Extraordinary INCREASE n
FARM LANDS,
SOUTHERN ALBERTA IS
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given OF the merits of country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony Of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This Is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go TO Western Canada
through he solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15-'0S.
Mr.. G. j. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got homestead ad-
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built a house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
lngs. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
| yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
1 to the acre. In This country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
! there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having yield in average
| years of from 20 to % bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from 20 to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite bunch OF
horses, over SO in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
6 cents pound. We have about 80
nead OF cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, Running
10 the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us a little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one Sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles OF our ranch within the next Is
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
for any man or woman who loves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
nent, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as splendid country in
which to locate.
yours very truly,

II was midnight. In Fifth avenue
there were few pedestrians, and so a
fat man in evening dress, hurrying
northward, attracted attention. Six
night birds, who thought his actions
mysterious, followed a few PAGES in
the rear. Occasionally they questioned
each other as they trotted briskly
along, but the questions were put in
the hopeless tone that the questioner
uses when he knows the person ques-
toned cannot supply the information
he requires.
The fat man didn't speak. He
moved at smart jog trot, looking
straight to the front and seemingly
unaware of the fact that he was the
cause of much conjecture. The mys-
terry scented by the others was caused
by the peculiar movements of his
hands. His arms were outstretched,
and his two hands revolved round
each other like the hands of a fisher
man hauling in line. And the in
quisitive ones in the rear were unable
to explain this movement. 1t was not
a dignified exercise for fat man in
evening dress, and their curiosity was
justified.
AT Thirty-second street a policeman,
doing on the opposite side of the
road, Strengthened himself as he saw
the hurrying group coming towards
him. Swinging his night stick he
crossed over and waited the approach
OF the little procession. He was in
charge of that neighborhood, and
there should be an explanation.
The fat man passed the officer at a
gallop. His hands were moving faster
and faster, and the tails of his coat
were sticking out like little black
wings in his rear. The law was a
trifie astonished. AS he stood looking
after the leader of the hurrying squad,
he was jostled by the inquisitive ones
following, and he became annoyed.

"sprint a Little, or We May Be Too
Late"
He grabbed a straw-hatted youth by

He grabbed a straw-hatted youth by
the shoulder and questioned him.
What's the matter?" he cried
Search me-" answered the ques-
toned one. "Le'me go; want to see
what the ole guy is up to-"
The policeman lost his temper. He
was uv,n, treated with disrespect. A
festive citizen was running a fool pro-
cession over his beat without giving
him the least explanation! So he let
60 of the youths shoulder and dashed
madly after the man in evening dress.
Here, what's the gamer" he painted.
What sort of stunt are you up to,
anyhow"
The fat man shook off the grip of
the law and ran faster than ever, his
outstretched hands circling round
each other like the arms of windmill
In gale
"Stoop down and I'll tell you," he
gasped, as the officer made another eff
fort TO restrain him.
The evident responsibility of the fat
man made the policeman comply with
the request, and bending his six-foot
frame he ran alongside the other as
he listened. The inquisitive mob, now
numbering a score, gathered in close,
but the nightstick described circle
and they backed into safety.
For nearly twenty yards the police
man ran with bent back. Then he
Strengthened himself up and laughed
loudly. Good for you" he cried
Sprint a little, or We may be too
late" Then he started to run madly
alongside the man with the windmill
arms.
The curious ones were annoyed
They were taxpayers, and they did not
think IL right that the officer, who was
their servant, should keep the solution
of the mystery secret. They growled
angrily whenever the law chuckled
over the story that the fat man had
whispered, but they followed at full

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits, particularly Of
eating and drinking, are formed BY TO-,
lowing our elders,
\ In tffs way Ill health is often fas-

Il had been allowed to drink coffee

as a child I had a weak stomach,
which frequently refused to retain
food.
1.-THE taste OF coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as found
out later, the cause of the stomach re-
belling against food.
II now see that 1t was only from fol-
lowing the example OF my elders that

habit of drinking coffee. My digestion

MARYDEL DEATH MYSTERY.
No Solution in Inquest of Poisoning
Of Pippin.

MARYDEL. Md, January 13.-After
twelve citizens of Marydel had for a time
been at loggerheads over the question of
an autopsy they returned compromise
verdict yesterday which throws absolutely
no light on the mysterious poisoning of
Charles l.. Pippin, the young undertaken
who drank poison in stage wine while act
ing in an amateur play the night of Janu-
airy I.
States Attorney Deem Of Caroline county
ordered the inquest, yielding to public
sentiment, and the controversy between
the jurors proved conclusively that there
are some people in Marydel who want the
peculiar case sifted to the bottom. In
stead of ordering an autopsy States At
torney Deem allowed the jurors to decide
whether they cared for one. The argu-
ment was warm. and the vote finally stood
five in favor OF the autopsy and seven
against il.
But the five men who were in favor of
the autopsy declined absolutely to sign
verdict declaring the case one of ar:i-
dental poisoning. All agreed on the YER
dict that Is merely few meaningless
words:
THAT Charles l.. Pippin died from poi
son of some kind unknown to the jury
The jury which found this verdict was
composed of Messrs. Charles G. p Jump
foreman: r f. Heather. d. v. Hutchins.
John NJ. Smith. Nj. V. Heather. James f.
Stafford. John W. Sheubrooks. Wellington
Heather. f. II. Morris. j. n. Dennison,
James H. Section and W. J. Morgan
While the testimony threw no suspicion
upon any one. II had a tendency Ia estab-
lish a foundation for an investigation
which the states attorney declares will be
made.
DIR. Fl. f. Evans. one OF the principal
actors of the amateur theatrical company
and the physician who attended Pippin
said he did not believe traces Of the poison
could be found in the stomach If an al,-
topsy were performed. because Pippin
lived nine days after swallowing 1t and
his stomach was washed out several times
But the other doctors were not of the
same opinion. They felt that the only
way to determine the cause Of death was
to perform an autopsy and have the stom-
ach examined by q chemist Dr. Silver
argued that the Death of Pippin was
evidence that the poison was still in the
system.
