't un-
derstand about the farm. He had lit
tie regard for the truth. this farmer;
he delighted to test her gullibility to
the utmost.
The cows seemed to interest her
more than any other domestic animal.
One of the COWS had lost her tail
somehow and this fact led the woman
to ask why 1t was.
That's the sour milk cow" the
farmer explained with a straight face.
We always cut the tail OF one COW
In the herd so as to get sour milk
fresh every day.
The woman looked her doubt.
It's perfectly true" the farmer in
sisted. "Yon e when the cows tail

the cows udder and the constant heat
sours the milk"
But the woman still doubted.

come REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think Of Western Canada.

A party Of editors from a number OF
cities and towns Of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West ST.. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
OF miles Of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
In their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as if
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
1t Is q revelation, a record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader character
ICES Western Canada as "a great coun.
try u~ndeveloped. The summer out
Ing" it says, was an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who we're on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket of the world. 1t
was a delightful outing through a
great country of wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
Government has revised it's land regu-
lations and it is now possible to Sc
cure 100 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops Of 1908 have been splen-
did. and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone. Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields Of thirty BUSH
els of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 600, 900 bush
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.

position of various countries as musi.

The congregation filed slowly out Of
the church and stood in groups in the
churchyard and in the little square
outside discussing the sad event.
Esther, in spite Of her mothers pro
tests, insisted on calling to see DR..

perate things and fling conventions to

she said, speaking rapidly, that MI.
Grayton's case is very serious. May

"Well-no-I will not go so far as
to say it is hopeless" he answered,
speaking with extreme deliberation.
You see, he has several things in his
favor. He is young; he has a mag
nificent constitution; he has lived a
healthy life; he has not been given
to the use of alcoholic drinks. On
the other hand, there is no denying
that the wound is a very dangerous
one. If he could have had assistance

strength he had left he exhausted in

The flm Of Mailer & Company was
neither collectively nor individually
acquainted with Mrs. Henry Van Ian
der. and set they knew as much about
her personal affairs as did that ma
tron herself. The truth is, Mrs. Van
Lander was a tradition with Mailer &
Company, which was impaired to
every new member Of the office force.
Rather strange. you will say, that a
corporation Of such magnitude should
concern itself about so humble a
creature-but the fact that they did
concern themselves about her goes
but to prove that even mercantile
house is not wholly without sentiment.
1t was back in the early seventies
that Benjamin Mailer conceived the
advisability Of sel.lng goods by mail,
and he, in association with three 9TH
er equally far-seeing men, formed the
company which was so soon to revo-
lutionize the world Of trade. Their
first catalogue was very modest, offer
ing to the public only such articles as
could be bought in well.regulated
dry-goods store. but year by year they
increased their stock, until in 1900 one
could buy from them anything from
an ash barrel to an automobile.
On their mailing-list were names
the owners OF which a drummer could
never find. and one of the first to re-
ceiye a Mailer catalogue was Peter
Thurston, an Indiana farmer. Peter
was a farmer in name only, and he
did not live up to his name. He was
