Big Break in Canal Nearly Repaired.

The big washout in the high line canal
near Aberdeen is nearly completed, and
word comes that water may be expect
ed not later than May Is. There will
be some real farming done on the Carey
tract this year. The delivery of water
the past two seasons was on limited
acreage, and late at that, so that no
real farming has been done under the
canal up to date.

A Lost Fee.

The Right Hon. Augustine Birrell
once believed that he had been smit-
ten with a mortal disease and went to
consult a distinguished doctor who
lived in the neighborhood OF Harley
street and who was a great expert on
the disease Of which he thought he
was victim. 1t was a hot day in July,
and as he walked from his London
home, which was in the neighborhood
of Addison road, to Harley street he
perspired freely.
He found the great physicians
rooms all crowded with patients
probably, he thought, suffering from a
similar complaint to himself.
While waiting he found ON the table
book written by the great physician
on the subject Of the particular dis
case. He opened the book, and the
first words which caught his eye were
these: "The patient who Is suffering
from this disease never perspires."
He had Scotch blood in his veins, so
he picked up his hat and gloves and
walked out, and he never saw that

A story Of Father Mathew.

Father Mathew was the most low

In the light Of this statement found in
a biography Of the famous Irish priest
by Mrs. Katherine lyman Hinkson
two incidents of his crusade for tenn
perance in the north of Ireland should

At Clones, in Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised when he visited
1t. Instead Of considering 1t as an In
suit he thought 1t very great COM
pllment, never having seen one or
been honored with one before. When
he saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag. Commenting on
this, an Irish writer says:
"A Catholic priest calling for a cor
dial salutation Of the Orange banner
and Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending was something almost incon-
ceivable. 1t had never occurred before
In Ireland. I'm afraid 1t has never oc-
Cured since"
For the time being there were good
will and friendly feeling from one end
Of Ulster to the other. One recruit
who knelt for Father Mathews bless
ing said:
you wouldn't be blessing me If you
knew what am"
"And what are you. my dear?" Fa-
