The ACadians

But it was a very sad experience
that met them there. They were
like the GHOSTS of the dead revis-
iting the scenes of their childhood
Their lands were occupied by new
corners. OF their flocks and herds
naught remained but the bleaching
bone heaps where the cattle had
huddled and died in the wintry
storms. New, Strange faces filled
the old homes. Strange children
played beneath the windows of the
cottages and the voices of the boys
under the apple trees shouted in an
alien tongue.
The great majority Of the Aca-
dams however, made no attempt ta
return. and. accepting their fate a.
gracefully as was possible, abided
in the places where their destiny
had sent them. Today, all the way
from Maine to Louisiana. dwell the
descendants of the people who we're
banished from Acadia in 1755, and
some of them, especially in Louis
lana, occupy high positions in So
cial and civic life.
As regards England's guilt in the
matter of the Punishment of the
Acadians, something worth while is
to be said on both sides. There
may have been guilt in the txans
action, but it was not all on the,
side of England. That much is\ GER
tain. 1t may be that Englandl did
wrong in deporting the Acadians,
but what was England to do? The

and religion, absolutely refused 70

THE Punishment of the Aca
dams began one hundred and
fifty-seven years ago and the
world is still discussing the ques-
ton as to whether or not the act
was the blacklist ever committed
under the British flag.
The order for the Punishment was
issued in secret conclave. and mes
sages were sent to the officers Of
land forces and ships at Annapolis
to begin at once to put it into exc
cution.
The edict was that every man,
woman and child of the Acadians
should be forcibly deported. I'm
mediately the men of the Acadian
settlements were summoned to the
churches to hear the will of the
king. Once inside, doors were
locked. windows barred. soldiers
placed on guard and the edict read.
From September to December the
deportation continued. and before
the winter had fairly set in the
Acadian people were scattered from
New England to far away Louis

hundred We're sent away.
Some of them found in homes in
Quebec, the others wandered. home

After the peace of 1853 some eight
hundred gathered themselves to-

march overland through the tan
gled forests of Maine and New
Brunswick on the return to their
beloved Acadia, the present Nova

their baggage on sleighs, pausing to

TT Jules Verne's Captain Memo,

thousand leagues under the

But DR.. Francis Ward had not in

veracious Frenchman wrote his ro-

visual proof of his statements
about what goes on under the wa

himself how interesting his expert

BY DOROTHY DIX.

Never forget that people do not
want a poor old woman about
them, and that the only way you
can be sure of always being a well
come guest and made much of when
YOU are old and feeble is to have
enough money to make X worth
while for people to court you
Don't forget that all through life
we have to pay as we go, and when
we are old the price is doubled on
us.
Don't give away your money,
even to your children, while you
are alive. Expectation of favors to
come is a stronger staff to lean on
than gratitude for benefits re-
ceiveG.
These words of advice may we'll
be taken to heart by every widow
who reads them for they are a
guide and a sign post, pointing a
safe road for her to travel that will
keep her from falling into the bogs
of misery into which women left
alone to shape their own course
generally stumble
Consider again the pith of the
counsel of this modern Solomon.
DON'T GO TO LIVE WITH
YOUR MARRIED CHILDREN.
Thereby will you avoid all the
sorrows. and miseries, and complex
tiles of the iu-law proposition, and
remain on good terms with your
sons wife and your daughters hus-
band instead of being hated and
insulted by them.
KEEP A HOME OF YOUR OWN.
No woman who has been mistress
of her own house for half her life
time can ever fit in anybody else's.

TO do it, always ends in disaster

ence in the way poor old Aunt Su
san and rich Aunt Susan are
treated.
DON'T TURN OVER YOUR
MONEY TO YOUR CHILDREN
WHILE YOU'RE ALIVE. If vour
children love you, and consider you.
they won't want you to beggar
yourself for them and become de-
pendent upon them. They won't
want your money, and if they are
the greedy sort that can't wait till
you die to get it, they will have no
further use for you when they have
fleeced you. We have all seen
Mother treated worse than a ser
want in her own house that she had
been fool enough to deed over to
her son.
1t is an added tragedy of widow
hood that it so often leaves a wom-
an as bewildered and helpless as =
child. She has always been taken
care Of always thought for. always
had somebody to make the decisions
for her. ana when she is thrown on
her own resources she doesn't know
what to do and becomes the victim
of the sharpers that are always on
the lookout for such poor innocents
as she.
She is lonesome. and she'll go to
live with anyone who asks her. She
doesn't know anything about BUSH
ness and she signs any paper a
lawyer will bring her. She is heart
broken, and she is so grateful for
sympathy she doesn't look TO see
how people are taking advantage of
her grief to swindle her.
She feels that life is over for her.
and it doesn't matter much what
she does or where she goes; but this
is cruel mistake. as she finds out
in bitterness and tears after she has
made it. Many years of life stretch
before her in which she can be at
least comparatively happy and
peaceful, if she has had intelligence
enough to choose the right road
that leads through the valley of
widowhood. And along this road
she can have no better mentor than

do not think this is true in all
cases. But it is true in many.
Not many of us realize that
Work, Wages and the Cost Of Liv-
ing all unite to constitute a bust
ness that must be run on business
principles, AND MADE TO PAY
PROFIT.
The Real Remedy.
Lots of men and women have
to take such work as they can
get, and accept the wages offered.
or go without. This condition af-
fects the unskilled labor class more
than any other. On such a basis
of Work and Wages, the Cost OF
Living Is always precarious.
The remedy, then, is for the I'M
skilled worker to become skilled.
To do this he must think, keep his
eyes open, and gradually find
place for himself that will demand
more of him than unskiIled labor
calls out
When unskilled labor waits dis
contentedly for some higher power
to make life easy, it is mistaking
the Office of the three legged stool;
it is trying to make the COW sit
where the mixer should be.
In fact, ehe whole business of
getting a living from the world
about us is very much like the
story told above
A mans time and strength are
his producer; the COW, in 9TH
er words. The world in which he
lives is the PASTURE The stool is
his place of work or business.
Never Waste Anything.
Now, a COW meandering up and
down a pasture all day eating
clover and rich grass comes in at
night, not with clover and grass,
BUT WITH TEN CENT MILK
AND SIXTY CENT CREAM.
She would be poor breed of COW
if she sat on a stool all day and
waited for President Taft to bring
her handful of red clover and
forget me-nots every little while.
Now about the pennies we waste.
No farmer throws milk away. He
utilizes every drop of it, and makes
it bring in every penny possible.
Well, then, every penny ought to
be made to bring in as much milk
and honey as possible.

n MES we spend would support

Another writer declares that the
laboring man is entitled to a great
er share in the profits of his labor
than he gets.
There is no problem before the
American people today that is so
full of complexities as that which
involves q consideration Of Work,
Wages and the Cost of Living.
Everybody is facing this prob
lem, and trying to make guess
at its solution. Most of US go
about it in the wrong way.
You have heard the story Of the
city youth who spent a week in
the country. He was daintily
dressed and wore lavender gloves.
one evening he asked permission
of the farmer with whom he was
boarding to milk the family COW.
Trouble With the Cow.
The farmer gave the young man
a milk pail and a three-legged
stool, and told him he would find
the COW in the pasture back of the
barn.
An hour passed by and the Law
ender gloves had not yet come in
with the trimming milk pail.
The farmer thought it time to
investigate, and going to the edge
of the pasture he saw the cow
trotting around the field about
twenty yards in front of the young
gent from town.
Hey" said the farmer,
haven't you MIXED her YETI"
mo sir" replied the wn-bred
youth.
We'll, why not? You've been
out here an hour
why, you see, sir" said the
young man. Il can't induce the
COW to sit down on this stool"
This is a good illustration of the
possibility of misunderstanding
the purpose of things.
Which leads to this conclusion:
In the problem of Work, Wages
and the Cost Of Living, a lot of US
are trying to make the COW sit on
the stool
Another writer has insisted in
saying that the average working
man gets as much as he gives. L

Watch Us Grow.

The increase in population is not the
most significant or gratifying part of
the growth shown by the new census.
The advance in foreign trade and in
domestic values is quite as eloquent Of
our progress. Take, for example. the
n item of farm values.
Three states, Virginia, Nebraska and
Washington, the oldest state in the
Union, a great central state and the
newest of the Pacific coast common
Wealths, in the agricultural return re-
Gently issued for the three show how
this country grows. Washington in
forty years has seen it's farms grow a
hundredfold in value, from $6,362,235
to 1898, 754,341. In the last ten years
they have quadrupled in value.
Nebraska, with $2,O79,S18,647 of farm
property, has trebled it's value in ten
years, quadrupled it in twenty years,
grown eightfold in thirty years, sew
entyfold in forty years and 415 fold
in fifty years. The number of farms in
the last ten years has changed but lit
tie, but the average value per farm has
grown two and a half times.
Virginia is a state which most look
on as stationary, but its farm values
have doubled in ten years, rising from
$3323,923,527 to $625. O65, 1888.
These three states tell their own
story of an Astounding increase of the
value Of land owned by the many of
the constant diffusion Of this land,
while the share owned continues stead
lily increasing.
Horace Greeley's admonition, go
west. young man. and grow up with
the country" should now be para
