FIRST AND LAST CONCLUSION.
facilitating Man Arrived at 1t Only to

When Willie was a boy he used to
wonder If he would ever be rich-but
OF course he was too young toknow.
When he grew older he argued with
himself If smoking was really injuri-
ous-but he never settled that ques-
tion
Later he went out into society and
discovered that some women are pref

He often thought he would marry
only he could never seem to decide
which kind he preferred.
He grew nightly interested in SCI
ence and thought he might write a
book about something of the sort-but
he never did.
He joined five churches, one at a
time-but he never felt quite sure he
had hit the right one.
He believed in single AK socialism
and high tariff-but he vasn't sure
that things were not II as they
were.

Extraordinary INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
"SOUTHERN ALBERTA Is
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of a 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 the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15,OS.
"Mr. c. ]. 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 a homestead adj
Joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
ings 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
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 a yield in average
years of from 20 to % bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from 25 to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 40 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
and little over Pork brings and
head Of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us 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.
1--WE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.

sentative of the New York World
asked him his plans.
1t is regrettable fact that since his
| third marriage, with Countess Babska,
this great writer has given very little
to the world. He says he is not in the
mood. Possibly the delicate state of
health in which Miss Sienkiewicz has
| been for some time has had a good
| deal to do with it, as he has passed
many anxious moments on her &C
count.
On her account, also he is not able
| to pass the winter on his estate near
Warsaw in the government of Kielce.
This property, which is called "Oblen-
gorek," was given to him by the Polish
| people on the occasion of his jubilee,
some seven years ago. 1t is situated
in the prettiest part of Poland, far
| enough from railway station to in
sure privacy from the inroads of tour.
lists, and possesses, besides the house,
beautiful park and a home farm.
| The house, which is rambling and
comfortable, reminds one a little of
the more substantial Swiss Villas In
fact, the government of Kielce is
often called Polish Switzerland, from
its hills and valleys and beautiful
views. The drawing-room, furnished
in the style of the first empire, is a
mingling of restful, neutral shades
The dining-room, furnished in typical
Polish style, with many good pictures
by modern artists, leads into the au-
thors study, though, as a matter of
fact, Sienkiewicz' best work-includ-
ing "Quo Vadis"-was done elsewhere.
Besides these rooms, on the ground
floor are other sitting and bedrooms.
The general effect is one of SIMPLE
ity, neatness and good taste
Park Is Beautiful.
But the chief charm of Oblengorek
lies in the park, with its shady hooks,
dim alleys and confusion of flowers
Then, too, there is the spring of min
eral water, discovered on the estate
soon after it was presented to it's
present owner. At the time it was
hoped that this water, which M. Sien-
kiewicz christened "Ursus," in mem
DRY of the gigantic Pole in Quo
Vadis,'' would be sent all over the
world. 1t is not unlike Apollinaris in
taste and it is clear and sparkling. In
short time, however, it was found
that, owing to the difficulties connect
ed with transport, the water, even in
Warsaw, was too expensive to have
a large sale. Small quantities are still,
however, bottled and sent to different
parts of the country. The spring is
built round in a tasteful way that
characterizes all that has been done
by the owner of Oblengorek.
M. SinekiewicZ, whose handsome,
powerful head shows signs of having
been tout in the snow" has travelled
about a great DEAL Among other
places he has visited the United States
= of America. He has little but praise
for Americans and their country. And
praise is thing with which he is not
lavish, as many people have found out.

American Women.
Never before and nowhere else in
the world have women had such a
good time as in America The laws
make up to her, custom gives her free
dom, public opinion shields her even
when she is at fault, and all the men
pet and spoil her. This respect for
women is general trait in the Anglo
Saxon character, but it is greater in
America than in England. The Amer
lean woman is little like a spoilt
child. But when you ask me if she
stands higher or lower intellectually
than the European woman must ask:
With what class, of European wom-
en- am l to compare herr We have
differences between. the different
classes of women such as do not exist
at all in America. For instance, with
us a 'drawing-room' lady, besides her
own languages, speaks goodness knows
how many foreign ones; she plays on
the piano and knows how to talk
about art and literature with the
ol, Sc hot &c,
chiefly necessary. Her mind is fiex-
ible and developed; if she thinks fit
to pose as something unusual she
knows how to cover her perfumed
soul with a cloud of mystery. In the
thick forest of words and feelings she
In general she is quick and as keen
in society as a razor; to speak the
truth, she is not learned, but devel-
oped, both psychologically and aes-
thetically, to the highest point.
Comparison Hard to Make.
Compare with the country wench
Chloe. She walks about with red,
bare feet, drinks vodka, cannot read or
write, knows absolutely nothing of
what is going on around her; the world
reflects. itself only in her eyes, as the
heavens are reflected in water; Moth
ing touches her brain. Now, with
which of these two sisters am 1 to
compare the American woman? Leav-
ing out the blue stockings and a small
percentage who by travelling in Eu-
rope have made themselves up on
European lines, will take the average
American woman. We find exactly
the same thing that I mentioned when
speaking about American civilization
and culture. Every American woman,
