After the Picnic.

The picnic is over,
And homeward we start,
Dusty and weary
With sunburns that smart;
Eyes that are heavy
And feet that are sore,
Little ones peevish,
The happiness DER,
Crying and whining,
Worn out with their play,
This is the end of
The great picnic day.
What's in the basket
The weary man Tugs?
Uneaten sandwiches,
Butter and bugs;
Knives and forks greasy,
4 slab of plum pie
That back must be taken,
But no one knows why;
TANNED in with cookies,
Bananas and cake.
Oh, what a mixture
That homeward we take.
Jars that hold salad
Now "oozing with GOO"
A bottle of pickles,
The juice leaking through.
A tumbler of jelly
That fell in the sand,
A cup full of beans
The variety canned.
Where will you find
Such mess, let me ask it,
As this we bring home
Late at night in the basket?

THE HORSES OF lNDRA.

THE HORSES OF iNDRA.
Up from the green sea valleys
That the wild, white horses range,
Up from the ocean pastures
That the foam-steeds ravage and
change,
The storm-God gathers his cloud
herd
And drives them away at his will.
The Wild white horses of Indra,
That have stopped and have drunk
their Eli.
He herds them up heavens steep hol-
low
Aslope from the low, sea-marge,
And the sky is filed with their thun-
der
And the terror of their charge
Is filed with the sweep OF squadrons,
The shout OF the Storm Gods ire,
And hoofs that strike from the sky
way
The spark OF the levin FIRE.
Beneath them their white sea-brothers
Run raging with tangled name,
To the call of the wild winds warning
Through the serried ranks of the
rain.
But 10! in the east it is dawning.
And clear and blue is the sky,
And green and peaceful the sea-piain
When the storm herds have swept
by.

him of publishing matter secured sur

to the cost OF thing as a burden. when
thing has had a great deal to do with
the enormous increase In productive
capacity and corresponding rise in
price Of Iowa lands. Iowa lands were
never SO we'll worth the money as they
are today, we're never so profitable, and
were never SO sure to advance In
price. The Register and Leader knows
Of one township in Iowa that II put on
the market to be sold in week would
bring better than 5000 an acre. That
township will sell for $500 an acre
within the memory OF men now in the
prime Of life.
The wheat country Of Canada, and
the range country OF the west and
southwest and the irrigated regions
have but little to do with the value OF
Iowa land. All the Iowa land owner
needs to do is to farm intellfgently and
preserve the fertility Of his soil and he
will live long enough to hear himself
denounced as the chief nonopolist. as
he will be. because the ownership Of the
rich food-producing soil of the world
will be the fundamental monopoly.

Canada is not only increasing her
population rapidly thru immigration,
but she appears to be absorbing high
" desirable people from other lands.
Only recently settlers were reported
entering Manitoba at the rate of con-
slderabiy more than a thousand a day;
and those figures represented only a
comparatively small portion of the
great stretch CT country that lies be-
yond the United States northern bor-
Ger line. Now comparisons shows that
at least one stream of immigra ton is
diverging from New York, Boston and
other American ports, and flowing
strongly to Halifax and ST. John. No
doubt the shorter passage between
Europe and Canada has a bearing. and
possibly there has been a large entry
to lands in the western United States
by immigrants who landed at Canadian
ports; but it would hardly seem that
facts and figures thoroughly warrant
the explanation that the diversion OF
Immigration Is entirely one Of landing
ports and not of places Of settlement
Moreover, there is something partic-
ularly worthy of notice in the fact thar
the standard of immigrants who have
entered Canada in the last two years
has been higher than ever before.
They arc mostly English -sneakinz
people, the greater number of them
coming from England, Ireland and
Scotland. And many Of these people
are plentifully supplied with money.
This latter statement applies especially
to the Scotch, one party of whom, in
Guiding 200 heads Of families, brought
$500 900 in all when they landed at
Halifax recently. Any nation might
be glad to welcome such thrifty men
and their families, but the lure Of Cam
ada evidently attracts them more
strongly than the promise in the great
nation to her south. It is true that
some steamship companies have acted
already ON the noticeable detection OF
immigration from American ports, and
have entered the Canadian service.
The fact that more than loo, 900 per-
sons have landed at Halifax and St
John since last November and that
thousands more are said to be waiting
in Europe for steamers to bring them
across furnished q strong business ap-
peal.
Immigration to the United States
frequently has reached proportions and
taken on a complexion at times that
aroused serious thoughts Of impoS-
ing more stringent entrance require
ments. Meanwhile. Canada, more dis
I, eliminating, has picked ana chosen ia
