VERDICT FOR MRS. REDDINGTON IN
 HER SUIT
Woman Who Agreed Not to Contest Gill.
 man Will Gets Damages.

New York. April 15.-A verdict for F,100 has been awarded to Mrs. Caro- line G. Reddington by jury in the Supreme court in Brooklyn in her suit to corhpel George Hartford of Orange, N- J., to live up to the terms or a eontrTct made with her on July D. Iso5,
 Aich he Agreed to pay her $s0,ooo
 Interest, in ten yearly instruments,
 would allow the estate Of her
 George F. Gilman, of Black
 near Bridgeport, Conn.,, to be
 listered without opposing 1t De-
 the Surrogate in Manhattan. Be-
 his death Gilman had been asso- Ld with Hartford in the Great Att ic and Pacific Tea Company, ana
 heirs, Mrs. Reddfngton among h, had signed a paper agreeing to ke administration.
 In testifying Mrs. Reddington said that she had gone to Hartford after considering the matter and told him that she intended to withdraw her signature and begin a contest She said that he then offered her the S60,- 900 if she would submit to the terms of the first agreement but that he paid only one instalp1ent and refused to pay more.
 The defendant said that he had made the agreement while suffering from nervous proStration and that Mrs. Reddington had misrepresented the facts when she came to him.

Not to Be Fooled.

A resident of . New England town who was noted for his great kindness to animals viewed the first horse cars with dismay. "It's sheer cruelty, that's what it is," he insisted, and the plea of convenience or necessity had no in- fuence upon him.
 "Td walk to Boston and back before I'd add a pounds weight to what those poor creatures have to drag" he de- clared, and no persuasion could induce him to ride in q street car dragged by overworked, tired horses. When cleo tricity was applied and the cars went smoothly along without the horses, his son said:
 ''Now, father, you can ride on the street cars without worrying about horses You can go into Boston at your ease now.'
 James," said the old man, "you al- ways rush at conclusions. You den't study into things as do. Don't I read in the papers about every car having to have so much horsepower? And don't I know well enough what that fmeans?' And the old gentleman sigh ed. ''It simply means, my son, that the poor horses are being worked just as hard and just as many hours, only we don't see lem.
 ''Those power houses could tell tales, I reckon. Mo- I've no more use for street cars now than I ever had, and for the same reason.'-Youth's Com panion.

Barber's Hair Cut.

"wished had time to go out and get my hair cut" remarked a barber as he removed part of the father from the customers lips with his second finger.
 "Time to go out and get it cut?'' re- peated the man in the chair, with the emphasis on Nout." "Are you like the man that won't eat in his own restau rant? Aren't you willing to trust one of your own men to cut your hair?'
 ooh, I'd trust them, all right!" said the barber. "It isn't that, but you hardly ever see a barber getting his hair cut in his own place. The other barbers all like to go home promptly at quitting time, and if one of us gets work done during the day there is sure to be a rush about that time, and 1t makes customer sore if he has to wait with two barbers right here and not waiting on him. He doesn't like to wait around while one barber cuts an- other barber's hair."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SPREAD NEGRO GOV. H0KE SMITH
 -o---
 TELLS SOUTH

Atlanta, Ga, April 15-The twelfth
 nnual conference for education in the South was formally opened last night, when the conference was welcomed by Governor Hoke Smith. The annual address Of R. c. Ogden, of New York, the president, as well as @ paper on .sThe American Spirit in Education, by pr. & c. Mitchell, president of the read. Governor Smith touched upon educational problems of the South Taking up the race problem, the Gov ernor said:
 T do not believe that those who dwell upon the work of negro institu- tions into which few of the race enter comprehend the question The real negro educational problem is found in the six million negroes who never en- ter these institutions and who are ut terIy unsuited for the opportunities they offer. I refer to the great bod fes of negroes engaged in the simplest lines Of manual labor.
 Importance shows that negroes i'm prove most rapidly where there are fewest negroes in proportion to the number of whites The best friend tion to all sections. This can be ac- complished by more white settlers coming South and more negroes going North, East and West"
 Mr. Ogden said that the conference .be7 tts place as a part of an educa- Ifda renaissance @"This york; he said, f"can perhaps be definitely de- feated only at a single point. It ex- ists primarily to impress upon the mind of the citizen the responsibility of the individual for educational con ditions; to support the claim that every child in America, native or for eign born, is entitled to a good Eng fish education; that it is the duty of the State as representing the people to provide such education"
 Dr. Mitchell said the public school xI ,1@ paid for it as truly as individuals would support a private academy.

Obstinacy.

There is something in obstinacy which differs from every other passion. Whenever it fails 1t never recovers, but either breaks like iron or crum- bles sulkily away like fractured arch. Most other passions have their period of fatigue and rest, their sufferings and their cure, but obstinacy has no resource, and the first wound is mortal Johnson.

Why NOT OWN LAND?
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY is TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

deep down in the nature of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses well-known truth. The ques-
ton is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analysed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi-
lions of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on a parity, the laws are as we'll
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price of land
is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
M WI hnmnC
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
| awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand few
| letters, written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
| to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has a good basis of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the goth of April Of this year w.
Il. Conley, of LCugheed, Alberta, wrote
| II Ill bCliOll. TIC lO
weather has been just fine ever since
/ / came here in March, and believe
one could find if he wanted to some
small punches of snow around the
! edge Of the lake. There is a frost near
| ~ every morning: at sunrise it begins
to fade away, then those blue flow
ers open and look as fresh as if there
had been no frost for week. =.
| There is no reason why this country
should not become garden Of Eden;
the wealth is in the ground and only
needs little encouragement from tho
government to induce capital inSlere.
There is everything here to build

Imprisoned with the Dead.


Prof. Palermo of the University Of
Messina lost two sons.
Il was sleeping in my bed he said,
when I was thrown out of bed, which
fell on top of me- The ceiling col
lapsed, the floor opened and l was
thrown into the first floor apartment
of Nine. Pernici. She was reaching
for her sister and son, whom we
found dead. We remained AL day
and night alone without help, keeping
the rain off with planks.
THUS we were without food or
drink among the screams of the bur-
led. The latter ceased somewhat at
night. No one came with assistance
and we were as if in tomb alongside
the bodies. Children, wounded, We're
around us, but invisible under the
ruins and weeping in despair or burst
ing into piercing cries at every sound

capped from the ruins we We're taken

THE WAY OF A PRIZE BEAUTY.
81 Eat What Want When Want It,"
Asserts English Medal Winner.

A young woman with $4,000 prize
figure having arrived in New York,
her views on beauty culture have be-
come at once important. II eat four
times a day." says this new Venus,
land every day l walk about four
miles. l eat what pleases me, drink
only light wines and champagne and
limit myself to half a pack of cigar
cites day"
If there is any mistake about this
regimen the lady has time 20 find it
out. She is only "a years old and
weighs only las pounds as yet.
Ten years of physical culture, so it
is advertised, have produced this mod
ell in feminine symmetry. There !. is
mention of dumbbelis, hygienic cor
sets and. perhaps for the warning of
Vassar's record breaking athletic girls,
an avoidance of strenuous outdoor
sports. Yet the striking feature in
this case of perfect development ap-
pears to be the absence of hard and
fast rules.

LONG TRIP MADE BY MAILBAG
Sack of Letters Went 10000 Miles to
Overtake Cruiser.

After four-months' chase and trav
cling 10000 miles, sack of mail has
been delivered to the United States
armored cruiser Milwaukee at Bre
merton, Wash.
Before it finally caught up with the
big cruiser, this sack of mail had gone
to San Francisco, Honolulu, back to
San Francisco. Panama, then to Hon.
duras, back to San Francisco again,
and finally Bremerton, in all more
than 10000 miles.
One day last July the sack of mail
was placed aboard fast mail train
and hurried to Chicago, where it, was
transhipped to ore of the transconti-
mental expresses for San Francisco,
where the Milwaukee was in port. But
before the mail arrived Commander
Rogers of the Milwaukee received a
hurry up order from Washington to
sail for Honolulu.
On the day before the Milwaukee
was due in Honolulu the sack Of mail
was started on the same journey in q
