MORE MEN FAINT

New York, when secrets are re-
vealed by some local tailors, we
find them, though scoring a lower
record. not entirely exempt from
the charge.
The proprietor of the Croft Tail
oring Co. confided to me that they
had had about six men faint in
their shop within the past five
years. Il think" he continued,
that their fainting was caused
from the rigid position in which
they stood while being fitted"
At the Popular Prices tailor
shop, the manager understood me
to say painted instead of tainted.
He hesitated moment, decided it
was hard to answer, and | imme-
diately began simplifying the mat
ter. Soon he caught his mistake
and then he laughed. I'VE really
haven't had any men faint in the
shop, but We have had many come
very near fainting, Most of those
men, however, were men who had
been sick" he added, with
phase of loyalty, land were still
weak; the robust westerners never
faint"
One of the local tailors who has
been established in the city for
over three years, said the only
thing which caused the men to
faint was the prices, and he quick
ly added that none had tainted in
his shop.
Mr.. Freese of the Pease- Freese
Tailoring Co. reported only one ex-
perience: This spring." said Mr..
Freese, Il was down in small
town in Yakima valley. 1t was ~
in the shade. A man tainted while
being fitted, but l think it was
caused from the heat and over
exertion more than the strain of
having his suit fitted"
The manager of the Spokane
Tailoring Co: That in New York?
Well, that might be true in New
York, but It won't go with the hale,
hardy men of the western states.
In all my years Of experience
never saw a westerner faint in my
shop But say" he continued,
probably a little conscience strick-
en-, many of them might have
been shocked, but they never went
clear Off"

STRANGE BIRDS SEEN
1

Several fishermen in the vicinity
of Natatorium park Tuesday even
ing saw species of a strange bird
which acted like none they had ever
seen or read of before. Two of the
fishermen had a bottle of bait" in
their pockets and frequent pulls at
this probably heightened their i'm
nations. They were standing close
together just about dusk when they
all heard a strange twittering and
chattering over their heads.
Upon looking in a nearby tree
they could family discern a flying
form leaping from one branch to an
other, and the strangest part Of it
was that these birds We're catching
the limbs by their tails and swing
ing themselves into position over
the top of the limb.
The old question, DO you see the
same things that l do?" was asked
by one Of the party, and they all
agreed that these birds were hang
ing to the branches by their tails
After determining that each man
saw the same thing, they decided
to make a closer investigation, and
on getting near could see that these
same birds were monkeys. Mon
keys they were in reality and mon
keys they still are, if alive, for they
had belonged to Natatorium park,
and some time during Tuesday
afternoon had sprung the bars of
their cage, making good their es-
cape.

SEATTLE LIKED THE
SELLS.FLOTO CIRCUS

Speaking Of the visit Of the Sells
Floto circus to Seattle, the Seattle
Star said:
There are three very vital de-
fects in the Sells-FlOto circus. In
the first place. you pay only 25
cents TO see it; in the second place,
the employees are all civil, even cour-
teous; and thirdly. there is no
grating IN the show.
whoever heard Of a civil ticket
seller, taker or tent man in cir
Gus? And. finally, whoever expected
to see a real big tent show for %
cents?
Surely Mr.. Tammen. who owns
the show, is ignoring custom. Per
haps the public is pleased with his
policy. 1t would seem so, as 1000
people were turned away from the
main tent last night If you ar
rived after O'Clock YOU didn't see
the inside Of the big tent"

9O,000 AMERICAN
 SETTLERS GO
 TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY PER CENT IN AMERICAN
 SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada. OUT next door neighbour, the neighbourly country across the boundary line. are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of taking up and settling upon the va cant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies are selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would be low, as the lands produce wonderfully. and at these higher figures there is large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand set tiers of last year, followed about sixty thousand of the previous year, and for several years the number has been running into these large figures. There must be a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase they are satisfied Nothing attracts people more than the success of others, and the news of this reaching other thou sands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this case is always satisfactory. The splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high ic allo asked for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever increasing demand for grain. there comes the ever increasing de- mand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent in a position to supply it. Land there that costs, say fifteen dollars an acre, produces on reasonable calculation, 20 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about s20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produce $750 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The S7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceiv- able contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it is read fly understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of the previous year. Canadian Govern ment Agencies at different points in the Union are always ready to give in formation regarding the free home stead lands, ready to advise the set tier as to the districts which wOllld suit him best.
