IN MESSENGER BOYS GARB
Miss Jessie Kennedy, S~uffragette,
Seeks to Gain Admission to
Albert Hall Meeting.

LOndon.-Novel measures are be
ing resorted to by militant ~suffragettes
in their effort to bring their cause be-
fore the high government officials OF
the country. Undaunted after re-
peated failure to gain recognition in
their plea for votes for their sex, they
continue in their attempts to enter
public meetings.
The most recent attempt of this ma
ture vas the plan of Miss Jessie Ken
nedy, who disguised herself in the
uniform of a telegraph messenger boy
and tried to gain entrance at a meet
ing held by Premier Asquith at Albert
hall, London. Her ruse was almost
successful.
The Albert hall meeting, at which
Mr.. Asquith announced the fighting
policy of the Liberals, was not inter-
rupted by the suffragettes. This was
not the fault of the militant ladies
themselves, who did all that in them
lay to secure admission, and to retain
positions they had taken up before
hand in more or less ingenious hiding
places. A thorough search of the
great building caused a number of en-
thusiastic advocates of Votes for
Women" to be dragged into the light
OF day, but not with them were the
chief honors. These fell to Miss Ken.

A subject of interest in the report is
the statement that expectation OF food

has fallen lower than any other time

prehension, especially as 1t is accom-

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
a railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district of a fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has it's school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to it's own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense Of tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns Of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 1875 million dol
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers Of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t Is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went. to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it,"
With crops yielding them a profit of
$40 to $25 per acre, n some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at dit.
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
In the different states, and they all ex.

and promise to take some Of their
friends back with them. There Is still

did districts, and other lands a be

study of the subject and the ability

of insects cover virtually every known

The models are a true reproduction,
fantastic In some cases and hideous in
others, and they furnish exceptional
means for persons interested in agri-
culture to study both the insects that
destroy crops and the others that pre-.
serve agricultural products.

Uncle Sam Gets After the Loafers

ant secretary of the treasury, who
handles the annual estimates for all
departments. and he has not yet ex-
amined a single public Office without
finding faults to be cured and the ex-
pense to be cut off. The trouble lies
largely in an unnecessary number Of
employees n a consequent system OF
loafing and Sinking hat would not
be tolerated in any private business.
Much of the investigation SO far
made has been the personal work OF
Mr.. Norton. Thus in an office under
the treasurer of the United States he
found the work far behind and an ap-
plication for more employees o file.
Mr.. Norton vel to this office at nine
in the morning, when business Is sup
posed to begin, and found it empty.
Presently a few of the clerks arrived,
but it was ten o'clock before all OF
them We're there and at work. At
1870 some of them went out to lunch,
and it was 100 before all of them
were again at their desks. Shortly
after four they begin to leave the
place, although the days work Is not
supposed to be yer until 4:30. At
that hour not a soul remained in the
Office.
After satisfying himself this was the
daily routine in the Off ce Mr.. Norton
sent for Charles H. Treat, then treas
urer, and exploded his bomb. He or
dered that instead of increasing tho
force in that Office it was to be re-
duced. This was done and the ot1ce

Lincoln was e~ndeavoring to soothe
her, and in a moment after Mr.. kreis-
mann's arrival, Lincoln did SO by
agreeing to what had apparently been
a subject Of controversy.
Mrs. Lincoln then stopped crying,
got up cheerfully, shook out her skirts,
gave a push or " to her hair and
went to the station with Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr.. kreismann afterward learned.
Mrs. Lincoln desired a relative Of
hers appointed naval officer at the
port OF New York. Lincoln had re-
fused to promise until the crisis at the
last moment before he left for Wash
ington.
Judd had expected to be in Mr.. Lin
coins cabinet. The place he desired
was that OF secretary OF interior. No
definite promise had been made, but
Judd felt confident that his services
would entitle him to a place.
He and kreismann stopped at the
old Willard hotel in Washington. The
inauguration was over, three or four
members of the cabinet had been an
nounced and Mr.. Judd had heard moth
ing from the White House. Nor had
he gone near the White House.
