6S per cent over the figures for the
corresponding eight months of the
previous year. Almost as much has
come from the United States as from
all other sources combined. The Am
erican immigration means most for
Canada because of the wealth it brings
and the skill of those settlers in agri
culture. The total immigration figures
for next year will probably show that
more than 125,00O citizens of the IN

system, who said: "The government
ought to buy up the cut-over lands
itself and plant them at its own ex-

difficult to see how the government
could lose. If there is government
ownership, as some people seem to
think may be the case fifty years from

insure it sufficient supply of ties

railroads should then still remain in
private hands, the government could
easily recoup Itself at a good profit
by selling its supply of timber to the
railroads for ties and posts''

The end of charity balls in Chicago,
foreseen in the outburst of attack up
on the last one, will put "finis" to So
cial events that have been for years
the most elaborate and conspicuous
that the city has boosted. More splen-
dor has been lavished upon the
settings for these balls and more dis
play of gowns and jewels made than
at any other event Of the year, and in
cidentally they have been the means
of raising for charity's uses about
100000. Mrs. Potter Palmer has an
nually returned from Europe, and
its royal. semi-royal and petty
courts to take up the no
light task of guiding the Chicago
charity balls to success, each year sue
ceeding in outdoing the previous one.
She is reported to be hurt incurably by
the stinging criticism which has fol-
lowed her latest and greatest triumph.
The dispensing of charity by means of
a brilliant ball has been branded as a
sham and as an ointment for con-
sciences troubled by the knowledge
that poverty and misery exist beyond
the narrow horizon that bounds their
life of ease. One preacher said: 1.-The
charity ball is a second-handed and
roundabout way of doing the thing that
Christ taught should be done first
handed" Another said: "A ball IN:
der the cloak of charity is bad and
i without excuse" Those who buy a
box in which to display themselves
have little right to assume credit for
the good their money may do. Nc
clergyman or charity worker has re
fused to dispense funds provided by
the ball. However, the general theory
expressed is: 1T is the best way to get
money out of them" The spirit OF
charity has almost been lost sight OF
by hundreds of the contributors to
the charity ball funds, it is said, fol-
; the reason that they avoid coming III
contact with the suffering and the
need that they are presumed to de
plore and try to alleviate.

A Story That Won a Prize and Vet

..:. Was Never Published. g. ....
A number Ut years ago a series of
prizes for the best detective story
was offered by certain well known
western newspaper. and the late F. e.
Burton. in collaboration with a fellow
craftsman. entered the competition.
Their story. the theme OF. which in
volved an ingenious method Of rob-
bling safe In spite of the protection
afforded by time lock. was one Of the
five which won prizes. and the authors
portraits were duly published in the
issue OF the paper which announced
the result of the competition. The
!, prize money, constituting considera-
BILE sum. was promptly paid over. but
to the authors surprise. although the
: other four. winning stories were pub
ltshed, that of the time lock failed to
, appear After few weeks q repre-.
sentative, Of the paper called upon Mr..
Burton, explaining that the editor was
! anxious to know what, authority he
had for bis story and whether it would
, really be- possible to rob q bank after
; the fashion that he had set forth.
With the help of a pencil and a few
' diagrams Mr.. Burton easily proved
, the accuracy Ut the method to the ap-
F! parent satisfaction of his interviewer
! and thereafter looked forward to a
prompt appearance Of the story. But
, a few days later the secret of the de
lay was revealed. A special envoy of
the paper waited upon him. full of
-; CONSERVATION and apology. and ire
pared to make any amends within rea-
=; son. but was emphatic In announcing
; that it was absolutely impossible to
publish. the story. because after ex
| pert investigation they had become

, print it would destroy the protective
power of every time lock safe In the
: country. and the, representative of the
, newspaper did not take his leave uD.
! til he had obtained what Mr.. Burton
under, the circumstances easily grant
ed-a signed agreement releasing the
paper from its obligation to publish
the story and solemnly piedging him
self not to attempt to publish It else
where. Accordingly the curiosity
piqued by this bit Of inside history Is
likely never to be gratiHed. -Bookman
