The practice of resolving presents
similar aspect. 1t is not entirely
perfect at present. But considering
the few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race it is not
surprising that some details are still
to be worked out The forming of the
resolution has been beautifully work
ed out. till almost any one, the merest
novice, can resolve. The date, too,
has been firmly fixed as on the first
of January. The chief difficulty that
still remains has to do with keeping
the resolution once it is made. Some
thing like keeping your aeroplane
right side up once you have estab-
lished a neighborly relation with the
stars.
Probably several years will elapse
before the custom of resolving
reaches perfection and in the mean
time it might be we'll to adopt a
makeshift for the present unattain-
able
1t would seem as if the difficulty
might be minimized by more attention
to the subjects taken for resolving
purposes. 1t is we'll to use care in Sc
lecting our resolutions, and because
of the proximity of January 1, few
suggestions may not be out of place.

IT would rather raise cattle in West
ern Canada than in the corn belt Of
the United States. You can get your
food cheaper and the climate is bet
ter for the purpose. We have a bet
ter market, but your market will inn
prove faster than your farmers will
produce the supplies. Winter wheat
can be grown in one-half of the coun-
try through which | have passed, and
alfalfa and one of the varieties of
clover in three-fourths of it. The
farmers do not believe this, but it is
true"
Keeping pace with wheat produce
ton, the growth OF railways has peep
quite as wonderful, and the whole
country from Winnipeg to the Rocky
Mountains will soon be a network of
trunk and branch lines. Three great
transcontinental lines are pushing
construction in every direction. and
at each siding the grain elevator is
to be found. Manitoba being the
first settled province, has now an ele-
vator capacity of upwards of 5000 900
bushels, Saskatchewan 100000, and
Alberta about 100000, while the ca
pacity of elevators at Fort William
and Port Arthur, on the Great Lakes,
is upwards of 20,000,000 more.
Within the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta there are
-four and oatmeal mills with COM
bined capacity of $4,000 barrels per
day, and situated along some famous
water powers in New Ontario, there
are larger mills than will be found
anywhere in the Prairie Provinces.
Last year the wheat crop totaled
over 100,000,000 bushels. This year
the crop will yield 30,000,O00 more. A
recent summary shows that on the LIST
of January, 1909, the surveyed lands
of the three western provinces, totaled
134,000,000 acres, of which about 3d.
100000 have been given as subsidies to
railways, 100000 disposed of in 9TH
er ways and 100000 given by the
Canadian Government as free home
steads, being $4,000 homesteads of
100 acres each. Of this enormous ter
ritory, there is probably under crop
at the present time less than 11,000,-
900 acres; what the results will be
when wide awake settlers have taken
advantage of Canada's offer and are
cultivating the fertile prairie lands,
one can scarcely imagine.

The Tiger.

ing. It was not the first railway in
Maine, as there was a stretch of
track IN Penobscot county, known as
the Bangor & Oldtown, or Veazie's
railway, which was laid down In 1886,
four years after the Baltimore G. Ohio
gave UP horsepower for steam.
The first railroad to be operated by
steam in this country was the South
Carolina, some time between 1880,
but trials with an experimental loco
motive had been made before that
time by the Baltimore & Ohio, who
were reluctant, however, to relinquish
the slow but sure horse power until
the reliability of the steam locomotive
had been proven. When Names first
road was laid down in 1885, the pres
ent town of Veazie was the seventh
ward of Bangor, and Gen. Samuel Yea
zie was conspicuous as lumber OPP
orator and property owner in that part
of the city. He owned largely in the
railroad, and that's why the stretch
of track from Bangor to Oldtown was
called Veazie's.
Freight on the Machiasport & Whit
NEVILLE road was first pulled by an
English-built locomotive sent to Maine
by the old Boston locomotive builders,
Hinkley & Drury. 1t was to keep lum-
Der on the move until the cid Tiger,
one of the two engines recently sent
from Washington county to Portland
was being built. The name of the Eng
lish engine, the first to make steam
noises along the way, was the Phenix.
The Tiger was completed and sent by
schooner to Machiasport in 1912. The
following year marked the arrival of
the Lion from the same firm, and the
Phenix having done duty while the
American engines were being made.
was returned to Boston.

upon you! Shamey! Remember
grandma is not SO young as she once
was and the penitential efficiency of
bunion is greatly enhanced by the
showing forward of the foot as accom-
plished by the French heel. Command
the old lady to do a cake-walk once
an hour around the dining room table
if you will, but let her do it in COM
Portable shoes. Another item in favor
of trying this resolution is the fact
that you have probably never asked
grandma to wear any kind of shoes
she didn't like, so it should be that
much easier to keep to your resolu-
ton not to do SO.
For young mani resolve from
this day never again to smoke a pipe
in church. This sample is highly
recommended. The practice against
which you issue the edict of Danish
ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree. Smoking, while of course it
might be solace to you during the
sermon, could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. The
preacher is unable to see whether all
the deacOns are awake or not by the
haze from your pipe. Moreover, just
as distinguished statesman once Of
ficially declared that the odor of
cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of a pipe is
nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these. Besides, you
would probably be thrown out or ar
rested or something.
For men who ride much in street
cares "henceforth I will not mind the
feathers" This is one requiring con-
siderable care-but if strictly adhered
to will be found of great assistance in
your daily life When depending from
strap and resting your toes on some
neighbors long stiff quill suddenly
jabs you in the nose giving to that fea-
ture the rich red that which another
class of resolvists have already &C
quired, do not release your temper.
Smile and pretend you like it. Oft
| times you can make yourself believe
it, after due practice, of course. But
the principal advantage to be cited in
this resolutions favor is that you
might just as we'll" So long as the
fashion remains the same you will
have your daily communion with the
tail feathers of an ostrich or of
rooster and if you resolve not to mind,
how much more placid the temper!
For any one who does not raise
chickens-"I hereby resolve and de-
termine not to eat any more strictly
fresh eggs for several weeks to
come" This is in some respects the
prize resolution. It's advantages are
many, but all the others are over
Swallowed by this one-you can't get
any to eat.
In spite of all the teacher may do
the pupil will not learn unless he
himself studies. You cannot make
successful use of these sample resolu-
lions without effort on your part. But
you should find one among them
which can be kept with the minimum
of struggle. If you have no choice or
you are skeptical as to your ability,
| try the last one.

growing confidence that this old yet renewing

Another note of our time is the
fact that life mirrors itself in such
wonderful way and the things
and forces that make for the bet
ter day to be are known and read
OF all men. We live in the open,
and no man may become champion
OF any cause and keep the world in
ignorance of the character of the
cause and the nature of his cham
plonship. No man to-day may hide
his light under bushel. 1t is O
tell-tale world, and, more than any
past time, the world to-day has a
juster sense of values and knows
both the things that are saving it
and the things also that threaten
and endanger it. Public service
was never so responsible as it is
to-day, because civilization never
had the almost miraculous power
OF Analysing and testing the value
of public service as in this present
year. Public life is an open book,
and the most impossible of all i'm
possible things to-day is that any
national or international movement
should be misunderstood or misin-

And what is true of public move
