HiuhIv Educated Turkish Women.

New light is being thrown upon
things Turkish has brought out some
interesting discoveries. For example,
the Turkish woman of the upper
classes is described as perhaps the
most highly educated woman in the
world. While her western sisters are
busy playing hockey and tennis, per-
forming their social duties-and flirt-
ing-the Turkish woman spends her
day in reading and study. 1t is not an
uncommon thing to meet Turkish
ladies who can speak not only half
the languages of Europe, but know, in
addition, ancient Greek, Persian and
Arabic. Schopenhauer and Herbert
Spencer are favorite authors, and the
latest English and French novels are
the principal subjects of their after.
noon small talk. The picture of this
strenuous intellectualism contrasts
oddly with the traditional ideas Of
harem life.

They knew HOW TO work
BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
so HARD.

The experience Of the Bisser Bros.
in Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent Of the Cana

ment appears elsewhere:
"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9Th, 1908.
"To the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
I, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1893 At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
so we were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tabl.sh ourselves. When we thought
We had enough money to start with, l
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team of
horses and one walking pillow. While
I was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but l am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! ! am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a % horse
power threshing outfit
"Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses of less value, and
! instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, l am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 81 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got
price of 81 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had good crop.
II, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is thoroughly free coun-
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops,
and a good Government, we are salts
fed, and think that is all we want.
Yours very truly,
"LORENS BISSER,
''P. o. Wheatwyn, Sask."

An Elixir of Life,

can annuity is the best elixir OF
life l know Of" said the examining
physician of an insurance company.
"It sometimes seems as if annuitants
never die We have lots on our books
who top 80, 80 and even 95 years.
Il have passed many sickly and
decrepit old fellow as a good annuity
risk-the sicklier they are, you know,
the better risk they make-and the
next year he has turned up to collect
his annuity rejuvenated, rosy, spry as
a boy.
1.-THE secret? The secret is that
financial worry, fear of the poorhouse,

nuity, from all this worry, and he
throws OFF his years and walks erect
and happy and fearlessly young"

MURDER SAY
THE RELATIVES
"SUlClDE," is EXPLANATION OF
FERED BY THE POLICE.
Tracks of Fleeing Man Followed TIVE
Miles From the Scene-FamiIy
Refuses to Accept Sui
eide Theory.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 9.-Tha
George F. Hartin, 46 years old, who
| was found shot to death, in a CHECKER
| coop near his home, yesterday morn
ing, was murdered is the opinion o.
friends and relatives of the dead man
and personal investigation is being
made, despite the theory advanced by
the police that Hartin committed sui
eide. -
Friends and relatives of the victim
refuse to accept the theory of the pc
lice, in view of what they hold to be
almost positive evidence that Hartir
was murdered.
Intermittent light flashes. near the
door of the coop and disappearing
across the fields in the vicinity of the
Hartin home were seen shortly after
Hartin had left the house last night
by Bessie Hudson, 6 years old, who
called the attention of those present
as she looked out of a rear window
of the house.
Shortly after the dead body of Har.
tin was found, but it was not until
late today that footsteps were traced
for nearly two miles leading from the
house across the fields along the
course where the lights were seen
vanishing by the child last night.
c. p. Hardin, brother of the victim
said that it was not until noon today
that the remarks of the child were re
membered by the family and the foot
steps were discovered leading from
the coop, when an investigation was
made. The tracks were lost two
miles away owing to the frozen con-
dition of the fields. The imprints are
large, and were made by someone
fleeing, it is said, owing to the light
and half indented impressions.
An investigation of the body follow
ing the discovery of the dead man re.
vealed what the undertaken believes
to be wounds from finger nails upon
the back of the victims right hand !;
a bullet wound back of the temple
over the right ear. There were no
powdermarks on the body, according
to w. P. Washburn, the undertaken
who cared for the body.
A small 32-caliber revolver with
two empty chambers was found on
the floor beneath the body, covered
with blood, while several feet from
the door of the coop, shattered
lantern, which Hartin had carried
from the house, was found.
