Father Dore, half sitting up, switched

Again addressing the burglar, he said:
why didn't you come in the day

at the front door. You will find two
dollar rolls of nickels in the top dress

With his dark lantern the burglar

SURE DoGGIE's IN HEAVEN
Baby, Saved from Death by Brave
Canine, Is Comforted by
Assurance.

Reading, Mass.-Three-year-o Ar
thur Croteau is being comforted for
the death of Rex, his pet beagle, who
died to save his little master, by as
surance that Rex had gone to the
dogs heaven. Arthur was dragged
from the path of an automobile by
the intelligent dog. Arthur's 11-year.
old cousin. Dolia Riley, picked up the
dogs body and sad little procession
returned to Arthur's mamma.
Rex was year-old English beagle.
We had another beagle, Trix, but Trix
was poisoned about year ago. Then
we got Rex to console the baby"
After Rex was killed Arthur said
to his mamma: ''Will Rex go to heay.
en- where Trix went?"
Il told baby that Rex had gone to
the dogs heaven because he was a
good, brave doggie. That made Arthur
feel little better. But he is very
lonesome for his playmate"

PREFERRED WALK ON STREET
American Tourist Indignant at Seem
ing lmputation That He Had
Feline ProcIivities.

Senator Depew was asked by a re-
porter as he was having his luggage
examined last month, if he had
brought any stories back from Europe.
The senator laughed and replied:
We'll, in the smoke-room of the ship
heard an interesting thing about a
Montanan in Chester. Chester, you
know, is walled. Its wide walls, on
which you could drive a horse, are
famous. You can circle the town on
them.
But the Montanan knew nothing
about Chester. He had only arrived
in Liverpool that afternoon. And as
soon as he finished his quaint dinner
he said to the waiter in the quaint
Chester inn:
What is the best way for me to
amuse myself here for an hour or two
before bedtime?'
well, SIR said the waiter, it's a
fine evening, the moon is full, and
think you'd find stroll on the walls
most enjoyable
THE Montanan, ignorant of the pop
ular promenade upon the wide walls
of Chester, thought he was being
guyed. He frowned at the waiter and
said bitterly:
What do you take me for? A tom
cat?'"

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 sort of
apologetic 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 I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore lit 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 go
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 it, 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 a man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
ut 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-
