Big Pencils for Lower Grade Schools.

The Baltimore school board has
authorized the use of large round lead
pencils in the lower grade schools,
where children are just beginning to
write, so as to prevent what is known
as writer's cramp. This is kind of
paralysis which is common among
bookkeepers, accountants and others
who use pen or pencil constantly
during the day and is primarily
caused by gripping the pencil too
tightly, causing a cramping of the
muscles of the hand.
BY the use of the large pencil the
child just learning to write finds IT
impossible to grasp the pencil except
in an easy way, and writing is less
difficult and without restraining et!
fort. Many mothers have wondered
why children are using the big PEN
ellis, and according to Superintendent
Van Sickle this is the reason.

Lincoln and breaches Socialism.

Butte.-Lewis j. Duncan, Butte's So
cialist mayor, invited by the Spanish
War Veterans to extend the welcome
of the city to the G. A. r. at smoker,
launched forth in a vitriolic attack
upon Abraham Lincoln in a manner
that caused the old soldiers to gasp
in establishment and every one upon
the platform with Duncan to leave it.
Without taking the trouble to offer
an imaginary key of the city to the
visitors upon the occasion of their
state encampment. Duncan began an
argument for socialism which he urged

$4,000 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

SURPRISES ALL RECORD.
The returns recently issued by tho
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards Of $4,000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton Of becoming settlers in that coun-
try. OF this number about 10000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. It will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure Of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and fax
grown on the rich prairie Of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year tho tide
Of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains Increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
D but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 100 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis.
patch from Antwerp reads: 1.-THE d.
version of European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America Canada line
two Of the best special emigrant
steamers afloat, the Cortland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
in the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports"
On the date Of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
that the vanguard Of the 1911 army
of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1880 o'clock this morning.
There was q solid train load of ef-
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members of 25
families. Every man Jack in the
party is skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every
thing that experience has shown is
necessary to make start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were large
number Of horses and cattle Some of
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking"
One of the agents Of the Canadian
government advises that 1t would ap-
pear as if each month Of the present
year would show large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department, describ-
ing the country and it's resources, is
greater than 1t ever has been.

Captor Of Outlaw is Dead.

Bozeman.-John Charles, "a years
old, capturer of Deadwood Dick, and
who received $4,000 for breaking up a
noted gang of outlaws near Deadwood,
s. D., died here at the county poor
farm. Charles came to Bozeman from
the Black Hills in 1872, and for time
ran shoe repair shop here. He re.
turned to South Dakota in the seven
ties and became terror for despe-
radoes. In running pistol fight with
Deadwood Dick he was seriously
