SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out of
the c. N. r. depot in Winnipeg The
talk began in rather wide circles The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer following pursued
in the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got few sections up here along this
line, and Pm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore Git is curious how these mid
western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it was
"Can'dy")-"but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
you see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been 60
ing on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for 1t, and
every farm that's offered Is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us $11 and $12, so
that man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether, too. There won't be any slack
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa."
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending step that meant a
new flag, new allegiance, new
land, and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration Of
independence for a good thing in
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas-
katchewan to keep the family togeth-
err" was another and quite higher
motive.
Why seek too closely to analyZe the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? 1t is enough
to know that the sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime
sota-the best blood of the midwest
are pouring into the Canadian west in
an ever-increasing stream, and are
learning that God Save the King" and
my Country IT'S of Thee" are sung
to the same tune.-Toronto (Ontario)

COUGHED ALL NIGHT
Till This Recipe Was Tried. Cure
Followed in Hours.


A prominent medical man, who SUI
fered with severe cough and cold
on the lungs, often being kept awake
all night, and weakened by loss Of
sleep, finally discovered simple
formula which will cure any cough in
five hours by the clock. 1t is a lax
alive tonic cough syrup which can
be made at home by anyone and the
formula is here given for the benefit
of those who pass sleepless nights in
painful paroxysms. Those who have
tried it say it is magical and beats
any high-priced, slow-acting cough
medicine ever sold.
Mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid
wild cherry bark, one ounce compound
essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Take
twenty drops every half hour for four
hours. Then take one-half to one tea
spoonful three or four times a day,
Give children less according to age.
This will tone up and rid the system
of deep-seated coughs every time.

Sidered the matter / concluded that
Helen Holbrook could readily slip out
at the back of the house, when the
guards thus met, and that she had
thus found egress on the night before.
At this moment the two guards met
precisely at the front door, and to my
surprise Sister Margaret, in the brown
garb of her sisterhood, stepped out,
nodded to the watchmen in the light
of the overhanging lamp, and walked
slowly round the buildings and toward
the lake. The men promptly resumed
their patrol. The sister slipped away
like a shadow through the garden;
and l dropped down from the wall in
side the school park and stole after
her. The guards were guilty of no
improperly in passing her; there was,
to be sure, no reason why Sister Mar
garet should not do precisely as she
liked at st. Agatha's. However, my
curiosity was piqued, and / crept quiet
ly along through the young naples
that fringed the wall. She followed a
path that led down to the pier, and
hung back to watch, still believing
that Sister Margaret had gone forth
merely to enjoy the peace and beauty
of the night. paused in little thick.

She stood beside the upright staff
from which the pier lights swung
the white lantern between the two red
ones-looking out across the lake. The
lights outlined her tall figure distinct
ly. She peered about anxiously sew
eral times, and | heard the impatient
tap of her foot on the planks. In the
lake sounded the faint gurgle of water
round a paddle, and in moment a
canoe glided to the pier and a man
stepped out. He bent down to seize
the painter, and | half turned away,
ashamed of the sheer curiosity that
had drawn me after the sister. Nuns
who chafe at their prison bars are not
new, either to romance or history;
and this surely was no affair of mine.
Then the man stood up, and | saw that
it was Gillespie. He was hatless, and
his arms were barred He began to
speak, but she quoted him with a
word; and as with a gesture she flung
back her brown hood, l saw that it
was Helen Holbrook.

He took both her hands and held
them, bending toward her eagerly. She
seemed taller than he in the lantern
light.
