"But Paris is full of French wait

earnestness and absolute simplicity
"The propositions a straight one. The
proprietor of the hotel says that the

Mended situation.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself. according to the New York
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Times
Star. He was in Washington on bust
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a. mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. "I'm on the stun, .
said he,. "but want to buy you each
cigar"
They happened to be in front Of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr.. Fellner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them. Be.
fore Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped box
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. "Best dime smoker In town."
Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. "Have
you no other price?" he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. "Sure thing" said he. "My mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled OF this time-worn
witticism. he addressed Mr.. Fellner
confldentially. "Your clothes sort OF
fooled me-" said he. "You fellers are
pretty well-dressed lot, you know
Then he put another box on the coun.
ter. Here" said he, lis the best

Meant to Be Real Bad.

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Claire Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as is in
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginia's room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact,
they practiced swearing just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhead them each pro-
duced slip Of paper containing the
swear word and fred away.
"Bulldog!" said Virginia.

But the ceiling didn't drop, and
there was no earthquake to swallow
them up. and the two resumed their
play. . tribe disappointed at the tame
termination OF their badness. Cleve-

FREoUENT QUESTION An.
sWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year Of 1911 than did almost any;
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet!
ter. Crops Of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usuaAy excellent ripening weather
IN August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 10 and so bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to Is and 30 bush
els. while some of course gave the,
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face Of, these conditions, it Is found
that during the months of September
and October. the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized q total Of 1871 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be.
Ing 1874 cents; that below contract
for the two months was q little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver.
age price Of S91h cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
Of IS million bushels, which realized
a total Of little over thirty-one mil.
lion dollars.
On the first Of November, there
was In the hands Of the farmers of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels Of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than IS cts. q bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost Of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat of
177s cts. and for his high grade wheat
Of 1919 cts; and though this is not
as large profit as the farmer has
every right to expect. it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid. unless the
value Of aow-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

They were placed in banks, stores

rections on how to pillow deep. The
daily and weekly papers and the ag

er and placed it in all its stations
Farm machinery companies used it on
their advertising matter and the ex

"By these methods the farmers Of
North Dakota were confronted with
lessons in deep blowing whether al

Mr.. Palmer said the North Dakota
bankers were so pleased with the sue
cess of the poster system for extern
sion purposes that they requested him
to prepare a second bulletin on the
