RECTOR WAS A FAN
HEARD THE SCORE AND CALLED
FOR LONG METER Dox.
OLOaY.
EVEN BISHOP FoRGAvE HIM
Echo Of Great Struggle Between Cubs
and White sox-How Zwllllng
Dieted to Reduce His Weight
Most Freaklsh Catch.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

This Is a story which Is perfectly
proper to tell, because one of the
bishops OF the Protestant Episcopal
church laughed until tears rolled down
his cheeks over It and forgave the
rector concerned. The rector Is In
charge of a prominent Chicago church.
and 1t so happened that he Is and al
ways will be White Sox fan.
In the vestry are two more White
Sox fans, who shall be called Smith
and Brown. because they would never
forgive the use Of their real names.
The story concerns the time that the
Chicago Cubs, representing the Ma
tional league, and the White Sox,
champions of the American league,
met to decide the worlds champion
ship.
There was civil war in Chicago that
fall. The series divided families and
caused neighborhood riots. Friends OF
q lifetime ceased to speak and good
citizens backened each others eyes
in the street because, foorsooth, one
thought the Cubs would win and the
other picked the White SoX.
The rector and the two vestrymen
had box at all the games during the
week-but. alas! for them. the final
game of the wild and exciting series
fell on Sunday and, worse than that,
on Sunday for which the rector had
announced special matin services.
But for the special services, Smith
and Brown might have compromised
their consciences and seen the game,
but knowing the rector would note
any absence on their part, they duti-
fully attended their church duties.
The special service was two-thirds
over when Brown was unable to stand
1t any longer. With intensely solemn
face he arose, tiptoed down the aisle
and made a quiet exit. Once outside,
he dashed madly across the street to
the drug store and reached a tele-
phone. A few moments later he re-
entered church. His face was
wreathed with a beatific smile and, as
he carefully parted his coat tails ana
resumed his seat, his chest overhung
his body like bay window. and the
absolute contentment of his smiling
countenance was only to be rivaled
by calf chewing a dish rag.
Brother Smiths pew was directly
across the aisle. He was twitching
with suppressed anxiety, and seeing
Browns face, he could contain him
self no longer, but stretched his neck
across the aisle and whispered:
"Who won?"
His whisper was audible to half the
church and the rector paused in his
discourse.
The Sox," replied Brother Brown.
his smile spreading. and his exultant
whisper penetrating even the choir
loft.
For an instant the rector was dazed.
A murmur ran through the church.

Mechanics. The music will not sound
natural, but weird and distant.
The trick is done by placing the end
Of a small stick on a music box in the
basement Of the house and allowing
the other end to pass up through the
floor and table top so 1t will project
about one-sixteenth Of an inch. The
stick may be placed by the side Of, be-
hind or through the center Of a table
leg. Be careful not to have any OBJ
struction In the way Of the stick. The
instrument is placed sideways on the
protruding end of the stick. The
fake" work of invoking the Spirits"
is performed and ended by stamping
the foot, which signals the operator in
the basement to start the machine,
and the violin seemingly produces mu.
sic without anyone touching 1t.
So impressive are the results, that
many people really think the spirits
OF the departed are playing the violin
with unseen hands. The music is
transmitted through the stick from the
music box to the. violin.

straightforward Wood.

This attractive little bench may be
satisfactorily made from any straight

the smaller pieces the boards from a
nicely finished box could be used.
The boy carpenter would do well in
copying this design to make a dolls

then, when he is intimately acquainted

A conscientious, Woodworking and

adopting Grape-Nuts food as one of
my articles Of diet.
For several years was much dis

day by indigestion. My breakfast
seemed to turn sour and failed to d.

other symptoms following the break
fast would wear away, only to return,
however, next morning.
Having heard Of Grape-Nuts food, /
finally concluded to give 1t trial. l
made my breakfasts Of Grape-Nuts
with cream, toast and Postum. The re-
suit was surprising In improved health
and total absence Of the distress that
had. for SO long time, followed the

MY digestion became once more
satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and

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

The returns recently issued by the
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 100000
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 the 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 1t
is 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: 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.C 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 solid train load of ef-
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members OF %
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 a 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"

government advises that 1t would APP
