More than unusual interest was at
tached to the service while on view,
because OF the criticism relative to the
engraving OF the portrait OF Jefferson
Davis on one of the larger pieces o.
the Bet.
The service contains sixty-three
pieces, weighs about 1900 ounces and
cost $1,000. The punch bowl has en-
grayed on one side a picture OF the

launched In philadelphia In 1905. and

General Joe" Wheeler relates the
following amusing incident that took
place during The night of the Ell
Caney affair;
General Lawton's division was
marching back to Ell Paso, there to
take up a new position in the morn
ing. The general, in company with
Major Creighton Webb inspector
general of his staff, was standing at
the edge of the road, watching his
troops file past Just as dawn was
breaking the colored troops came IN
sight. They gave evidence of be-
ing dead tired, but were neverthe-
less full of ginger
General Lawton's attention was
attracted to a certain corporal of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a great
six-foot negro, who in addition to a
couple of guns and two cartridge
belts loaded full was carrying dog.
The soldier to whom the other gun
belonged was limping alongside his
comrade.
1.-THE General halted the men.
Here, Corporal said he to the six
foot man, didn't you march all last
night?'
Yes, sir, responded the negro,
saluting.
And fought all day.?
Yes, sir
" You have, besides, been march
ing since ten o'clock last night?'
Eyes, sir.
Then said Lawton, why on
earth are you carrying that dog
We'll, general replied tn negro,
showing his white teeth in broad
grin, the dogs tired!"

Health and Profits,

New York Times.-Professor Irving
Fisher of Yale has been suggesting to
the life insurance companies that
they establish department of health
as a means of prolonging the life Of
their policy holders and thus of in
creasing their own profits. But there
is danger in such a proposition. Be-
sides being an unwarranted interior
ence with personal liberty, they
might eventually bring about such a
condition of health as to remove all
that fear of death which constitutes
the chief urgency of lie insurance. It
would be much better if the life-insur-
ance companies could invent port
able and well disciplined disease
which the agents could carry around
with them, but not use until the pros
pective victim absolutely refused to
yield to the ordinary Establishments.
The disease should be withdrawn as
soon as the victim capitulated.

Canada. Happy Prospect.

Western Canada's Happy Prospects.
In no year since the development of
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than 1t
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development ana
prosperity. The movement OF immlgra-,
ton has already assumed large proper
lions. and is as desirable in character
as it is satisfactory in volume; from
across the Atlantic sturdy, 1nduStrl-
Gus and thrifty newcomers are arrlv-
ing in large numbers homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
provinces are coming in a steady
stream. and from across the lnterha
tional boundary movement is already
in full flow which, it is confidently
predicted, will beat the records of all
previous years special settlers trains
are crossing the line, loaded with Ell
fects actual material wealth being
thus brought into the country at the
rate of millions of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement is so unprecedently
large that extra Dominion lmmlgfa-
tion officials have had to be provided
aft both North Portal and at Emerson
and if is estimated that the total num-
her of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000 at least,
and may run well up toward loo,ooo.
Last wears total of new settlers 1rcln
the South was 53,723: thus the area
that will be placed in wheat and other
grains this year will greatly exceed
that of last year. Settlers are making
extraordinary efforts to get on their
lands and begin seeding operations.
The price of wheat now, away above
fine dollar mark. is incentive enough,
and when one has in view the splen-
did results that the past few years
have shown, it is not to be wondered
at that the present will be the banner
wear for immigration to Canada. ASK
your nearest Canadian government
agent for rates of transportation, and
he will also send you illustrated
