The HOME LIFE OF THE
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE LuxURlES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
a certificate at the Milwaukee ONCE
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent OF
the railway at the Canadian boundary
dne she secured a ticket at a reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was a
couple Of years ago, and the young
lady Is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing of her trip to the Mil
waukee representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: Il enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring" To
the housewife the information that
she has put up twelve quarts of rasp-
berries" is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity II
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, "the country is
very beautiful" Speaking Of the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: "They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres pc
tatoes and I don't know how many Of
vegetables. I think they have about
forty acres under cultivation aItogeth-
er. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards plow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd of cattle, and Mrs. G.
has about 100 chickens. They make
on an average of 80 pounds of butter
every week. I never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta; they have a splendid cli-
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out of the upbuilding
of a new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive coun-
tries of the century. Numbers of let
tiers that express satisfaction as ex-
IRENE as the one quoted appear in
literature sent out by the Canadian
Government and which may be had
on application to any of its agents.

London Through the AGES.

1t Is proposed to establish In the
British metropolis a use to be
devoted to the exhibition of relics
pertaining to the history of London
from the earliest times of its occupa-
ton by man. These times u back
much farther than most readers are
aware. The city that julius Caesar
found occupied a site which had been
inhabited for unnumberedt thousands
of years. 1t is now known that dur
ing Paleolithic and Neolithic times
the two great divisions of the stone
age-man dwelt on the site Of Lon
don, but 1t first became the settle
ment Of a community at the opening
of the historic age, when 1t was a
stronghold Of the Celts. The remains
of its Roman period are the finest Of
the kind in Great Britain. The Anglo
Saxon and Danish periods are also
finely represented, and even later
periods, such as the Tudor, furnish
relics that have been buried by that
strange process OF superintendent
growth which makes the soil under
a great city resemble the fossilifer-
GUS strata Of geology.-Youth's Com

any, had been left regarding my case

An Everyday Creed.

l desire to radiate health, cheerful
ness, sincerity, calm courage and good
will. I wish to live without hate,
within, jealousy, envy or fear. I wish
to be simple, honest, natural, frank,
clean in mind and clean in body, I'M
affected, ready to say Il do not know"
If SO 1t be, to meet all men Oh an abb
solute equality, to face any obstacle
and meet every difficulty unafraid ard
unabashed. l wish others to live
their lives, too, up to their highest,
fullest and best. To that end l pray
that I may never NEEDLE, dictate, in
terfere, give advice that is not want
ed, nor assist when my services are
not needed. If I can help people I'll
do it by giving them aschance to help
themselves; and if I can uplift or in
spire let it be by example. That is
to say, l desire to be radiant-to radi-
ate life.-Elbert Hubbard.
