front of Phipps and asked him in a whisper as they pointed towards a well-known Detroit minister, who was slumbering in a nearby seat, "Is that Phipps, the murderer?'
 Phipps merely smiled in reply, but it was evident that the title of mur- derer used in conjunction with his name made him finch considerably, and Murray was about to explain the situation to the reporters when the train started and the two seekers for information left the car hurriedly. The news of Phipps' coming had gone be. fore him and when the train reached Detroit there were nearly two hundred of his former friends waiting at the station to see him. The reception they gave the prisoner testified strongly to the high tide of popularity in his home town and Murray felt still more ia vorably inclined toward the man whom duty compelled him to hand over to the grim mercies of Canadian law
 'I'll see you fellows at the Michigan exchange" called out Phipps to his friends as he followed Murray into a cab that Chief Rains of Windsor had waiting for them. I'd like to take farewell drink there," added the pris- oner to Murray, and the latter nodded assent and ordered the cabman to drive to the barroom in question. Phipps' friends gathered there in full force and crowded around him, shak- ing hands and giving vent to loud eX- pressions of sympathy. Finally Mur- ray delivered himself of short speech to the crowd that was trenchant and very much to the point.
 Its all very well to be sorry, boys" said the detective bluntly, but Phipps needs something more than that. What he wants is money for his defense and I'm ready to start a col lection right now" Murray backed up his statement by making a handsome donation and the crowd, growing en- thusiastic over the idea, followed suit, with the result that a comfortably large sum was soon subscribed and given to the prisoner. That done Mur ray asked him if there was any other place in Detroit he wanted to visit be- fore crossing the river
 I'd like to drive past my old home on Jefferson street" said the pris- oner, wistfully.
 Many times in after life the detec, tice was glad that he acceded to this last request of his unfortunate pris- oner. The cab drove along Jefferson street and Phipps gazed with soul hungry eyes upon the house wherein he had once lived so happily He watched it out of the cab window and then from the window in the back un- til it had faded from his view.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
 IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle, writes the Canadian Government Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
 T have neighbors in Central Canada raising wheat, barley and oats for the past 20 years, and are now getting from the same land 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of oats.
 Tt was the first week of May when I got my tent pitched, but the farmers all around had finished putting in their crops, so I only got fifteen acres broke and seeded. They advised me as it was late not to put in much wheat, so I put in five acres of wheat and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota- toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg etables grow well up there, sweet corn, tomatoes, onions, carrots peas, beans, cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per acre, for which I got 76 cents, others got so cents; oats threshed 35 bushels per acre, for which l got 35 cents per bushel You see I was three weeks late in getting them in, still I was satisfied.
 From my observation, there is more money made in stock, such as cattle, horses and sheep, as prices are high for such, and it costs nothing to raise them, as horses live the year around out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn their work horses out for the winter, and they come in fresh and fat in the spring. Cattle live out seven or eight months. They now the prairie grass and stack it for winter and give oat straw My neighbors sold steers at $40 each, and any kind of horse that can blow, from $150.00 up. Iraised 50 chickens and pigs, as pork, chick ems, butter and eggs pay well and al- ways good market for anything a man raises, so have every reason to be thankful, besides, at the end of three years I get my patent for home stead. l heard of no homestead sell Ing for less than $2,000, so where un- der the sun could an old man or young man do better?"

out of the cemetery, across the road, through the fields, travelling like an injured dog, limping on all fours.
 His progress was very slow. His destination was the river, which he reached an hour after midnight, and where he found an old boat, half full of water. He discovered a piece of board crawled into the boat, showed off and began to paddle. When dawn was breaking he reached the American shore, below Detroit, nine miles down stream, wet to the skin, wounded, bloOd-stained and faint. But he knew the country round about and made his way into the city to the home of a friend, knocked and was taken in, clothed and fed. When his wounds were healed and his strength returned, he left Detroit resolved to enter upon a new life.
 But the Canadian authorities were not disposed to tamely relinquish the possession of a prisoner who had broken their laws and set them at de- fiance. Orders were issued to capture Phipps, wherever he might be, and signed to Detective John Wilson Mur ray.
 He sent out a description of Phipps to police headquarters all over the continent. The fugitive was a billiard room keeper and Murray calculated that it would be simply a question of time until his money gave out and he would be obliged to look for a job in a billiard room. Every man to his trade is a maxim that also holds good in the case of fugitive from justice, and the detectives surmise proved cor rect. Phipps was located in Pullman, III, where he had obtained a position in Q billiard room Murray prepared eXtraditiOn papers, went to Illinois and took Phipps from Pullman to Chicago.
 In the latter city the fugitive em. plcyed Jesse Ball, an able lawyer, and made hard fight against eXradition. His counsel endeavored to show that the shooting was done in American NoCIAos anu lllClC 10 iiO AdlStUS III Michigan. If the crime had been com mitted in American waters, Phipps would have been tried in Michigan, and if convicted, he would not have been hanged. Murray proved by the captain of the boat and a number of it's passengers that the shooting was done in Canada waters, on the Canada side of the river The legal fight lasted a couple of days, both sides calling witnesses, and Phipps lost. An appeal was taken and writ of habeas corpus issued, but the proceeding was dis missed and Murray and his prisoner started for Canada.

GOOD CHANGE
Coffee to Postum.

The large army of persons who have found relief from many chronic ail- ments by changing from coffee to Postum as a daily beverage, is grow ing each day.
 It is only a simple question of trying it for oneself in order to know the joy of returning health as realized by an Ills. young lady She writes:
 T had been a coffee thinker nearly all my life and it affected my stomach caused insomnia and l was seldom without a headache. l had heard about Postum and how beneficial it was, so concluded to quit coffee and try it.
 T was delighted with the change. I can now sleep well and seldom ever have headache. My stonach has gotten strong and I can eat without suffering afterwards, I think ny whole system greatly benefited by Postpm.
 My brother also suffered from stom- ach trouble while he drank coffee, but now. since using PostUn he feels so much better he would not go back to coffee for anything"

 fly to the ground below. There he lay for some time, severely bruised and only half conscious. He was aroused by hearing voices in the jail, and stag
 gering to his feet dragged himself away in search of hiding place.
 He came to a graveyard, and as he crawled along in the darkness, fell head foremost into a newly dug grave.
 Silent he lay without moving, with fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He heard a creaking and Jumping and faintly, as though far away, he heard the harsh rattle of earth falling on the casket. Yet no weight seemed to press upon him, but this did not sur. prise him, for he was long past the stage of astonishment. It was the end. and nothing mattered now. He heard the rumble of wheels as the carriages departed and the footsteps of the , mourners died away.
 His awakening came suddenly, ac- companied by cold thrill of horror, as his eyes opened upon the utter darkness. He tried to move, but his entire frame seemed to be paralyzed. With rush of recollection there crossed his mind the memory of the burial, the prayer and singing. He moved his head feebly and through the hay caught sight of the twinkling stars. Slowly and with great pain he managed to rise to a sitting posture. Where was the coffin, where the six feet of earth underneath which it lay? He staggered to his feet and saw that the grave he occupied was empty His brain whirled madly in maze of tor turing conjectures. What did it all mean? He tried to chamber out, but fell back exhausted He lay back on the hay, rested and tried again. It was the work of an hour for him to drag his feeble limbs over the edge of the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then the mystery was solved. Close beside the open grave rom WHICH he Hdu emerged a new-made mound stood darkly in the moonlight The burial had indeed taken place, but in the grave adjoining that in which he lay.
 The escaped murderer stood up and laughed hysterically as he looked around and saw the distant outlines of Sandwich jail looming black and gigantic in the moonlight. Rallying his failing strength he staggered away from the grave that had been his place of refuge. On the new-made mound stood a vase of flowers, and bending town weakly, he plucked one and tossed it into the empty grave.
 Then painfully he turned and crept

The Secret of Poverty.
New

Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York unlocked the secret of general poverty in an address at the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History in New York early this month, when he said: What is killing the people of this city may be stated as overwork, underfeeding and overcrowding; and two of these may be included under the one word 'underpaid.' The mes sage of the church and of medicine to-day to the community is not Give to the poor but Don't take so much away from them. The Public.

A passerby at Broad and Lombard streets in Philadelphia once heard the following dialogue between la- borer who was digging in a sewer and a stout, beaming lady with a capacious market basket on her arm:
 "Ah, good marnin' to you, Pat" said she leaning over and looking into the pit And what are you doin'?"
 Good marnin', Bridget" he replied, looking up. I'm a-earnin alimony for yees. And what are you doin?"
 Sure, I'm a-spendin' it." replied Bridget airily, as she trotted off, Lippincott's.
