PUT aGHoST" ON DEFENSIVE
Irishman Was in Tight Place, but Not
Too Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.

To illustrate the ever-ready wit of
the Irish the following story was told
at banquet held recently:
An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery in order to short
en- the distance. group of friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun
at his expense. Accordingly they
found a sunken grave across which
his path lay, dug it out and covered it
with boards in such manner that he
must fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still sQuirming about in
the bottom of the hole, striving to ex-
tricate himself, three or tour of his
friends. attired in white sheets and
other ghostly accoutrements, sudden
ly made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out of his wits and almost
tainted when one of them said:
What are you doing in my grave?"
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
Faith, and what are you doing out
of it?" he asked.

Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 5000 Years
1t Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set
fling of Millions.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources Of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits Of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that OF btu
minous coal there is in Canada 73h
billion ton3; of anthracite 461 mill
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity Of unmixed good coal,
Of "a billion tons, 1t would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. If
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 14,575 years. OF
course the coal demands Of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
Of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
!500,0OO,000 tons. At that rate it
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end Of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per-
sons a year (and it looks now as if this
number would be reached this year.,

Bullets Exchanged by Supporters Of

Averted at First.

Huntsville, Mo.-Bitter personal diff.
ferences, engendered by the congress
sional campaign in Randolph county,
resulted in a street duel between Van.
Davis, editor of the Huntsville Times,
a supporter of w. w. Rucker, and
John N. Hamilton, editor of the Hunts
vile Herald, who is an ardent advo-
cate of the candidacy of j. H. White
cotton. Both men were shot, and a
b%ystander may die of a wound re-
ceived.
Several hundred persons were pass
Ing the p~ostoffice, where the fight be-
gan, at 4:30 o'clock, whom the mail
is distributed.
Hamilton entered the postoffice, and
was at the end of the line when Davis
went in. Both men drew revolvers
and the first shots rang out as one.
Neither was effective.
Hamilton stepped toward Davis, and
fired again. Davis standing about ten
feet off, backed out and rapidly fred
every cartridge in his revolver.
Davis staggered, but steadied him
self and threw his weapon, narrowly
missing Hamilton, and ran down the
street. Hamilton followed, firing as
he ran.
1t was while the last shots in the
%postoffice were being fired that Pearl
Gum, who was standing back of the
two men, was shot, the bullet narrow
ly missing his heart.
The Chautauqua audience just dis
missed, came down the street toward
the ~postoffice, and the bullets fired
by Hamilton at Davis, who was stag
gering and soon stopped, whizzed over
their heads.
J, M. Morris, deputy sheriff, at the
head Of the crowd, ran up and took
Hamilton's gun from him and arrest
ed both men.
Davis was found to be shot In the
left hip, and Hamilton had a bullet
wound in the left arm.
The clothing Of both was perforated
with bullet holes. Both were re-
leased under $1,000 bond and ap-
peared later before a Justice Of the
peace.
The shooting was due to a quarrel

being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption Of coal will naturally in
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become so well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and 1t will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
!, 1t may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
Of wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
a hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or bar
ley, there is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds Of
thousands who will follow. There. re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
OF the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
of a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There Is no desire on the
part Of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler in the Provinces of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province Of British Column
bia, or to speak Of the thousands Of in
dividuals whose hundreds OF dollars
have made them thousands, but atten-
tion must be paid to the fact that these
people have done well. They are fol
lowed by their. families and their
friends, who also are, doing well.
Where, a few years ago, seemingly
only months ago, there was nothing
but the open prairie, or II we speak Of
