SILHOUETTES OF WESTERN
CANADA.

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out Of
the G. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land the bumper crop,
the system of summer following pur-
sued in the semi-arid districts, were
all discussed, and then, with sort Of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore" Git is curious how these mid
Western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it was
"Can'dyD, "but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa, quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been
going on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and ev-
cry farm that's offered is snapped up.
In Saskatchewan we have just as good
land that cost us $11 and $12, so that
man can take up five or six times as
vestment of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have to
leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes The fami-
lies that come to Canada are kept to-
gether and the families that buy the
farms they leave are kept together,
too. There won't be any slackening
of the rush, either, for they still raise
big families back in Iowa."
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending step that meant
new flag, new allegiance, new land,
and new associates. To abandon "Old
Glory and the Declaration of hide
pendence for a good thing in cheap
land would hardly be playing the
game, but to go out into Saskatche-
wan to keep the family together" was
another and quite higher motive
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek In
the history of America? 1t is enough to
know what the sons of the frontiers

WINS VERDICT FOR
FIVE DOLLARS IN
"L0NG-F0UGHT SUIT
Man Against Whom Finding Is
Returned Has Died Since
Case Began.

With the return of a verdict for the
unusual sum of s.. a suit that has been
pending in the local courts for years, SO
long. in fact, hat one of the principals
has died, was settled today, at least
so far as the lower court is concerned.
Judge Davis, in the Circuit Court, made
the return in the suit of Charles /.
BonneIl against John L. Meeker.
Mr.. Bonnell is the owner of the build
ing bearing his name at 196-19S Market
street. and brought suit against Meek
CT, whose business during his lifetime,
at l92 Market street, which IS still
conducted there by his successors, was
that OF manufacturing monuments and
cutting stone, on the ground that on
March 70. 1908. land on other days be-
tween that date and the commencement
of the suit, which was May 1. 1909,
INSTRUCTED the said way by wood, stone,
ashes and the like, and so interfered
with the exercise of the plaintiffs
rights
The said way referred to was an
alleyway to and from Mechanic street
TO the property in Market street. and
the court now decides that Meeker had
no right TO so obstruct it.
Another claim was made that the
distractions also consisted of "perma-
nent structures and of large posts set
in the ground" While a third count de-
clared that the value of the LAND had
been deprecated because of Meeker's
alleged obstruction of the alley.
Judge Adams. in his conclusions to-
daY. said that the plaintiff. under the
proof. clearly had the right of wa to
tho alley. that the defendant had not
proved a right superior to the plaintiff
and that the proof did not sustain one
OF the pleas alleging that prior to March
l., 1863. the plaintiff had no right to use
the alleyway, except by some leave
and license OF the defendant"

BELL-BOY is ACCUSED OF
R0BBING HOTEL GUESTS.
Police Say Youths Theits Will
Reach $500,

Pleading guilty in the First Criminal
Court, today, to the theft of a silk
gown valued at s75. Charles Chicchino,
10 years old, of 524 Market street, was
held in $500 bail to await the action
of the grand jury on a charge of grand
larceny preferred by Charles J.. Coons,
manager of the Continental Hotel,
where Chicehino, who also gives his
name as Chickering, was employed.
Many complaints have been made from
time to time by guests Of the hotel
who have missed articles from their
rooms. The hotel management made
every effort to discover the culprit, and
fnslly enlisted the aid of the police.
Sergeants Meehan and Donovan, of the
detective bureau, were detailed on the
case, and arrested Chicchino on the
charge last night.
According to the detectives, the lad
has made a full confession to them.
and has also admitted having taken
other property than hat he is specif-
ically accused of stealing. The young
man was known TO the hotel patrons
as n most obliging bellboy. and his
Willingness to be of service made him
a great ~favoritc.
The police say that Ghicchino, besides
abstracting wallets from the guests
whom he was helping prepare for bed,
also went through the trunks of guests
who were absent from their rooms.
The boys companions say that Chic
chino was a free spender and hat they
eften wondered how he made such
sums OF money as he often had in his
possession. The detectives gay that
they have recovered 1861 worth of loot,
alleged to have been taken by Chic
chino ard that the total value of the
goods stolen win amount to $500.

MANY MOTHERS
AIDED BY NEW
PENSION SCHEME
Lack OF Funds, However, Hats
Charity Inspired by Former
President Roosevelt.

Following out the suggestion made
by former President Theodore Roose<
welt at the convention called by him to
consider the welfare of dependent chill
dren, the Bureau of Associated Chari-
ties mas put in operation in Newark a
plan Tor pensioning mothers who in
some way have been left without suf-
ncient support for themselves and their
children. a committee of the board of
directors, consisting of George W.
Jagie, Franklin Conklin, Lathrop An
derson, Henry {. Hines and Franklin
+. Mayo, is now administering a fund
tor this purpose.
The plan represents a new departure
in the administrator Of charity, and
obviates> many of the unpleasant fea-
lures for the recipient of the charity.
1t is proposed to select special cases
OF self-respecting and worthy mothers
who are maintaining good homes and
properly caring for their children and
endeavor 10 raise for them an adequate
amount which shall be given to them
weekly for a period of Il year at a
time. To obviate much encouragement
that has come to struggling mothers
as the result of Intermittent giving, it
is planned TO assure such a mother
that she will receive a stated amount
for d period of a year, 50 long as the
conditions under which that assurance
is given remain, and SO long as she
does her duty by her home and her
children. The amount of pension will
be fixed on the basis of the number of
children, $3.50 a week being allowed for
A,ai, Z,hifJ $50 = Fz.,a .i,;ll,n,- ,-y 81
a week where there are more than
four. This leaves . margin which will
necessitate the mothers working for
perhaps two days in q week.
In several cases the plan has beer
already applied so far as funds per
mitted, and has proved itself a worthy
one. In every case the pensioned moth.
er has been reached by Il roundabout
method.
The first case aided was that of Z
mother on the verge of breakdown
from the strain of supporting her foul
children. She had been deserted foi
four years. When the attention of ths
bureau was drawn to the case, az
earnest attempt vas made to locate
the husband, but TO nc avail. Five
dollars a week was then given the fam
lily. and. together with the few dollars
that the onla is able to earn fol
herself. they have gotten along
eXcellently for the past ten months
during which time they have beer
given the pension.
The results are shown in the renewed
health of the mother, the continued self.
respect that through the p~ension-fun6
s&eme has been preserved, and the
happiness of the childrem Six cases o
like nature are now being aided by The
bureau.
One of the many cases which for lacl
of funds the bureau is not now able Il
aid by a pension, is that of an American
woman, mother of four children, who /
running her health by overwork. Tit
case is exceptional. and Is IN of tn,
most urgent on the hands nf the bureau

BANK LOSES SUIT IN
CHECK=FORGING CASE.
TspeeIal to the Nera.k s.ar.1

TRENTON, Dec. 2t.-Justice Trench
ard has fled in the Supreme Court an
opinion deciding against the Union
National Bank, of Atlantic City. on its
appeal from the judgment of the dis
friet court of Atlantic City in favor of
John Pratt in his suit to recover s120.7 II
on a check. the endorsement which was
forged in Philadelphia.
Justice Trenchard holds that the act
of 1908 providing that banks shall not
be held liable for forgeries unless noti-
fed within one year, is not retroactive
and does not apply in this case.
